Daemonettes of Slaanesh
The hypnotic, dancing footsoldiers of Slaanesh, beguiling senses before shredding flesh with knife-edged claws, euphoric in the gift of pain.Daemonettes are the most numerous of all Slaanesh's servants. They are shrouded in a hypnotic glamour, seditious magics that bestow their repulsive features with perverse beauty. None can say what unearthly delights a Daemonette is believed to pleasure the soul with, but upon the reeking field of battle, pain is the gift they bring. Daemonettes surge across the battlefield on lithe legs, the whorls of pigment from their gaudy tattoos forming dizzying fractals of colour and shape. Capering troupes of the perverse creatures dance from foe to foe, claw-hands slicing through flesh and armour to bestow a savage and sensation-filled death.

Abilities
-
Daemonic Instability
As the Daemon's courage falters, their mortal form crumbles and fades from this reality. -
Banished!
Once the Daemon's courage has failed them, they will fall back through the portal to the Chaos Realm whence they belong.
Attributes
-
Causes Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack. -
Daemonic
This unit is Daemonic (has physical resistance, does not rout, is immune to terror, takes damage when Leadership is low) -
Devastating Flanker
Entities with this attribute double their charge bonus when attacking the rear or flank of an entity. -
Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Very Fast
This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire. - Armour-Piercing
The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
