Nurgle, just don't like the idea of all those diseases, I have had enough health problems thank you very much.

Slaanesh. I actually like Nurgle.

Nurgle. The models are just too sick and twisted.

Khorne, because he made GW put skulls on EVERYTHING!

How could you hate Tzeentch? I was expecting that to be like 1% from the weird guy who sits in the corner of the room with a weird grin on his face as he thinks of

Slannesh, the quintessential SEX part of any good game that ruins it because there are the creepy kids who need to paint breasts and blush when they place on them on the table and make it difficult to get the regular non-sex-crazed/deprived people into the game.

Slannesh, but mostly because my dad doesn't stop making horrible jokes about him/her.

I don't hate any of them, but Slaanesh is my least favourite. Plus pink marines look bad. I can't believe people can ruin perfectly good models with that horrible colour scheme! I've seen one or two armies that pulled it off, but it's rare. Not a fan of the daemon models either. I mean, crab claws? What does that have to do with the theme?

Ps: Why do people keep saying "penis god". Slaanesh is obviously the god of boobs and crab claws.

Slaanesh. I don't see much of myself in what it stands for, so I can't relate.

I agree with what people have been saying. Slaanesh isn't represented well, if represented at all. It's normally "Blood for the Blood god!" and all that jazz.



Now Nurgle... that man's a boss. Sure he might smell a bit, who knows, work with him long enough you will too. He's the only chaos god that actually takes pride in the people who serve him. All jolly but kinda creepy for what he represents.

"Embrace necrosis and rejoice! Nurgle loves you!"

- Great Unclean One

I was going to vote Slannesh, as I like seeing topless models and boobs, but not utters. Also It isnt too powerful and we cant call it a she yet even though back then they all had two boobs.


I voted Tzeenech.

This guy is just a bird with his hand in the air. There is no Greater Daemon Lord for him. I barely ever see him played, let alone 1000 sons played. AND I am sure most opponents hate the +1 invulnerable save he provides his worshipers.

Ohhh .... AND who even knows how to enunciate Tzeenech?

Also, paint scheme looks too much like Ultramarine.

Slaanesh by far. I'm not a fan of hedonism.

Don't hate any of them, but Nurgle is the one I like the least. Maybe because of the looks, he definetly ain't the most attracting one.

I don't particularly hate any of the chaos gods since i collect the chaos daemons and since they are my favourite army, it i hard to hate any of the chaos gods, however the chaos gods that i dislike the most are slaanesh, especially because the models don't look as awesome as the red khorne daemons or the shiny tzeentch daemons or the pussy, rotting green and brown nurgle daemon, especially the masque which has completely no interesting appearance at all.

Nurgle, because all the rot and smell isn't exactly pleasing. Even Orkz don't smell THAT much. Though he's the nicest of the four and feeling no pain isn't all that bad.

Khorne is usually all about "Blood for the blood god" but many forget he's also about courage, honour and martial might.

Slaanesh... well, Slaanesh demons are supposed to look like the ideal lover for one, and so does Slaanesh him/herself. S/he's also into art. Naturally, burning out your own senses isn't ideal.

Tzeentch lives and breathes for the scheming. He's probably the only neutral Chaos God. Plus his egyptian bird demons look pretty awesome.

All in all, I'm really no a fan of Nurgle though, his negative aspects just outwight the positive ones <.<

Khorne, because he/she/it doesn't seem like a god of chaos at all.

All the others use trickery, schemes and deceit to lure humanity from the Emperors path. Using us for their own purposes. Khorne just tells us to kill stuff.

Khorne followers shouldn't even get to use the eight-pointed star, they are to narrow minded for that. Just replace it with some tactical marine "single arrow" markings, suits them better.

Khorne. If you buy a battalion box of chaos marines you are forcibly handed khorne berzerkers. Then you are given one chance to make something different. And gw "expects" you to go immediately and buy more berzerkers. To the indie kid, if you wanted to stay indie, you would have been purchasing the thousand sons, night lords, or noise conversion kits, because no one else was and you wanted to feel elitist, just so you could hate on any one else. Yes, khorne was sooooo last edition. Now Nurgle is just as bad. Especially epidimius, plague marines and plague bearers are on back order for gw because of how valid on the field that list is. So yes, if Slaneesh makes you feel uncomfortable, mad, or like you need a shower when you get home from a game, then he won. He is the patron god of one Carlos Esteves.

Slaanesh is just not as perverted as he/she/it could be in the context of a tabletop game. Khorne can embody violence without offending people, but you can't even build some of the models necessary to capture the essence of Slaanesh without visiting some dodgy shops indeed... and then you get kicked out of the local GW store for fielding your d***lord titan...

OK, so that never happened, but I still reckon Slaanesh is unable to be sick enough to live up to the hype!

LOL

Sucks to see the Slaanesh dislike.

To be fair, he/she is portrayed vey poorly in 40k as a god of sex. But to be fair, the game's fanbase usually equates hedonism to sexual acts (though, society is just as guilty of that too)

Slaanesh, to me at least, represents so much more. Slaanesh is pride, vanity, a love of the self. Sensations go beyond the mere physical: art, inspiration, poetry, music, dance. Slaanesh is enjoyment taken to a whole new level, it's an appreciation for even the smallest things in life, such as breathing. Slaanesh also appeals to attempts to better oneself, to advance, to become the best at whatever you desire, to be as perfect as possible.

Slaanesh gets a bad rep because of the boobs, sadly.

Slaneesh, you have a bunch of half naked hooligans running about the field with +1i and rending, can you cay underwhelming?

Khorne is boring. He has no flavor.

Nothing wrong with slaanesh as a concept, but s/he fits in least in a wargame

I don't hate any of the gods, I just dislike the main thoughts that people have about them. They think slaanesh is only about "ZOMG BOOBS DRUGZ AND MORE BOOBZ" but there's so much more about slaanesh than those things. Same with khorne, folowing khorne is so much more than just mindless slaying everything that lives

While Slaanesh is parodied more, I'd say that Khorne is one of the more misinterpreted of the gods-- mindless berserkers are hardly the only thing going on, there.

Tzeentch for the OP magic, the whole 'it was my plan all along' and other random shennanigans.

Why the hate for Slaanesh? Hell yes I put boobs on my daemonettes, that's the way they should be. Sexy but evil. And I also watch films and read books that also have nudity, drugs, gore and violence (but not exclusively or in that order). A chaos daemon or follower, especially one as unnerving as a slaaneshi, is not going to cover up. Heck, I'd give my noise marines penis fingers but it's still not socially acceptable (one can only dream).

I voted to hate Tzeentch. Not because I really hate Tzeentch, I mean he is kind of cool, I just don't think he is creepy enough. I can dig nurgle because he is disgusting, and I'd love to do a bit of Nurgle modelling one day. Khorne is great because you can model gore. Tzeentch models just look like big birds, or childhood magical creatures that could just as easily populate some storybook fantasyland. They're not really evil or creepy to me.

If you don't think Chaos should be scary and creepy and adult version well then good for you. That's why 40k is great, everyone does it their own way. I just think my version deserves some great villains.

Slaanesh, as an Eldar player you have to hate the permanent reminder of your fall from grace

Nurgle, he's fat and smelly.

And don't forget he's basically worshipped by the SKAVEN! That's makes him fat, smelly and flee ridden

Nurgle, simply because I play a lot against Chaos with Mark of Nurgle. I play mainly IG. You figure it out

While I agree with the general sentiment that Slaanesh is the least compelling chaos god, all the people expressing their disdain and distaste for the excess and hedonism he represents is pretty funny. What is playing intricate games for hours and hours with multiple hundreds-or-thousands of dollars worth of small figurines?

Simply put, who wouldn't care the least if you died or not? It's khorne, because at the end of the day BLOOD FOR BLOOD GOD! SKULL FOR SKULL KING!

The Great Elfish Pansy, obviously!

All Hail the Plague Lord!
