noise marines got bad. Salvo isn't good.
the strength of the slaanesh list is no longer sonic weapons, its the fact that you can make your whole god damn army have FNP.
Salvo weapons behave like rapid fire weapons, meaning that sonic blasters can no longer double tap at 24" and then charge. Now they double tap at 12" and don't charge. The strongest part about being a noise marine was that you were better than a vanilla marine in every conceivable way- You BP+CCW with a storm bolter, more firepower when you -did- stand still, the doom siren made marines cry, and everyone was faster than a normal marine. they were a step up from a nilla marine in every possible way.
Now that they're salvo, they're no longer the HOLY SHIT NO BRAINER cult marine they used to be.
the strength of slaanesh is in the whole army getting FNP, the demon prince getting fleet and rending, the ability to go first with everything in melee, and the best in class psychic powers. Even the power that buffs sonic weapons is good by itself, without even buffing sonic weapons.
Nurgle is good on the merit of plague marines, who remain the best cult marines that only got better.
certain units are also obvious choices for MoN- obliterators are naturally default to MoN. No brainer.
Nurgle bike lords are also expensive. the bike lord himself will be around ~160-180 depending on wargear, but more importantly, he needs a squad of bikes to go with for look out sir wounds.
A flying DP with a black mace will probably cause just as much carnage and be just as resilient, provided you aren't a retard and don't leave him where skyfire weapons or rail guns can get him. (The DP's smash rule overrules the black mace's AP4)
