Brainstorming for a Haemonculi Covens lore

[Uprising]

I bought a small Dark eldar army back in 2020, but never did anything with it.  In 2025 and 2026, I am downsizing all my collection due to multiple reasons.  Dark eldar sadly, was picked to be sold, but I have decided to keep the small amount of models that included Haemonculi Covens (3 Talos, 1 Haemonculi, 15 Wracks, and bitz) as they are my favorite part of the range.  

 

My question is, how likely would a small band of exile Haemonculi Covens (From the Dark Creed), just living in real space with some Slaanesh Night lords who view them as useful enough to eat them last.  How crazy is this?

Sorry for late reply.  Your Coven would have to capture enough of their own kind to give to the Slaanesh Night Lords in place of their own souls.

 

And I think I literally ripped that off of Hellraiser, too.  I think this was the deal Frank Cotton struck with Pinhead, to give him Kirsty Cotton.

 

Why would the Night Lords entertain this?  It's not just for the souls to Slaanesh, it's that they like the betrayal.  Betrayal itself is a prize to them.

Its not that crazy, there is lore precedent that haemonculi covens are not above playing with chaos.. first and foremost Fabius bile as an example.

During psychic awakening there where some allusions in one of GWs online shorts ( an abandoned bigger plot I suspect ) where ynnari corsairs where assaulting Emperor's Children ships only to discover that among the evacuees where haemonculi ( this was the last cliffhanger so the why etc is unknown.. )

Thank you both for the answer.  I am glad that it is not too crazy, and will think about how I want to approach the project.
