Okay, my goal with this army is to get into assault as fast as possible and with as many different things as possible. It's all about saturation and pointing the right guys at the right targets. I will be using cultist troops held in reserve to sneak up on objectives on my half of the board, while surviving Noise Marines that supported the assault will grab any forward objectives.

HQ:

-Slaanesh Chaos Lord: Power Fist, Lightning Claw, Chaos Bike, Sigil of Corruption (165)

Troops:

-20 Chaos Cultists w/ 2 Flamers (84)

-20 Chaos Cultists w/ 2 Flamers (84)

-10 Noise Marines(w/Rhino); 5 w/ Sonic Blasters, 4 w/ CCW and Pistol, Champion w/CCW and Pistol with Doom Siren and Melta Bombs. (240)

Elites:

-5 Chaos Terminators: Powerfist; Pair of Lightning Claws; Combi-Plasma; Combi-Melta; Reaper Autocannon (206)

Fast Attack:

-Heldrake w/ Baleflamer (170)

-5 Chaos Spawn w/ MoN (180)

Heavy Support: 3 Obliterators w/ MoN (228)

Allies:

I'm not sure I actually have enough fast attack with this list, and the terminators may just be a waste of points.

I have the models for screamers, raptors, and some bikes as well if those seem like good options. I'm aware this list is probably subpar, but I hope at least the basic idea is getting through so that it can be improved. I don't want to succumb to an entirely Nurgle list with two Heldrakes, I'm trying something a bit different with this list.

I haven't played in six months so no idea what's what at the moment (and probably didn't know before anyway) but this looks like a very nice list.

Even though I love them, I'd question the Terminators. I'd either go termicide (maybe x2 if you can find the points, maybe drop a couple seekers or something) or another Helldrake, and/or aegis defence line.

I'm not sure what the point is of the bike on the Chaos Lord. It can't be joined with the spawn as they are MoN and it can't join any of the daemon units because of their (very silly) special rules.

You might as well give him a steed of Slaanesh instead, because at least then you can get some use of the outflank rule with a squad of cultists.

Hm, I've overlooked this. Well... should I go steed and keep him Slaanesh, or make him a Nurgle Biker?

I figured the cover-ignoring of the Noise Marines would be very useful, but it seems as if I'm overestimating their competance if I accept what other people are saying about them. Plague marines seem too static for this army though.

As for the termies, what unit should I replace them with?
