@Brother Mayhem I tried a double keeper list and wasn't a fan. Too CP hungry, and keepers are just less efficient on offense than other stuff.

For example, a keeper activation with hand will do an average of:

3.17 mortals

4.44 rend 2

4.11 rend 1

Meanwhile, 5 slickblades deal an average of:

2.22 mortals

8.89 rend 1

5.56 rend 0

Against a save of 4+ the keeper will do 9.61 unsaved wounds while the slickblades will do an average of 10.93 unsaved wounds. Considering the slickblades are cheaper by 140 points I know which I'd prefer!

For 140 points, you get 2 spells, 2 denies, an artifact, a general trait, an attack twice command ability, a locus, the ability to heal, an additional model to use generic command abilities from, a unit that you can summon reinforcements from, a unit that can potentially generate D3 depravity in any of the 3 hosts, and something that can potentially hop screens if given the ability to fly.

Funny thing about the new FAQ is that they forgot to update the Soulfeaster's warscroll, which still says it can be summoned for 30 Depravity.  Hopefully they'll fix that before someone decides to abuse it.
