Hi there is a competition in my area coming up and i really want to use a Daemons of slaanesh army.
The problem is in all my test games they have not performed well against other armys.
Is there and cheese or detachements that could help in make my sexy daemons pull off a win?

I guess the question is, what have you brought to your test games and what do you have available to use?

For me Fiends of Slaanesh are really good. Couple them with a fast moving character and they can lock down key enemy units T1 until the cavalry arrive (possibly even literally with Seekers). Any enemies that dedicate units to close combat against them mean that they are getting closer to you, rather than playing for time like they should.

i always seem to loose out hard to heavy shooting armys, even if i get turn 1 i can never engage much with a 20" movement. anything not locked in combat is normaly picked off in one volley of shooting. i have 160 daemonettes 3 heraldds on chariots the masque and seekers to fill out a 1750-2k list.
the last few games where i havent gotten first turn ive pretty much been blown off by my opponent turn1, noramly to eldar/druhkari/harlquins comb or tau.

The seekers don't make it T1? Do they have advance and charge?

i dont get a t1 most of the time, they are shot off the board. save for a herald a couple daemonetts and a fiend which normaly dont make the move into cc from overwatch.

Do you normally use terrain? Cause one of the great benefits of being CC is being able to charge without LOS

yeah i will try some no los charges if i ever get a turn. i have noticed i dont really benefit from terrain unless im out of los. 5++ is better than my armor save.
