Slaanesh army

Interesting list - looks like its going to be a bit starved for CP, though.  I take it you are using the current warzone rules where you have to pay for your first relic and warlord trait?

In terms of legality, it a looks like you are trying to use the Agents of Chaos to keep your Legion rules - unfortunately, you have taken too many demons to be able to do that - you can only take 25% or less in CP (even if balancing forces based on points, not CP) of your force as demons to benefit from Agents of Chaos (which would be 25 CP or less).

I'm a Slanneshi player, but have limited playtime under the new codexes - 2 games as Chaos Knights, 1 as Marines and 0 as demons, but from my limited experience:

1.  The Mark of Slannesh upgrades are generally not worth the points.

2.  I'm not a fan of Sonic blasters - they just don't seem to do enough to be worth the points.  Blastmaster, on the other hand, is great.

3.  The Legionaires look like they are intended as a close combat squad - if you have the points, consider taking an icon (its cheap), the big chainaxe and a fist on champion (as EC ignore the biggest drawback of a fist)
