You have a bunch of models that look cool, but due to our previous codex they all got slapped into sub par with 80% of the rest of the codex.

HQ: looks ok. Demon weapons tend to bite the hand that wields them too much. And all the things you want to insta kill have eternal warrior ... and its only str 4 so it lets you down alot. Better to give LC's, or run a DP, who is just plain better for about the same points.

Slannesh DP with wings, MOS, and Lash of slaanesh(often cited as one of the most broken powers in the game) is pretty cheap at 155. Can fly, has 4 wounds, better toughness and strength and the same armor saves. Just somethign to consider. If you have yoru lord fig now, its not, bad, just try Pair of LC instead of Demon weapon. Really doesnt need term armor either ... if he wins that means the opponent gets away as terms cant run people down.

Possessed: Bad .... actuallly not that bad, just random and WAY too expensive for what they do. They used to be awesome, the figs are some of the best in the game, the rules you ask? Very lack luster. Also Icons are usually wasted on small squads, as they are more cost effective on larger squads.

Noise marines: easily one of the better choices in the dex. Only suggestion here is drop the blastmaster and upgrade all of the other NM with sonic blasters. They make an awesome shooty unit against hordes, and a great assualt unit against everything. 2 shots + 3 attacks on the charge = yummy!
Blastmasters: Ok in a 5 man squad with nothing else ... but not really my style. I prefer to roll with squads of 6-8 with doom siren champ in a rhino.

Bikes: just way too expensive for a T5 marine with his regualr 3+ save. still dies to everythign that kills marines. they wont kill much with their 9 attacks on the charge, and the icon is agian sadly jsut wasted on such a small unit.

Demonettes: Not a horrible choice, but not really that great either. The problem is that they are so squishy that they actually help your opponent win soemtimes. They just target the girlies who get no save and kill more than you do. a full squad of demonetes on average kill only about 2-3 marines(30 attacks on charge, 4+ to hit, 4+ to wound, marines save on 3+).

But they look good in an all slaanesh army.

So if those are the figs you have to work with, you will probably not do all that well in your first couple of games unless you are playing people of similar experience and just starting out as well (and technically you need two troops and you only have one. Demonettes dont count toward the min or max # of troops.)

My suggestion for a 1000 point slaanesh themed list:
Demon prince with wings, mos, and Lash
6 noise marines 5 sonic blasters, champ with doom siren and PW, rhino
6 noise marines 5 sonic blasters champ with doom siren and pf, rhino
10 csm 2 melta guns, icon of slaanesh, champ, pf, rhino
10 demonettes

That uses most of the figs you have (I would suggest using the posessed to make conversions for champions ... they look awesome, but the unit just isnt worth fielding). The bikers are just out of luck. They jsut dont do anything, except maybe run a melta gun, and they don't do that very efficiently either.

If you are just starting out(it sounds like you are), find a way to convert sonic blasters. I used the little dog and dragon heads that come with the vehicles and glued them to the end of the bolters to make mine when i first started out.

The only thing you should have to buy are a demon prince(new plastic one is coming out very soon) a few rhinos(good way to get the bits for the sonic blaster conversions) and one squad of choas marines(which will give you the bits to convert the spawn into champions and noise marines if necessary).

That gives yo ua decent little list to start out with. It will need some anti take with longer range than the two melta guns when you go to a higher points level, but you shoudl get some games in and learn how what you have plays before you get going that far.

Good luck with your army, I love emperors children and think they are great fun ... doom sirens make spaze marines cry!

yeah i like the list you suggested, but i think i have to think this out more, ill get back to you when i figure out what do add onto this list, ill bear your suggestions in mind, thanks
