Hedonites of Slaanesh – Wheels of Excrutiation

The fabled Wheels of Excruciation are sorcerous flocks of living, bladed discuses that tear mortal creatures into slivers of bleeding flesh. Slaanesh and his scions relish torture in all its forms, but they retain an appreciation for less subtle methods of agonisation, such as wheels that rip and grind those caught amongst them, breaking the body little by little. Many such inventive devices can be found in the torment-boudoirs of the Palace of Pleasure, and the Wheels of Excruciation are magically crafted in their image. They spin across the battlefield at terrible speed, leaving shredded regiments in their wake. Some Slaaneshi sorcerers reserve the Wheels for foes whom they deem to be below their notice: massed mobs of grots, shrieking Clanrat swarms, the lowborn infantry of Sigmar’s cities. Tales are still told of the Laceration of Truth, one such spell-construct that hunted mendicant monk caravans across the deserts of Xintil at the behest of a Hedonite conjurer too indolent to pursue them herself. There are those devotees of the Dark Prince, however, who consider the pain-gift of the Wheels to be a mark of favour – indeed, these faithful summon smaller renditions of these spells to mortify their own flesh away from the battlefield.
