Slaanesh Cult - Modified CSM

Link back to Campaign Page

On a crone world tainted with Chaos by the ancient Fall of the Eldar, Slaanesh is always whispering in the minds of men...

I'll write more lore here eventually with some thematic details of the cult.

But in short, I plan to play this army out of the CSM codex, but.....without any CSM!

It's a cult without any current support from Heretic Astartes (Zelamine and her Crusade will show up in a later phase of the campaign), which presents some limitations: notably, no HQs, almost no vehicles, only two primary thematic units, and eventually a heavy slot vehicle third choice:
 * Cultists
 * Chaos Spawn
 * Defiler eventually, It will look sort of like daemon flesh coming out of a sarcophagus that they might have dug up from an ancient Aeldari Temple of Excess

To fill the HQ role, I propose the following new Data Card:

Cultist Child Possessed by Sorceress Herald
based on Herald of Slaanesh datacard, from Chaos Daemons codex, still HQ slot
 * Change D2 to D1 on claws, effectively giving up her role as a medium melee beatstick in exchange for a second cast and access to the Hereticus discipline
 * Change S4 to S3
 * Already T3
 * Knows & Casts 2 powers instead of 1, from either Slaanesh or Herecticus disciplines
 * Add keywords: Cultist, Emperor's Children, Heretic Astartes, Possessed
 * 70 pts, up from 55 pts (they were 50 at the end of 8th, but they went up to 55 in 9th)
 * Because they're in an all-Slaanesh Keyword detachment, maybe they benefit from the Slaanesh detachment effect, and emit Slaanesh Daemon can advance and charge aura? Or is that too much?

And in order to widen my choice of units to 7, I'd also like to be able to take a few kinds of Corrupted Guerrilla Militia (CGM) units from the Astra Militarum codex. This will give me 3 further unit options for more flavor and diverse battles: All units in the CGM Cult from the AM codex would get no regimental doctrines and no legion traits, would lose their Regiment and AM keywords, and gain the Cultist, Militia, Slaanesh, Emperor's Children, and Heretic Astartes keywords (so they could be targeted by friendly Hereticus spells)
 * Heavy Weapons Teams (Missile launchers and Mortars)
 * Leman Russ Battle Tank
 * Ogryn (I have six models who wouldn't mind a bit of Purple or Pink paint, and may only rarely see service in my Catachan/Tempestus armies)
