Help with StD list building
Want to make a Mark of Slaanesh focused list but wondering what people have had success with in this current tome with this mark and what units and sub allegiance people have had the most success with?

The Slaanesh mark honestly is not as good as the others. Not that it's bad, but others are more optimal. The big problem, in my opinion, with that mark is that you're only able to use one ability triggered from any single dice roll. So with Chosen for example you would have to choose between either 2 hits or a MW and a hit. Plus exploding 6's is pretty much on par statistically with a +1 to hit. And there are MANY ways to reroll run and charge rolls in the current tome.
But, if you really want to use Slaanesh, lean into the strengths. Knights with Lances want to charge, same with the Krackerjack and Chariots. Sorceror Lord for full offensive rerolls and the beautiful Oracular Visions, Darkoath Warqueen/Chieftain for the Aura, and all of the Marauders who absolutely will get into combat with a frankly absurd 8" minumim charge. 11" with the Warqueen. With rerolls.
I'd also go Ravagers. Let's you move the reroll run/charge bonus around to wherever it's needed, and the summoning is very handy.
