I think the Chaos gods themselves, being 4, should remain as such, but that possibly for a limited time, an Anti-god should be brought into the Fluff, like a new army of Anti-Chaos but not imperials.

I has idea on the sybole give me a sec


I also came up with the god of the abyss

EDIT: hers the god of time and fear symbole i've come up with

hmmm... Its abit complex, but I like the idea. Don't like the clock though, just makes it look silly.

Urien_Rakarth wrote:So couldn't there eventually, if things stay the way they are, be a Chaos god of Misery forming?

There kind of already is one.

His name is Nurgle, god of Despair.

Yeah, lol.

Also, there are many Chaos Gods besides the big four. Like Malal, who was already mentioned.

And of course Necoho, god of Atheism (No really).

Edit: Whoa... Like I did not even notice this thread had seven pages. Unless it filled up while I typed this post up, which seems insane and improbable.

Seeing that GW never advances the time line of WH40k beyond this endless state of failbaddon spamming the imperium over the Emperor's forums, and orks constantly not joining up for a super-bowl party on the moon... i doubt there is any room for a new chaos god tbh *sad face*

For those constantly asking questions as to who is Malal/Malice.

For the God of Time (immortality), an infinite sign would go well with that.

I declare this most awesome thread reopened! Please reply, so we can get going again. Here is our work so far:

Name: Aetox
Attributes:
Fear
Aging
Cruelty
Time

Symbol (not final!):

Fear of change and of aging are very definitely Nurgle's territory.

It's worth pointing out that there's a very good reason that there are only four Chaos Gods, which is that GW based them on the four Classical humours. (Choleric=Khorne, Sanguine=Slannesh, Phegmatic=Nurgle, Melancholic=Tzeentch.)

Just have something like the infinite symbol, perhaps make some kind of modification. The clock is too cliche.

Edit: For the posterboy chapter/legion (eg. Khorne has the World Eaters, Slaanesh has the Emperor's Children) that follows this god, why did they follow it? I was thinking something involving a geneseed flaw. Perhaps due to some horriffic flaw the marines aged as quickly as a normal human meaning that living beyond 100 was a challenge for the marines in a chapter, and living to 300 or 400 is outright impossible. In order to deal with the flaw they made a deal whereby the marines are made immortal in return for their service. Their boost could be an invulnverable save (turning back time for short bursts/contractual immortality preventing them from dying), and perhaps some sort of ID weapons (when the blades cut the enemy they cause them to begin to age thousands of years in a few seconds turning their enemies into dust) for their cult troops (like their equivalent to noise marine's noise weapons). I assume the weapons won't also be power weapons since that will be OP. Their preferred target would probably be stuff like HQs without eternal warrior, enemies with power weapons (they get invul saves), and multi-wound non-character models (like Ogryn, Nobz, and Tyranid Warriors). Perhaps if we want to take a slightly tragic lean on it we can have many of the older marines who were the first to pledge allegiance to the god having grown tired of life and simply longing for the eternal rest of death.

What about a sort of infinity simbol that twists into a skull... That might look good.

+1 about the clock

Maybe for the chapter iconography the skull is good, but if you look at the symbols for the gods they are relatively simple, they are more like the Mars or Venus symbol than a skull. I mean look at the Nurgle page on lexicanum and look at his symbol, it is three arrows and three circles, nothing more. They are relatively simple symbols, much like the Chaos undivided star, it is just a multi-pointed star, nothing too fancy. Perhaps we could use the infinity symbol and modify it slightly.

What if all the minor Chaos gods combined into one

I feel that fear ties in with Terror which Malice already covers

According to BL the emperor's death will hasten the birth of this new god. It will also create a second Eye of Terror that would cover the whole Imperium.

Better keep the Emperor alive then lol.

Urien_Rakarth wrote:Better keep the Emperor alive then lol.

It'd be good to see the humies get what they deserve

I hate to rain on people's parade, but assuming you are trying to make a 5th major god, the fear/time god being discussed is very much already covered (if you're talking about making a minor deity, go nuts, nothing's stopping you). But as a 5th god this is just stealing from the other gods.

The time concept seems to be two separate things:

Fear of aging/death
Desire for immortality, or manipulation of time to your advantage

Nurgle already most definitely covers aging and fear of death. Those are central to Nurgle's theme. Nurgle is the fear of disease and decay, the fear of the advance of time. He is also a fatherly figure who grants his followers immortality if they embrace the corruption and disease he brings. Misery and death drive Nurgle, and he grants his followers freedom from pain and the flow of time if they only embrace their demise.

Tzeentch and time are heavily intertwined. Tzeentch is all about seeing the strands of fate and manipulating them to your own ends. Plans within plans played out over longer timescales than mortals can fathom, casting your influence into the future.

So aging, time, and fear of death are certainly covered.

Fear in general, I would argue, is a sensation that would fall under Slaanesh's purview, and goes hand in hand with the kind of torture his/her followers love to inflict.

Here's what I suggest there should be new Gods on (though the new gods shouldn't be nearly as powerful as the main Four). They aren't quite as cool as the main Four, so they'd obviously have less followers and less influence. I think most of them shouldn't even have any options or stats in any future codexes, just mentions.

Sloth
-You'd mainly see followers who are slave owners and leeches and that sort of thing.
Fear
-Paranoid, mentally unstable nutjobs.
Madness
-Absolutely insane people with no way of distinguishing the real world from fantasy.
Destruction
-People with the desire/need for oblivion.
Boredom
-People who have absolute disinterest in the world around them.
Loyalty
-Kinda insecure people with a need to follow.
Surprise
-The people who are always stupidly caught off guard

How about willpower or greed for the 5th power

Slaanesh and Tzeentch take up greed.

I follow the god of laughter and herbs

Slaanesh is God of Excess and desire for the material. Money is material.

Tzeentch is the God of Ambition and desire for power. Money is power.

Is there anyone for willpower

Eighteen Wheeler wrote:Is there anyone for willpower

I don't know what you mean by willpower. If you mean determination and resistance, that's covered by Nurgle.

Malal is already the 5th god, like some mentioned earlier.

Malal is no longer with us due to copyright stuff and what not, but Malice (a minor chaos god) is with us

Well in that case Malal must be another name for Malice

Not really, Malice looks like Malal, represents the same things as Malal, but isn't Malal. Malal doesn't exist anymore and that is final. Malice, however, does exist and represents the same things that Malal represented while not being Malal. Silly, I know, but GW did make a nice little choice in making Malice to appease those of us who loved the concept of Malal.
