Alright have a tourney this weekend for 2000 points and have three slaanesh themed armies to chose from:

LIST 1:

2 x HQ: Chaos Sorcerer: MoS, Personal Icon, Lash

E1: 3 Termies with 2 Ltng Claws, 1 Termie with Chainfist and Hvy Flamer (MoS)
E2: 3 Termies with PW & Combi-Bolter, 1 Termie with Chainfist and Hvy Flamer (MoS)
E3: 3 Termies with Combi-bolter. 1 Termie with Combi-Melta & PW, 1 Termie with Chainfist and Reaper (MoS)
T1: 5 Noise Marines: 4 w Sonic Blaster, 1 w Blast Master
T2: 5 Noise Marines: 4 w Sonic Blaster, 1 w Blast Master
T3: 12 Lesser Daemons
T4: 6 Lesser Daemons
H1: Landraider w Daemonic Possession
H2: Landraider w Daemonic Possession
H3: 2 Obliterators

Option 2: Same as above except -

1 HQ: Chaos Sorcerer: MoS, PI, Lash

E3: Switch 2 Termies with Combi-bolters & PW to 2 Termies with Combi-flamers & PW
T1: Add Aspiring Champion: Doom Siren & Power Weapon
T2: Add Aspiring Champion: Doom Siren & Power Weapon


This army is still in the making so choices are limited. The following are available but not fielded:

2 x Defilers (+2 CCW)
1 x Obliterator
2 x Termies with 2 LC, 1 Termie with CF & Reaper, 2 x Termies with Combi-Flamer and PW, 1 x Termie w Combi-Bolter & PW.

Basically the choice is double lash or single lash and add the nasty close-up Aspiring Champions to the noise marines for fluffy 6-man squads.


I

I think both options lack some focus. Especially the Noise Marines in their current set-up don't add to the power of the army.

The potential strenght of the list is to put a lot up stuff in your opponents face. Unload two LRs, summon daemons. Deep Strike another Term Squad and the Obliterators. All up close and threatening. Then you have two line-squads standing there in your deploymentzone. Also I dont really think dual lash is needed in your list.

155 Daemon Prince, MoS, LoS, Wings
170 5 Terminators, ChF, Hvy Flamer
170 5 Terminators, ChF, Hvy Flamer
105 3 Terminators, 3x CombiMelta
~250 6 Noise Marines, SB, BM, Asp Champ, PF, Rhino
~250 6 Noise Marines, SB, BM, Asp Champ, PF, Rhino
78 6 Lesser Daemons
78 6 Lesser Daemons
250 LR, DP
250 LR, DP
225 3 Obliterators

Something like this looks a bit more focussed to me...

Good luck, Cilithan

i have to agree with cilithan, the dual lash is not really needed here.
the point of dual lash list is tho push your enemy close together and then spam them with template weapons for maximum effect.
with only 2 plasmaguns from your oblits and only 2 heavy flamers that wont work out too well.
furthermore for a competetive army build your troops choices seem a little bit too fragile. as soon as their land raiders get busted, which can happen pretty fast indeed at that point lvl they be as good as dead.

The idea is to deep strike in the terminators off the chaos sorcerers. Dropping one seems good to me.

While a demon prince and rhinos may be better... I don't have those options right now. So... how about this.

HQ: Sorcerer MoS, Pers Icon
130
E: 4 Terminators 185
E: 4 Terminators 155
E: 4 Terminators 175

T1: 6 Noise Marines 225
T2: 6 Noise Marines 225
T3: 6 Lesser Daemons 78
T4: 6 Lesser Daemons 78

H1: 3 Obliterators 225
H2: Possessed Landraider 240
H3: Possessed Landraider 240

The base idea is get the two raiders and load them up with the noise marines and sorcerer. They advance and pop smoke on turn 2 all the other deep strikes off the icons and shoots the snot out of it. The lesser daemons are there more to grab objectives as 6 lesser daemons are really just nuisance units.

The alternative is load 1 with termies and sorcerer. Advance, unload and lash one target into assault range so it is in combat on turn 1. Then proceed to walk through opponents ASAP with all the deep strike love.
