I'm starting a new AOS army around a theme that I've been wanting to do for a while now around Slaanesh and gold and yellows.
From what I've seen of their new mechanic it triggers off of any wounds taken that don't kill someone, so multiple wound models would be best for that and I've gone along with that mechanic and have no single wound models in the army.

1000 -
Demon Prince
Slaanesh Lord on Demonic Mount
Sorcerer Lord

10 Warriors
10 Hellstriders
5 Knights

At 2000 I'll add in

Chaos Lord of Slaanesh
20 More warriors
Chaos Chariot
5 more knights
2x 10 Marauder Horsemen.

This give me a whole lot of fast units with a tough core supported by a sorcerer.

I have not seen marauder horsemen played.. but they seem like a good choice from first glance?

Any advice or discussion would be great.

Maybe break up the squad of hellstriders into 2x5 just for banners. They don't overlap giving models -2, but it allows you to run a squad of hellstriders with your daemonprince for protection, and allows you to run a second squad with the lord on mount for a -2 against him in combat. These make your lords frustrating to kill.

Marauders would be a good fit if you want to stick mortal. A good conversion I felt was kairic acolytes with some changes to make them slaaneshy.

I noticed no keeper of secrets, which you should add. Even if its not your general, it's damn killy with 6 attacks at a 3/3/-1/2 and 2 attacks at 3/*/-2/d3. I've had opponents concede once it reached the backline. If you wanna shill out for forgeworld, get the exalted keeper. It's a better looking model by far, also its gains 5 more wounds, a 3+ save, 2 spells (which in second edition is going to be a realm spell or when slaanesh finally gets a lore), an extra attack on the 2 damage attack... and 2 more attacks on her sword but a flat 3 damage. Give her a chaos sorcerer as a friend and watch as she tears the enemy apart with rerolling hits of 1, saves of 1, and wounds of 1 (redundant as keepers can already do this),

Splashing in Slaanesh chariots would be good. Exalted chariots when they charge have the chance to do mortal wounds, but a chance to reduce a squad considerably. For each enemy model within an inch of the chariot you get to roll a dice. For each 4+, you get to do d3 mortal wounds.

I think I want to stay all mortal atm - until the new edition drops and I know how summoning will work for them.
I'll push the hellstriders into 2 groups and have them be protectors and have the knights and warriors soak.

I'll start collecting the demons so when I do need some to summon I'll have em.

Fair enough. The only reason I mentioned daemons is Slaanesh has 3 mortal units that are unique to them. I'm hoping for some good units for Slaanesh when we finally get our battletome. I wanted to go more for a ruined royal army theme so if we do get new sculpts and they all look like noise marines and grotesque, i'll be a little displeased. Give me an army of Sigvald looking dudes.

The army I'm doing now are sort of based on Sigvalds mirror guard all gold and pomp.
I'm hoping they have us some special mortal units like they did with the blightkings.
