So I'm thinking of taking this list to a competition, and was thinking what everyone thought of it.

Chaos Daemons Primary Detachment:

Herald of Slaanesh with the Exalted Locus of Beguilement 75pts
19 Daemonettes 171pts
3 Nurglings 45pts
Soul Grinder with the Mark of Slaanesh and Baleful Torrent 170pts
Soul Grinder with the Mark of Slaanesh and Baleful Torrent 170pts
Bastion with an Escape Hatch 100pts

Adamantine Lance Formation;

Knight Paladin 375pts
Knight Errant 370pts
Knight Errant 370pts

So the Daemonettes and Herald sit in the bastion and get out using the Escape Hatch, meaning when disembarking + running they can easily get a next turn charge off. Or they disembark, grab the relic and get back inside of the bastion next turn. Nurglings sit on a home objective, or deep strike onto another, in both cases hug terrain for a 2+ cover save and objective secured. And all the AV13 walkers walk up the board, killing stuff that gets in their way. The whole army can actually get a turn 2 charge off if required (but not the Nurglings). So what are peoples thoughts, will it work ok?

I.. think it will work. Obviously you need to be careful with getting the different forces close to each other.

You say who needs summoning, but I reckon a small summoning contingent, maybe just some horrors or a tzerald... would be a cheap way of injecting more units.
Maybe a portalglyph?

Yeah my deployment is restricted in some what way, so if my opponent deploys well or bad terrain, I can't counter deploy, or if I deploy first in a defensive way. But again good terrain and I'll be fine.

Some tzeentch stuff for summoning could be an idea, the list isn't tested yet, I've got the stuff just need to finaig painting it and to practice. I really wanted to see if people thought it could work, or any obvious flaws that could be avoided via tweaking the list. I think I'll practice with both no psykers, and with some summoning.
