I debated on putting this in Discussions or here, but decided here as it's also a question based on which one would be strongest, even though fluff and appearance can weigh heavily into it as well. Personally I'm a bit undecided towards either Khorne or Tzeentch.

My Army for Chaos is Death Guard, and my army of choice will be Nurgle for Deamons.

Comparing tournament records is another form of e-peen measuring.

Tzeentch all the way, baby! Gotta love the ability to shoot.

Tzeentch. Between no shooting and no assault, I know which I'd choose! Plus, you get flamers.

.................................... Searching for Iscandar

I can't vote, it's not a fair question...I wouldn't play it.

I can give my advice though:

Khorne for beating down newbies in power armor.

Slaanesh for a slutty rending army of death. If it can get past the enemy shooting it to death.

Tzeentch for the feeling of control on landing. Then you get shot to death but at least you killed something before you became a wet fish, right?

So if I was to run an army thrust into my hands?

Why, Nurgle. Since I know I cannot win, I might as well end up with a draw. Of course anyone with plasma heavy armies will own me, but that's the way of things.
Oh right, that's every tournament army.

Nurgle is annoying to fight against, so I'd say Nurgle...and if I'm lucky, I won't face rending or power weapons or plasma weapons.

Wait a minute....

I think if I were to do a fun army to play I'd go with Khorne. Juggernauts could make for some fairly durable first turn landing units to get your icons in there, while Flesh Hounds (in fifth i hear) getting to Run and then charge 12" after landing could take out or tie up a couple of threatening units. Then drop down the Blood Letters and what not to really start getting into the thick of it.

If I were to do a fun army to build I'd go with Tzeentch as they're just weird in appearance and their special characters would be cool to model up. I think this is the army I'd end up with for the additional reason that my friend wants to do Khorne to pair with his Berserker army in apocalypse.

Personaly Id go with slaanesh. If you put your guys in rhinos as long as htey cna make it to the enemy lines no one can really stop them in cc what with the cd and what not.

Never say die! Never surrender!

Based on the recent 5th edition rumored rule that you can assault after DS if you have fleet, I'd say Slaanesh.

Negative on the fleet after DS - I read the rules incorrectly.

Which makes an all-Slaanesh army seem even worse. They need support from the other powers. Of course, all of the powers need support, but Slaanesh more than the others.

I'm with Stelek on this. Nurgle all the way. I am not planning on winning but at least I will make it hard on my opponent. Epidemius+ 20 plague bearers= tough.

I really like how the Tzeentch models look if well painted. So I would have to play as them. Although the whole Power range appears to be in metal, so it would cost me more, oh well

Well I kind of moved near Toronto, actually.

I said Nurgle but my vote is actually for Khorne. I just figured Khorne would be at the top. Since it is KHORNE.

Rulez and even modelling wise, probably Nurgle. Both demons and Death Guard.

But fluff-wise, Khorne. And we all know fluff is law when it comes to demons.
