Use Fiends to prevent a non-Fly unit falling back and shooting you. Enemy Psykers within 12" get a -1 to their rolls too,, but mainly you want them to pin things in place while you chop them up.
Send in the Seekers to eat Overwatch, pin the unit with Fiends (which move at the same speed as Seekers), next turn your Chariots (which are 2" per turn slower) plough in. Turn after that, your Daemonettes (which are only half the speed of Seekers) pile in. At least, that's the theory of what I do with them.
Importantly, you must run six of them. Everything in multiples of six and your dice never go bad. Fact.

A separate Emperor's Children book is another matter altogether, however. Do either Thousands Sons or Death Guard books include Daemons? I own neither.
I really don't know why '
GW phoned it in' for Slaanesh in the Daemons book. I hope we see Heralds on Chariots and Steeds again, one day. It is irritating to have three Heralds on foot who have D2 claws and three mounted Heralds who do not.
Also, my recent plog experiences would suggest that an intensification of the whole 'kink' thing will be met with almost complete silence
Death Guard doesn't have any of the classic Nurgle Daemons in it. The Thousand Sons book, however, does. It has the Horrors, Screamers, Flamers, all of those in it.
an Emperor's Children book or a Slaanesh Daemonkin book wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. Slaanesh currently is in a meh sort of place. Pure Slaanesh Daemon lists are incredibly fragile, without all of the gimmicks of Eldar to keep them alive and with none of the ranged weapons. They're entirely close-combat based, which is unfortunate because they don't have a ton of hitting strength. There's a few models that do the job, but they can be targetted down very, very quickly. At the end of the day, you fall into the same Daemon Prince spam as anyone else.
As for Chaos Marines, Noise Marines aren't bad, per se, but they aren't great either, and they fall under the same issues that all Chaos Marines have: 3+ armor and t4 with 1 wound just isn't that great.
But, we'll see what happens. If
GW wants to sell these models, it'd make sense for them to get some updated rules to make them better.
I'm not saying a Slaanesh Daemons book is impossible, just that there's no precedent currently so expecting it might be a little pie-in-the-sky.
I have a Slaanesh Daemons army, mostly painted. I won't pretend I am a competitive type or played with competitive types, but I've done alright without a single Daemon Prince They're not real Daemons, so they can slum it with the
CSM part of my soup.
