Hey all, this thread is to ask would you be a heretic, and if yes why.
I would'nt, the risks are just too great, death spawnhood and failure all lead to eternal damnation, sure becoming an immortal daemon is nice and all but its no use if you are dead. And of course, there are the morals," now now, killing thousands to become immortal is not nice"

I doubt I'd stay loyal to the imperium, as it pretty much sucks. But Chaos is strictly a no-go. The "rewards" are pretty much all terrible. I haven't seen a situation where a Chaos Daemon seemed genuinely happy or content with life.
I'd probably try to go Rogue Trader or join the Tau or something like that. Pirates are always several degrees cooler than Daemons, and the Tau treat humans significantly better than humans treat humans.
If 40k literature has taught me anything, it's that Daemons have two primary emotions:
1. Fury and Rage
2. Being bored with Fury and Rage
Neither option is enjoyable.

But you speak of a tiny minority that get granted that. Your more likely to get too many "gifts" and become an immortal, unthinking spawn till you get shot to pieces as a shock troop on some battlefront than elevate yourself to owning a daemonworld.

I think a 40k 'heretic' is probably similar to a 'heretic' in medieval Europe, as in, anyone who disagrees with the church being in charge of everything. The church defines who is a heretic and who isn't, and it usually goes hand-in-hand with anyone who challenges their authority. I doubt if the Empreror would admonish heretics (first guy to say "no. Don't worship 'gods'), any more than Jesus would approve of witch burning, but you bet the ecclesiarchy would, just as the Spanish Inquisition would, in the name of the Jesus or the Emperor or whatever.
So HELL yeah I would be a heretic. Even my name is used nowadays as the Demon Lord of Gnolls from a blasphemous RPG that was accused of turning kids to satan worship in the early 80s. I am guessing that the fictional RPG Yeenoghu is probably a minion of Khorne if he were in 40k. Well, that RPG is actually based on ME. The real ME not the abyssal spawned avatar I represent myself with here. They got a few details wrong in the 1st ed. monster manual (I am slightly under 9' tall, and my flail has shorter chains) but yeah that's the real me they based it off of, in all my hyena-faced glory. That's why I have to use the internet to communicate with mortals (and seduce their kids to satanic interests - like the kid who's mug I use as my Avatar).
Go heresy go! Without heresy, there would be no Slayer, only Amy Grant.

Does joining the Tau count as being a heretic? If so, then yes, I would join the Tau and be a heretic.

Depends on what I'd be. A regular Imperial citizen probably has a good life, no all of them have to fight.
But if you were born in a zone of constant war like many are, I can imagine that I would pray to the Dark Gods for power. To defend myself and the ones I care about. A noble fall but a fall nonetheless and Daddy Tzeentch would laugh for having a new puppet.
If I were a Space Marine, hell yeah, I'd go renegade! I don't wanna die any minute on some random battlefield, I'd rather chill somewhere and be a huge coward who just plans evil missions or something. Only idiots are in the front lines!

I'd probably be inadvertently corrupted regardless of if i was a guardsmen or a marine Id be intensely loyal to the imperium and the emperor but when push comes to shove Id end up doing something that sets me on the path of corruption i.e Draw on more psychic power then i can consciously handle to smite a foe, use a daemon weapon to kill a otherwise unstoppable enemy or practise some kind of illicit method of increasing my own psychic power. Id basically be that isador guy from Dawn of war, until eventually Id end up so confused and mismatched by warp influence id end up serving one of the chaos gods or others.

I think the time frame changes the answer to that question. If we focused right before the HH I would go in the same direction as my Primarch. The Primarch seems to be referred to as a father figure to the Marines he leads. Most of them would listen to his guidance and views. Being a former infantryman I have had a huge amount of respect for some of my leaders which could have lead me to question a figurehead that left in the middle of the job. Frankly I feel that the mutiny was justified in the Emperor’s leaving to play bureaucrat back home when his men would have fought without weapons at his command.
Post Heresy seems kind of silly at times looking at the religious moments in the books. One side has a figure that is strapped to a wheel chair like a super psychic Stephen Hawking that nobody sees. Ok I will admit that people the 40k universe believe that they heard his voice but we have had people that experienced similar situations in the past century and we call them cult leaders. The other, Chaos, has the ability to deliver a raw power that many people would have a hard time to looking at and denying as it is summoned around you. Religion alone can have a huge impact on the society not just in its roots and laws but the mindset of the followers both practicing or not.
Just using real life as the example to show that many people today would be considered heretics by the Imperium standards; how many of the people that use this forum have served in their own countries protecting the ideals and the society shouting battle cries that ring with loyalty till death for their political leaders or worship that country’s dominant religion?
Personally, being a fan of the rock and roll orgy train know as the Emperor's Children, I would in a heartbeat sport some pink shoulder pads and a Doom Siren to walk around like Ozzy stumbling in a film shoot with Chasey Lain. Or looking at the religious fanatical Word Bearers I know a chaplains job that would equal the cats pajamas. (I love a good zealot; they always seem to be so passionate and crazy) Which side of the fence is this nerd on? Hmm... What has two thumbs and would serve the Dark Gods? This guy.

You are all aware that serving Chaos is typically extremely painful, right? To ascend to Daemonhood, you must endure an agonizing realignment of your various limbs and body parts, and to get to that point you need to suffer unimaginable pain (especially if you serve Khorne/Slaneesh).
Additionally, you would be just as expendable as under the Imperium, with sadistic commanders to boot. In their depravity, they would likely send you uphill directly into a heavy support team simply for the fun of it; very, very, few heretics ever achieve a role of power. Your best hope is to be killed quickly by a boltgun, lest you attract the attention of the Sisters of Battle and roast slowly on a pyre.
For all it's failings, I think I would serve the IoM.

Unless they were high ranking Slaanesh, then their lives would suck, but they'd love it and thank the Lord of Excess for it.

You can never use chaos "safely" its a slippery slope in the codex it talks about how some extremist inquisitors attempt to use chaos weapons or chaos knowledge against chaos, but your simply just exposing yourself to the taint I like to think of it as radiation, after a certain amount of exposure ANY human will be corrupted / killed we just all have different thresholds.

For me it depends on what type of heretic because there is more then just following chaos. There is deffecting to the Tau Empire or even just going off on your own seperate from everyone which the Imperium sees as being a heretic all the same.
If we're just talking Chaos the if I was a Space Marine then yes I would since Space Marines tend to have a better foot hold on the process and aren't so much cannon fodder as mortals. If I wasen't a Space Marine then no I woulden't unless I came into chaos by being turned into a chaos marine and if that happened I would already be a up, son of a in order to join them .

Do not believe the lies of the Daemon; for the Daemon is fickle and only seeks to work for the Ruinous Powers. To listen to the Daemon is a heresy in itself. Heresies which are an affront to our God-Emperor. Put your faith in the God Emperor and his Imperium and work hard in His name; so that we may stand against the wretched tide of filth and evil that threatens our very existance.
It may take a day, a year, or forever; but eventually the Ordo Malleus will defeat Chaos. When that happens; we; Ordo Hereticus will have expunged every filthy degenerate heretic and will execute him in the name of the Glorious God-Emperors will. The Emperor Protects. ALWAYS. Have faith.

Also why would you want to be a Daemon? Do you really want to look like that for the rest of your life?
you do realise daemon are basically immortal, when you kill them they simply return too the warp and get reborn again (if there gods wants too let them return).

Never
These are the things I'd strive to be instead of heresy:
-Space Wolves- Don't really follow Imperial rule and they are
-Rouge Trader- Better than anything chaos can offer
I mean come on people! Look at chaos!!!

1) My fellow traitors would like me... I think... maybe... if I killed lots of daemons...
2) People have wnated stranger things...
Your fellow traitors would loathe you the more powerful you became and would most likely attempt to betray you to get closer to daemonhood rather than help you.
I honestly can't think of anything that might be weirder than wanting to look like that.
Alright then, crush my dreams.
I can think of many stranger things.
I apologize. I don't mean to crush dreams. Merely put them into perspective.
I'm glad I can't.

Yeah I know that, but immortality isn't all that great in my opinion. I view it as a curse not a blessing.

You have to wonder how much the inquisition actually helps if you subtract all the megalomaniac flying rodent gak insane inquisitors from the ones that actually mean well.
BTW if anyone asks I never said this. *runs away*

"The weak will always be led by
the strong. Where the strong cry
out against fate, the weak bow
their heads and succumb. There
are many who are weak and
many are their temptations.
Despise the weak for they flock to
the call of the Daemon and the
Renegade. Pity them not and
scorn their cries of innocence - it
is better that one hundred
innocents fall before the wrath of
the Emperor than one kneels
before the Daemon."
- First Book of Indoctrinations
Wisest words I've ever heard. Suffer not the heretic to live. Glory to the God-Emperor and His Inquisition!

It's the insane ones that help the most!
That's the funny thing, the Radical's Handbook ostensibly portrays certain factions, particularly the Xanthites and Istvaanians, as sort of gray villains. Except when it goes into detail about their beliefs, and the projects they've enacted, their beliefs are revealed as right. An Inquisitor can use heretical knowledge and devices safely, and strife (on a small scale) does produce stronger, more competent fighters for the Imperium.

I'd be a heretic.
I rather die living a life,rather than being a slave to the Emperor.
Besides if I become a Daemon Prince I can go have fun waging war for all eternity.

Post by: Wardragoon
something I do want to note is that the odds of becoming a daemon prince are probably less than becoming the next Alexander the Great, just saying

This is becoming quite a tread... anybody know the longest dakka tread ever written?
And wisely said, if you serve chaos you lick ass ( o please my lord, may I pretty please have another mutation). If ur ork you give it. If ur emperial you take it in the ass.

I could never be a heretic... because the Emperor IS the one true master of mankind, and is holding back the warp from destroying the universe, so all the other races should worship him as well:
BUT THEY ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!

Of course! I'd rather live with mutations and being ANGRY ALL THE TIME, rather than be sacrificed to some old dead corpse just to keep him 'alive'.
Death to the false Emperor!

Though they seem to have secret agendas, the life style isn't that bad. Join the earth caste and stay away from the fighting, or maybe the air caste.
I'm pretty sure even consorting with alien races is considered heretical, let alone joining them.
If I had the choice I would turn heretic and join the Greater Good. I doubt the Ethereal Caste would let a person chose what caste they became apart of, but they would likely put you in a place where you aid the Greater Good the most.

Never!
My take on the Chaos gods
Khorne: some insecure tough guy who likes to try to make himself look all buff by wearing a million different skulls; same goes for his followers
Nurgle: Terminally ill Tim Burton's take on Jabba the Hutt with a million different STD's; whats the point of feeling no pain if a las cannon blew off your legs and you are unable to walk? A dreadnought(metal bawks) perhaps?
Slaneesh: Some Horny Hedonist that is the noob of the chaos gods and ripped open a hole in the fabric of space by being born
Tzeentch: some donkey-cave who can't make up his mind on anything
35884
Post by: Malice
Yep, thats the general idea
All I have to say is that slaneesh, apart from being a noob cant make up his mind on anything either, mainly his/her/it's gender.

I know I would give in to the temptation of Tzeentch, he'd just have to say I can become a lord of change and I'd join. Imagine being able to cast spells to kill people just like that, fly and see into the future. I know I would probably end up a blue horror (not even a pink horror) but just the chance would be too hard to resist.
