Simple question, but which way do you Pronounce Slaanesh?

I use Slaan-esh, because it's easy, simple and elegant. Just what the Dark Prince deserves. :P

Hmm.. I don't see where you get the 'r' from in some of those options.

I personally do use Slaan-esh too.

Depends on your accent or how you first heard it... I once heard someone call it Slar-nesh.

well you've managed to totally miss out an important element of pronunciation, but bar that... ;)

You should ask where in the word you put the emphasis, i.e.

Slaanesh or Slaanesh



Its when you get to user names like S'nkeep that you want to start thinking about it :P .

I only really realised when one of my RL friends joined the CW campaign, and he asked which members were the campaign masters. I could only reply "Vinshqueek, Rage, Phink, and... er... that other one"


no offence, if you reading S'nkeep :P ;)

lol, why are we doing Slaanesh, and not Tzeentch! I've heard many variations, from Zent through to cheench! (lol, only realised after that that could be a joke, as I actually mean it!)

Tzeench I pronounce with a silent T so zeen (rhymes with seen) and ch (like in change)

sounds fair enough.

Personally I use a cross between T followed by a Z, which is how it is spelt, I guess!

Slaan-esh. It's how its spelled, and how I say it. I'm not too sure where all the "r" pronunciations came from. ;)

As for Tzeentch, I pronounce it t-ZEEN-tch. Sometimes, when I talk fast, the "T" sort of melds with the "z", but whatever.

I pronounce it sla-nesh and zeench. How about people's pronounciations of be'lakor? I pronounce it like bell-a-kor.

Be-la-KOR (emphasis on "kor", obviously.) Funny how we all pronounce Be'lakor differently... ;)
