Beguiling Aura

LEGIONES DAEMONICA SLAANESH units from your army are eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which they Fell Back. 

Full wording ▾

The daemons of the Dark Prince can bewitch the minds of their foes, appearing in one moment as their true and nightmarish selves and in the next as the object of their foes’ most forbidden desires or devoted affections. Enemies are left foundering and bewildered as the daemons weave their sinuous dances around them and trill their nerve‑shredding siren songs.

Seductive Gambit

LEGIONES DAEMONICA SLAANESH units from your army have the following ability:

Seductive Gambit: Each time this unit ends a Charge move, you can declare it will perform a Seductive Gambit. If you do, until the end of the turn, this unit does not have the Fights First ability, but instead, each time a model in this unit makes an attack, you can re‐roll the Hit roll and you can re‐roll a Wound roll of 1.

Full wording ▾

Temptation is a deadly weapon in the arsenal of the daemons of Slaanesh. To tease warriors’ pride with visions of martial glory or to lure the deluded and desperate into a bladed embrace, they delight in dangling themselves like bait or feigning helpless weakness, then striking with savage release at their overextended foes.

Command

Sensory Excruciation

Strategic PloyYour Command phase.

Each unit on the battlefield that is within your army’s Shadow of Chaos must take a Battle‑shock test, subtracting 1 from that test if they are Below Half‑strength.

Designer’s Note: *This Stratagem forces all friendly and enemy units alike within your army’s Shadow of Chaos to take a Battle‑shock test. This can allow a Chaos Daemons player to heal units from their army through the Daemonic Terror army rule, at the risk of causing some of their own units to become Battle‑shocked.*
