Mounted Daemonettes of Slaanesh

Through clouds of musk-scented mist ride the Daemonettes of Slaanesh, their dark, desire-laden eyes always casting about for their next victim. Mounted on swift-striding Daemon Fiends of Slaanesh the sinuous grace of these predators belie their speed and deadliness.

Mounted Daemonettes of Slaanesh may be used by a Chaos Space Marine army or a Lost and the Damned army, provided that they are able to take Slaanesh Daemons.

A unit of Mounted Daemonettes takes up a Fast Attack choice on a Force Organisation chart.

Number/squad: 5-10

Weapons: Claws, lash tails and fangs (all included in profile above)

SPECIAL RULES

Summoned. Mounted Daemonettes are always summoned to the battlefield, see the Summoning rules on page 12 of Codex: Chaos Space Marines for more details.

Invulnerable. Daemons are unnatural creatures, made from the very stuff of Chaos itself and are therefore very difficult to destroy. They all have the Daemonic Aura ability and have a 5+ Invulnerable Save.

Instability. Daemons are subject to Daemonic Instability on page 12 of Codex: Chaos Space Marines. See the Instability rules for more details.

Spawn of Slaanesh. Mounted Daemonettes have Warp Scream and Daemonic Talons (extra attack included in the profile above). Also their riding beast confers Daemonic Mutation (extra attack included in the profile above) and Daemonic Speed.

Warp Scream is a piercing, disorientating shriek that reduces the Initiative of enemy in close combat by -1.

Daemonic Talons is a gift which confers a pair of close combat weapons on the Daemonette. These claws can penetrate any armour and inflict wounds on the toughest of foes.

In this case Daemonic Mutation refers to the whipping lash of a tail possessed by the riding beast which is used to inflict exquisite agonies on the Daemonette's victims.

Daemonic Speed confers the ability to move like cavalry, as detailed in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
