Its got nothing to do with logic, Khorne is the very esscence of battle, anyone who challenge3s him or is challenged is no match for him as he litterally knows every move they could ever make and how to counter it and can register this in a split second faster than the opponent can actually make the descision, his grasp of combat is faster than reflex he is actually thinking about thenext move whilst his opponent is reacting to the one he is making at a level so fast that he knows every move attack counter attack and potential threat that the opponent can make until the end of the fight
more than likely he just takes his axe chops gork AND mork in twain and sais "Denied"

Then why hasn't he done so with the other Chaos Gods? I know they've toned down the whole idea of their animosity, but come on, enough warp presence can overcome anything.
Khaela Mensha Khaine was "the very essence of battle" for the Eldar, yet was very easily overcome by the personification of their penchant for anal beads and ball-gags.

The difference between khorne and khaine being the khorne is the god of war, whereas khaine was a warrior god.
Warrior=fighter
God of War=Every aspect of war imaginable, perfected.
Plus khaine doesn't feed off battle. If you made khorne bleed, his blood would make him stronger.

because Tzeenth tricks him, Khorne is only master of battle, Slaanesh allures him or whatever, and Nurgle does his Nurgly thing, im not sure really how that works but as i understand it all the gods enjoy the squabbling between themselfs and so have no interest in ending it
Khaela Mensha Khaine is in my opinion, over rated, the very esscence of battle was defeated by something other than pure battle, thus it is completely plausible, orcs however are puere battle incarnat in a mortal form and Gorl and Mork are the Psionic REPRESENTATIVE of this base trait, thus they can never be as powerful as Khorne who isss the esscence and source of the trait

Chaos God battles go something like this: Nurgle things just don't die (see:zombies), Khornate things are the best warriors (mad sword skills), Slaaneshi things are too fast to hit (NINJA) and Tzeentch things just fire from a safe distance with their sorcery and make overly complicated plans (see:Creed)

oh and one more thing, has noone stopped to think that maybe the two gods Gork and Mork are actually an aspect of Khorne himself? similar to the way the laughing god is supposed to be Slaanesh and the Machine spirit is actually the void dragon of the necrons, Gork and Mork to me are like Khornes Bastard children, and as we know, the illegitamate sons of gods always get stick from dad

Actually another theory for the Omnissiah is that it and the GEoM are the same.
And Mork would be child of khorne, with Gork as the child of Tzeentch
Poker game between the GEoM, Tzeentch, the Deceiver, The Laughing God and Gork-who would win?

Although the tyranids are said to h ave equal or above numbers to the orcs in population size.
The basic mindless organisms don't really count any more than say an otter's would. It's on the synapse creatures that actually count as I beleive they actually have a degree of sentience.
Orks on the other hand all have a degree of sentience, execpt perhaps snotlings.
This is GORK AND MORK. When did logic EVER stop them?
not possible, Khone is the god of battle essentially, it isnt possible to defeat him in battle
his very nature makes it impossible
So is Kaela Mensha Khaine, yet Slaanesh, while not able to kill him, was able to banish his form into the Craftworlds. And as far as I recall, Orkish minds arn't read/absorbed/whatever it is they do, by the chaos gods.
Its got nothing to do with logic, Khorne is the very esscence of battle, anyone who challenge3s him or is challenged is no match for him as he litterally knows every move they could ever make and how to counter it and can register this in a split second faster than the opponent can actually make the descision, his grasp of combat is faster than reflex he is actually thinking about thenext move whilst his opponent is reacting to the one he is making at a level so fast that he knows every move attack counter attack and potential threat that the opponent can make until the end of the fight
more than likely he just takes his axe chops gork AND mork in twain and sais "Denied"
He isn't the God of War, he's the God of Martial Prowess, Anger, Violence, and Hate. That means he's good with a sword, but can't make a booby trap for the life of him. So while he may indeed be as Brutal as Gork, which I doubt, he is definately not as Kunnin as Mork.
Not to mention, Orks don't get that mad when they fight, they get happy, it's like their communal orgasm. That's why their arms are as so muscular.
oh and one more thing, has noone stopped to think that maybe the two gods Gork and Mork are actually an aspect of Khorne himself? similar to the way the laughing god is supposed to be Slaanesh and the Machine spirit is actually the void dragon of the necrons, Gork and Mork to me are like Khornes Bastard children, and as we know, the illegitamate sons of gods always get stick from dad
You mean aside from the fact that Khorne didn't come into awareness unitl our middle ages but orcs are apparently much older than the race of men, and even possibly Eldar?
One more thing Tyranic Marta, out of curiosity, how old are ya me boy?

Hmm, GEoM finds the whole thing improper and is chosen to be the dealer, Gork doesn't actually know the rules (so he just does things at random and somehow ends up victorious), Tzeench pretends this was his plan all along, and the Laughing God is that hysterical guy who just realized he gambled away his house and life's savings.

I say Gork is the most powerful. If all the Orks banded together they could destroy the whole galaxy. I do have to give the Hive mind credit though, they did create a technically invincible warrior (swarm Lord), well not invincible just repeatedly comes back to life even if its gone through a whole lot of flamers. Also there Hive fleet Leviathan is actually bigger than the galaxy if you look at it on the map in the Nid codex and even that doesn't show where it begins. However I still think Gork would completely destroy the Hive mind and its Hive fleets. None of the others would stand a chance in my opinion cause the Ork codex states Gork and Mork laugh whenever something ties to kill them.

So it's Emperor, Gork+Mork, Hive Mind, Tzeentch as the top five.

So what? Mark of Chaos undivided, pretty impressive but Horus =/ all the 4 gods combined. Even the idea that the Emperor of Man "constantly fights all the 4 gods" is new to me, i have never seen it stated outside of imperial propaganda. Hells, for all we know the God Emperor of Man is a vegetable, completely occupied with projecting the Astronomicon with stolen power while somehow keeping the webwaygate under his toilet closed. Even his few miracles can be explained away as the actions of a gestalt mind during times of great crisis and war, similar to what the orks can do.
Unlike the Chaos Gods, whose existance we know of with great certaincy thanks to numerous descriptions of them and their daemons in the fluff, the Emperor as a warpgod might be little more than eclesiarchy propaganda.

The relevant part is under "Consequences of the Horus Heresy", and I quote:
Lexicanum wrote:At the outset of the Heresy, when Magnus the Red used his sorcerous powers to warn the Emperor of Horus's treachery, he inadvertently created huge holes in the Emperor's psychic shield. Daemons poured into the human-built portion of the Webway and slaughtered thousands of Adeptus Mechanicus workers there. The Custodian Guard and Sisters of Silence were left fighting a desperate battle to prevent the daemons from reaching the portal through into the Imperial Dungeon. Eventually the Imperial forces had to abandon the Webway and retreat back into the Imperial Palace. The portal was closed but only the psychic power of the Emperor was enough to keep it that way so he was forced to remain on the Golden Throne or find a suitable replacement. When the Emperor was forced to battle Horus on board the Sons of Horus flagship, the Vengeful Spirit, his place on the throne was taken briefly by Malcador the Sigillite. Malcador perished performing this endeavour, and the mortally wounded Emperor was reinstated upon the Throne after his battle with Horus. At his instruction, it was then enhanced and converted into the life-sustaining form it currently bears.
Thus, the Emperor is keeping a Warp Rift closed that would otherwise let the Daemons run rampant through Terra and, by extention, the Imperium.
Besides, in the Inquisition War novels, he I haven't seen any Chaos Gods running around doing that lately.
