Brother Hadafix Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thing is... If I was to fall under one of the 4 powers, I would want in the end to be at least as powerful as they were. Given that Slanesh would ultimately drive you mad enough to seek greater and greater power over the warp, well Tzeench sorc eat your hart out... I am gonna be the greatest!

Senseilord Ashahara Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 As a base mortal without our understanding of the Gods , I suspect that the desire for knowledge and change would lead me to the altar of the Spinner of Fates. And probably to spawnhood in fairly short order. Possibly Slannesh if the right cult got to me first. Thinking about it alittle more (and rereading Fulgrim), am I alone in feeling that Slannesh is the most horifiying of the Ruinous Powers?

Thinking about it alittle more (and rereading Fulgrim), am I alone in feeling that Slannesh is the most horifiying of the Ruinous Powers? I always thought that was supposed to be the point. He's the youngest, and yet already worthy of being counted with the other Big Three (now Four).

Mr. Bleak Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I would have to go with Tzeentch, not becuase of cheming/knowledge, but for sheer magical power. Honestly, hurling pure searing energy and moving things by willl power just appeals to me. That, and Khorne+Slaanesh+Nurgle are all really predictable. Here are their schedules: Khorne: Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill.... Nurgle: Cause Woe and Despair, Cause Woe Despair, Cause Woe and Despair... Slaanesh: Listen to increasingly insane music, listen to increasingly insane music, be unable to find more music, get bored... But Tzeentch: Do whatever the Changer tells me to Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167793-which-chaos-god/page/2/#findComment-1979535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine. Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Khorne isn't just about killing....... It also has burning and maiming attached to it. As well as the thrill of the hunt for more skulls. Edit: But then again Tzeentch can also be predictable if yah have the right mind for predicting it.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 On further consideration, i think Khorne. He is, afterall, the least damning. Tzeentch will eventually turn on you. Nurgle is literally the god of failure, and slaanesh guaruntees a gradual loss of interest in life. But with Khorne, as long as you serve him and collect skulls you will please him. If you are strong enough and do a good enough job he will reward and perhaps even protect you. We know he brought Khârn back atleast once. Khorne is least likely to betray his own followers because they are never dependent on him in the first place. On the other hand, if you are weak you will die quickest serving khorne.

"Expect the most unexpected thing possible, and realize it probably won't happen, since it's unexpected, and you expect the unexpected, and Tzeentch expects you to expect the unexpected. You should also learn to expect that Tzeentch also expects you to expect that he expects you to expect the unexpected, so he's schemed a way to unexpectedly circumvent your expectations of his unexpected expected unexpectable expectancy."

Olgerth Istaarn Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 If you get to choose how you go insane, do you truly go insane then? It would also depend on what your ultimate goal is. Tzeentch, for all his scheming and planning and neverending knowledge is just mashing water in a mortar. No matter how subtle his machinations are, on the grand scale things are forever hanging in the balance, and the best he can do is push it or pull it an inch this way and that. Nurgle is wonderful if you are at the end of your rope. Nothing feels better than spreading your misery around a bit, not even getting rid of the said misery. Slaanesh is like a drug addiction, only worse. First, even a little gets you high, and before you know it, even peeling your own skin off, setting it on fire and eating it doesn't do it anymore. And you'll end up more desperate for satisfaction than you've ever been. I think Slaanesh would be my last choice. Khorne is probably the shortest path to the best approximation of happiness possible in a hostile universe. Orks are the happiest race of all in 40K, and Khornate cultists are probably just as happy. Sure, it's the bloody, insane and murderous kind of happy, but, hey.

mega_marines Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Definitely Khorne here. I enjoy the concept of manipulation, but when it comes don to it all, hand to hand fighting is where it is at. Teh adrenaline and rage, the power and purpose. But for me, I'd be a Chaotic Knight in a way. A roarign incarnation of death on the battlefield, but a more relaxed, but battle-hungry(With a tad bit of sanity!) out of a warzone. Pretty much a Viking; one who loves combat, but knows how to restrain hismelf in a time of calm.

Constantine. Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Slaneesh: Drug Addicted Nymphomaniac Hermaphrodite. Yah always finding ways to better your worship than last time. Either its a bigger enough pleasure fest, or mutilating yourself even worse than before. There is one Slanessh temple that has chains with razor attached to them dangling from the roof to the floor, with a priest who had removed all his skin. So if yah into kinky kinky kinky kinky stuff go for gold. Nurgle: If yah afraid of death then hes your man. Worshiping a God of Plague wouldn't be so bad. If yah hate someone yah cough on them and they would die a horrible painful death. You could be even worse than the worse disease out there. Sure you may look like you rotting and have millions of boils and you insides hanging out for everyone to see, but deep deep deep down inside you wish they would all die. So being a disease ridden rotting image of your former self sounds awesome then sign up for Nurgles army. Tzeentch: Knowledge is infinite, sorcery is the way to enlightenment. Scheming and more scheming, on top of plotting ways to be 10 steps ahead of you enemy. Changing the world to your will and becoming a master of the arts. If yah like spending your times in the library then Tzeentch is right down your ally. Forever studying the arts to further your knowledge. So if yah like to know almost everything and your very indecisive then here is the place to do it. Khorne: MAIM KILL BURN MAIM KILL BURN! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! That pretty much sums Khorne up. If yah one pissed off person that would rather kill than spend quality time with your loved ones then join the ranks. Being blood thirsty and never really quenching that uncontrollable rage is the right thing for you, pick up the closest axe, sword or anything that would chop off the closest idiots head, run out the door and scream "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" Undivided: So yah like being addicted to drugs, diseased ridden, indecisive and really really angry. Worshiping the whole set would also have its perks. You can be all of that and maybe a little bit more. Life would be a little bit more interesting, you could alternate your daily worship. Mondays you could worship Tzeentch, start yah week up by finding out whats going to happen during that week and figure out how you can change it to your will. Tuesday can be another day of Tzeentch but this day is for study. Wednesday you could visit your local hospital and either pick up a new disease or infect more with one of your favourites. Thursday would Slaneesh, you can perform many mutilation rituals while preparing for the next night. Friday the big worship of Slaneesh, the night of pleasure. Pick up a few hookers and gather some friends round and have some <insert naughty things>. At the same time you could also be worshiping Nurgle with the spread of communal disease. Saturday would be a day were you would sharpen and prep you many weapons for you worship of Khorne. Sunday what better day to end the week with The mindless killing of people around you. So if chaos seem like an interesting carrier path, head to your local chaos planet or head to our main office inside the eye of terror. We look forward to working and manipulating you all.

Rahveel Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Nurgle Nurgle to me would offer the ultimate escape. Escape from pain and escape from fear. Also, I appreciate on a fundamental level the entropy of the universe. nothing lasts forever, so why not tear it down to rot now? Sure, the rotting sores and boils are unpleasant to look at, but they would provide no discomfort, and provide plentiful snacks for ones little nurgling pets. Ultimately, it takes a particularly off kilter mind to embrace nurgle. A tough of hysteria, a dash of desperation, far flung ambitions, and an utter loathing of everything you see. Let it burn...... (oh ya, and being resurected as a daemon sounds like a plus too) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167793-which-chaos-god/page/2/#findComment-1990442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'd definately go Khorne. Nurgle: You're practically dead, and bound to have no friends because you'll smell like those guys who basically live in Games Workshop. Slaanesh: Like what everyone else said, you'll eventually need to flip an Interrogator Chaplain the bird to find out if you can feel anything. Tzeentch: You're a puppet - you don't get to decide what happens to you in the end. Oh, and Tzeentch just loves seeing you jumping around and screaming because a tentacle/male sex organ suddenly sprouted from your forehead. I'd go far enough to say that Tzeentch is the most sadistic of the gods. But with Khorne, he basically makes you all crazy and strong and tells you to go chop off some dude's head. Perfect.

I'd go actually go slanesh, what good is living if you can't enjoy ripping off ur skin, burning it and eating it.... Torture would be the thing for me, as I mostly align myself with the dark elf race, the torture would be the key for me.
