** The Superior Vox-Caster's reaction to Boy telling him he'd met the Emperor in the flesh is... not friendly at all. Not only does he "censore" Boy by taping his mouth shut, he also threatens to kill him and his whole family for daring to even say such a thing. Needless to say, Boy ''snaps'' and beats him within an inch of his life with his voxcaster and his legs, mortally injuring him in the process. Then Asshailer arrives and manages to momentarily stop Boy by shouting so hard he makes his ears bleed. If it wasn't for Karstodes' timely arrival, Asshailer would've killed Boy.

** Principal Vox-Caster Proprietus shows us the typical BodyHorror a lot of the civil servants of the Imperium put themselves though. Larger than normal feet with legs so thin that ''their veins are exposed like cord bundles'' and exposed ribs to do things like grasp objects because of intentionally breaking their fingers ''just turning the Voxcaster on''. The art also shows he has a Vox speaker shoved into his mouth. ''All of this is intentional by the way.''

** Boy's daily route to the Palace in itself is a death course. Just to get to the "Gates of Eterntality" requires not getting crushed by the sheer sea of people on the streets, avoiding landmines left since the time of The Siege of Terra, avoiding the trigger happy Arbiters ''and the intelligent rats'', and do a stealth infiltration into the Gate because if the pilgrims catch him "skipping the line" they will eat him alive.

-->'''Jebarion''': Does it... live off of emotion?
-->'''Leman''': Yes.

-->'''Xylatro''':Oh... NO!

-->'''Jebarion''': Please... Mercy...
-->'''Leman''':[amused chortle] Ironic. [yawns] Next question.

* InUniverse example, but apparently 'The Inquisitor' is such a ''[[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible bad]]'' book that it's equivalent to ''torture'', and gives anyone who reads it hallucinations of the warp.

** Leman Russ' 'Game' with his Dark Eldar captives is a pretty damn horrifying version of the 'Questions' childrens game. Because, apparently, his time in the warp means he is able to manifest whatever he is thinking of during the game, starting with a gas that '''rapidly suffocates''' the Dark Eldar before one of them finally catches on. And apparently, he and Magnus used to play this exact version while they were still on the same side.
** After a MoodWhiplash during which Russ summons Urtis, the final thing he thinks of starts out.. weird. When asked whether it's a lifeform, he hesitates and explains "The answer is complex, but [[NayTheist he]] is leaning towards no". When asked whether it's a concept, he again hesitates, and when asked whether it's an emotion, he, [[RuleOfThree yet again]], hesitates before the no. The final question of whether the being lives off emotion gets an unequivical yes. This ''immediately'' makes the ''Dark Eldar'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck groan in realisation]] of [[TheDreaded just what it is]], to such a point that the last clarifying question of whether it is demonic seems more like it is stalling for time.
** Now this is where you almost feel [[SympathyForTheDevil sorry for the Dark Eldar]], because Eldar cannot utter Slaanesh's name because [[SpeakOfTheDevil it makes Slaanesh notice their souls]], yet [[Catch22Dilemma they have to say it to avoid Russ conjuring it forth]]. And ''Russ knows this'' - when the [[HopeSpot Dark Eldar try to get around it]] by calling it [[RedBaron She-who-thirsts]], Russ denies having any knowledge of what that is. After some more back and forth, one of the Eldar decides to take the plunge, and we hear firsthand why they were so terrified: the mere utterance of its name causes the Dark Eldar's soul to painfully, and horribly, be drained out as his body turn to ash. Also Leman Russ' powers are powerful enough that if he didn't fall asleep '''FREAKING SLAANESH WOULD HAVE BREACHED COMMORRAGH'''. Let it be known that, with this, Leman Russ might be one of the only beings in the galaxy to actually make a Dark Eldar weep from sheer terror and a broken mind.

** In the fifth special, Asdrubael Vect's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ows47yrO8CU&t=3m50s slave-servant, Timothy]]. He looks like the hybrid spawn between E.T. and a scrotum. If he was ever human, he barely looks like one now.

* Timothy, Asdrubael Vect's Cup-bearer, is something straight out of the uncanny valley.

* The aristocrats from Jopall are, in layman's terms, [[BodyHorror completely and horrifyingly deformed.]] One of them looks like it's melting, another is horribly swollen, and the one who speaks has some weird device that gives him a horrific permanent smile. They somehow make that slave...thing from Special 5 look normal in comparison.

** Speaking of, Slaanesh up to this point has been portrayed as a LaughablyEvil TooKinkyToTorture god([[AmbiguousGender dess]]) with an ExtremeLibido. ''[[MoodWhiplash Not when summoned by Russ]]''. The rhyme she gives as she approaches the Dark Eldar makes it ''very'' clear what is in store for their souls when she gets her hands on them, and as the rhyme continues, you hear screams in the background grow louder and louder. It almost makes you feel bad for the ''Dark Eldar''. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Almost]].

*** Slaanesh's sudden change in tone compared to all the other times we've seen it makes a horrifying amount of sense upon thinking about it more. Up until now we've only seen Slaanesh interact with the other Chaos Gods, all of whom are more powerful than it, and those weaker deities than it who are under the protection of the aforementioned Chaos Gods. These are ''mortals'', and for as weak as Slaanesh is when compared to the other Chaos Gods, there isn't a mortal alive that can hope to fight it, and it ''knows this''. It doesn't need to hold back, it doesn't need to curtail its true nature for its own sake, it can simply indulge and ''play with its food''.

** We hear firsthand on why Dark Eldar shouldn't say Slaanesh's name. There is a ''reason'' even the Dark Eldar call it 'She who thirsts' - the mere utterance of its name causes the Dark Eldar's soul to painfully, and horribly, be drained out as their bodies turn to ash. Also Leman Russ' powers are powerful enough that if he didn't fall asleep '''FREAKING SLAANESH WOULD HAVE BREACHED COMMORRAGH'''.

* The third Vox-Logs episode has the Dark Eldar escorting Leman Russ to the arena attempt to distract the very bored Primarch with a simple and harmless game... that unexpectedly turns into full-blown horror.

Because, apparently, his time in the warp means he is able to manifest whatever he is thinking of during the game.
