As the title indicates, this army is going to be all-female.  I must admit that most of my army selections were based on the models I want to convert rather that purely on effectiveness, but I'd still like to get a feel for how this army may preform from my experienced bretheren.

Tactically, the idea is to present my opponant with no targets to shoot at the first couple of turns.  Deep Dtrike and Infiltrate are always in use where I play, and we use a lot of terrain to hide behind, so it should be easy to hide everything during setup.  The Infiltrating squad with demonic speed will be riding a wild assortment of demonic beasts (slaaneshi steeds, unicorns, bears, cold ones, etc.), while the squad with Demonic Flight will have a wild assortment of demonic wings, (mechanical, butterfly, feathers, etc.)  Both those squads infiltrate close but out of LOS and use their proximity and speed to pounce on the enemy very early on.  The bikes will be converted to be somewhere between Star-wars style speeder bikes and Pre-heresy style marine speeder bikes, and will start hidden then use their turbo-boost to get into position to summon demonettes on turn 2 and then go tank hunting.  The Terminators use the teleport homers to land where they are needed most, either tank hunting or squad hunting, depending on the situation.

A quick note on Gift of Chaos.  The way the army gains new "recruits" is by transforming captured enemy soldiers into female bodies, and then subjecting them to the pleasures of Slaanesh until they become hopelessly addicted, serving alongside their former enemies to feed their addictions.  So, the "Spawn" models that I'll be creating with Gift of Chaos will be a female model surrounded by pieces of armor and wargear.  It will be made to look like the model was changed into a female, then her former armor fell off her smaller body and landed around her.
I think it will be very fun to remove my opponant's chaplain and replace it with a female model with pieces of marine armor fallen all around her.  I can imagine myself saying, "Hey, remember Chaplain Lazarus?  Well, now, she's my Lord's new slave-girl.  She's learning all sorts of new skills."  That should elicit a fun reaction from my opponants.

Let me know what you think. 

Your background seems to closer to a LatD army, then Emperor's Children. I do like the whole "recruiting" background - very original. I really like the idea of Chaos Spawn being totally "normal"-looking, especially in a Slaaneshi army where everyone else is crazily mutated. It always makes you wonder what's under the surface...

Tactically, it seems to be a fairly well balanced army.

     Yowza!  Now that's Gift of Chaos ... and nothing says T5 W2 Sv3+ like a naked chick surrounded in busted armor

On the list, it looks quite solid and lots and lots of fun!  Those Chosen will hit hard, and MoS means they'll be rending away those fists and power weapons before they can hack them up back ... Really only worry is having those Chosen shot to bitz, but if you've got the cover to infiltrate into first turn charge range then looks like you're (mostly) golden.

Modeling should be a blast, and I'm looking foward to how you do your chosen mobs, as well as female terminators!  Exciting stuff, I expect pi

Oh, just realized, when you spawn enemies into nifty nekkid spawn girls, they're going to slow you're speed chosen way down, right?  Hounds move as their owners, but do spawn?  Could be a tactical stumbling block to keep in mind ...

That's a good point. I'll have to jsutify that somehow. Maybe model the base so that it has swirling fire coming up all around it. That should do the trick.

Another good point. Spawn will slow down the unit, so I'll have to make sure that I don't use it if I'm going to need that speed later on. If, however, there are four or five other enemy units nearby to fight in HTH combat afterwards, then I'll spawn away.
