Hi,

I think I like painting & modelling, but it'd be a waste putting that effort in a useless army.
Slaanesh seemed a fun theme to paint or eventually convert, so could anyone take a look at this list and tell me I'm not particularly offtrack with any of these choices:

HQ:
chaos lord, mark of Slaanesh, lightning claw 95

Troops:
5 noise marines, extra ccw, doom siren, power weapon, rhino/dirgecaster 170

10 marines, 2 plasma guns, power weapon, mark of Slaanesh, icon of excess 235

total:
500

I feel myself comfortable with the look of these miniatures, so it'd be cool if this idea is generally playable.

The list looks fine. In small point games you need numbers.

So noise marines have enough close combat potential?
I only wonder if assigning the lord to the normal marines would be a good idea since they'd get the fearless rule, and the noise marines already have it.
However, his melee attacks would be a nice addition to the NM unit.

Also, would this core still be any good in higher pt. games?

If your going up to 1000pts id add an extra 5 marines and IoE to the NM and perhaps give them sonic blasters and a blastmaster NM make an excellent firebase
