Corsairs can’t have the Mark of Slaanesh, so can’t take the Rapturous Standard.
Rare Units

To take Daemonettes , your army must include a sorcerer or a high sorcerer. They count as having the Mark of Slaanesh when counting units for the Fear of Treachery rule.
Special rules :
Fear of treachery:
The number of Slaanesh-marked units (characters don’t count) must always be higher or equal than the number of non-marked units.
Gifts of the Dark Prince :
-The Death Mask may not be taken by a marked character.
-The following items, from the Hordes of Chaos book, become available in their respective category to marked units/characters : Whip of Pleasure, Beguiling Gem, Bindings of Slaanesh, Sceptre of Domination, Pendant of Slaanesh, Rapturous Standard.
-A marked character may ride a Steed of Slaanesh, but can’t ride a Manticore since it’s one of Khaine’s aspects.
Exclusive Cult :
A marked character may not join a non-marked unit.
Slaanesh favoured :
A marked sorcerer or high sorcerer must use the Lore of Slaanesh. They still retain their +1 to cast bonus.
Dark Elf Mark of Slaanesh :
A dark elf marked unit/character will be immune to psychology, but will still hate High Elves, and suffer from Cold Ones stupidity.
Malekith and Morathi :
These two are of course exceptions... they can make a chaos-allied army using the regular army list with the following additions (you still need your opponent’s permission to use the modified list) :
-They can give at will the Mark of Slaanesh to the following units : Highborns, High Sorcerers, Nobles, Sorcerers, Warriors, Cold Ones Knights, Cold ones Chariots, Dark Riders. To include Slaanesh units, the army must include at least one marked Dark Elf character. Marked units/characters will follow the special rules from this alternative list : Gifts of the Dark Prince, Exclusive Cult, Slaanesh favoured, Dark Elf Mark of Slaanesh.
-They can invoke Daemonic characters and Daemonettes as defined in the present alternative list, even without a marked sorcerer/high sorcerer.
-Their army can also include 0-1 unit of Chaos Warriors and 0-1 unit of Chaos Knights, both with the mark of Slaanesh, which count as rare units. One of this two units can be Chosen.
-Morathi can use the lore of Slaanesh instead of Dark Magic, but then can't choose her spells. She also only benefits from a +1 to cast instead of +2 if she chooses this lore.
