Hedonites of Slaanesh – Warscrolls

SWALLOW ENERGY: A Contorted Epitome’s mirror absorbs the most deep-seated conceits of those who look into it, channelling those fantasies back to Slaanesh’s Temple of Twisted Mirrors, where they can be blended into delicious torments.

Declare: Pick a visible MANIFESTATION within 12" of this unit and that was not summoned this turn to be the target, then make a banishment roll of 2D6.

Effect: If the banishment roll equals or exceeds the banishment value on the target’s warscroll, it is banished and removed from play.

The next time a visible friendly unit wholly within 12" of this unit uses a SUMMON ability, roll an additional D6, to a maximum of 3, when making the casting roll for that ability.

MAESTROS OF DISCORDANCE: An Infernal Enrapturess can play music so dissonant that it causes physical harm to enemies while captivating other daemonic entities beyond the veil of reality.

Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit within 18" of this unit to be the enemy target. Then, you can pick another visible friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH DAEMON unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the friendly target.

Effect: Roll a number of dice equal to the number of models in the enemy target unit. For each 6, inflict 1 mortal damage on the enemy target.

Then, you can pick 1 of the following effects:

• Heal (X) the friendly target, where X is the number of enemy models slain by this ability this phase.
• Return a number of slain models to the friendly target unit with a total Health characteristic equal to or less than the number of enemy models slain by this ability this phase.

SLAUGHTEROUS CELEBRANTS: Those Hedonites who follow a Lord of Hysteria have been stoked into such an inferno of depraved and mindless revelry that to approach them is to be dragged into a pit of wild, slavering animals and soon ripped to shreds.

Effect: While they are wholly within 12" of and visible to this unit, melee weapons used by friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH INFANTRY units have Anti-charge (+1 Rend).

ATROCIOUS MINISTRATIONS: To be the subject of a Lord of Pain’s monstrous arts is always energising for a true Hedonite – provided they survive the experience…

Declare: Pick a visible friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH INFANTRY unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target.

Effect: You can allocate 1 damage point to the target (ward rolls cannot be made for that damage point). Then, roll a dice. On a 3+, until the start of your next turn, the target can use CHARGE abilities even if they used a RUN or RETREAT ability in the same turn.

PARAGON OF VAINGLORY: Sigvald is the epitome of vainglory, one of Slaanesh’s favourite sins. So great is his sense of superiority that few can stand before his prideful assaults.

Effect: If this unit charged this turn and the unmodified charge roll was 6+ , for the rest of the turn:

• This unit has STRIKE-FIRST.
• The Attacks characteristic of this unit’s Shardslash is equal to the unmodified charge roll.
• Melee weapons, including Companion weapons, used by other friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH units have Crit (2 Hits) while they are wholly within 12" of and visible to this unit.

GAZE UPON MY MAGNIFICENCE AND WEEP: It is said that to look upon Sigvald is to have one’s mind stolen. Those who resist are cut down by outraged fellows – much to the petulant prince’s delight.

Declare: If this unit has not used a TEMPTATION ability this turn, pick an enemy unit in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Your opponent must decide whether the target will adulate or reject Sigvald.

Adulate: Until the start of your next turn, while the target is in combat with this unit, it must pick this unit to be the target of pile-in moves it makes.

Reject: Inflict D3+3 mortal damage on the target, then Heal (X) this unit, where X is the number of damage points inflicted on the target this turn by this ability.

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.

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 ENDLESS DANCE: The Masque is master of every breed of quickstep, pivot and sauté imaginable – and many that appear to defy both imagination and the limits of the flesh.

Effect: Pick 1 of the following effects:

The Dance of Dreaming: Pick a visible enemy unit within 6" of this unit to be the target. For the rest of the turn, if the unmodified hit roll for an attack made by that enemy unit that targets this unit is 1-4, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends.

The Pavane of Slaanesh: This unit can move 2D3". It can move through the combat ranges of enemy units and can end that move in combat.

The Waltz of Lethargy: Pick a visible enemy unit within 6" of this unit to be the target. For the rest of the turn, the target cannot use commands while it is in combat with this unit.

GIFTS OF PAIN AND PLEASURE: When working in concert, the daemons of a Thricefold Discord can harness the magics of their chosen debaucheries to wrack enemies with torment or offer boons to diverting allies.

Declare: Pick either a visible friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH INFANTRY unit wholly within 12" of this unit or a visible enemy unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target. Then, make a casting roll of 2D6.

Effect: If the target is a friendly unit, add 2" to its Move characteristic until the start of your next turn.

If the target is an enemy unit, inflict X mortal damage on it, then Heal (X) this unit. X is equal to the number of models in this unit.

WANDERING MINDS: The dark enchantments woven by Syll and the domineering aura of Esske cause mystical wards and mental defences to slip away like silk sliding from burnished silver.

Declare: Pick up to 1 visible friendly non-HERO SYBARITE INFANTRY unit and up to 1 visible friendly non-HERO HEDONITES OF SLAANESH DAEMON INFANTRY 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.

VIOLENT OFFERINGS: Esske will go to great lengths to please Syll, delicately prising magical trinkets from severed heads and limbs to gift to the source of his obsession.

Effect: If any damage points were allocated to an enemy WIZARD or PRIEST by this unit’s combat attacks this turn 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.

JOYOUS BATTLE FURY: Once Dexcessa begins to fight, they become invigorated by the glorious thrill of combat.

Effect: If any enemy models were slain by this unit’s combat attacks this turn, Heal (D3) this unit and add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of this unit’s Impaling Talons for the rest of the battle. This unit can be affected by this ability multiple times and the effects are cumulative.

REDOLENCE OF VIOLENCE: Should Dexcessa fall into a truly ecstatic rampage, very little can hope to survive the whirling, spiteful onslaught that they unleash – let alone remain in one piece.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Roll 2D6. If this unit charged this turn, add 2 to the roll. If the roll exceeds the target’s Health characteristic, 1 model in the target is automatically slain. If the target is a MANIFESTATION and the roll exceeds its banishment value, it is banished.

SUPERNATURAL GRACE: Whether they turn blows aside or simply dodge out of harm’s way, it is extremely difficult to pin down a Keeper of Secrets.

Effect: This unit can use CHARGE abilities even if it used a RETREAT ability in the same turn. In addition, no mortal damage is inflicted on this unit by RETREAT abilities.

LOCUS OF SLAANESH: With violence and excess, the walls of reality can be made thin enough to draw forth reinforcements of Slaaneshi daemons.

Declare: Pick a friendly non-HERO HEDONITES OF SLAANESH DAEMON unit that started the battle with 3 or more models and has been destroyed to be the target.

Effect: Set up a replacement unit with half the number of models from the target unit (rounding up) wholly within 12" of this unit and more than 9" from all enemy units.

CACOPHONIC CHOIR: The Keeper of Secrets unleashes a sanity-shattering chorus of magical sound.

Declare: Pick any number of visible enemy units within 12" of this unit to be the targets, then make a casting roll of 2D6. Subtract 1 from the casting roll for each target you picked after the first.

Effect: Inflict D3 mortal damage on each target.

DARK TEMPTATIONS: With a flourish and an ecstatic sigh, the Keeper of Secrets alters its scent to elicit the desired effect in its victims and plunge itself into a blissful state of combat euphoria.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Pick 1 of the following musks. Its effects apply for the rest of the turn.

Alluring Musk:

• This unit’s weapons have Crit (2 Hits) for attacks that target that enemy unit.
• Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that enemy unit that target this unit.

Psychotropic Musk:

• Subtract 1 from wound rolls for attacks made by that enemy unit that target this unit.
• Subtract 1 from the Rend characteristic of this unit’s melee weapons.

SUPERNATURAL GRACE: Whether they turn blows aside or simply dodge out of harm’s way, it is extremely difficult to pin down a Keeper of Secrets.

Effect: This unit can use CHARGE abilities even if it used a RETREAT ability in the same turn. In addition, no mortal damage is inflicted on this unit by RETREAT abilities.

REFINE SENSES: Shalaxi draws upon sensory magics to sharpen their followers' instincts and render them more decisive hunters.

Declare: Pick a visible friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6. Add 1 to the casting roll if this unit is the target.

Effect: The target has STRIKE-FIRST for the rest of the turn.

AN EXQUISITE TROPHY: Shalaxi Helbane delights in making examples of the enemy's greatest champions, redoubling their aggression to ensure victory and shatter enemy morale.

Declare: Pick an enemy HERO or MONSTER in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: For the rest of the phase, the following effects apply:

• This unit’s combat attacks that target that enemy unit have Crit (2 Hits) and score critical hits on unmodified hit roll of 5+.
• If the target is destroyed by this unit’s combat attacks this phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons used by other friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH DAEMON units while they are wholly within 12" of and visible to this unit.

WHISPERS OF DESIRE: Synessa whispers words that reveal the enemy’s darkest urges, breaking their concentration and causing them to falter in their attack.

Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit within 18" of this unit to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6.

Effect: For the rest of the turn, subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of the target’s melee weapons.

ENTHRALLING SPLENDOUR: A mere glance at Synessa’s magnificence leaves those nearby captivated.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit with a lower Control characteristic than this unit, that charged this turn and is in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Subtract 1 from wound rolls for the target’s attacks for the rest of the turn.

SLAVERING FOR SENSATION: This Bladebringer encourages their chariot-mounted followers to plunge themselves into enemy ranks.

Declare: Pick up to 2 friendly Hellflayer units wholly within 12" of this unit to be the targets.

Effect: Add 2" to the Move characteristic of this unit and each target for the rest of the turn.

THRESHING DOOM: The wail of an approaching Hellflayer sees enemy infantry diving for cover.

Effect: When this unit moves, it can pass through models in enemy INFANTRY units and can pass through the combat ranges of enemy INFANTRY units, but it cannot end a move in combat unless specified in the ability used.

MUTILATING BLADES: A Seeker Chariot inflicts carnage when it ploughs into the foe.

Declare: If this unit charged this phase, pick an enemy unit within 1" of it to be the target.

Effect: Roll a D3. On a 2+, inflict an amount of mortal damage on the target equal to the roll.

CRIPPLING FAMISHMENT: With a snap of his fingers, Glutos afflicts his prey with debilitating hunger pangs that see them double over and stumble in bouts of sudden weakness.

Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit within 18" of this unit to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6.

Effect: Until the start of your next turn:

• Halve the target’s Move characteristic.
• Halve run rolls and charge rolls for the target.

PARAGON OF GLUTTONY: None embody gluttony better than Glutos, who is ever craving new, extreme and excessive delicacies.

Effect: Pick 1 of the following delicacies for Glutos to savour. You cannot pick a delicacy that you picked in the previous turn. The effect applies for the rest of the turn:

Heart of a Shadow Daemon: While they are wholly within 12" of this unit, friendly non-MONSTER HEDONITES OF SLAANESH units are not visible to enemy units more than 12" from them.

Blood of an Aelven Princeling: Each time a friendly HEDONITES OF SLAANESH unit wholly within 12" of this unit uses a RUN ability, if you roll a 1-3 when determining the distance that unit can move, you can use a value of 4 instead.

Crushed Incarnate’s Core: Add 1 to unbinding rolls and banishment rolls for this unit.

Unspeakable Viscera: Inflict D6 mortal damage on each other unit (friendly and enemy) within this unit’s combat range.

GORGE ON EXCESS: Glutos’s followers grow strong on acts of gross indulgence.

Declare: Pick a friendly SYBARITE unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target.

Effect: Heal (6) the target or return a number of slain models to the target with a combined Health characteristic of up to 3.

SOULGORGERS: The grandest Bladebringers excel in stoking fits of manic violence in their fellow daemonic chariot crews and their steeds.

Declare: Pick up to 3 visible friendly non-UNIQUE HEDONITES OF SLAANESH WAR MACHINES wholly within 12" of this unit to be the targets.

Effect: Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of the targets’ melee weapons for the rest of the turn. This ability also affects Companion weapons.

ARCANE DISRUPTION: Fiends of Slaanesh let out a keening chorus that shreds the sanity of spellcasters who hear it.

Effect: Subtract 1 from casting rolls and unbinding rolls for enemy WIZARDS while they are within 12" of this unit.

DISHARMONIOUS SONG: The trilling song of the Fiends is hideous to perceive, breaking and twisting the mind. For those with arcane gifts or a divine connection, it is even more excruciating.

Declare: Pick each visible enemy unit within 6" of this unit that did not use a CHARGE or FIGHT ability this turn to be a target.

Effect: Roll a D3 for each target. You can re-roll the dice if the target is a WIZARD or PRIEST. On a 2+, inflict an amount of mortal damage on the target equal to the roll.

THE THRILL OF COMBAT: The sensory bombardment of a nearby melee gives the Blissbarbs a heady surge of adrenaline, heightening their reactions and the accuracy of their bowfire.

Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit in combat to be the target.

Effect: For the rest of the turn, this unit’s ranged weapons have Shoot in Combat and they also have Crit (Auto-wound) for attacks that target that enemy unit.

DANCE OF THE WAILING BLADE: The Myrmidesh are masters of a martial form known as the Dance of the Wailing Blade – a sword-kata that emphasises quick, cruel and painful counter-attacks.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: For the rest of the turn, for each unmodified hit roll of 1 for a combat attack made by that enemy unit that targets this unit, inflict 1 mortal damage on the target after the FIGHT ability has been resolved.

BESTIAL ONSLAUGHT: With primal savagery, the Slaangor Fiendbloods take to the battlefield, ready to surround their enemies.

Declare: Pick this unit if it is waiting in ambush.

Effect: Set up this unit on the battlefield wholly within 9" of a battlefield edge and more than 9" from all enemy units.

EGO-DRIVEN EXCESS: The Symbaresh have twisted their very souls in the hope of standing paramount amongst warriors. Nothing infuriates them more, therefore, than the sight of a potentially worthy rival.

Effect: For the rest of the turn, add 1 to the Damage characteristic of this unit’s melee weapons for attacks that target an enemy unit that has a higher Control characteristic than this unit.
