Description

Slaanesh Champions are powerful fighters and war leaders of Cults of Excess. Found throughout regions where their martial skills can be tested in the extreme, they either attack indiscriminately to test their skills or hire themselves & warbands out for money. They are always at the forefront of battle making short work of slower moving targets, and when not fighting they give into the most hedonistic lusts they can dream off.   Usually clad in baroque forms of platemail, blessed by their patron deity, made of exquisitely crafted materials & weighing less than most other forms of armour, they are usually bonded to it. So much so, their nervous system & flesh is bonded to it, allowing sensations to be felt directly through it. Similarly, many bond the same way to their weapons allowing every stroke, thrust, or parry to be felt in gleeful agony or ecstasy. Most are mutated in some way due to the altering effects generated by having contact with a deity & the Neverborn of the Warp. Sometimes they are given direct boons such as demonic weapons, or innate spellcasting. They are used to handling rapiers, longswords and / or greatswords, and the more ostentatious the better.

Only in servitude to the Dark Prince and his servants have I been shown the extremes of delight
