Theme: Praise be Slaanesh

Plan: Stratagem spam a whole lot of powerful double shooting mixed in with some powerful assault units to go in and thrown down. While sneakily going for objectives while the opponent hopefully focuses on withering my firepower.

Why not spam slaanesh obliterators with abbadon like everyone else does. They can deep strike, more survivable and better guns. The above list is nothing new, it’s just a worse version of one of the current chaos lists doing the rounds.

Lucius is mhe, I don't think is very useful for his cost.
As minimanj said there's no point bringing devastators with MSU, as the immediatly start to lose effectivness after the first wound, they don't have any invulnerable save and they are completely static.
You have just a single strong CAC unit that cannot soak damage as demonettes are not very durable, bikers are sadly pretty uselessas they will melt really quickly and they dont' beneft from any sinergy as they run alone...if you want a fast unit to take objectives there's no point in bringing six, better three with three melta or bring more seekers.
The sword on the prince is trash, give him talons AND unholy strenght, much more effective

Fair points my friends I agree whole heartedly.
However I built the list based on units I own not on what i wish i had...if only i had jumped on the obliterator bandwagon years ago instead of havoks..

any how I am happy with the list as is, I accept those very weaknesses and lack of optimization that i know it suffers from and also those that i wasnt aware of that you guys kindly pointed to.

I believe the list can still win despite it's weaknesses and being an inferior version, it doesn't mean it's a poor unsynergistic list. The goal was to praise mighty Slaanesh and I've achieved that hear.

Changes:
So I removed the bikers in favor of adding a Daemon Prince of Chaos to the Patrol daemons detachment. I will spend a command point to give that DP the soulstealer relic.

I moved lucious to the battalion alongside the prince and cultists and moved abaddon (warlord) to the spearhead so that he can grant full rerolls to the units that can use it the most. Abaddon is warlord for the added CP and because slaanesh traits suck.

Abaddon is black legion so you lose legion trait in that detachment.

That's just copy and paste at work, the legion is black legion. There's no point in havin gthat detachment as emperor's children. My mistake.
