The Cult of Slaanesh
This mod aims to recreate the Cult of Pleasure as it existed in Warhammer Fantasy’s Storm of Chaos: a Dark Elf faction fully devoted to Slaanesh — stripped of Khaine and reshaped by excess.
These changes apply to the Cult of Pleasure, Cult of Excess and S’sildra Tor factions.
• Lore of Slaanesh
Supreme Sorceresses and Sorceresses gain access to the Lore of Slaanesh
• Cult Heroes
The Khainite Assassin is replaced by the Druchii Anointed hero
The Death Hag is replaced by the Cultist of Slaanesh hero
• Slaanesh Daemons
All Slaanesh Daemon units are added to Morathi’s roster (except Soulgrinder and Chariots)
• Removal of Khaine Units
Harpies, Manticores, Witch Elves, Black Guard and Har Ganeth Executioners are removed
• Regiments of Renown
Khaine-aligned Regiments of Renown are replaced with more fitting alternatives
• Mark of Slaanesh
All mortal Dark Elf units gain the Mark of Slaanesh and receive a small cost increase
(except Beast units)
• Cult Infrastructure
The Black Ark worship building is replaced with a Cult of Pleasure building, allowing recruitment of Slaanesh units
• Skills & Resistance
The Ward of Khaine skill is replaced with the Slaanesh-equivalent missile resistance skill for all Lords and Heroes
• Mount Changes
All Manticore mounts are removed.
The Beastmaster instead gains access to a Preyton mount
• Ancillaries
Slaanesh ancillaries are available to all Lords and Heroes
• Starting Army
Morathi begins with a Druchii Anointed hero and Devotees of Slaanesh instead of a Khainite Assassin and Witch Elves
The goal of this mod is to recreate the Cult of Pleasure as it appeared in Storm of Chaos,
while adapting the army list to function as a coherent Dark Elves faction in Total War.
This means:
• all Khaine-aligned units and heroes are removed
• Manticore mounts are removed
• the roster avoids heavy reliance on mortal Chaos units
While the original army list included Slaanesh-marked Warriors and Marauders,
these units were deliberately omitted to preserve the identity of the Cult of Pleasure
as a Dark Elves faction influenced by Slaanesh — not a hybrid Chaos roster.
This mod has built-in compatibility with:
• Marth’s Variant Selector
• DrunkFlamingo’s Tabletop Caps (TTC)
• Spartan’s Building Progression Icons
• Victory Conditions Overhaul
• Alshua’s Cultist mods
• Better Starting Army
Both this mod and Alshua’s mods add very similar Cultist of Slaanesh heroes.
To avoid duplicates, only this mod’s version will be available for Morathi.
If you prefer Alshua’s version for Morathi, use one of the optional submods below.
For SFO or other overhauls, a submod is required.
This mod is balanced for vanilla only.
