== Description ==
A warrior who is visited by too many gifts of Slaanesh eventually succumbs to madness and mutation. His altered body reaches a point where reason no longer sustains it, and he wails in anguish as his flesh ripples, sprouts and writhes, undergoing the most profound and final of changes. Truly, Chaos Spawn have a thousand faces and forms.
== Attributes ==
== Strategy ==
Slaanesh struggles a bit for anvil units, particularly without the Champions of Chaos DLC, and that's potentially where Spawn come in. They act very much like Forsaken with the additional bonuses of Unbreakable, Fear and doing more damage, making them a pretty good unit to put in the middle of your line and then hopefully forget about while you're microing the flanks - or behind a line of shields and then unleashed when they engage, if you're worried about missiles.
As with all Spawn though, their animations are quite poor and they rarely do as much as their stats suggest. They can also get focused down by spears and missiles quickly. A two turn recruitment is a killer blow for them in campaign since that's how long Exalted Daemonettes of Slaanesh take from the exact same building, and Chaos Warriors of Slaanesh are much better tanks. Stick with the Forsaken if you want something cheaper.
