Except that they want to sell their mini-game to pre-teen boys (and girls?)... so it's all been simplified and is merely a bit 'naughty'.They touch on excess of sensation in a few bits of Slaanesh lore - Noise Marines, frex, or Dechala and her mutants - and Lucius touches on the dangers of pride. But Slaanesh still feels, to me, like the god with the most untapped horror potential, the one where you could just challenge the designers and writers "do your worst".
I wonder about similarities between the representation of Slaanesh and Hellraiser's 'Cenobites' (ignoring most of the movies)... both being British creations, both groups devoted to desire and sensation, not just sex, and demonstrating ambiguous morality. For a wargame they are required to be just an outlandish enemy army, but in the RPG they could be explored in much more subtle, and less overtly militaristic, ways.
