So I had a fun idea for a list and wanted help making this break. The point is to stack MASSIVE bravery penalties and then trigger battleshock tests at massive penalties to multiple units which then triggers furies/harpies to eat additional models.

Best I can find is a theoretical -7 Bravery followed by 2 dice rolled per fled model, one being a 4+ additional model dies, one being 6+ additional model dies. I know this is hard countered by inspiring presence but you only get so many cp a turn.

The list: 2000pt GA Chaos from Shyish

Leaders:
Chaos Lord On Manticore (terrifying presence for -1 bravery Aura, mark of slaanesh for an additional -1 bravery Aura, banshee blade) [General]
Chaos Sorcerer Lord On Manticore (caster)
Be'Lakor (melee beast, has 2 spells per turn to get out the endless spells, heals on battleshock)

Battleline:
3x Unit of 5 chaos warriors

Other:
2x Unit of 5 Furies (4+ eat additional models)
2x Unit of 5 Harpies (6+ eat additional models)
2x Unit of 5 Chaos Knight's (-1 bravery aura)
3x Unit of 1 Khorgorath (-1 bravery auras)

Endless spells:
Purple Sun (-1 bravery aura)
Gnashing Jaws (-1 bravery aura)
Gravetide (-1 bravery aura)

Why not go straight up Slaanesh? Keep with the manticore lord and brave-bomb the crap out of them with the multitude of Slaaneshi-influenced bravery negaters.

Would you not get farther with slaves to darkness.

Lord on manticore, + terrifying presence + helm of the oppressor + knights is already -5 bravery.
Add endless spells and you are at -8...

In any case... With that many endless spells I would at least add another caster. You do not want to put all you eggs in one basket.

I looked at slaves to darkness but you'd lose the harpies/furies and those are massive boosts to battleshock damage. I did find a slightly better way to do it though. 1 more spell per turn and the potential for -10 bravery.

Chaos Lord on Manticore (mark of slaanesh for -1 bravery, terrifying presence for -1 bravery)
Drazhoath The Ashen (spell does d6 mortal wounds and -1 bravery, can cast 2 spells)
Arch warlock (2 spells/turn)

5 chaos warriors (to hold a deployment side objective)
10 ungor (cheaper and more bodies)
10 ungor (cheaper and more bodies)

2x Unit of 5 knights (-1 bravery)
1x Khorgorath (-1 bravery)
2x Unit of 5 Furies (4+ kills additional model for every one fled)
1x unit of 5 Harpies (4+ kills additional model for every one fled)

Chaos War Mammoth (-2 bravery)

Purple Sun (-1 bravery)
Gnashing Jaws (-1 bravery)
Gravetide (-1 bravery)
