HQ- Slaanesh Lord in terminator armor with combi-plasma and lightning claw
Slaanesh Sorcerer Lvl 3 with spell familiar and a force axe

Elite- 5x Slaanesh Terminators with icon excess 2 combi meltas and 2 combi plasmas, 1 power sword, 2 power maul, 1 power fist and a champ with power sword and combi plasma
So with lord in here they can deep strike in with 8 plasma shots and 2 melta shots, if within 12" that is...

Troops- 3x 6 man noise marines with a blastmaster in each
11 noise marines with sonic blasters, doom siren and m. bombs on champ, icon of excess. Sorcerer goes here for 12 total

Fast- bale drake

Heavy- 6 havocs w/ 4 autocannons

Chaos Demon allies

HQ- Herald on steed with exalted reward

Troops- 12 daemonettes

Fast- 11 seekers of slaanesh

total of 67 models who are fearless, 5 scoring units plus 2 fast and a heavy. I think my main concern is Land Raiders, but who isn't having a hard time against land raiders?
I'm trying to be fluffy and still competitive, like tourney competitive. Having the demons around let's me negate a tzeentch 2+ rerollable. If it's Eldar I will likely try to go with the doomstone and make all those douchey warlocks devour their leadership. I think I have enough shots to ground flying circus. Or am I being too positive?

Any suggestions or considerations?

Can I make the suggestion of taking a bastion to put your large unit of noise marines on top then one of your smaller units inside or even your havocs. I'd say this list is ok but not overly competative. Your units going forward are very susceptible to small arms fire even seekers with the grimnore get shot down pretty easily by mass firepower.

Never thought of a bastion before. 75 pts to free up right? Hmmm I will most certainly consider that! Seekers are more of a nuisance and bullet soaker upper that will never run away, that requires a lot of shots, if they don't whiff their grimoire haha.

I do really like Noise Marines, both on paper and fluffy speaking.
However, they do have their drawbacks, and you must be careful.

1) Lack of mobility. Especially on tourneys, you'll find out that often you cannot deploy already within a big nice building that allows you to protect your objectives. You'll have to spend one or two turn to go there, which means a lot of wasted blastmaster shots.
2) Nobody likes to be hit by blast S8 AP3 weapons. Expect them to draw lots of attention.
3) To make them scoring, you need a Chaos Lord with MoS. Sadly, the Lord is often best equipped with MoN, which increases its survivability a lot. Also because MoS Spawns are not half as good as Nurgle ones.
4) If the opponent spreads out well, a blastmaster shot is just a single kill. No good, too many points to kill only one model.


I believe you do need to have some reliable way to blow up transports, even Land Raiders. Blastmasters work well against crowded infantry, and the best way to do it is to fire at DS units or units whose transport has just been blown up. Not to mention that you can't hurt infantry if it's hiding within a tank. That's why I suggest you to drop havocs (don't need more anti-infantry weaponry) and take Oblits or Predators. Also 2 Heldrakes are almost mandatory, both for anti-AA and for blowing up light vehicles. Plus the magnficent Baleflamer.
Even if it's not mandatory, you can really benefit from a Bastion. This will assure you that at least ONE objective (and often it's enough) may be place where YOU want, in a position where you can deploy NM from start and do not waste their shots.e


So, these are my ideas to try and solve the above problems (I didn't playtested it yet, though):
