Description[ | ]
With their elevated status amongst the Lord of Excess' battle ranks, Knights of Slaanesh are set apart by their aloof persona, even by Slaaneshi standards. It is a predisposition that fuels the blind adoration of those who go to war alongside them, as well as the fear of those unfortunate enough to face them. With immensely powerful Chaos Steeds and ostentatious suits of armour, these warriors are proud of the unwholesome gifts that Slaanesh blesses them with. From their high horses, they bathe openly in the praise heaped upon them by those they regard as lesser mortals.
Attributes[ | ]
Shock Cavalry
- ▲ Armoured & Shielded: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from
Armour-Piercing damage.
Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
- ▲ Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
