Hedonites of Slaanesh – Syll’Esske, the Vengeful Allegiance
8" 9 4+ 4 5+ Syll Lewdtongue has inspired thousands of warlords to acts of tyranny and misrule, but since uniting their powers with the megalomaniacal daemon-monarch Esske, the Herald of Slaanesh has become a force of conquest like no other. | ||

UNHOLY SYMBIOSIS: The dark enchantments woven by the twin entity Syll’Esske can offer power to both mortal and daemon alike – though there must always be a balance, a reflection of their own wicked union.
Declare: Pick up to 1 visible friendly SYBARITE unit and up to 1 visible friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH DAEMON unit to be the targets, then make a casting roll of 2D6.
Effect: If you picked a SYBARITE target, subtract 1 from ward rolls for damage points inflicted by its combat attacks until the start of your next turn. If you picked a DAEMON target, it has WARD (5+) until the start of your next turn.

CHAMPIONS OF THE GILDED THRONE: Blessed by Syll’Esske, nearby daemons and mortals fight with a synergy that defies comprehension.
Effect: When players are alternating picking units to use a FIGHT ability, when it is your turn to pick a unit, instead of picking 1 unit, you can pick a friendly non-HERO HEDONITES OF SLAANESH DAEMON unit wholly within 18" of this unit and a friendly non-HERO SYBARITE unit wholly within 18" of this unit. Resolve the second FIGHT ability immediately after the first.
| End of Any Turn |
VIOLENT OFFERINGS: Esske will go to great lengths to please Syll, delicately prising magical trinkets from the severed heads and limbs of the enemy to gift to the source of his obsession.
Effect: If any damage points were allocated this turn by this unit’s combat attacks to an enemy WIZARD, PRIEST, UNIQUE unit or unit with an artefact of power, and that enemy unit has been destroyed, add 1 to this unit’s power level for the rest of the battle. This unit can be affected by this ability multiple times and the effects are cumulative.

The HEDONITES OF SLAANESH keyword is used in the following Hedonites of Slaanesh warscrolls:
13.1 Fight Abilities
Abilities with the FIGHT keyword follow a different sequence to other abilities. When the players are using Combat Phase
abilities as described in 13.0, they cannot use FIGHT abilities.After the players have finished using
Combat Phase
abilities that are not FIGHT abilities, they must alternate picking 1 eligible unit to use a FIGHT ability, starting with the active player. Each unit in combat must use a FIGHT ability if it is able to.Once a player has no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, the other player continues to pick units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, one after another, until there are no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability.

6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
Combat attacks
Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.1.0 Wizards and Priests
WIZARDS are special units that can cast spells, and PRIESTS are special units that can chant prayers. Spells and prayers are powerful abilities that can have a dramatic impact on the battle.

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.

Army List
Warscrolls collated1.1 Power Level
Each WIZARD and PRIEST has a power level shown after the keyword, e.g. WIZARD (2). A WIZARD’s casting power level determines how many Spell abilities they can use per phase. A PRIEST’s chanting power level determines how many PRAYER abilities they can use per phase.
2.0 Spells
The declare step of each spell will tell you to make a casting roll of 2D6. If the roll does not equal or exceed the spell’s casting value (at the top-right corner of the spell), the spell fails and its effect is not resolved.If the unmodified casting roll includes 2 or more rolls of 1, the spell is miscast: the spell fails, its effect is not resolved, D3 mortal damage is inflicted on the WIZARD that used it, and that WIZARD cannot use any more spells in that phase.
Enemy reactions can only be used if the casting roll equals or exceeds the spell’s casting value. So long as the spell is not unbound (see 4.0), then it is successfully cast: resolve its effect.

18.2 Allocating Damage
After resolving the effect of any ability that inflicts damage points (whether via attacks, mortal damage or both), you must allocate the damage points.When allocating damage points to a unit, the damage points in its damage pool are allocated to it one at a time. Each time the number of damage points allocated to the unit equals the Health characteristic of that unit, 1 model in that unit is slain (and removed from play) and the number of damage points allocated to that unit is reset to 0. Keep allocating damage points until there are none left in the damage pool.
If the number of damage points allocated to a unit is not enough to slay a model, keep track of the number of damage points currently allocated to the unit (most players place a dice or markers next to the unit). While a unit has any damage points allocated to it, it is damaged.

4.1 Enhancements
Each set of faction rules include a number of enhancements that can be given to units, e.g. heroic traits and artefacts of power. You can take 1 enhancement from each enhancement table in your faction rules. Each enhancement table lists which units are eligible to be given that enhancement. UNIQUE units cannot be given enhancements.While some abilities allow you to take extra enhancements, the same unit can never have more than 1 enhancement of the same type, and you can never include the same enhancement in your army more than once. Enhancements cannot be given to Regiment of Renown units, unless they have a keyword that matches that faction’s name.
