Odd choice of name is it not? surely tzeentch would be more into the whole knowledge and secrets thing?

**Kilkrazy**

If we told you, we would have to kill you.

**Zed**

Probably for all the dodgy stuff he has in his basement.

**IvanTih**

Because supposedly he/she can hear everyone of your deepest and dirtiest secret.

**TheCyben**

The previous greater daemon prototype 'Teller of all to the British Tabloids for a Book Deal and a 15-Second Spot on Ellen' was far less popular.

This is correct. Slaanesh knows all your deepest most secret desires & as such has incredible power over those of weak will.

**Morgrim**

Keepers of Secrets not only know what is in your soul, but whisper to you how to make it reality, chipping away at your weakest points until you yield. They won't reveal it to others if it is going to have you killed or damaged in a way not useful for Slaanesh. Tzeentch is less big on secrets and more finding out what isn't known (similar, but not quite the same). Slaanesh is temptation.

Because , its a trap.

You get lured and enticed , then its too late for you!

**Emperors Faithful**

The secret is that it's a trap?

[Mod Edit - THAT picture? Er, no.]

Or is the trap that the Keeper of Secrets is actually Admiral Ackbar?

Must resist.... Oh F it:

**Shadowbrand**

Naughty secrets!!!!

**Lethargic Ulfur**

Wait so who's the bigger trap Tzeentch or slaanesh?

**riplikash**

Just different kinds of traps. Slanneshi girls look like girls, but watch out. Tzenichi girls ARE gilrs, until about halfway through...

**TheCyben**

Slaanesh will drive you insane with pleasure.
Tzeentch will show you the pleasures of going insane!

**The Unending**

Personally I think the Keeper of Secrets should be renamed. I would perfer the name Lord of Blades (see nice and slaaneshi)

Although I could see him being a keeper of forbidden knowledge as in what it feels like to

your

and then put it in a

with a little bit of

Those kinds of secrets

**TheCyben**

I always thought that the daemons of Slaanesh got the worst deal in terms of battle-worthy terror... apart from those lovely daemonettes. Seekers and fiends are not as good as they could be... I'm envisaging stuff like the Cennobites here, agents of pleasure and pain who make the Dark Eldar look like barney the dinosaur. Not that he isn't horrific in his own way...

Then again, there's always these two, if the Prince of Perversion is stuck for daemon ideas...

He's Ole Greg!

**Lethargic Ulfur**

If my army fought against a model that looked like old greg I would stand up stomp on my models and leave. Never look back.

That's not a Slaaneshi name at all. That's much more Khornate.

Slaanesh isn't about war, it's about desire, lust, perversion, excess, passion, and [Mod edit - Seriously?].

But can he see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

**TheCyben**

But Old Gregg has such good stats! AND once per shooting phase he can force any model within 12" to take an LD test - if they fail they have to drink baileys from a shoe, causing d6 s5 hits with no save!

Seriously though, I'm not advocating GW to model any Boosh characters. If they have to pick one, it would have to be Tony Harrisson... but that would be an outrage.

Slaanesh isn't about war, it's about desire, lust, perversion, excess, passion, and tits.

I was thinking more about the asian cultures who "dance" with swords and make an artform (slaanesh is the god of art) out of it (whirling dervishes, xiaolin monks, etc.) but to be honest I know what you mean. Its named the Keeper of Secrets because of the Kind of secrets it knows.

The Keeper of Secrets... man it must get a lot of temptation to tell those secrets every once in a while.

So how about The Excessive Luster or The Lustful Pervert :p

Maybe The Holder of Desire or The Master of Lust

**eldarbgamer13**

cause if you were to fight it, it would tell all of your guardsmen buddies you watch desperate housewives, and you will never be able to show your face in a bar again.....AGAIN!

**Halsfield**

The seducer of souls?

Masteress of pain (master + mistress =p) jk

SoulSiren

etc. I agree that keeper of secrets is entirely better suited to tzeentch and there are plenty of better slaanesh names out there.

Yeah and then when you.................................. what caliber is that cat????

I do the think The Holder of Desire would be a great name. It holds the truth of your deepest desires and whispers them to you slowly eating away at your sanity until you can do naught but give in to the pleasure of pleasures, the excess of excesses, the true god Slaanesh.................... or so I've heard.

**alexwars1**

It's easier to explain "Keeper of Secrets" to your parents than "Penetration Lord."
