Hello all, I really like the idea of going mono-Slaanesh with my chaos marines who have always been on the backburner compared to my Eldar and Loyalists. For a long time I struggled finding a list that would really capture the speed of my favored god and Tzeentch was always too tempting when I was running lots of Daemon Princes, damn him. But now I've just purchased some chaos bikers and I'm really thinking that they best capture the way Slaanesh should feel on the tabletop. This list is for fun at my FLGS, but I definitely feel like it could be fine tuned a bit and I wanted to generally get some consensus about it's effectiveness. So any comments, changes or criticisms are greatly appreciated.

First off here's the list: Half Crimson Slaughter, Half Regular Codex

Strategery and Tacticalities: The main focus of the list is the bikers rolling for Invisibility or at least shrouding with T5 and FNP for great survivability and maneuverability to put my lord and his cocaine fueled retinue right into the enemy battle line. Behind the biker vanguard is the armored column of noise marines and predators gunning and moving into position giving me some board control and objective securing ability. From reserves come cultists for backfield objectives like they're always for and a hell drake for general dickery and flaming fun. The Daemon Prince is designed to fly around spewing out units of daemonettes onto objectives for points and behind cover/out of line of sight to make the enemy uncomfortable and if enemy firepower is low or the terrain is suitable perhaps to land and enjoy the pleasure of a good old rip and tear.

So, bike deathstar, armored column, flying and daemon summoning shenanigans with some cultists tagging along because yay. That's the plan. What do you think?

I thought someone argued that summoned units are not troops and can not score or get obj secured.

10 Marines (though Fearless) and 6 Bikes at 1850? Seems thin to me..

Its not that they're not troops, its that they aren't in a detachment that give Objective Secured (neither CAD or Allied detachment)

It doesn't stop conjured units from scoring objectives like normal

I'd be tempted to drop the Heldrake and max out the Bike squad to make a larger deathstar.

Drop the Balestar and have both Sorcerers roll Telepathy for redundancy and take a Spell Familiar. Also, Nova powers would be good to use with your speed to get up close to the enemy and blast them before shooting and charging.

Take a Blastmaster in each Noise Marine squad.
