Hello, I got a question about souping chaos list with proper keyword. Is It possible to use slaanesh as a faction keyword? I've tried searching forum and battlescribe, but have'nt find an answer. Here's a list im building as an example.

Chaos daemons patrol (allied 25%, slaanesh, cost 0cp)
- keeper of secrets (warlord, trait)
- daemonettes (10)
- daemonettes (10)
- daemonettes (10)

Chaos Space marines outriders (night lords, slaanesh, cost 3cp)
- daemon prince (wings, sword, slaanesh, relic)
- legionnaires (5, icon, plasmagun, powersword, slaanesh)
- legionnaires (5, icon, plasmagun, powersword, slaanesh)
- bikers (3, icon, 2x combiplasma, powersword, slaanesh)
- bikers (3, icon, 2x combiplasma, powersword, slaanesh)
- raptors (10, 2x plasmapistol, powersword, slaanesh)

Chaos knights super heavy auxiliary (dreadblade, slaanesh, cost 0cp)
- knight despoiler (gauntlet, sword, stubber, quicksilver throne, relic)

So, is this list legal? Does the knight actually cost 0cp, because it has slaanesh keyword, and it is same as warlord's faction? I wrote in the list the relics and traits, which im going to buy, so it'll start with 0cp.

Edited; the night lords detachment was patrol as mistake, now it's outriders.

As far as I can tell, Chaos Knights Favor of the Dark Gods does not grant Faction Keywords. Thus, you may have a Knight with the Slaanesh keyword, it is not the Slaanesh Faction Keyword like that for Chaos Daemons or Chaos Space Marines.

This means your Knight Detachment only has the Chaos Faction keyword in common with your Warlord's detachment, meaning you must pay full CP for the detachment.

Can you tell me where can I find the rules that does not allow the slaanesh as a faction keyword?

In my list, the knight and the daemons are actually agents of chaos, so they dont restrict using the 'let the galaxy burn'. So, in this case, the list should be legal no matter what, but my concern is do I pay cp for the knight..

From the chaos knights rule. It says keyword, not faction keyword.

CHOSEN BY THE GODS
1CP
Chaos Knights – Requisition Stratagem
Many Chaos Knights who tread the Eightfold Path to Damnation become the chosen champions of the Dark Gods.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army. Select one CHAOS KNIGHTS model from your army that does not have a Favour of the Dark Gods. That model gains one of the following keywords: KHORNE, TZEENTCH, NURGLE, SLAANESH, PANTHEON UNDIVIDED.

Ok, fair enough, thank you guys.
