This is my proposed Slaanesh CSM Army to partner with my brothers in Doubles Tournaments - Although To Be Honest I dont want a massively competitive army list...
And I recognise I will receive a lotta suggestions 2 get a Lash/Daemon Prince, but it doesnt suit the fluff of my force... however I might in time or me and my brother may use a Winged DP each

my brothers force will be chosen from his selection of Beserkers, CSM's, A Daemon prince, Land Raider(s), 10 Termies, Rhino's, Kharn, a Chaos Termie Lord, CC Dread and Lesser Daemons

HQ - Chaos Lord - Mark of Slaanesh, Personal Icon, Meltabombs, Daemon Weapon/Blissgiver - 145pts

Troops - Chaos Space Marines - 10 - Icon of Slaanesh, 2x Plasma Guns - 200pts

Troops - Lesser Daemons - 6 - 78 pts

Heavy Support - Obliterator - 75 pts

498pts

Thanks, C+C welcome

Sac the lesser demons for a second obliterator, and try and get a power fist or weapon into the CSM's. Mark of Slanesh isn't too great for normal chaos, but if you wanna run it, at LEAST take a power weapon. This will allow you to kill off 2+ models without saves, hopefully, before they strike back.

I'd also suggest Meltas instead of plasma for your chaos... if you fail Gets Hot it will be very bad for you.

Also, I pray you don't face nids, a hive tyrant would make your list cry :/

Wait your brother can take LRs and demon princes in a 500pt tourney?

In small games, you need numbers.
I'd take 2 full CSM squads with two special weapons each.
Add a naked DP.

Thanks for the help, in response to your comments how about this:

- Lesser Daemons add a extra troop choice that can assist where needed by deep striking on icons. However i did consider dropping them 4 say a rhino and Power Weapon Champ. - personally i feel that a rhino would need other vehicles 2 share any heavy firepower - firepower which would be wasted on an all infantry army

- I was thinking the Icon of Slaanesh would benefit my shooty CSM squad should they get charged, whilst the plasma guns could take out 2+ save guys and MC's and potentially light vehicles whilst still having manoeuvrability... altho yeah failing Gets Hot would decimate the squad - however I was thinking of taking a lascannon instead of one of the plasma (and maybe drop the other 4 the meltagun) which with my obliterator could take out any tanks, and prevent my squad blowing themselves up!

- Yeah Tyrants would hump my list silly! however there is potential 2 take em' out - Plasma's/Melta's/Lascannons in the CSM squad and Obliterator, but thats a bit hopeful!! I'd pray 4 it 2 attack my brothers army! lol however the addition of a DP could take 1 out with assistance...

- I could drop the Personal Icon, meltabombs and the Lesser Daemons 4 some more CSM's as wuestenfux suggested...

-How about my brother takes Kharn, 10 Zerker's and 5 flamers in a squad of chosen? his army cud provide a large amount of CC goodness and anti-infantry, with our 2 HQ's being a kick-ass tag team and my units providing troops, anti-tank and firepower? this would give us about 23 meq troops (counting lesser daemons as half!)

thnx 4 all the help so far, keep it coming!

All i can say is pray that your brothers Kharn doesnt kill your own units and that fire power will be essintial in small forces
