GROOMING BEARDS? they are khorne berserkers, ain't nobody got time for that shit, thats slaaneshi heresy!

If your beard is not constantly blood encrusted you are doing it wrong.

[pisskop]

even khorne understands that you have to make the sword before you cam stab with it.
.

besides of all chaos gods khorne is the protector of the weak and all that.  he implicitly approves of slaves

[Egan_BW]

Khorne is the Lawful Good corner of chaos alignment, obviously. I genuinely think that if Chaos took over the imperium he would be the bastion of justice and respect for law.

Given the Imperium's obsession with skulls it wouldn't be too hard to make the transition to an Imperator Khorn

[Egan_BW]

He's basically an imperial already, yeah.

[Akura]

The Imperium as a whole is pretty Khornate, what with its constant war economy, general hatred of psykers, and endless unremitting war on all fronts. Space Marines can be as bloodthirsty as Chaos Space Marines sometimes. I wonder if it's a counterbalance to the fact that the Imperium basically got its start from the aftermath of the creation of Khorne's opposite, Slaanesh.

I guess it makes sense that a khorny culture would pick up when doing slaaneshy stuff might make you explode into tentacles.

Interestingly when the Eldar are at their zenith, they create Slaanesh. When the Imperium begins taking over the galaxy, Khorne rises above Slaanesh to become the strongest of the 4. It is entirely possible the Imperium is Khorne's greatest champion

Do orcs give a lot of power per meter to Khorn? Or are they just psychically unsatisfying?

Edit: Also it seems to me that the Imperium as a whole should be more Nurgle aligned. The most interesting and dynamic people places and events would be more Khorn, Tzeentch, or Slaanesh. But the average bog standard uncounted trillionth person seems like death and decay would be their thing more then the others.

Everything and anything a greenskin does goes to Gork and Mork (or Mork and Gork), not to Khorne.

Death from battle is a bit different from death from disease though

...

Hmm, I wonder if clerks and munistorum bureaucrats could count their battle against endless paperwork as Khornate

[Egan_BW]

Depends mostly on how many skulls adorn their desks. So in the imperium, very yes.

The Imperium's activities feed all the Ruinous Powers about equally. Nurgle is as you said, but in particular it's those who have accepted death and decay, who have given into the void and tried to love their place in life. Slaanesh is fueled by the opposite, by the extremism that the Imperium's people sometimes engage in to try and give their lives meaning. Tzeentch is fueled by the rat race, the endless powergames that Imperials play against one another. And Khorne, well...you know the line.

Which Chaos Gods do the vermin of the Imperium of Man worship
I mean the actual, genuine vermin, the rats that cross the stars with mankind and colonize every world man sets foot on. The space rat imperium of ratkind

Hum, interesting. I suppose my view of imperial society is that it's largely stagnant and unchanging, and most peoples lives are within it as well. A world that survives 1000 years in roughly the same state seems one where most people are also not hugely dynamic. A factory worker who works in the same factory making the same bullets that his greatx23 grandfather made, it seems like a life of stagnation that eventually leads to death would be a life for Nurgle on the whole, even though it's certainly going to be filled with points for any chaos god. Accepting the Imperial creed and spending your life as a good cog in the machine seems to be a thing that'd fit Nurgle, but I guess that's not really embracing or consciously accepting it? So maybe it doesn't count enough for Nurgle.

Or maybe my view of how dynamic the average person in the warhammer world is flawed... Potentially worlds do change and shift more then I was aware of and the average was just that, an average. The time scale that the imperium has existed on seems so huge to me though that it's hard for me to imagine places within it as dynamic.
