So the local store is running a series of games, starting with 800 points with the new expansion and all its back-stabbing glory. So eager to get in/find a drive to finish all those troops I've come up with the following list.

Slaanesh herald 120
mount
locus of grace

15 Daemonettes - full command 195

15 Daemonettes - full command 195

5 Seekers of Slaanesh 100

5 Flesh Hounds 165
ambush

Total 775

This leaves me with 25 points spare, enough for a battle standard on the Herald or a standard for one of the troop choices. However I'm not as experienced in knowing the best standard to go for nor the best place to put it.


My thoughts are:
Getting magic into the list is tricky at this points level; though I could drop the mount and make the herald a level 1 although I then lose points for the standard.

A full command helps maximise what few troops I have on the table top since there isn't the bulk of points to put much more into support elements.

Seekers plus the herald provide a fast option for the table, letting me either strike out to grab objectives or to slip around behind other units to flank them or go for artillery behind them.

Flesh hounds provide a random appearing, but strong option to remove further off artillery or ranged encampments.

Seeker+herald gives me an excuse to use my converted mounted herald

Ideally I want to move the army as a block so that the two units of Daemonettes can support each others attack upon a single target; seekers can then adapt to the table to either strike out (as mentioned) or hang back close to support attacks. Hounds are then the random scary element toward any artillery. The only weakness is a lack of magical support for the army as well as possibly a lack of punch; I'm concerned that whilst what I have on the table is fast, its not as durable - a regular glass cannon that might be a little too fragile for a game with multiple opponents.
I'd have liked to drop some elements and work a skull cannon into the army; however mine are still on the building pile (and sadly with them really requiring partial painting before assembly they'll be there for a fairly long while yet).

So those are my rough thoughts if anyone has any suggestions I'd welcome them!
