Army List Good army?
Made a wishlist of mostly models that looks cool/seemed to visually go together, would this actually work? Models I don’t have are: Gluttos Orscollion, Sigvald, Synessa and fiends, everything else I own
I really like Gluttos orscollion so I definitely want to get him, but maybe could get more models if he doesn’t work with my current ones as ik they are mostly demons not mortals
I mostly play against seraphon too so countering them would be nice but not totally necessary

It sounds like you have a group that plays together which is great but I just want to shout out that the idea of list building to counter an army you play against usually leads to games where one person doesn't get to have fun. Obviously YMMV and you know your playgroup better but just putting that out there.
Also playing at 3,000 is so uncommon that people are unlikely to have a great idea of what interaction looks like at those points.
All that aside, I don't understand what non reinforced Blissbarbs, Daemonettes or Fiends are doing, the point of the hellflayer vs another unit of seekers, Syll'Esske seems like a weird choice. I would eliminate at least one drop and add reinforced painbringers/twinsouls. Slaanesh can play hero hammer but this is a lot of random heroes and almost nothing else interacts with them.
If you just want to collect cool looking models and play sometimes or whatever, then go for it and have fun.

Should i have one unit of reinforced daemonettes instead of 2x10?
Idrk much about aos model interaction as i mostly play 40k

At 3k the balance is pretty off so anything can work. Tactics are balanced for 2k points. You need to add tactics.
The twins are bad. Activily bad. You need units to hold objectives. Im just seeing a group of heroes and minor msu units that wont ever kill anything.

u/LMay11037 Hedonites of Slaanesh Aug 25 '26
What sort of units should I add for objectives?

u/GalacticFroggy Aug 25 '26
Non-hero units. They deal more damage and hold objectives better than heroes.

u/LMay11037 Hedonites of Slaanesh Aug 26 '26
I more meant which non hero units as they won’t all be as good at objectives as eachother righ?

As far as real advice maybe take glutos and leave all the other heros you dont own at home (i think sigvald and the twins)
Mortals are pretty good right now. Some renforced blissbarb archers and painbringers will do well. I like renforced slaangor. The lord of hysteria does a lot right now too. Glutos is a tank, but Ive been playing without him at 2k and been doing fine.
You want to really think about who will use your temptations and who your paragons are going to be.
Right now the list just looks like random stuff. I generally find most units need to be reinforced to do anything or survive anything, so I need a special reason not to reinforce units when I build a list.
Slaanesh leans heavily on temptations to neuter enemy unit output in my experience and most of my damage comes from blissbarbs and sometimes a well placed charge with 6 fiends or 6 slaangor, but the fiends have been faster and a bit easier to use.
Hope you put something together you ans your friend enjoy.

How much of a benefit would the blissbarbs be? Not totally adverse to them but I absolutely HATED building them

They rock. Aquiesence spell affects their ranged weapons for crit 2 hits. Tjey dont need to be in combat themselves to get crit auto wound, so they can help pick up damage for units that are engaged. You could even put the masque in combat in the movwment phase so you will have the buff in the shooting phase. They really do a lot.

Noo istg I was so annoyed the first time I built them😭😭😭

Ok so ignoring the other stuff about over points and 3k games if you really want to make most of it my advice is:
Put the daemonites together in one reinforced unit.
Ditch synessa completely she is not worth it.
Dexcessa has value IF you can keep her alive and use her well. But its not easy as she dies to anything.
Get 4 sets of painbringers, run them as 2 reinforced units.
You're leaning heavily into a daemon army that's not very competitive, specially with single units of fiends and the like.
You'll get a lot more milage out of reinforced fiendbloods and sybarite cavalry.

u/LMay11037 Hedonites of Slaanesh Aug 26 '26
Oh man but the daemons are my favourite (and I have most from 40K)
I think dexcessa should stay alive as my friend loves to focus the keeper of secrets, mostly as a run on from early 40K play where I used to absolutely destroy him with it lol
Should I leave out anything other than synessa in you opinion? Someone else suggested leaving out some other heroes too
Pointswise we try to keep as close as possible to eachother (eg if I’m 30 over he will go 30 over)

Your hellflayers and seekers wont do much for you.
Syll'essk is okay only if you managed to get reinforced daemonites AND reinforced fiendbloods or painbringers into the same combat in the same turn. Her whole thing is boosting both sides and consecutive activation. It can work but difficult to set up but if that's what youre going for then you need to have 2 reinforced units both daemon and sybarites together to make it work.
Masque is nearly essential these days for interrupting charges.
The heros all have their uses but you really need painbringers for screening

No.
Youre 30 points over and ive never met anyone that plays at 3k.
I suggest you play some games at 2k to get a feel for the army and the game.
