Made of Win.

and as long as they don't notice its covered in boobs it will be okay

I always wondered why the Tyranids ended up with a unit called the "Dominatrix" and not Slaanesh.

Thanks.
Mind if I sig that?

Sarsori:

Because the Tyranids have a domination theme going while the theme of Slaanesh is corruption and perversion.

LOL!!!

I do get the concept of the name "Keeper of Secrets" but I still think there are plenty of better names.

Fixed that typo for you.

I figured Keeper of Secrets would be a better name for the Lord of Change... as they are all sorcerors and schemers.

Then we can call Slaanesh's chosen somthing more fitting - Harbinger of Lust, Supreme Boobmeister, Soulraper etc...

Tzeentch is the god of change though, so the name makes sense.

Slaanesh gets in your head because it knows everything about you.

We're not saying KoS is a better name than Lord of Change for the tzeentch greater daemon, but I do think there is a better name out there for the slaanesh greater daemon than keeper of secrets. Slaanesh's daemons may pluck secret desires/wishes from the minds of mortals to entrance them or bend them to their will, but tzeentch does the very same thing and has a broader spectrum of secret knowledge to use to his advantage. Slaanesh's GD should be named after something specifically within Slaanesh's domain which is more about fulfilling pleasure in all of its forms than using secrets imo(which is more of a means to an end for slaanesh).

Tzeentch knows everything about everything though(past, present, and future) and uses that knowledge to string along mortals or give them what they most desire in exchange for service, etc. It just isn't specific enough to make a good name.

Actually, that's not true. Tzeench plans for everything (past, present and future). He doesn't actually know for certain what's going to happen, becuase if he did he wouldn't need so many different plans.

Yeah. Only Fateweaver truly knows what the future holds. And he's batgak crazy.

No, you screwed it up. I've put it back to the correct form. Go read some background material.

he/she/it perfers its victims to be dominant

O'no you found the "Secret"

Yes, the kind of 'secret' that a seven-foot tall 'lady' with stubble and an adam's apple is keeping hidden... urg!

Elf Spanker is a great name for it, though... either that, or the name of a very, very dodgy daemon weapon.
(take a st5 helping of buttock damage, pointy ears!)

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.

its .1337 caliber

You need an upgrade...

You need lasercat!

Yes, you're right, until the dreaded 'My Turn!'

What goes around comes around.*ahem* But enough on that...

In Codex: Chaos Daemons the Palace of Slaanesh is surrounded by six concentric domains, from outer to innermost the circles of Avidity, which traps the unwary with greed, Gluttony, which traps the unwary with hunger, Carnality, which traps the unwary with lust, Paramountcy, which traps the unwary with doubt, Vainglory with pride, and Indolency with idleness.

In each case the domain appears beautiful and inviting, but hides a terrible secret the knowledge of which visitors are tempted to discover.

The Keepers of Secret firstly keep their own hideous natures secret "with supernatural allure". They weave "spells of misdirection and mystification, it leads the weak to their doom and sends the strong on fools' errands. It invades the thoughts and senses of its enemies, it penetrates their every defence, sending them visions of glory, titillating their egos, caressing their inner desires to lead them astray. There is nothing more satisfying for a Keeper of Secrets than to corrupt a warrior of pure heart and noble intent, turning his quest for glory into a sacrifice upon the altar of Slaanesh's perverse will."

They are about what is false, misleading, and untrue. In a word, secrets. Thus is Slaanesh truly the Prince of Chaos, the first among the unreal, the unformed, and the empty.

Oh never mind
