I really really love the Keeper of Secrets model and I want to run multiple in my otherwise CSM army. The question is at what point do I reach the critical mass of target saturation? I assume 2 would be too few to bet on them surviving getting into melee but would 3 be enough or should I go full ham adding Shalaxi as well?

Follow your patron god and be excessive.

Of course! I feel stupid for even thinking of doing less xD

don't forget forge world also has a keeper, with its own rules. So you can have 7 keepers, but I would probably stop at 6 to appease Slaanesh

That sound hillarious but at that point I don't think I could fit much else into the list

Problem is that except KoS there is not enough good units in slaanesh mono faction.

I;d wait for new PA and only after that thinkg about new buys

you can always go for the supreme command detachment, you don't need to add any other deamons

mono slaanesh has some of the best options in the chaos demon codex.

Contorted epitome,
Syll'esske,
fiends,
Exalted chariots,
Kos,
Shalaxi.

Well, just one.
Everything else would be blasphemous.

If you ever take Keeper of Secret. Take 3 of them, AND 3 Slaneesh worshipping Discord lords. You need enough target saturation to cross the difference of being shot off the board Turn 1, and wiping your your enemy in hand to hand combat.

3 Keepers of Secrets, and 1 Shalaxi Hellbane.

Oooh thanks for this, much help.

It depends on how many secrets you want to put away.
