This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you.
Version 2 Daemonettes, back when they were still recognizably feminine.

Alluring hermaphrodite Daemons in servitude to Slaanesh in the Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k universes. Originally Daemonettes were Elves and Eldar that Slaanesh took the souls of after their death and converted into Daemons, however this was mostly retconned in 40k Grimederp into Slaanesh consuming their souls because he's an addict with no willpower, then crapping out Daemonettes in an unrelated way due to increased power. In Fantasy they're still implied to be Elves. The most famous of them is a raver know as The Masque what is all the time dancing, even while she is making babies. There is a urban legend what says their invulnerability really comes from the size of their tits and not from their daemonic nature, mostly because they deflect any possible projectile, even the weaboo's arsenal, aimed at their torso. Cause of much fapping amongst fa/tg/uys.

Most Daemonettes have razor-sharp crab-like claws, and slashing and stabbing things with them causes them unholy ecstasy. Because the fastest way for them to experience this is combat, they are, paradoxically, a very effective combat unit.

See also: the far more amicable Loli Daemonette, and the seemingly reasonable Nerdmonette.

According to /d/ most are dickgirls. We are not liable for any major psychological or physical damage (or arousal) this revelation may have caused you. Continue.

Daemonette Mutations

Daemonettes have had a lot of different varieties across multiple production runs. The first Daemonettes had crab-like claws and feathery "glam metal" hairstyles, because they were unveiled in the 80s when Sonic Blasters were actual guitars. They looked perfectly ridiculous, but that's fine - everything did in those days, and that was perfectly acceptable because it was fucking awesome. They also had mono-boobs and frankly rather fugly faces, since in the fluff they were described as being ghastly androgynes yet somehow sexy despite it all and, really, Games Workshop's always had problems with making sexy looking models.

Later updates gave the Daemonettes an impressive facelift (as well as six boobs) and saw the beginnings of us seeing PROMOTIONS for Daemonettes as well. Slaanesh was given a comprehensive backstory, and the Daemonettes were updated accordingly. Because Slaanesh had been born of the Eldar (and Fantasy had been shoved recently into the backseat so the spacemen could ride shotgun), the Daemonettes incorporated more elven features, having lithe, graceful bodies, long ears, and a much more feminine shape. This was also when the Daemonettes traded their chubby crab claws for scythe-like ones, lost having one breast in favor of having two, four or six tits, and where they actually had interesting fluff applied to them in the WHFB universe - a perfect melding of grace and lethality; Slaanesh made them so that they basically orgasm if they successfully impale someone with their talons, which made them exceptionally effective close-combat units. When you think of Daemonettes, most of /tg/ thinks of these ones: at once beautiful and hideous, giving you the weirdest boner before chopping you to squishy bits.

They were updated again for the next edition; this was predominantly a model update, since the new Daemonettes were plastic as opposed to the metal ones of old. These are the infamous "Monoboob" models that became the rage at about the time that a certain fluff-raping faggot that makes Goto look competent reverted back to their old fluff so they were all simultaneously feminine and not-feminine, and played up their hideousness to 11. By and large the new Daemonette Models, whilst they looked fairly cool in their own right, weren't as well-received by the community - because you simply don't get between a fa/tg/uy and his monstergirl porn without risking the loss of several limbs.

There are several theories as to what was behind this.

  • The most popular is that Games Workshop thought that the original models were too racy for younger players (since, daemonic features aside, they looked like topless women wearing nothing but loincloths). This begs the question: "If you're not going to handle that sort of content in a universe full of grimdark, where depictions of rampant bloodshed, murder, human sacrifice and even cannibalism are rampant in both the core rulebook and every dicking codex then why the fuck are you in charge?" A reflection of society's skewed standards on censorship where gratuitous violence gets a past but open depictions of sexuality draw the ire of media watchdogs/moral guardians everywhere.
  • Another plausible theory is that they were trying to tap into grognard loyalty by reverting back to the older design as they had done with the Bloodletters and Plaguebearers, failing to realize that the new daemonettes had been a case of a change being well-received as for the better by the main fanbase, since "blade-limbed multi-boobed pseudo-succubus" worked much better for the setting's resident sex-daemons than "freaky looking crab-clawed one-tittied androgyne who somehow magically fucks with your brain so you'd tap that despite it not looking like either a man or a woman".
  • A third theory is that they're supposed to be used in both 40k and Fantasy and since Slaanesh wasn't born from Elves in Fantasy they were redesigned with less elf-ness, though his theory falls apart when you look at it closer. Though not Slaanesh's progenitor in WFHB, the setting is nonetheless replete with elven special characters devoted to Slaanesh (see Morathi and Dechala), so them having elvish ears occasionally wasn't exactly a big deal. The new models are almost unilaterally considered worse than the ones that preceded them.

Some have even put forward a fouth theory; Matt Ward's alteration of Daemon Fluff in general is responsible for the changes. Further analysis by experts reveals that it's unlikely to have been Ward's conscious choice and far more likely, to be the imbecilic hands at Gee Dubs, obsessed with trying to lure in new sales for younger players (which also supports the first theory about toning down sexual themes).

The higher rank of Daemonettes are Keepers of Secrets. Daemonettes that impress Slaanesh are awarded special mounts called Steeds of Slaanesh. Even more impessive Daemonettes are awarded the right to crew a Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh. At one point, Hellflayers of Slaanesh were a punishment to be forced to drive as giant moving woodchippers slicing up Unclean One and Bloodletter bodies into a paste that Slaanesh's man-eating flowers could nom, but after a few rowdy Daemonettes (this is seriously the lore) took one onto a battlefield they've been the greatest privilege ever since.
