However, considering this is a Slaanesh army its other ability is very handy and army-wide impacting. This army is already very fast, with already many movement boosting abilities but add in the extra movement the Cogs can give you and have the ability to realistically be pulling of mass first-turn charges. Sure it gives it to your opponent as well, but that is why you make it your goal to tie them up in combat first now isn't it.		*A very interesting little spell.

However, if they roll any one when attacking with said weapon, they instantly die. Avoid using it on stuff that gets re-rolls and it'll give your opponents headaches. The Keeper itself re-rolls to-wound rolls of 1. Also the only wizard in the hosts (along with the Forgeworld Exalted KOS), who can cast and dispel one spell per phase. His exclusive spell has you roll 2D6 and every enemy unit within 6" whose bravery is lower than the result takes D3 mortal wounds. This is... Pretty weak, especially against other daemons or Death where everything is bravery 10, but it can occasionally be useful against low-bravery armies. Most of the time, stick to arcane bolt for dealing damage. This is all made up by his command ability, which allows any unit of Slaanesh Daemons to pile and attack twice during the next combat phase. This is ridiculously strong and there is absolutely no wrong target when using this - just target whichever unit is engaged with the thing you want dead. (this is a bit of a lie: don't target something that will die before getting to attack the second time). Note: you can target hellstriders (or the mounted lord of Slaanesh) with this, as they have the '''Daemon''' keyword. Note: the Keeper of Secrets has been reduced in cost by 20pts to 260pts for matched play in the Generals Handbook 2018, making him slightly better.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-keeper-of-secrets-en.pdf Keeper of Secrets]:''' This guy/gal is FAST (14" at full wounds, down to 6" when almost dead) and pretty killy, although fragile, and has a few nifty abilities, the most hilarious of which is the possibility to bribe an enemy '''HERO''' into gaining up to 6 attacks (your opponent chooses how many) on any of their weapons.

In addition, you get two spells per turn as opposed to the KOS's one per turn. The Exalted KOS's ability allows you to pick a HERO within 3", allowing that Hero to re-roll hit rolls of 1 in the combat phase; then at the end of the phase, you can roll a dice for the HERO and on a 6, that HERO is slain. Finally, the Command Ability for the Exalted KOS allows a unit to immidiately pile in and attack for second time, as opposed to the normal KOS command ability allowing the unit to be chosen twice in normal turn order. Incidentally, the Exalted KOS cannot reroll 1's to wound like a normal KOS. Go figure.

The Masque moves 10" and trades the regular herald's abilities for a crappy additional attack, +1 to her save, and some very, very annoying powers. First off, you roll a die at the beginning of each combat phase: each time one of your opponent' to hit rolls matches the die's result when targeting the Mosque, the attack fizzles. This is very hit-or-miss and can either make you ridiculously tough or be absolutely useless. Her second ability allows her to re-roll failed hit rolls if her move characteristic matches her opponent's, and also re-roll to wound if is greater. With a move of 10" and her last ability, you'll often be rerolling both: enemy units that start their turn within 12" of her halve their movement. yes, halve. Either use her as a suicide bomber to glue your opponent down or as a support unit to prevent enemies from retreating.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-the-masque-of-slaanesh-en.pdf The Masque of Slaanesh]:''' One of the best trolling units there is.

 The various armies dedicated to the God Slaanesh. Slaanesh armies more so than the other chaos armies favour speed and speedy assaults to outmanouver their enemies. They are not as durable as Nurgle's armies or outright strong as Khorne's but make up for it with both speed and sheer number of attacks. Also luckily they have a range of new tricks they can pull thanks to of the general's handbook (they are currently the only god-specific army to not have a battletome, though this will likely change sooner or later).

	*'''Using the hosts as support:''' Other than what has already been said (USE THE LORDS IN A SLAVE TO DARKNESS ARMY, DO IT), what the hosts bring are terrifying speed, lots and lots of melee attacks (which chaos is good at in general) and impressive tarpit-munchers in the form of chariots. If you want to use them as support, do it for an army which has trouble with tarpits or speed, such as Nurgle. Hellstriders both get stronger against tarpits and are good Warmachine hunters, seekers can and will kill that one unit on the other side of the board which you want dead, and even a single exalted seeker chariot is a very effective tarpit-killer that will not disappoint you.		*'''Using the hosts as support:''' Other than what has already been said (USE THE LORDS IN A SLAVE TO DARKNESS ARMY, DO IT), what the hosts bring are terrifying speed, lots and lots of melee attacks (which chaos is good at in general) and impressive tarpit-munchers in the form of chariots.
