Slaanesh Monsters & Beasts

Soul Grinder (Slaanesh)

When a Daemon's physical body is slain, he can surrender his true name to the Forge of Souls. The dark bargain thus sealed, his crippled essence is bound to a mighty Warp-metal hulk. Thus is he reborn as a Soul Grinder. A Soul Grinder's clanking tread shakes the ground with every step, and it is devilishly fast for a creature its size, able to scuttle swift as a horse's gallop, or even faster should the scent of battle touch its nostrils. Piston-driven legs thud home with sickening force, crushing to bloody paste those beneath.

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.
• Wounds
  Even the greatest foes can be laid low with terrible injuries, and the greater the damage done, the less able they will be to effectively continue the fray.
  Speed x 90%
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 80%
  Base Weapon Damage x 80%

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.
• Causes Terror
  This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
• 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.
• Strider
  Speed and combat penalties caused by terrain are ignored by this unit.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
• Causes Terror
  This unit can [[img:ui/battle ui/ability_icons/causes_terror.png]]cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and [[img:ui/battle ui/ability_icons/causes_fear.png]]fear themselves.
• 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.
• Soporific Musk
  The attacks of this unit reduce the enemy into a stupor, lowering their ability to attack and defend themselves.
