So we know that WB is particularly at odds with the Emperor's children(Worshipper Of Slaanesh)

Would they have the same kind of hatred towards the daemons of slaanesh?

Or its all together a different thing?

Thoughts?

1) WB generally don't like EC and Slaanesh worshipers because they:
a) don't like chaos "monotheists" as a week ones who could not hold the faith for the all four gods.
b) don't like their savagey and the lack of discipline

They occasionally could work together, fight each other, or just ignore them dependent of circumstances.

Mind you they have the same relantionships with WE, but not the DG and TS who they see as more "civilized" albeit still blind to the glory of the Chaos Undivided

As for the daemons, WB would gladly work with them but never would swore their allegiance to one god. Even while slaaneshi deamons chare the same traits as the Slaaneshi marines they are considered to be Gods' messengers and couldn't be judjed like mortals.

Thanks! this is helpful.

I reckoned that they would work with TS based on the past relationship of Ahriman and Erebus?

This is the second time I have seen this relationship with the Emperors Children mentioned, where is the source of this as I have not seen this before.

As far as I am aware there is no reason why they would not fight along side the EC, but as with any mono god aligned Legion they would have a strained relationship.

The daemons of Slaanesh would be treated as any other servant of the Chaos Gods. They are still embodiments of the will of Slaanesh and belong to the pantheon.

Dark Apostle trilogy is a great source of WB fluff.

And about WB-EC fights I could imagine it should be more about EC than WB - slaaneshi marines are known as the most crazed and "random" and could start such a fight with their supposed-to-be-allies for no other reason but entertainment.

I'm not sure where it's stated that WBs specifically dislike Emperors' Children. However, as a whole, I'm under the impression that EVERYONE doesn't like Slaaneshi marines, including other Slaaneshi marines in most cases. They went off on their own selfish thing during the siege of Terra, they're the ones that initiated those huge slave wars,afterwards, etc. Even as of the Black Crusade RPG, it's mentioned that they're quite hazardous to work with. Slaanesh is the god of excess, depravity, and selfishness, after all.

A bit ironic because Slaanesh him/herself is the most prone to join the other gods in on doing something, as long as s/he can have a good time. Then again, it's possible/probable the other gods don't like dealing with him/her, either.

Also a bit ironic considering that slaaneshi followers are also supposed to be the most charming. However, this aspect is mostly ignored when it comes to Slaaneshi marines (or at least, most of the marines we've seen) as far as I can tell, which is probably another reason why no one likes them. They're like... all the bad aspects of Slaanesh and none of the good.

Has an excellent example of Slaanesh lending Marduk some Daemonettes to kill some Dark Eldar if I recall.

If you are talking about the part where they went deep into the ocean floor to find the magi. He summoned bloodletters. Not daemonettes.

Nope, I am referring to the part where Daemonettes were summoned

My apologies. I am half way through the book. Lol.

One place that the dissonance between the WB and EC appears is in the new CSM:Black Legion supplement.

Aye, towards the end of the second book, Marduk indeed summons a horde of daemonettes, although he admits that it is the first time in thousands of years that he felt the power of Slaanesh.
