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

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.

The secret is that it's a trap?

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

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...

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

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

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.

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.

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

Maybe The Holder of Desire or The Master of Lust

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.
