Welcome to "Codex Chaos", a one-stop resource for background information regarding the Chaos Space Marine armies of Warhammer 40K. All documents listed herein are copyrighted Games Workshop. With the exception of spelling and grammar editing they remain in their original form, no words were changed or moved from their original print in Codex Chaos ©1996. I created this site as the old codex is out of print and the new Codex Chaos ©1999 lacks this information, which I feel is necessary for truly understanding the army as it is used in the game. | |||||||||||||||||||

Slaanesh is the youngest of the Chaos Gods and is known as the Prince of Chaos. He came into being when the Eldar fell from grace, created by the decadence that had corrupted the galaxy-spanning Eldar Empire, and which his birth destroyed. In the moment of Slaanesh's birth the Eldar became a doomed people, reduced to a tiny remnant of refugees scattered throughout space. Worse still, they knew that if not for them, the Chaos God Slaanesh, the Depraved One, the Doom of the Eldar Incarnate, would never have been born. Alone of all the Chaos Gods, Slaanesh is divinely beautiful. He is seductive as only an immortal can be, disarming in his innocence, utterly beguiling in his manner. He is a master of luxury and over-indulgence, of cruel and unnatural passions, of hidden and terribly corrupting vices, and of all the cruel temptations that only a god can offer. Slaanesh can assume male, female or hermaphrodite form at will, and it is impossible for a mortal to look upon his divine face without losing his soul and becoming a slave to his slightest whim. His followers revel in perversity and debasement and take delight in all manners of abominable and unclean deeds. They have abandoned the last vestige of true decency and sacrificed themselves to serve the Pleasure Lord in the endless pursuit of new experiences, no matter how vile or depraved these may be. | |||||||||||||||||||
