Detachment Rule
Beguiling Aura
The daemons of the Dark Prince can bewitch the minds of their foes, appearing in one moment as their true and nightmarish selves and in the next as the object of their foes’ most forbidden desires or devoted affections. Enemies are left foundering and bewildered as the daemons weave their sinuous dances around them and trill their nerve-shredding siren songs.
Legiones Daemonica Slaanesh units from your army are eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which they Fell Back.
