Problem is most likely malekith is leading the shadowkin which shard and the mistweaver are most likely a part of and they are order. They note after slaanesh spirited Morathi away and malekith found her again in ulgu he noted that she seemed "changed". If it her it's easy drama between the two and considering she was the head of the cult of pleasure it's most likely her.

No doubt Slaanesh's return will be epic but I have a hard time thinking it'll happen this year.
I imagine there will be quite a bit more build-up for it.
I've been viewing the chaos gods as sort of a boss sequence and think Slaanesh will be the "final boss" before something big happens to keep us looking at future plot progression.
Spoiler:
Level 1: Khorne, threatening looking but troops are predictable and ill-prepared.
Level 2: Nurgle, actually competent enemy whose a step-up but you're backed up by allies to balance things out.
Level 3: Tzeentch, wake-up call boss, deadly troops and can out-think you while robbing you of your strengths. Get good.
Level 4: GHR, fake difficulty boss, uses spams and randomness to make up for crappy competence. Expect to lose due to luck rather than skill.
Level 5: Slaanesh, sealed evil in a can boss, deadly all-around and has been working behind the scenes to make a win-win situation for itself.
Level 6: ???, not sure but expect cries of "hacks!", ragequits and "you haven't even seen my final form!!".

Well the cult of pleasure was slaaneshi influenced until they changed it to it was totally part of the elven pantheon the dark parts which I felt was nonsense. Considering Malekith had daemonettes popping up in his city when their rituals went too far. Honestly in my opinion if this rumour is true overall I feel the fluff is stepping back to how it was in older editions.
God dedicated beastmen, showing tzeentch and now this.
This can represent the new elf split in the setting and Morathi causing more drama as always with the elves. Honestly if I ever wanted a slaanesh representive I would pick her sigvald was too much of a joke character in my opinion.

Well yes how many years ago was that? In all later instances they never show the God only talk of them but just like 2nd edition they gave us a depiction of him.
