Given how Slaanesh was 'born' from the dark acts of the Eldar, it leads me to wonder if that wasn't also the case for the other three as well, far in the distant past. There was some fluff floating around that if the Emperor ever dies, there's a good chance that a new Chaos God would be born from humanity the same way Slaanesh rose from the Eldar.

Can you really consider Slaanesh a human-centric space god though? Yes, the other gods were created/born during some of the darkest times of humanity _{which sorta implies that all of the other alien races aren't as special/warp-favoured but whatever} however Slaanesh was created by the Eldar partying way too much. And if I remember correctly he/she/it gets first dibs on their souls if they die. Which is why the Eldar use soulstones to keep their souls safe. And the Dark Eldar... Don't give a shit or something? I don't know, my WH40k lore is pretty rusty. But to me Slaanesh seems to be connected to the Eldar than to the Empire.

While the Eldar created Slaneesh, in truth, Chaos loves humanity more. It's humanity's existence that will lead to Chaos' ultimate victory, because as a species we feed all the Chaos Gods with our habits, prejudices and failings. And our inability to control ourselves is what will eventually fuel Chaos to the point where it will consume all of reality.

Put another way....Chaos is humanity's biggest fan.



(Shocked no one has yet made a gif of "I'm a fan of man!" from that movie.)

Slaneesh is the god of party hard.
We should really have a WH40k thread, btw.

There are several. One here, one in GD as well.

If I remember correctly, canonically the rest of the chaos gods were created by events in humanity's past. So Khorne was born/formed during the Mongolian invasions, Nurgle during the Black Death and Tzeentch during... Actually I have no idea how Tzeentch how formed. And some quick research shows that I was only half-correct, but whatever.

Ah. That... makes a ton of sense, actually. Which is a bit weird coming from WH40k, but whatever. I'll take what I can get.

Also the thread we are currently in probably counts too. Since Chapter Master is pretty full of lore.

Tzeentch = Change. Thanks, Obama

[Frumple]

Tzeentch = Change. Thanks, Obama

Tzeentch is the chaos god of hope. Change just happens to be a major component of that

[Robsoie]

While many perceive these motivations as healthy, wholesome, and perhaps even necessary to mortal existence, Tzeentch, the Great Conspirator, works to corrupt the aspirations and ambitions of Mankind and xenos alike, and to leverage these hopes and dreams for his own nefarious ends.

According to wiki Every single life taken in anger increases the Blood God's power

Guess inquisition would like a couple words with the angry marines chapter.

Hope, change, wizardry, ambition... He has a broad portfolio.

Back to the game itself: after a few failed attempts to lead the Lamenters, I seem to have hit a sweet spot. I deployed my forces on a planet with a small Ork infestation. Every turn about 350 of them attack me, get killed, reducing their presence level, which goes back up a turn later. Then the cycle repeats.

For a penitent chapter, such a source of enemies is a blessing. Several of my Astartes already qualify for promotions to Terminators and such, but I don't have the gear and can't ask Mechanicus for it. Do I need better relations or what? I can't see any way to increase my disposition with them, but their fleet is headed my way...

You need better relations. Just gift em a few artifacts.

I thought the three main Chaos Gods were formed in the War of the Ancients? Between Necrons and the Ancients?

[DJ]

Well we've just established that Obama getting elected was the cataclysmic event that spawned one of them.

[krisslanza]

I wish I could lead a Chapter of the Sisters of Battle...
