Daemonettes are lesser daemons of Slaanesh, the most numerous of the Dark Prince's subjects. [4a]
Contents
Appearance
They share the androgynous or hermaphroditic depiction of Slaanesh and are known for their speed and for their sharp claws. They own a perverse beauty, unnatural and disturbing, but at the same time, undeniably potent. They have large, green eyes which glow with a malevolent inner light. Their hair and skin are naturally white but both their hair and bodies are frequently dyed various colours. [1][4a]
Court of Slaanesh
Unlike the other gods of Chaos, Slaanesh surrounds iself with a full court of powerful daemonette emissaries and handmaidens. These heralds of their god attend to their masters varied desires and whims but also manifest in the mortal world returning with morsels of intrigue to Slaanesh. However even they must take care because the Dark Prince is tempesteous and capricous. [4a]
Daemonettes also stalk mortal battlefields, seeking the dead pledged to Slaanesh or those who lived a life of excess. They may then bring them to the palace of the Dark Prince in the Realm of Chaos where the faithful are rewardded with new immortal life in a paradise unbound by mortal strictures. For those who foreswore their dark lord however, eternal torment awaits. [4a]

Quotes
Come to me. Come to me! You know it is what you have always desired. All your life till now has been a desperate dream of me.....awaken! Awaken, and come to me, for your reward awaits in my arms....
~ Leshtrigell, Daemonette.[1] |
Notes
Description Changes
Whether or not both arms of a daemonette end in claws varies from depiction to depiction, as does whether daemonettes have one breast or two. In addition, in Slaves to Darkness, daemonettes are described as possessing a perverse and unnatural beauty which caused loathing instead of admiration. [1] Hordes of Chaos and Daemons of Chaos describe daemonettes as possessing an aura which disguises their true nature and causes them to appear beautiful and beguiling.[2][3a]
