I have heard people make jokes about slannesh in comments, but I have no clue what it is. All I know is it is a chaos god. Any help on this would be great. And please be nice. I recently started playing, and my parents dont let me go to the store much.

Well, Slaanesh is known as the Dark Prince, as he is the youngest Chaos God. He appears to be the god of Extravagance, Excess, Greed, Bliss, having too much sex, and a whole bunch of other titles. He likes to eat Eldar, which is why they have the Soulstones, to save their souls from being eaten by Slaanesh. All Eldar refer to him as "She who Thirsts." Slaanesh can become any gender; male, female, hermaphrodite, any of them, which is why you can refer to Slaanesh through him, her, or it. So for example, he can look like a dude with boobies, or a chick with a d*ck (found that one amusing, I'm so immature ). He also smashed Khaine, the Eldar war god, into a million pieces. Literally. This is how the Avatars of Khaine came into being.

The 'ouse Guru 'e up an' sez "The Guard is weak and lame!"
The Chaos gits around the shelves they laughed and snickered in my face,
I outs into the street again an' grabbed my figure-case."
Oh it's "Angels this" an' "Space-wolves that", and "Guardsmen, go away!";
But it's "Thank you for the ordnance" when the Guard begins to play,
O it's "LOOK AT ALL THE ORDNANCE!" when the Guard begins to play.."

Seriously, though, this is what Slaanesh is.

The least badass of the Chaos Gods with ugly ass daemons. You'd think a god of temptation and pleasure would have relatively good looking servants...appearantly not.

Yeah I hate the daemonettes, although I must admit that the Emperor's Children are pretty sweet.

Why hate Daemonettes? I think they rule XD

Granted, the newer ones a little scarier than the older ones, but they're still attractive. remember 'haunting, unnatural beauty'... that can mean attractive and scary at the same time XD

go slaanesh

would slannesh be the weakest chaos god in theory, cause I know in the fluff he got his ass kicked by khorne (daemon codex) but how does he compare to the others?

Why seduce your enemy when you could obliterate them with magic (Tzeentch)? Why seduce them when you could send a destroyer plague against them (Nurgle)? Why seduce them when you could drive a big, gnarly chainaxe through their skull (Khorne)?

Just think about it dude.

It's like Revenge of the Sith (don't kill me for referring to star wars). Seduction can turn an enemy into a friend, while plague, exploding and decapitation only result in a corpse.

One means the Mechanicum truly loses their gak, and the other means the Eldar realize that Vaul is really a toaster and experience religion fail.
