Shadow Legion Cavalry & Chariots

Hellstriders of Slaanesh (Hellscourges)

Hellstriders are devotees of torment who hunt from the back of impossibly swift Daemonic steeds. They fight to inflict pain and despair, landing mortal blows upon their victims where they are most likely to prolong the agonising moment of death. Some Hellstriders fight with blades that long ago mutated into their own flesh, whilst others carry a mass of writhing lashes that move with an intelligence of their own. These barbed whips strike out with incredible speed, splitting skin, ripping out throats and flensing flesh in the blink of an eye.
