I think you have an interesting start to the list, but I agree with Time that the daemonettes in 20s may bite you. I'd recommend one 30 and one 10 instead. Blissbarb archers are a bit pricey and you could save cost by either changing them into chaos warriors and using the saved 70 points to upgrade your blissbarb seekers into slickblades (go better in the battalion imo), or swap out the keeper and the epitome for Glutos (summoning in the keeper later and using Glutos for the battleshock immunity spell), but saving 160 points to upgrade your blissbarb seekers again and leaving you with 120 points for maybe some chaos warriors for more objective chaff or a viceleader to follow Glutos around and heal him occasionally. 

To be more inkeeping with your list, the first of those changes is probably the easiest one. I recommend Glutos over a keeper as he's a lot tougher, has a +1 to cast, can cause easy battleshock immunity, is unlikely to be shot to death/being crippled first turn and he does higher damage than a keeper. If you're just bringing a keeper to make something pile in twice, it's usually better to just take two of the unit. I'd personally recommend just summoning in a Keeper turn 2 as it's CA is in the combat phase anyway.

Hope this helps

Thanks for taking the time to have a look and offer some feedback. I have found it quite difficult making a list for this army.  I do favour the mortals somewhat but the points seem to be all over the place when I have tried making some lists. My original purchase was inspired by the below from goonhammer review;

Allegiance: Slaanesh
 - Mortal Realm: Chamon
 - Host: Godseekers Host
LEADERS
Keeper of Secrets (340)
- General
- Command Trait: Speed-chaser
- Sinistrous Hand
- Artefact: Plate of Perfect Protection
- Spell: Slothful Stupor
The Contorted Epitome (210)
- Artefact: Enrapturing Circlet
- Lore of Slaanesh: Hysterical Frenzy
Sigvald, Prince of Slaanesh (260)
Glutos Orscollion, Lord of Gluttony (400)
- Lore of Pain and Pleasure: Dark Delusions
UNITS
20 x Daemonettes (220)
10 x Daemonettes (110)
10 x Daemonettes (110)
BATTALIONS
Supreme Sybarites (150)
ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS
Chronomantic Cogs (80)
Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (60)
Mesmerising Mirror (60)

Glutos is definitely on the cards so maybe I would be better of with running this list with minor tweaks maybe running 3x10 Daemonettes and dropping the mirrors and running 1x Blissbard seekers for a bit of range. could also drop the Keeper and Summon as you suggested but I feel like i wouldn't get the most out of the battalion and without it the drops would be fairly high. seems whatever you run the army is pretty squishy on the whole. In terms of performance do you think this list would out perform my original one (even with suggested changes)?

Thanks again to everyone that has offered feedback

Hi All,

Thought I would jump in on Slaanesh as I love the new models. I was toying with the idea of the list below. Not sure how effective it would be but would be good to get some feedback. I do wonder if I should drop the battalion and use the points elsewhere.
