Help on starting CD + CSM mono-Slaanesh

[CaptainDarius]

I have been away from 40k for a while. I used to play Blood Angles, mostly in 5th and a bit in 6th. I did, however get tired of being beaten up. I think it was a combination of Blood Angels not really being able to cut it, and a good part of me being a crappy player. So I shelved the little red guys, and moved on to other games. But lately I have been hearing whispers in the dark and gaining an interest again. Recently, I have finally succumbed to the whispers of Slaanesh. 

 

I would like to play a combination of Daemons and Chaos Space Marines. I am not totally up to speed on the 7th version. So I don't really know if I should run a Daemons army with marines as allies or vice versa?

 

Nevertheless, from a Daemon perspective I have quite a few Daemonettes, some seekers and something that could do as Fiends. From the CSM perspective I have the Dark Vengeance Chaos Space Marines, which I am trying to paint in a kind of Emperor's Children colours. I also happen to have a sonic dreadnought, which I am not sure is actually useable now?

 

So, in sum this gives me:

 

Daemons:

 

20 (at least) Daemonettes (and some heralds)

5 (at least) seekers

5 Fiends

5-10 Furies

 

CSM:

 

1 Chaos lord

1 Helbrute

1 Aspiring champion

6 Chosen

20 Cultists

1 Sonic dreadnought

 

My aim is for a 1850 points list, which seems to be the default size in my local area. I am not going to play any hard core competitions, but I would like to have a competitive army, so I might win a few games. Also, when Slaanesh whispers I respond, so mono-Slaanesh for me.

 

Of course, I know I would probably have to invest in more plastic. I would obviously prefer to do it as cheaply as possible, but I am open for suggestions - it is Christmas soon. I have been looking at the Crimson Slaughter expansion set, but am not sure if it is helpful.

 

All help will be highly appreciated!

I would thoroughly recommend Bonzi's thread:

Excellent stuff, and it's what inspired my fall :)
