This is my 1500 slaanesh list for some rouge traders and stuff like that. Im in Iraq right now so I dont have the dex, but I think the points are close, any basic input would be appreciated.

Chaos Lord; Paired Lightning Claws; Spiky Bits; Daemonic Mutation; Mark of Slaanesh; Combat Drugs; Daemonic Flight      170

6 bikers w/ 2 meltaguns, MOS, Champ w/ powerfist 280

2x6 marines w/ MOS, 3 sonic blasters, 2 plasmaguns, infiltrate  Champ w/ Fist, Bolt pistol, Mutation    384

1x6 marines w/ MOS, 3 sonic blasters, 2 plasmaguns, infiltrate  Champ w/ Fist, Bolt pistol, Mutation   192

2x12 daemonettes   360

1x6 daemonettes 90

Im not sure if its exactly legal, I cant remember whether or not slaanesh can have plasma and melta and I should be about 24 points short if I figured right, so please leave any comments and any ways to improve.  I think it would have problems with mech eldar and mech tau but it should be able to deal with most infantry armies pretty well I think.  Please let me know.

Peace

Infiltrating slaanesh is a bit risky these days. I'd try bikers if you want a reliable army. Lots of bikers, with lots of meltaguns.

I would say something like, a Lord on a bike with 2+ save chosen on bikes, a squad or two of bikes, a squad of mounted daemonettes and as many daemonettes in troops as you can get.

Non-shootie Slaanesh has no real chance against any mechanized army, particularly skimmers. It's a gimmick at best. Bikers with meltaguns can mitigate it some though.

Hiya Karnage97,

Like the list! Personally I don't understand why Longshot thinks that Infiltrating Slaanesh is risky, but he is right in that you'll have difficulty with skimmers (but you figured that out already) and you could use a Character on a bike and Mounted Daemonettes.

The fact that you'll be having problems with skimmers cannot be helped (except by changing the theme of the list and removing all the fun), but this list will do wonders against a lot of other opponents I think.  

I'll post a list that crossed my mind recently, it is Black Legion, but it'll give you a sense of the direction you could take this. And also it'll give me an example to illustrate some points with.

Prince:    Flight, Stature, Strength, 2 CCW, Pers Icon, MoCU   122

Lieut:      Bike, Meltagun, Dark Blade, Pers Icon, MoCU   125

6 CSM Bikes:   4 Sonic, 2 Melta, Champ w/ Fist, Mutation, Visage, all with MoS, Icon, Skilled Riders      314

6 CSM:   Lasc, Plasmag, Inf, MoCU, Icon   133

6 CSM:   Lasc, Plasmag, Inf, MoCU, Icon   133

6 Daemonettes   90

6 Daemonettes   90

6 Daemonettes   90

8 Furies   120

6 Mounted Daemonettes   168

3 CSM Bikes:   Plasmag, MoCU, Icon    115

1500 points, 55 models, 9 Scoring Units

OK, the points the Lieut that I used is fabulous, him being a Character makes him untargetable in many situations, still he packs a very nasty punch (Bs 5 Melta / Dark Blade). Also, I realy like your lord! I'd give him Infiltrate as well, since he has no Stature. The Slaanesh Bikers I really like, keep them! The Daemonettes? I'm not fond of using them in units of 12. Too big, but also: they still drop like flies to any unit firing bolters or even lasguns at them. Keep them at 6; they still do tremendous damage in CC and if someone gets to shoot at a squad of Daemons: that squad is dead anyway. The fact that there should be no-one shooting at your Daemons brings me to one other unit: Mounted Daemonettes! Get them, get at least one unit. They can go practically ev'rywhere when summoned and tie-up a Devestator squad with ease: with them blocking LOS (Together with your Lord) the Daemonettes can afford to scatter and walk a bit.

In your list the Mounted Daemonettes would also fill a niche. Your are relatively slow after first deployment, I think you need some (more) fast attack choices. I've gone overboard somewhat in the list I've posted, but you get the point.

Hope these pointers are of some help. Good luck with the list. Let us know how you do with it.

Cilithan out...

 

 

Hey karnage, great list, if i may give a suggestion.

I like PFs on my champs as much as the next, but not for EC. The Mark allows you to go before or at least at the same time as most people, might as well use that to your advantage. My champ list is:

MoS, Power Weapon or Lightning Claws, Mutation, Strength, Drugs.

Its alittle pricey but it is deadly. You can go Str 6 with 5 attacks on a charge with a power weapon(or worse a Lightning Claw).

Hey
good points from everyone, the reason I didn't put Mtd Daemonettes in is because I dont know if they'll be allowed in all rouge traders and other such tourneys, but heres a revised list that includes them let me know what you think.

Chaos Lord; Paired Lightning Claws; Infiltrate, Daemonic Mutation; Mark of Slaanesh; Combat Drugs; Daemonic Flight 175

Lieut: Bike, Meltagun, Dark Blade, Pers Icon, MOS 135?

2x6 marines w/ MOS, 3 sonic blasters, 2 plasmaguns, infiltrate Champ w/ Power weapon, daemonic strength, Bolt pistol, Mutation 384

6 Daemonettes 90

6 Daemonettes 90

6 Daemonettes 90

6 Daemonettes 90

6 Mounted Daemonettes 168

6 bikers w/ 2 meltaguns, MOS, Champ w/ power weapon 270

50 models, 8 scoring units 1497 I think, again no dex so Im not positive, any feedback is appreciated
