Running this list for friendly games, it works out to 102 power level and a bit more than 2,000 points. Looking for feedback on how to optimize it, and how well it might work on the battlefield.

I used to run a very similar list with 2 Batallions instead of one. It got me an additional 3 command points but came at the cost of an additional CL and EC in place of the KAC.

This list gets 8 command points, which is healthy, but not as healthy as 11.

I worry about is the lack of CC specialists, the amount of Heavy Support, and the overall model count. It's an elite army, so a few things have to go right for it to win.

Why not mark everything with Slaanesh? Means more units can use both the demon prince aura and the double tap stratagem.

Personally I have no love for the Defiler and would replace it with either a forge fiend, oblitorators or another pred. Also will help you get under 2k points / 100 power level.
