Here's a hypothetical topic. Lets say you're a pious Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and by some overly complicated series of events you are given the ability to kill 1 of the Chaos Gods. Which God would you chose? Whose death would benefit the Imperium the most?

Either Khorne or Slaanesh. My understanding is that Khorne is the most powerful because he feeds off of anger and hate, a pretty abundant emotion in the 40k universe, or Slaanesh so the Eldar will shut the hell up.

I'd go Nurgle.

I hate plague marines. He's responsible for numerous plagues that wipe out whole systems. Its harder fighting germs than it is a daemon.

However Slaanesh might be a good one, might get the eldar on side.

The Corpse God. His death would benefit the Imperium greatly - allowing humanity to be set free!

I'd get rid of Slaanesh, not because it would benifit the imperium most (that would peobably be khorne), just because I dont like it as much as the others.

Heresy. Under the authority of the Holy Ordos, I hereby sentence you to be entombed on an iron toilet!

Probably Slaanesh, It and Its followers are just plain annoying, ever seen a Khornate defiler painted in Slaaneshi colours? Thats how far Its influence reaches.

Whichever one you got rid of, would only be part of the Weaver of Fates master plan....

Notice how none of you are choosing Tzeench... just as the great Manipulator wills it.

Tzeentch, If he truly controls all the fates and is constantly manipulating time and events to his will then that would piss me off. I hate not feeling in control of my own destiny, so were I really in the 40k universe Tzeentch would have to go.

Clearly the answer is Slaanesh. That way, I could stop wearing this annoying soulstone everywhere I go.

The Failgod!

I'd Be careful from now on if i were you... Tzeench might arrange for you to have a little... accident.

I don't think that killing any one specific God would make much of a difference to the Imperium.

The forces of Chaos are strongest when they are united under one banner.

Killing Tzeentch would be part of his grand scheme, his death would lead to the deaths of the other 3 and then a rebirth of all four combined into one single being ... hey, now that's an idea ...

Hard to say.

Everyone gets angry, but not every bit of anger brings 'blood for the blood god'... so maybe not him.

Nurgle experiments with diseases and is a pro-active god spreading his 'wealth' across the universe, but, according to some fluff Isha lets slip cures to mortals.

Tzeentch loves chaos, but trys to pit the other gods against each other simply to cause trouble keeping them in check to a certain degree.

Slaanesh rewards the nutty perves and emotional manipulators that feed that side of its nature... if I could get rid of only one I'd choose Slaanesh.

The sad part is, he'd be back in an instant since humanity is pretty disgusting in the first place.

For the good of the Imperium?

Tzeentch. The brains of the operation otherwise described as the Ruinous Powers. Yeah, the sneaky one, the others are comparatively easy for the Inquisition to counter.

If Slaanesh was taken out it may be bad for the Imperium, simply because it would be so amazingly good for the Eldar/Dark Eldar.

Nurgle.

Skip to 11:00 and you'll see why.

Slaanesh, becuase right now I fell pity for the Eldar

Tzeentch becuase I think it would be the most benificial for the imperium, and as said before, he's the brains of the operation.

Tzeentch. Always take out the brains, not the muscle. With the Grand Manipulator gone.., no more mutations, no more JUST AS PLANNED, but no more hope and change... But the Imperium had none of those last 2 in the first place.

Take out Slaanesh and the DE have nothing to worry about.

No seriously, Slaanesh gone is an awesome idea, even with DE having nothing to worry about.

Actually, it might affect all the Eldar. They can quit their scheming and finally start to rebuild in earnest. Of course, it's not going to fix their murderous arrogance.

I think without Tzeentch scheming and meddling the other three chaos gods would be more apt to fight amongst themselves even more than they do now. I'd have to go with Tzeentch.

Slaanesh, his fallowers are too obnoxious to live.

Nurgle, then Forgeworld would finally start putting out some models for other factions...

Considering that a Tzeench God can just cut your life-string at any time and wipe you from existence without your knowledge.

He's CLEARLY the one that needs to die.

Slaanesh.

Blood for the Blood God!

As a radical inquisitor (pious in his reverence of Khorne) who believes that the Imperium can survive only by sacrificing themselves to the mighty Khorne (voluntarily or otherwise), it is my stance that Slaanesh needs to die.

Not Slaanesh. The Eldar (of both varieties) would go nuts and start reproducing, and eventually they'd go back to their old ways and birth slaanesh again

Nurgle. I love my plague marines, but inter-stellar plague and disease isn't very nice.

Tzeench.

Wars are winnable. Diseases are curable. Perpetual orgasm is... wait, why do people want to kill slaanesh?

Being able to always know the future and always lay down the correct plans basically makes Tzeench unbeatable. I'd off him in this hypothetical.

Wars are winnable.

In fighting Khorne, you fight war itself.

How can one kill that which grows stronger with every wound that is made and every life that is claimed?

It's pretty easy to defeat Khorne. You just need to exploit his weakness: love and cuteness.

Don't shoot a Bezerker, give him a hug. Don't fire bullets, throw flowers. And, then, use the ultimate weapon to defeat him:

I would give the power to that god to kill the other 3.
Not really a solution, but a step forward.

If this is not the option then Slaanes, so that Eldar can finally have sex.

None, killing any would throw the balance of the gods one way or another.

Or, dare I say it... The retconned Malal!!!

*Games Workshop Inquisition breaks down door*

"PLEASE NO!"

*Silence*

I reckon the Squats revered Malal, and that it was an elaborate plan by GW to-REMOVED BY AUTHORITY OF THE INQUISITION. HAVE A NICE DAY-

Include in the Tau Codex (supposedly) years later as an elaborate ploy to develop the... I... Can't seem to find the information in my data banks anymore... Strange...

But seriously, don't kill any god, you will only kill yourself more (is this even possible in 40k?).

Gotta go with Slaanesh. Bitch needs to die.

Slannesh, mainly because I'm an Eldar fan and she's the only thing holding them back from remaking their empire. Of course that means Ynnead gets screwed over and will never get created, but ah well.

I just hope the Eldar learned the lesson and decided not to create another one. Course who knows how fast the Dark Eldar will remake him/her.

Nurgle, for three reasons: one, and mostly, because of the paradox -- death to the death god, the death god is dead, etc; two, I don't buy the fluff -- revelling in the pus, the decay, the malaise, please; three, he's gross.

If the death god is dead... Is there no death?

tzeentch: take out the brains & chaos is screwed

Slaneesh
Tzentech
Nurgle

In that order, Slaneesh so I can claim the eldar collective asses to fight for me.
Tzeentech so that Chaos have no grand plan whatsoever
Nurlge: Nurgle is disgusting, hence he should DIE

Malal, oh wait, already happened.

Retrias wrote:Slaneesh so I can claim the eldar collective asses to fight for me.

I assume you mean just the Eldar and not the low-light variety.

I can see the DE being so seriously happy with your little Mon-Keigh butt that they would insist on rewarding you directly instead of fighting for you. Perhaps even going so far as dedicating all their best homunculi their most exquisite... attentions... forever.

Nurgle, he smells bad.

And do you need any other reason to kill a person?

tzeentch, because he tries to plan and scheme and i hate it. Chaos is supposed to be... CHAOS! No control, absolute madness and he tries to control it and AAARH!!!! Its gay

Slaneesh, so the Eldar can make dem physcic babies.

Not Tzeentch, cuz he just likes his kicks and giggles screwing around with the other gods.

The Boob God.. I mean Slannesh because a chaos god who has boob daemons shouldn't exist.

Also gonna have to go with slaanesh. Set them eldar free to take back what belongs to them.

I would take out nurgle.
Khrone can be murdered with FRIENDSHIP.
The eldar will create a new slaneesh, even if it takes eons.
And tzeech just likes to plan, and manipulate things with no real cause or reason. He is like Doc from Back to the Future.

Tzeench, hes the one running the show..

khorne because i hate bloodletters their the most annoying thing in warhammer.

how dare you insult Khorne..... Kharn is not pleased. in all seriousness kill Tzeentch, because without him/her/it chaos won't last long

I would kill Nurgle mainly because I am mysophobic and entomophobic. Reading about how the Plague Ships fill with flies just makes my skin crawl.

Lotta Slaanesh hate. So that's a "no" to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, then. Also, how bad would it get when the Dark Eldar stopped being wholly preoccupied by staving off The Thirst? To be sure, the "sticking tits (or worse) on everything" take on Slaanesh is off-putting.

Nurgle seems to come in second, and that's who I'd go with. FREE ISHA! Although the ones who want to take out Tzeentch are really using their noodle... which means the Architect of Fate already has his eye(s) on you.

Why kill nurgle he cares for his followers all the others justsend them to the slaghter kill khorne with out his strenght most of chaos will be destroyed.

TyraelVladinhurst Death to the blood god!!!

Slaanesh... for being sickoes.

Definitely Nurgle.

Immortality ftw!

I would have to say, i would kill all 4. But in the following list :

1.Nurgle
2.Tzeentch
3.Khorne
4.Slaanesh

Being a Fanatical imperial, aswell as a budding Night lord the chaos Gods are my foes on both fronts

This Inquisitor must have in his possession then, a device that has the capability to end all sentient life in the galaxy. You can't kill a Chaos god as long as there is still emotion. Also, even if you manage to "kill" one of them, things such as hedonism, war, and death will still be present.

Yes, but there would be nothing to feed the power and emotion from it.

Probably Slaanesh because then the eldar would be thankfull to the imperium and they would team up
And then they could wipe the rest out!

like that would happen good idea but the GK and SoB would take one look and kill everybody who was with the eldar for being traiters.

They don't need us to feed off them. They're there because we feel, if we (and all emotionally motivated beings) didn't exist, they wouldn't either. The opposite of which is false, because even if they weren't there, we would still exist.

Also for the OP's question, +1 to Malal, just to get it over with.

Tzeentch, just to watch his plans unravel... or perhaps succeed, if he was planning on them failing.

Tzeentch he is opposite my liege Father Nurgle.

I would have to say Tzeentch just to unleash the chaos some more so its not so orderly.

As posted before, Nurgle definately. Hate him 1, and 2 daemons are far easier to kill than disease. Never kill Tzeench, he is awesome+he's hope and change. Slannesh might go as Eldar would probably then ally with IoM (or wipe them out YESS ) Khorne would slowly diminish through lack of constant war, Slaanesh through the Harlequins constant warnings, and Tzeench could stay...for now

Tzeentch, that nerd plots everything, setting events into motion before they are actually set into motion... if that makes any sense... but then again, in Chaos, nothing makes sense.

Or Khorne; hate, blood, anger, you name it, there's a whole universe full of that in 40k... and theactually feeds off of every one of those things.

I'll take out Khrone because he is the leader of the god's.

Slaanesh out! we hare enough perverts by ourselves... he's the Dr Rockzo of the gods... annoying...

Id go with Slaanesh, as much as im an imperial supporter, I do feel sorry for the Eldar. It annoys me no end this "you could never understand" depressed, pessimistic attitude they all seem to have. Getting rid of Slannesh would give them a chance to get back on their feet and become a power once again (and hopefully become a bit more optimistic at the same time).

nurgle. it puts me off anything edible when i think about it :(

If the goal was the weaken them to the point where Chaos would be more easily killed completely, then it would be Slaanesh. With The Great Enemy's death the eldar would be able to rebuild and would be a large force to combat Chaos.

However I like Slaanesh. He's fun. I like Nurgle, Korne, and Tzeentch too.

Gotta say slaanesh, war is already grotesque enough. We dont need blood orgies with dead bodies after the battle.

xXSir MontyXx wrote:Gotta say slaanesh, war is already grotesque enough. We dont need blood orgies with dead bodies after the battle.

We don't? Now I'm confused. I always thought this was a requirement.

Khorne. 'Cause then I'd take his place.

MORE SKULLS FOR MY SKULL THRONE, PEONS!

Slaanesh. I'm sure the Eldar would throw up brofists to the imperium after it gets rid of the thing that eats their souls, or at least tries to.

guys you or totaly forgeting one thing .....tzeentch is no longer a problem because we have the only person who is
#1 smarter
#2 ahead of everyone
#3 plays one bad ass game of chess


thats right im talking about

Of all Chaos Gods Tzeentch's disappearance will be definitely the most advantageous for IoM and human race - as this will allow to break 10k+ stalemate of human civilization as currently any change is small step toward RPs. So i wonder how different will be say AMs or Inquisition thousand years or two down the road after such event.
Though...maybe by then new chaos god emerge , let say Ahneehris, God of Stagnancy.
PS: imo big E can became god of Order and Survival btw.

PS 2: Slaanesh? To allow arrogant, xenophobic but technologically advanced Eldar (both CW and Dark) be free from existential pressure ???

Something important overlooked so far. What happens to the followers? Do they just disappear? Cuase if not, then go for Tzeentch. Free Magnus the Red. Mortarion, Agron, or Fulgrim won't do you much good.

The Thousand Sons wouldn't be free just because tzeentch died. The warp does not require Tzeentch to produce psychic powers after all.

The basis of all the Chaos Gods with exception of Nurgle is giving form to natural emotion: Khorne is anger and hatred and violence. Slaanesh is all forms of euphoria. Tzeentch is thought and planning and change. Nurgle is a physical form, he is the "god" of disease and pestilance and decay. So kill Nurgle and then take measure to steralize everything so there is no way for him to return in any sort of power. The other 3 will continue to survive only because they are a manafestation of emotion and thought.

Frazzled.

I'm surTzeentch, prevents them from finding a release from their curse though. With Tzeentch gone, they might find a way to escape their curse.

But they are free. They're free from the restrictive clutches of the False Emperor.

Not true Nurgle is defiance born of despair and hopelessness. Also death itself powers Nurgle.

I want nurgle to die because, with him dead the Death Guard will be free from their curse. and no more zombies..... and all the deadlist of nurgle will be rid of it.

I know a lot of people say Tzeentch as he's the brains, but I think eliminating the muscle (Khorne) would actually work better in this instance.

I mean, think about it. Tzeentch may scheme and plan, but in all honesty who's that harming? I'd rather face an enemy locked away in his castle, constantly planning than an enemy trying to remove my head so he can sit on it. Striking the head may help, but so does removing the arms.

jelisi wrote:Probably Slaanesh because then the eldar would be thankfull to the imperium and they would team up

I'm with this guy. the eldar and the imperium were at one point trying to become allies (I forget where I read it, but I know it wasn't matt ward). but this one power-armor-wearing jackwit had to get corrupted and feth up the entire thing. basically, he started attacking an endangered species and said endangered species never tried to forge an alliance again. this would provide the imperium with a second chance (and considering that both parties HATE chaos, orks, dark eldar, tyranids and necrons, I bet they could find a reason to work together).

black templar wrote:like that would happen good idea but the GK and SoB would take one look and kill everybody who was with the eldar for being traiters.

Somehow I doubt the grey knights would be adverse to a few extra battalions to help them with their chaos problem. the other ordos would need to have those abnormally large sticks surgically removed from their rectal cavities before they got a clue.

Not Slaaneh......Eldars and Dark Eldars will rise and be a bigger threat! Not Nurgle
becuse he has also proven
to be a big anoynece to te oher races, plus he and
Khorn really hate Necron so let them kill off each other.
Tzeentch needs to go beacuse withought him the Warp
will be more stable and the Imperum can conqouer more planets and faster.
Plus Tzeentch go the brains and that isnt good

Here's what I'd do kill slaanesh, then get eldar to sick Ynnead on Nurgle freeing Isha, replacing death and plague with peace and healing. Next get Eldrad and Creed to team up to out scheme Tzeench. Finally get eldar tech in the massive forge worlds wraithcannons/D-cannons to blow the gak out of Khorne and have Kaela Mensha Khaine take his thorne. Oh and have Isha heal the Emperor.

I swear i've never planned this before(shifty eyed then jumps out the window)

GK = Ordo Malleus. They focus on anti-chaos/daemons.
SoB = Ordo Hereticus. They focus on anti-coruption and heritics.

Neither of these would have any huge issue with fighting along side Eldar. In fact there are several instances where they do.

Ordo Xenos, which use Deathwatch, would have a problem with it.

Sigged!

Tzeentch. Kill the head and the body dies.

Beside if you folllow my plan I just healed the Emperor and killed 2 chaos gods how dare you call me a heretic! Also gods stay dead, point and case the eldar gods.

Loving the plan, FlammingGaunt.

I don't know which I'd kill. I love Tzeentch too much. Nurgle is also pretty cool. I guess I would have to kill Tzeentch, leaving Chaos without their oh-so-brilliant plan maker.

I'd kill Slaneesh, partly because of the whole Eldar thing, but mostly because I can't get any damn sleep with those Noise Marines next door.

This thread belongs in General Discussions.

The thing about killing off Tzeentch, is he probably has a whole plan for that happening too. That is a 50/50 risk which could really benefit or totally backfire. Overall this would be the best option. Although this would be doing the Warp a opposite favor. Tzeentch was like the 'law' of chaos lol. Uncontrollable chaos and anarchy is what every khornate dreams of ^.- Try fighting a chaos god that knows every move you can do before doing it... Worse than fighting a humongous daemon that would rip out your guts and eat them while drinking your blood... More painful though >.>

Killing off Slaanesh, if the Eldar did join the Imperium in an alliance, would just end up to the same conclusion. Although I do like the Eldar, they are intelligent and do good. This really has no affect for the most part, could end for more numbers to fight chaos but would end up with Eldar fighting Imperium as well, even if it takes decades. If the Imperium was smart they would use the Eldar to help kill chaos then clear off Eldar as well... Most people who choose to pick off Slaanesh are choosing it out of hate.

Nurgle is a tough one, would have to be the second best choice other than Tzeentch. For all we know Nurgle has the power to resurrect a Chaos God.

Khorne is one of the least choices, yes he would be the biggest pain in the ass to get rid of in a war, but fighting a band of barbarians with swords and chain axes with no tactics and only want bloodshed is easy to control. They are uncivilized(as much as I love the craziness and barbarian they do), they are easy to pick off if the right tactics are used.

So, my choice would have to go with the risk of killing off Tzeentch.

The only Chaos God is Tzeentch. The other chaos gods are just aspects of the Lord of Change manifesting themselves through his multiple personality disorder.
