hi,

I used to play pact of slaanesh army list from Storm of Chaos but as there has been 2 new rule books, a new chaos army book, the release of daemons and a new dark elves book, the list has become unuseable and non cannon. I have rewritten the list however this is in no way finished and official but i would welcom advice and input from people. its still work in progress.

so here it is:

Basic rules

I have proposed four subclasses for the army list, this helps it be more in theme with what a pact of slaanesh may be like (I used darkblade volume 1 as a reference).

Druchii:- Subject to the rules for Dark Elves for eternal hatred etc, are chosen from the DE army book. Druchii characters may only join druchii units ( tehre are exceptions).
Devoted:- are basically slaanesh's followers among the (relatively) common folk of the warhammer world. They are immune to Psycology, can only be joined by a sorceress or high sorceress and never use the generals leadership.
Chaos:- anything taken from Warriors of Chaos (WOC), must always have the mark of slaanesh.
daemonic:- allied daemons from daemons army book, can only be slannesh and can never take a greater daemon or the masque.

choosing units:-
core unit restrictions (in addition to the ones in warhammer rule book):-

every two druchii units allows the selection of 1 chaos unit (including daemons). there can never be more chaos units than druchii units. A herald of slaanesh grants access to daemonic units. No corsairs or corsair equipment (eg sea dragon cloaks) and no Khainite units.

North of your position

Seems allright to me, but a Daemon Prince is a Lord in the WoC army.

Yah the DP as rare is a bit of a slap to WoC and DoC who have to Lord them. And DPs have a huge number of options for a Rare and could come out to like a 500pt spellcasting char, which I don't think amazingly fits.

Altar's KB option doesn't match Slaanesh at all, IMHO and should be removed.

I don't think Warriors should be core. Not a big fan of taking units from other books. Same thing with Exalted.
