Book of Slaanesh v8.1
Book of Slaanesh v8.1
Mark of Slaanesh
This works differently than in Codex: Chaos Space Marines. It has replaced standard “icons” on particularly units and every model counts as
having the mark, simply as Noise Marines squad. This confers +1I (included in all profiles) and Fearless Universal Special Rule, if the unit may
have any of these.
Summoning
Keeper of Secrets follows the summoning rule for Greater Daemon and Daemonettes of Slaanesh follows summoning rules for Lesser
Daemons, listed in Codex: Chaos Space Marines.
DOOM RIDER
Special rules:
Mark of Slaanesh
Daemon
As he was resurrected by the Dark Prince do Daemonhood the Doom Rider follows this rule as in Codex: Chaos Daemons, except th e Daemonic
Assault. Instead of, he must be summoned following rules for Lesser Daemons from Codex: Chaos Space Marines.
Wheels of Fire
Doom Rider’s bike acts as equipped with a jump pack, it has an ability to “leap” over any obstacles.
He Comes, He Goes
Doom Rider has a reputation for suddenly appearing from nowhere and so vanishing like a fog. To represent this he cannot join any unit and
in addition after each turn the Doom Rider is on the table roll a D6, on a roll of 1 he immediately goes back to Reserves and must be
summoned once more. If the Doom Rider looses all his wounds he disappears, returning to the Warp for good, and cannot be summoned
again.
Wargear:
Chaos Space Marines Bike fitted with twin-linked melta gun, plasma gun, bolt pistol, power weapon, aura of acquiescence.
Armoury of Slaanesh
Blissgiver*
Takes a form of a scimitar filled with essence of a daemonic being. This twisted blade dances in the wielders hand swiftly running from one foe
to another, lightly cutting through hardest armours and striking down the strongest creatures with only one hit. T o represent this the Blissgiver
is a power weapon adding D6 to all the wielders Attacks and for each unsaved wound causing Instant Death regardless of the targets
toughness.
Special Rule:
Daemon weapon: If a 1 is rolled on a D6 when rolling for additional attacks, the daemon bounded inside the weapon rebels and causes an
automatic wound on the wielder with no armour save allowed.
Combat Drugs
Slaanesh champions have access to a wide variety of combat drugs, each produced of renderings of sentient creatures. They may be taken at the
beginning of any assault phase. If so, the Slaaneshi player can chose up to three abilities from the list below. Take a D6 for each power chosen and
make a roll. If one drug was taken, then on a roll of 1 the model suffers a wound that cannot be saved in any way, but the powers still works. If
two are chosen, then in addition on a roll of a double the model suffers such wound. If there are three drugs and a triple is rolled, the model is
automatically removed as casualty. The wounds are not cumulative if a 1 and a double are rolled at the same time. Drugs have effects only on
their user, not squad he has joined.
Daemonic reflex (the model can reroll one failed test that turn including saves of any kind but not Feel no Pain and also Leadership tests)
Feel no Pain
Furious Charge
Hit and Run
Counter Attack
Rending
Daemonic Gifts
Great warriors of the Dark Prince are often blessed by their patron with strange and horrible gifts brought to them from the depths of the Warp
and Daemonhood. These give unnatural powers and among other cultists are symbols of might . Here is the list of gifts that Slaanesh offers to his
most favored.
Additional arm (confers +1A)
Daemonic Visage (The creature is so beautiful (or horrible) that the enemy is confused even by its appearance, enemy models in combat with
blessed with this gift gets -1Ld for duration of combat)
Tentacles (Mutated arms or additional limbs that writhes and shackles nearby foes, enemy models in base contact gest -1A for duration
of the combat).
Minor psychic powers
These are low level psychic forces that may be invoked by sorcerers during the battle in addition to other greater powers they have been
given by their patron. Roll a D6 on Slaanesh Minor psychic powers table at the beginning of each Slaanesh turn to determine which power
the psyker has been given. Duplicated rolls are rerolled, but not rolls of 1.
1. No usable power
Effect: The psyker’s patron pays no head to his prayers. The roll is wasted.
2. Fuelled by pain
Phase: Either Assault Psychic Test? No Range: Self
Effect: For every close combat attack made against psyker for which he will make a successful Armour save, he can make an
additional attack after all attacks (including power fists) are resolwed but before determining combat results. The psyker may fight
as normal in the phase this power is used.
3. Siren
Phase: Enemy Shooting or Assault Psychic Test? Yes Range: Self
Effect: This power cannot be used if the psyker has joined a unit or is a part of a unit. The psyker may not bet targeted by targeted
by shooting attack or assaulted this game turn. This power cannot be attempted if the psyker is already in base contact with
enemy model.
4. Beam of Slaanesh
Phase: Enemy Shooting Psychic Test? Yes Range: 18”
Effect: The targeted model or unit must take a Leadership test or counts as having moved for the purposes of firing their weaons.
5. Touch of Slaanesh
Phase: Own Assault Psychic Test? Yes Range: Base contact

phase. The psyker may fight as normal in the phase this power is used.

Phase: Own Assault Psychic Test? Yes Range: Base contact
Effect: If the psyker kills one or more enemy models in his own Assault phase the unit or units they belong to will be at -1
Leadership if they lose the close combat and have to take Morale check.
Needle of Desire*
Most known as a slender blade, almost a needle, attached to the wielders arm, the Needle of Desire strikes enemies with the same drug specifics
that are used by all Noise Marines and only they can stand its effects. Weapons venom will bring a senses shock, driving the wounded enemy
from delirium to despair from which his mind may even never recover. To represent this, Needle of Desire is a poison weapon, always wounding
on 2+, armour saves allowed, furthermore the wounded enemy must immediately take a leadership test. If the test is failed, D3 more wounds are
caused with no armour saves allowed (they are caused by the poison coursing in veins!).
Rapturous Standard
The banner jingles with distant sounds of chimes and carries a scent of forbidden pleasure, deep from the warp. As well as it focuses daemonic
energy, helping it enter the material realm, once per game (either in the enemy’s or Chaos player’s turn) a special power can be invoked. The
standard starts to emitting a cacophonic siren melody that drives all Noise Marines nearby in an ecstatic coma, turning all sensations deeply
pleasing. All models then in 6” from the banner gains the Feel no Pain special rule for duration of that turn.
Steed of Slaanesh
Most favored champions of Slaanesh are riding swift as the wind daemoinc steeds which carries them in to heart of the battle to let their enemies
know the pleasure giving by the Prince of Chaos. Steed of Slaanesh confers the riders +1 Attacks and changes unit type into Cavalry.
Warp Scream
Unit with this ability count as equipped with frag grenades.
Vehicles upgrades
