Strong pink is one of those unnatural colors that you cannot really mix that easily. The Slaaneshi pink can be mixed from the old Warlock Purple, which is pretty much just pure magenta, by adding some white. If you don't have that at your disposal, the closest thing is some mix of red and blue with white added, but the result will most likely be a pale purple instead. You'll need to use primary colors of red and blue to get enough color intensity (ie. no gory reds or teracotta or greyish blues). but I doubt you will get the vibrant results you are looking for unless you got a real magenta color to work from.

I used the old Tentacle Pink plus Leviathan (Purple) Wash for the Chaos Marine models on this page:

The LatD models (e.g. Chimera's) were Vallejo Game Color Pink with Leviathan Purple Wash (I finished my Tentacle Pink pot during that project... sniff...).
