I know from a gameplay perspective it's actually a not awful idea (they compliment each other largely) but as far as fluff goes, would a Khorne worshipping army accept a small amount of Slaanesh followers into their folds? The army fluff itself is a cultish warband that empowers their daemon engines with the blood of cultists, and draw Daemons from the warp with mass slaughter from their Bezerkers and the mass death of their cultists. Notice a lot of "mass" in that description. With such a central theme of excessive blood letting taking place, would it be reasonable to assume their actions would draw in Slaanesh renegades as well? Im not saying EC, but actual renegade chapters of Slaanesh.

And more importantly fluff wise, would they have much in-fighting? And would a World Eaters led band even accept Slaanesh worshippers into their bloodbath?

My Chaos army is a big horde that follows a Khorne Daemon Prince. It has small warbands of Iron Warriors, Nurgle Renegades, Thousand Sons renegade sorcerers, undivided warbands, etc...

is totally posible, yes.

I always found it hilariously unfluffy that the fluff states that Khorne and Slaanesh don't work together, yet they are both GLORIOUSLY excessive.

They're definitely on the opposite ends of the Chaos spectrum, as far as personalities go, but every God does bleed over to the others a little. I was going to elaborate but I'm not feeling particularly like grossing people out.
At the end of the day, I could see a Khorne force accepting Slaanesh followers on the battlefield because Blood is still going to flow, skulls will still be taken...regardless of what might happen to them beforehand.

I'd say that Tzeetch is further away than Slaanesh as far as the spectrum goes. Nurgle is obviously the MOST away from Tzeetch, but I consider the subtle, scheming masters of tactics to be the polar opposite from the rampaging warmongers

Vaklor4, you've definitely got a good point there. The excess of magic in Tzeentch followers also goes a long way to support your argument as well.
