Howdy, I am getting deeper into AoS and I was looking for suggestions in rounding out my Hosts of Slaanesh list.

Current List:
Keeper of Secrets (Warlord)
Deamon Prince

Deamonettes x 30
Deamonettes x 30

Seekers x 10
Seekers x 10

Total is 1460.

Now because everything is so fast, I feel like I need something tough and hard hitting to act as the center piece unit.

I was thinking 30 Warriors of Chaos with Great Swords and a herald but I could use suggestions.

Another option was 15 Chosen with Hellstriders as the 3rd Battleline.

Any other suggestions for what I should do? If I did 30 warriors, will moving and using 60 Nettes and 30 Warriors be too much?

Thanks,
Emerald

Honestly, If you have the model available I'd almost go for a soul grinder and mark it. They always seem to get work done and they attract a lot of attention, leaving the rest of your army to do as it pleases. Could possibly do a Slaughterbrute if you can squeeze in a StD hero with the proper mark unless I am overlooking something. If not I'd prefer Chaos knights over the warriors simply to keep up with the rest of the force while still packing a punch, just my 2 cents though.

I do have a Soul Grinder so that is a thought.

Pretenders get the re-roll 1's to hit above a unit size of 10 and 10 knights is really expensive. I might be undervaluing the movement as I feel like I actually need less speed and more durability/hitting power.

I also would need Hellstriders as the 3rd battleline.

Slaughterbrutes are Khorne so that's a no go.

How about some artillery? Like previously mentioned, the soul grinder or maybe even a Hellcannon. They DO have points, just tough to find; it’s on the Warhammer community site, and sits at 300. Does a LOT of damage (increased shots against big units, increased hit if it doesn’t move, etc), and will attract attention or murder stuff. It lets your fast stuff keep moving and survive. Just food for thought.

I'd recommend a unit or 2 of hellstriders. the -1 to hit banner makes them great at escorting melee units like seekers, chariots, or the KOS. what do you want as an uber hard hitter though. if you want a tarpit muncher get a herald on exalted chariot and not only will the zombies just melt but it will make daemonettes tougher by forcing enemy 6s to hit to be rerolled. for heavy hitting monster your best bet is probably a soul grinder
