Slaanesh Hellslicers are strange ships to behold. They are basically identical to Imperial wargalleys, but have huge scythe blades affixed atop their reinforced masts. As a Hellslicer approaches a target, the blades begin to rotate. As they gather speed, the huge blades merge into a deadly, glittering arc, and make an eerie keening sigh as they slice through the air.[1a]
The whirling blades of the Hellslicer only attack high locations; if the enemy ship doesn't have any high locations, the blades pass over the top of the ship and have no effect. Sail locations are particularly susceptible to the Hellslicer's attack.[1a]
