Slaanesh is the Chaos god of hedonism and excess, a hermaphroditic deity known by names such as The Dark Prince and She Who Thirsts. Slaanesh is the youngest of the Chaos Gods, given life at the Fall of the Eldar. His birth ripped the hole between dimensions known as the Eye of Terror. Slaanesh's primary followers come out of the Emperor's Children legion. While Slaanesh enjoys everything from sex to life itself its followers are plagued by the constant need to expand their horizons. Though they are in constant need of ecstasy, the followers of slaanesh are among the most twisted and disturbed of beings that inhabit the world of Warhammer 40k. Slaanesh weaponry includes sonic blasters that are tuned to blow apart flesh, and Blastmaster, amplified to destroy heavily armoured units. In Warhammer, the chief number of troops of slaanesh are daemonettes.They are disturbingly beautiful and seductive, but thier hands end with huge crab like pincers.They take pleasure in killing men who stand slack jawed at thier malefic beauty. Cults secretly devoted to Slaanesh can be found all over the Warhammer world, and many people inadvertantly give into the many temptations of pleasure and soon become minions of Chaos. Slaanesh enjoys causing pain through desire, so the Deamonettes are typical of these hobbies. Not surprisingly, slaanesh does not take his own defeat or loss of something he desires famously well. After one particular defeat, one particularly powerful Deamonette tried to cheer him up by dancing beatifully, but he thout that she was mocking him so cursed her to eternally dance. This deamonette now dances forever and carries a staff with happy and sad masks on either end, so she can change her appearance to suit the nature of her dances and is now called the Masque of Slaanesh.

Slaanesh is the god of indulgence and pleasure so therefore takes interest in the more diligent of human activities, such as dance, music and art.
