About Slaanesh names
Slaanesh is one of the four great Chaos gods of Games Workshop's Warhammer settings, present in both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. Often called the Dark Prince, Slaanesh is the god of excess in every form: obsession, the chase after perfection, pride, and sensation pushed past any limit. The followers tend to be artists, duelists and aristocrats who could never be satisfied, and their names sound the part.
This list splits three ways. Daemon names are sibilant and broken by apostrophes, in the mold of Keepers of Secrets, Heralds and Daemonettes: Vhyx'ala, Herald Syx'ilar, Azyl'eth the Flaw-Seeker. Mortal champions, written with the Hedonites of Age of Sigmar in mind, carry courtly names and boastful epithets, such as Aurelian Vantreux the Flawless or Sidonie the Peacock. The last third is for the Emperor's Children, the Third Legion of Warhammer 40,000, and their Noise Marines: Greco-Roman names with ranks and sonic bynames, like Lord Commander Kallistos Vane and Noise Marine Olympos Dirgecaller.
A few well-known figures such as Fulgrim, Lucius the Eternal and Sigvald the Magnificent are included as reference points. Everything else is invented in the style of the setting, for your own army, warband or roleplaying character. Six is Slaanesh's sacred number, which is why it turns up in several titles.
How to choose Slaanesh names
- Let the epithet do the bragging. Slaanesh's champions name themselves for what they believe they have perfected, so pick the flaw first (vanity, envy, restlessness, a need for applause) and then a byname that shows it: the Self-Crowned, the Much-Envied, the Never Content.
- Say a daemon name aloud. The hiss of s, sh, x and z is the point. If the apostrophe in Zes'mirah makes you stumble, write Zesmirah; both look right on a roster.
- For Emperor's Children, pair a classical given name with a rank. Lord Exultant, Lord Kakophonist, Flawless Blade and Noise Marine tell other players what the model is, and a sonic byname such as the Last Note or Doomsiren suits anything that carries a sonic weapon.
- Use six where you can. Six is Slaanesh's number, so a champion of six duels, a daemon of the Sixth Host or a unit with six named models is an easy nod to the background.
- Keep rivals in mind. Followers of Slaanesh compete with each other as much as with their enemies, so a pair of names that sounds like a feud, such as Champion Eteokles the Paragon and Champion Polyneikes the Rival, gives a warband a story before the first game.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of names do followers of Slaanesh have?
It depends on who they are. Daemons have hissing, apostrophe-broken names such as Lyth'essa and Keeper of Secrets Khyl'aira, mortal champions use courtly names with proud epithets such as Lady Cosima Bellefleur or Emeric the Virtuoso, and the Emperor's Children lean Greco-Roman, such as Demetrius Pellion. The list holds roughly a third of each.
Are these the names of real Warhammer characters?
Only a handful are. Famous figures such as Fulgrim, Eidolon, N'Kari and Glutos Orscollion are included so you can hear the style. The rest are invented for this list in the manner of the setting, and none is presented as a name from Games Workshop's books. Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar are Games Workshop's settings and are named here only to say what the names are for.
Can I use these for Emperor's Children and Noise Marines?
Yes, about a third of the list is written for them. You will find plain legionary names such as Lysimachus Vaelor, ranked names such as Palatine Blade Kyros Melanthe and sonic bynames such as Kakophoni Linos Doomsiren. For the other traitor legions, the Chaos Space Marine list covers a wider range.
How is this different from the Chaos Space Marine and Chaos warband generators?
Those pages cover every legion and every god, and the warband page names groups rather than people. This one is characters only and stays with Slaanesh: daemons, mortal devotees and the Third Legion, with the pride and perfectionism that set them apart from followers of Khorne, Nurgle or Tzeentch.
