A modification of Slaanesh's Steed-pulled Seeker Chariot concept.
Also called "Scented Harvesters", "Decadent Reavers", and "Shred-chain Sisters".
Fluff
Slaanesh takes a great deal of pride in his realm within the Warp, as he does everything else. Unfortunately his "brothers" are always fucking up his lawn. Crystals, feathers, and traps (the bad kind) left all over the fluffer farm. Blood and guts plus some guy's lost skulls left strewn all over the walkway. Even his fellow gardener can't seem to keep slime and insects from getting into the Purple Prince's PCPetunias. So what's a supreme ruler of creation to do? Wank some gardeners into existence of course!
Hellflayers were a design similar to Slaanesh's existing cavalry forces of chariots, but with an extra large thresher in the back for grinding to pieces anything left after a battle so Slaanesh's carnivorous plants could consume it and leave his gardens like Willie Wonka's acid trip again. The Daemonettes selected to conduct this task were invariably the ones who had gotten on Slaanesh's bad side (although not to an extreme degree) as without any souls to consume or emotions/physical feelings to feed on and with only drudgery to do, the task itself is a deadly proposition as a bored and unhappy Daemonette can begin to fade from existence.
Eventually two Daemonettes that was sentenced to the task decided to subvert their creator's orders, and took their gigantic tool (not THAT kind) for a joy ride DURING a battle rather than after it ended, slicing Nurgle's Daemons to giblets. They drove through the ranks of the invaders and the punished pair were splattered with gore as they experienced an orgasmic height of joy no Daemonette had ever before felt as the pain and fear felt by the foes of Slaanesh passed through the metal as the ultimate drug effect which strengthened them until they were moving so fast that light could no longer reflect off them, rendering them invisible.
Slaanesh is a highly emotional Chaos God, prone to extreme mood swings with a wrath as vicious as Khorne and a gaiety and affection (no pun intended) that rivals Nurgle. His pleasure at the effects made Hellflayers no longer a punishment, but the ultimate reward. His terrible anger had him transform the two Daemonettes into unfeeling marble statues at the start of the walkway to his palace with their backs turned permanently away from Slaanesh's glory.
On The Tabletop
Warhammer Fantasy
A more expensive Seeker Chariot with the ability to increase the number of Attacks the leader of the two crew gets as it deals more Impact Hits. A superior hammer, but a bigger points sink and as a result more likely to be cannon-bait. Not really better or worse enough to recommend above them, just be aware that you're putting another egg into the same basket.
Warhammer 40000
A chariot that deals D6 S4 Hammer of Wraith hits with Rending for each hull point it has left. It has two hull points and can't be taken in squads. It costs 60 points. Basically it has the same weakness of taking a single Land Speeder, in that it's just begging to get shot off the table
Age of Sigmar
The 9th Age
Same case as Warhammer Fantasy, although it got a nice and juicy buff to its offensive power. While something to consider in a monotheist Slaaneshi army, a mixed-Chaos God army will still have these as a decent option whereas Seekers and Seeker Chariots tend to be secondary choices.
