Hedonites of Slaanesh are the vast armies of hedonists that follow or once followed Slaanesh
History
Age of Myth
Slaanesh is imprisoned in the sub-realm Uhl-Gysh by the machinations of the aleven gods and Morathi.
All followers and daemons of Slaanesh feel a sense of loss in response. This malaise results in Slaanesh's worshippers dividing into three major factions; the Godseekers racing across the realms to find and free their missing god/dess, the Pretenders seeking to take Slaanesh's place as the Chaos God of excess and the Invaders who just want to revel in destruction.
Age of Chaos
Slaanesh's daemons subtly manipulate the Lumineth with insidious whispers, such as telling one how much taller their rival's tower is or how much prettier their newest artwork is, until the tensions erupt into the civil war known as Spirefall.
Age of Sigmar
The Slaaneshi Chaos Lord Lascallion uses his supernatural senses to trace the hedonism of the Mortarch of Blood, Neferata. He develops a fixation on the Mortarch, and is able to pierce the illusions she used to hide Nulahmia, seeking to claim her as his consort. His first assault is repelled by her armies, the second by the intervention of the Stormcast Eternals and the third sees him fall literally into an uncertain fate (a pit of skeletons with no confirmation that he died).
Malign Portents
The weakening of Slaanesh's prisons allows Godseeker hosts to determine that Slaanesh is close to Ulgu. As a result, they invade the realm and come into renewed conflict with the Daughters of Khaine.
Soul Wars
Broken Realms
A host of Godseekers travelled to Hagg Nar following a prophecy about Slaanesh. They arrived in time to see a fraction of Slaanesh's essence erupt from the city and fly across the horizon.
They followed it to a crater where it coalesced into a form so beautiful and terrible several of the Hedonites died. Across the realms, followers of Slaanesh have found themselves surging with power.
