Hedonites of Slaanesh – Blissbarb Archers

With sighs of sordid glee, the Blissbarb Archers rain sense-twisting death upon an enemy. These are the lowliest of Slaanesh’s mortal servants – those who have most recently come into the Dark Prince’s service or who lack the debauched imagination to rise. Nevertheless, they are utterly the Prince of Pleasure’s creatures. Having abandoned all sense of propriety, the Blissbarbs pierce their flesh in a deliberately painful fashion and wrap themselves in luxuriant silks. Their days are spent in mind-blasting revels, but when battle beckons, they take up their bows and dart forth to do Slaanesh’s work. Blissbarb Archers do not fight at range out of choice. Slaanesh’s champions have no desire for their close-quarters ‘entertainment’ to be disturbed by such lowly acolytes and instead bid the archers attack from afar. Still, the Blissbarb may partake in some of Slaanesh’s gifts. The shuffling Homonculi that follow them carry censers filled with blissbrew, a highly hallucinogenic substance. Not only do the fumes delight the Blissbarb, but by coating their arrow tips with the concoction, they also bring unravelling glee to their enemies. Foes who dutifully hold positions of tedious strategic import are the favoured prey of the Blissbarb, who hunger to drag these souls into their phantasmagoria.
