Description[ | ]

Daemonettes are the most numerous of all Slaanesh's servants. They are shrouded in a hypnotic glamour, seditious magics that bestow their repulsive features with perverse beauty. None can say what unearthly delights a Daemonette is believed to pleasure the soul with, but upon the reeking field of battle, pain is the gift they bring. Daemonettes surge across the battlefield on lithe legs, the whorls of pigment from their gaudy tattoos forming dizzying fractals of colour and shape. Capering troupes of the perverse creatures dance from foe to foe, claw-hands slicing through flesh and armour to bestow a savage and sensation-filled death.

Attributes[ | ]

  • Wh3 sla daemonettes Melee Infantry
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
  • Very Fast: This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harrassing the enemy or evading its missile fire.

Strategy[ | ]

Though Slaanesh's iconic unit, regular Daemonettes are not all that great. Daemons can be troublesome because if they take too much damage the unit will simply disappear, requiring you to keep a close eye on them. Daemonettes are some of the worst offenders because despite being fairly expensive they have virtually no natural resilience, and have a nasty tendency to disintegrate faster than you can say 'safe word'. The best way of using them is to move your Marauders and/or Warriors up first, and then once the enemy is pinned down use their speed to bring them in from the side, making the best use of their Devastating Flanker passive. However Slaanesh has a lot of units that act in pretty much the same way and are much faster - even in the early game you're likely to see better results by simply relying on the human units, particularly if you've got the Champions of Chaos DLC.
