A Chaos Daemon, or simply Daemon (pronounced DEE-mahn), also known as a "Neverborn" amongst the forces of Chaos, is an intelligent and usually malevolent entity of the Warp comprised of purely psychic energy. Despite being one of the four cardinal Chaos Powers and Khorne’s supposed rival in The Great Game, Slaanesh has felt like the neon-haired stepchild of the Chaos pantheon in recent years, even getting tossed into a sack and kidnapped in Age of Sigmar. In most versions of the Slaanesh lists we build, we’ll start with a Flawless Host Lord Discordant (we tend to avoid making him the Warlord though–his double-digit Wounds count make him too easy a target).

This option is outshone by the Soulstealer relic weapon (which you should absolutely windmill slam onto a Keeper), but can be a nice option for a secondary Keeper. Syll’Esske’s 4+ armor save and 5+ invulnerable isn’t great, but as an 8-Wound character, they can be protected from enemy fire by the character rules. Daemonettes seem like a good solution to this – they’re on smaller bases, and in a full Slaanesh detachment can pick up Advance and Charge from the characters, so they’re mobile enough to clear a path when needed. Here what we’re doing is using Greater Possessed to get an additional +1 S buff on the SLAANESH DAEMONS in the Flawless Host detachments, and using the Lords Discordant in tandem to bum rush the enemy lines alongside a pair of Venomcrawlers.

A Seeker of Slaanesh rides to war against the troops of the Astra Militarum atop a Steed of Slaanesh..

I was intrigued by this faction, and thought the models were cool, but realistically it wouldn’t have been reasonable for such an awful player as myself to try building such an army. Although they don’t really measure up to Plaguebearers and Bloodletters, Daemonettes do have a couple of saving graces. As a result, we’ve felt that the new units haven’t quite gotten the recognition or tactical consideration they’ve deserved, and have instead been shunted aside for other, more traditionally dependable daemon factions.

The best options for us at that point are likely to be either the Alpha Legion or Black Legion, though if you really, really wanted to use the Emperor’s Children, it’s not the worst choice (though it’s a clear third). There’s also the default options of a Ritual Knife (0, 1 or d3 Mortal Wounds at the end of Combat, depending on your roll), or a Living Whip (an Assault 6 gun that can shoot like a pistol in combat), but the Keeper is plenty killy already, so you should stick with the Aegis or the Hand as your primary choices for the Keeper of Secrets.

A list that One_Wing put together for our review of the Chaos Knights Codex, this list matches the new Slaanesh Daemons with the new Chaos Knights to provide a one-two punch of insane mid-range firepower from double-gun knights with the close combat prowess and high Movement of Slaaneshi daemons.
