Slaanesh

Back to Warriors of Chaos

Overview

Morality, Slavery, and Corruption

• Slavery: Exploitation of others is common, especially for pleasure or domination; hierarchy is based on indulgence and seduction.
• Non-consent sexual relationships: Normalized within the culture; coercion and manipulation are often intertwined with personal power and pleasure.
• Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Extremely high. Slaanesh worshipers are drawn to excess, making further corruption constant and reinforcing decadent behavior.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Strengths: Seductive, cunning, fast, and elegant; skilled at manipulation, temptation, and exploiting desires; excels in subtlety and intrigue.
• Weaknesses: Hedonistic excess can cloud judgment; overconfidence and obsession can be exploited; loyalty is fleeting.

Gender Roles & Sexuality

Gender Roles

• Slaanesh’s followers are highly diverse in gender, often fluid, reflecting aesthetic perfection, decadence, and temptation.
• Both male and female daemons (Daemonettes, Keepers of Secrets) are seductive, deadly, and socially dominant within Slaanesh cults.
• Hierarchy is based on ability to tempt, dominate, and embody excess rather than biological sex.

Sexuality

• Sexuality is central to Slaanesh. Erotic pleasure, seduction, and indulgence define both daemon and mortal followers.
• Same-sex and opposite-sex attraction are common; indulgence in any taboo or decadent sexual act is celebrated.
• Sex, pain, and pleasure are often inseparable, with extreme eroticism intertwined with worship and power.

Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)

• Slaanesh followers sexualize almost all other races, using allure, temptation, and manipulation:
• Humans and elves are prized for beauty and sensuality.
• Dwarfs and greenskins are fetishized in exaggerated or exoticized ways.
• Sexualized acts often involve coercion, seduction, or symbolic domination rather than mutual affection.
