As a masochist I'm determined to make Deamons work in 9th. After reviewing the new points, general detachment changes, and the missions I think this is a good starting point. Let me know what you think.

General idea is to really lean into the 9th mission focus. This list essentially forms three "wings" to focus on board control. Middle is always the GUO and PBs. Deal with them, don't, either way is a win for me while I sit and score objective points or take fire away from my killier units. The other two wings essentially split the Tzeentch and Slaaneshi portions with the Slaaneshi portion focused on attacking. The Skullcannons perform the ever important backfield objective and table quarters sitters.

Battalion:

GUO: 270 (exalted)
LoC: 280, impossible robe, warlord, (exalted)
KoS: 240, Aegis (exalted)

30 PB: 295 (full command)
10 Pinks: 80
10 Pinks: 80

5 Screamers: 130
5 Screamers: 130
15 Seekers: 295 (Full Command)

Skullcannon: 90
Skullcannon: 90

Total: 1980

So, with more time with new points and the 9th missions I'm thinking a more hammer and anvil might be better. Let me know what you think

2nd list looks far better. Literally don't want to ignore anything.
