Oh, and Alexander's empire wasn't the largest in history. That title belongs to the British Empire.

Re-read what I wrote. He conquered the largest empire in history with unprecendented speed. I guess I should have put in the cavaet "The Persian Empire was the largest Empire up until that point". What took 2 Centuries for the Achaemenids to build, Alexander conquered in less than 15 years. That is how he earned the title "The Great". It wouldn't be until Napoleon that another European conquered such a large territory in such a short time.

Also, no, not everyone was a Murderous Thug in the manner of Alexander. The person I'm quoting from directly compared him to Epaminondas, who was a liberator and and did not slaughter his way to victory.

HHitler was not a warrior, he WAS a trickster, a schemer, a politician and a coward. Khorne would never even give him the time of day.

Actually, what most people don't know about Hitler is that he WAS a warrior. He was a WWI veteran. He had amazingly good luck in the trenches. There was one time when he was eating lunch in a particular trench, and he heard a voice saying to him "get up and go over there". So he got up, left the trench, and not three minutes after he was gone, the trench was blasted apart by an artillery shell. I also remember reading that on the first day that his regiment, the List Regiment, were deployed at the front, Hitler was one of the few survivors of a bad shelling that blew apart most of his platoon.

Hitler was also a talented and effective soldier. He reveled in warfare and bloodshed. While other men in the trenches expressed a desire to return to their homes and families, Hitler absolutely loved the frontlines. He eventually became a message runner, which, contrary to what you appear to think, was an incredibly dangerous job. Hitler enjoyed putting himself in danger. He would ask other message runners to give him their messages so that he could deliver them, and they were more than happy to do it.

There are stories claiming that Hitler captured something like 17 prisoners all at once on one occasion, while in the process of running a message along the frontlines. He was a very good shot as well, and while I doubt he ever bothered to take a killcount, he certainly would have shed blood in defense of his trench. He was delighted by the bloodshed and violence all around him, and he was one of few German NCO's to receive an Iron Cross 1st Class (which some think he did not entirely deserve) as well as an Iron Cross 2nd Class. I think the 2nd Class Iron Cross was for rescuing a wounded officer caught in no-man's land (no mean feat) and the 1st Class Iron Cross was for delivering a very important message through dangerous terrain. (Which in and of itself would not entitle him to an Iron Cross. Maybe that was the same incident as the 17 prisoners thing, I'm not sure.)

Anyway. My point is that Hitler was actually a very good soldier. He was also violent, bloodthirsty, insanely charismatic and dangerous on a colossal scale. When he spoke in public, he would whip himself up into a mad frenzy. It's said that he would sometimes lose as much as five pounds a night by getting so animated during his speeches. To me, that sounds like someone driven violently mad by a love of warfare and bloodshed. So, would Khorne look down with pleasure on Hitler?

Maybe. After all, Hitler was regarded as a good soldier by his commanding officers. He was a schemer (though his propaganda ministers did a lot of the scheming for him...), but he slaughtered millions and soaked the fields of Europe with the blood of innocents. Sounds pretty Khornate to me.

I kee3p forgetting to brush up on history prior to opening my mouth on things i learned in Texas public schools.

But i think Khorne would not elevate Hitler to such a position after he showed less than Khornate behavior at the end of the war. I don't think Khorne likes to give such power to those that commit suicide when their is blood at their door to be spilled in his name.

But he COULD be a Daemon of Khorne post death; just not Doombreed because given his final actions he certainly would have left a stain on his resume. Picture Hitler and Khorne at a daemon position interview. He would not elevate him to such a monstrous position given his final moments. Light of his actual behavior during WW I he would have gone far in Khornes eyes but that last bit had to be a critical hit to his chances.

i wouldn't put it past Genghis Khan, Vlad the impaler, or some unknown nutter later on between now and the 41s millennium but with Hitlers last moment i think he got turned down for the position.

ok people, just admit it, DOOMBREAD is Mary the first, former queen of England and known also as bloody Mary due to her religious reforms which caused massacres in an already beat down country due to failed harvests and disease, and since some people say the chaos gods only really became self aware about the 1500's it makes sense that she would be a likely candidate considering she was born in 1516, and being unable to have lil'wee ones she was a very unhappy and very vicious woman at times especially on a strained marriage while ruling a country, who said DOOMBREAD had to be a man, or even own an empire for that fact, while in control of a country rife with civil unrest, unlike Hitler, she was a cow until the very end, also who says the bishops she worshipped so much couldn't of been corrupted? :3 she was devoutly religious but to which god?

She didn't commit genocide though...

**4M2A**

Actually she did (or at least tried to). Genocide is just the intentional targeting and destruction of a specific group. Her attempts to remove protestants from the country is genocide.

By that reasoning Cromwell also tried it...

**4M2A**

Correct- He was far from the hero he is often presented as.

Genocide is much more common than people are often led to believe.

**purplefood**

Rather attempts at genocide are...
Actually genocide is kinda hard to achieve... most of the time.

Doesn't make sense for him to be Hitler. I would say Temujin is the most likely candidate.

DOOMBREAD is good when toasted with cheese on... even better with DOOMCHEESE and after it has been DOOMTOASTED.
