    Simple.... choose your TWO favourite Chaos gods.

    Based purely on fluff / lore / aesthetics / cool factor. (pay no heed to rules or gaming power levels)

    Khorne/Tzeentch

    Khorne because his conflicting beliefs makes him more deep than I once thought. Khorne and his disciplines believe killing enemies that have no hope of fighting back, tarnishes their honor, of which they highly regard. So i suppose it's not that ironic a pacifist like me supports them :D.

    There's also, again, that reverence towards honor, and i think it contrasts rather nicely with their bloodthirstiness. It makes the idea of writing about them enjoyable.

    Tzeentch because ravens and other birds :p

    Gah, hard to decide.

    I am a sucker for the classic devil look in Daemons, so Khorne gets the first vote. What I don't like is that they seem very one-dimensional lore-wise. Not much there other than BftBG and SftSK and violence.

    Slaanesh is my least favorite (although I understand it well), I just don't like the style of the stuff. Except the mounts of the Daemonettes which are cool.

    And Nurgle - while intriguing with all the happy followers and that antithesis to natural life cycles - does not please me aesthetically.

    Tzeentch is pure Chaos, which is both bad and good. I am a sucker for symmetry so many of the miniatures with third arms and stuff just hurt my eyes.
    ...but then that's also what I like about them. It is basically like a nightmare come to life.

    So I voted Khorne/Tzeentch.

    Tzeentch and Nurgle for me. I love the whole “Grandfather” aspect of Nurgle and how hilarious the models are (particularly the Nurglings) but when it comes to the actual aesthetics of the models I’m not so keen. Tzeentch probably has my favourite models, and would probably be the army I would collect if I did go Chaos. Plus, you can’t beat a bit of constant scheming and plotting for the sake of plotting! :p

    That's an easy one for me - Khorne and Tzeentch all the way!

    Tzeentch because the Lord of Change and Tzaangors look great (not so keen on the Horrors, but I like all the avian stuff)

    Khorne because the Bloodletters are the classic demons that everyone knows and hates, but with a twist in that rather than just being generic embodiments of everything bad, they specialise in exacting violence and, well, chaos!

    Also, personally I'm not a fan of Nurgle's disgusting diseases or Slaanesh's perverted hedonists.

    What does Khorne have to do with dragons? (this might be an AoS thing I am unaware of)

    Tzeentch on the other hand has Galrauch, the first of the Chaos Dragons.

    For me it's an easy choice.

    Not vote:
    I find Khorne to be boring and mono-dimensional, even if it's THE quintessential deamon (also in aesthetic)
    Slaanesh is nice…. pleasure is one of the strongest pulsion and i can well see a soul damned because of that. But i'm not in love with the models.

    Votes:
    Tzeentch is one of them: visually is simply great, and anyway i like the secret / forbidden knowledge part, even if they abuse with the whole thing "it was just planned all along". That is boring.
    And Nurgle is just fun. :D

    I enjoyed fighting them, but I wouldn’t pledge myself to nurgle.


    I’ve already pledged myself to the memes!
