So, I own a robust Tzeentch and Khorne army, and a very small Nurgle force (start collecting + another unit of herald, nurglings and plaguebearers).

Im dipping my feet into Slaanesh, and so far I am going to be getting a single herald (or harp girl, but probably herald) and 15-20 Seekers, and running them up as a buffed up blob T1. That leaves me with about 100ish points to play with if I wanna keep the force small. My question is, what other Slaanesh units would be good to aid this style of force? Remember, 100-120 point limit.

Daemonettes are 6pts a piece. If they are all in their own detachment, they gain run and charge.

Do they do anything that my Bloodletters don't already, though? I'm going to be running these ladies beside my other 3 god armies, so I need to take the best of the 'unique' stuff from them.

Three fiends are 126 pts, they're fast and very handy for tying down something in combat denying them the ability to fall back unless it can fly.

I did see that, they look very appealing for what I want.

Seekers move 14", Heralds 7" and their +1S aura is 6". Your Herald needs a Steed or a Chariot to keep up.

Based on what you've said, two Hellflayers. 100pts on the nose.

I think a "Mad Donna" figure from necromunda would make a nice addition to a slaanesh army. See for yourself.

Make sure to buy protection as well, you don't k ow what some of those models have.

Is a Herald on Steed absolutely worth it? I can use my psychic power and loci before they get out of range, and the seekers only real job is to tie up things until my full army gets into position. It's basically a gigantic middle finger to shooting armies, especially if I get some fiends to add to the mix.

Isn't immunity to STDs part of the slaanesh cultist benefit package?

No, not really.

I misunderstood your purpose for the Herald, I guess.

Understandable! I may just use the new harp lady for that ridiculously good anti-psyker ability.

FWIW, the way you're planning to run them is almost exactly the same way I run them.

Seekers and Fiends pile in to tie things up, Chariots hit their lines next turn, Daemonettes the turn after that.

Yeah, pretty similar to what i'm gonna be doing. My trial list will consist of seekers/fiends rushing t1 with a follow up of Letter Bomb and Pink Horrors, while Nurgle troops take objectives.
