The Essengast

Of all the misconceptions common among those trusted with knowledge of the Great Enemy, the idea that the Prince of Pleasure is limited to sexual deviance is one that must be dispelled It is the master of pleasure and excess in all forms. There are numerous examples of other senses, feelings, and emotions being weaponized. Most prominent among them may be the Noise Marines of the Emperor's Children, twisted heretical Astartes who blast the holy warriors of the Emperor with sonic cannons.

Lesser known, the corpse-eating court of Malcarum, the Essengast. They began as a hunting lodge of affluent nobles, searching the wilderness of the pleasure world for rare game creatures and bragging around great fires as servants prepared a banquet following each hunt.

Eventually, war came to the system. Malcarum was forced to industrialize quickly. Great hive cities rose, poisoning the water, polluting the atmosphere, and collapsing the ecosystem.

But the hunts continued.

First, it was the megafauna of the underhives, sump-kroks, and spiders the size of tanks. Then, the mutants, the parodies of humanity that fled down-hive rather than accept judgment. Eventually, the lower hives became the hunting ground. They began to hunt the people of Malcarum.

Somewhere along the line, the banquets stopped being enough for them. They would eat until they were forced to purge, then eat some more. Then, the purging slowly vanished. Now, they never had quite enough. They would still be hungry when the embers smoldered in the pits. The hunger continued, compounding until they felt on the brink of starvation, nothing able to satisfy their excessive appetites. They began to kill indiscriminately, consuming the flesh of their victims without pause. Reports indicate they stopped intentionally killing altogether, preferring to track their prey and devour them alive wherever they fell.

The Sisters of the Vermillion Flame are said to have led the cleansing of Malcarum. By then, the nobles had devolved into mobs of twisted ghouls, their pale, corpse-like flesh stretched taut over their emaciated frames, their bones growing disproportionate to their bodies, spines erupting through the skin.

Their apparent extinction has not stopped the reports of small, bestial humanoids attacking people across the sector, though no substantial proof has ever been offered up.

____________________________________________

I wrote this as a bit of justification to incorporate a handful of Flesheater Courts models into my fledgling Slaanesh Daemon army. I wanted to go for a bit of a cryptid feel, but I think I lost the plot a bit and missed the mark on that one.

If you like this story and want to create them yourself, great news! They're really simple. Just take Flesheater Court Ghouls, raise them slightly off the base (for height, they're slightly shorter than daemonettes), and paint them as if they were Slaanesh Daemons. If you're feeling really fancy, mix up a little green stuff, stand them up straight(ish), and sculpt in a distended stomach as if they've been eating recently and haven't digested anything yet. I'm trying to use Wrack weapons to add blades to the bones they carry and potentially some Kroot character dressing (they carry slabs of meat and knives carved from bone) to flesh them out a bit, pun intended.

His mane stands up, their metallic tips flaring with infernal light. The Reaper is irritated, and that's nothing unusual, but the reason.

The Tempter.

He's irritated the Tempter isn't around.

The Chamonite Throng stood upon their grand altar, the eye of the coming storm. Hundreds of Chaos warriors amongst thousands of marauders clad in armour and curse-etched flesh. This warband of unnatural discipline whipped by the commanding scourges of their Chosen. The barks of their foul tongues and the glittering beauty of daemonic war-maidens within the center and front, swinging thuribles of mind-writhing incense from their great clothes.

The mockery of warrior-maidens singing from their veils and morbid helms. Their paramour of lords enthralled by their charge bestowed by the Greater Daemon patron whose chamonite banner they flew. The City stared out in rapturous awe and infectious terror, never had it seen the forces of Chaos so...organized and single-minded. The picture of military excellence to the point of cruelly rivalling the aelfish lords of Hysh and their own obsession.

The hatred and envy stirred by the peoples of the Twins were palpable and most of all delicious. They knew the banner flew, hatefully remembered since the Age of Chaos when his vile horde first emerged from the blackest depths of Slaanesh's gestating realm.

One of Brotherhood Three. The Gilded Brother, a creature of terror and mocking hate, and his Daughters of Gold. A warrior-throng led this siege and they desired to pay tribute.
