So far so good, and having demons for chaff could be useful and lore-flavourful. I really hope we get to see more renders soon.
Although, if he says that the renders are legionaries, it kinda seems weird for the 1st head they showed, which feels very noise-marine. Yet, being inspired in the classic codex art, which depicted a normal Slaaneshi marine and not a noise marine per se, it would still make sense, I guess.

If the "classic codex art" is the Adrian Smith piece, then that was from a time when Slaaneshi Marines and Noise Marines were synonymous.

It wasn't until the 2012 Codex that there were (rules wise) Slaanesh marked Chaos Marines that weren't Noise Marines. (Though the 2007 Codex had Icons which essentially did the same thing, if the Icon was lost so were the benefits of the mark.)

So the rumoured "EC Legionaries" may just be classic Noise Marines, and "Noise Marines" a new take (more similar to the Fabius Bile series, than the actual unit in past codexes).
