Hedonites of Slaanesh – Mesmerising Mirror
- 6 5+ 7+ Slaanesh is fascinated by mirrors and their ability to reflect the innermost truth of the soul. Many of his manors within the Realm of Chaos are hung with enchanted panes of glass, none more so than the Temple of Twisted Mirrors, a tortuous labyrinth in which the souls of his favoured playthings are trapped. The magical constructs known as the Mesmerising Mirrors are the essence of these daemonic looking-glasses clasped in giant, taloned hands. Those wise to Slaanesh’s wiles know to swiftly avert their gaze, no matter the tearing sensation that wracks their souls, for it is those who stare into the Mirror who suffer the more terrible fate.
At first, these onlookers see visions of majesty in the Mirror: idealised reflections of themselves, with every battle won and every accolade laid before them. Pride and weakness compels the watcher to peer deeper, their desire a powerful intoxicant to nearby Hedonites. They cannot look away, even as the vision turns to one of mocking horror in which every ideal they possess is perverted. When their will finally breaks, their soul is sucked into the Mirror outright, drawn into the Dark Prince’s realm to be toyed with by his rapacious daemons. | ||
 Reaction: Opponent declared a MOVE ability for a unit wholly within 12" of this Manifestation |
IRRESISTIBLE LURE: The Mirror lures mortals as a candle draws moths to its light. Those strong enough to turn away feel knives of anguish and loss driven into their hearts.
Effect: If that enemy unit does not end the move closer to this MANIFESTATION than it was at the start of the move, inflict D3 mortal damage on it after the MOVE ability has been resolved.
| Any Movement Phase |
GAZE NOT INTO ITS DEPTH: A Mesmerising Mirror can enthral a warrior’s soul, offering tempting gifts of power while slowly sapping their very essence.
Declare: Pick an enemy unit within 6" of this MANIFESTATION to be the target.
Effect: Inflict D3 mortal damage on the target. Then, add 1 to hit rolls for the target’s attacks for the rest of the turn.

17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect. Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
