Summary
We are talking about the Emperor’s Children here so fundamentally, the list shoots. The Noise Marines, Havocs, and the Defilers, set up a gunline to deal quickly with enemy threats (with direct or barrage fire) while the Daemon Prince and the Possessed advance to take distant objectives supported by the Deamonettes.

If mid-field objectives are needed, the Noise Marine and Havoc squads are fully capable of advancing while laying forth torrents of sonic weapon firepower.

The squad sizes are small (6), so there is an aspect if brittleness to the army. The Mark of Slaneesh makes the squads fearless however, so even crippled squads will lay down fire until they are completely wiped.

In assault situations, the Noise Marines are no slouches as they are equiped with the MoS and frag grenades, meaning they generally go FIRST against defenders in cover even if charging. The power weapons on the ACs really come in handy there.
