I was talking with my Employer at our friendly Neighbor hood Game shop. We got into a Conversation about how in the year 42k it was all gonna come down to Chaos Gods vs Tyrannids...after knowing how Tyranids "really" take over planets. Apparently Gork and Mork. The Gods that Orks Prey too are Chaos Gods.

He also pointed out that No one Knows what Chaos God the Dark Eldar are under the Influence of and the TAU...how did they evolve so fast? Who introduced them to technology like how we humans built Pyramids and we got 5000 years of Architecture knowledge under such a short time...to this day with Science we still have almost 0 ideas of how they got the ideas of how to build something like that so suddenly....was it something from an outside Influence?

Who would do something like that?

Why?

Perhaps they got influence and help growing up so fast from an outside source maybe? After all, They were Cavemen while we were Deep Space Traveling and we never interacted with them. We just observed them from high up.


So currently, we know there are 6 chaos Gods. I might misspell some names so forgive me.

Tzeenetch, Khorn, Nurgle, Slaanesh. Gork, Mork

So Gork and Mork ARE real and they are Chaos Gods so are their any others that might be out there that might have been hinted at in any stories that you guys have read?

There is Malal the 5th chaos god,but he isn't cannon anymore.

Gork and Mork are being who exist in the warp, there built from the same stuff as the chaos gods (emotion), but its orky emotion.

Dark Eldar are hiding in the webway from slaanesh, they kill and torture and send souls to slaanesh so they can live longer.

A lot of your questions would be answered quickly and fully by simply flipping through the respective codi.

Gork and Mork are Chaos entities, but are not "Gods" in the same sense as Khorne, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Nurgle are. They don't have their own kingdoms. They're just brothers that mess with the 4 Gods and act as a constant pain in their arses. Like that donkey-cave down the street with the Fart Cannon on his crappy Honda. Or the kids on the back of the bus that seem to make every second word in their sentances an F bomb.

The Dark Eldar are not so much under the influence of a god (Slaanesh, to be specific), as they are fearful of the wrath they would suffer at it's hands. They take souls to prevent Slaanesh from devouring their own. The torture, rape, and sodomy is just a bonus for them.

And the world of T'au was trapped in a warp storm. While time on the outside carried on as usual, the passage of time on T'au accelerated unbelievably fast. By the time they came out of it 6000 years later, their technology far exceeded the normal standard for a race of their age thanks to the fact that time inside the storm passed at a rate far greater than that.


Conspiracy theories are fun and all, and they're great for races that aren't covered much - Thexians, Loxatl, Bhargesi, and so on. But conspiracy theories about stuff that's well and explained in great detail are just sort of silly. Like the people that say Elvis was abducted by aliens.

The Elvis was abducted by the aliens,don't deny it.

No, he was outflanked by CREEEEEEEEED

So, How powerful is Gork and Mork? Does it say anywhere that their "power" is that of the "Known" 4 gods or is their power a mystery?

They're more powerful then the four Chaos gods, but they don't really care enough to use it for anything more then having a good 'ol orky time.

He is the only person to outflank anal probe.

They're pretty much the equal of any of the gods in terms of combat prowess. Gork actually beat the snot out of Khorne once because Khorne wouldn't step out of his way. And it's rumored that Mork has successfully tricked Tzeetch more than once. As far as their psychic influence... Well, Ork Tech works because Orks fully believe it will. If an Ork wholeheartedly believes a solid piece of metal is actually a clip of ammo, then it will shoot bullets. Imperials have tried tests that prove Ork guns and vehicles will only operate if an Ork is using them. Hence why Red Paint Job makes their vehicles move an extra inch on the tabletop. That should be a solid answer.

So is that written in a book somewhere because I would like to read more on the Chaos Gods and their Interactiosn with Gork and Mork. The Imperium and Each other.

Ok for DE they hate chaos and would never serve any of them as said they only eat souls to stave off slaanesh. As for Tau it rumored it was eldar more specifically harlequins aiding them. Gork and Mork and don't really know to much about but I don't think they count as chaos gods more like their own kinda gods similar how the eldar gods where before getting eaten.

In addition to the 4 main Chaos Gods, there are also 2 Ork gods (Gork & Mork), 2 Eldar Gods (Isha and the Laughing God; plus the surviving parts of Khaine), the God-Emperor of Man (if you count him as one), the 4 C'Tan (non Warp related 'gods'), the Hivemind (probably not really a god in the conventional sense), and at least 5 other named minor Chaos Gods (6 if you include Malal).

The ork codex states that the Ork gods laugh off the attacks of other gods then thump then good. Old fluff has them constantly harrasing Nurgle, tipping him over and what not, And beating the crap out of Khorne. There are manyGeneric chaos gods, Just not as big as the big 4.

Gork and Mork are not Chaos Gods. The Chaos Gods are Warp-entities who want to... well, spread Chaos, as in the malevolent side of the Warp.

Gork, Mork, and the other 'gods' are just different kinds of Warp-entities. Gork is no more a Chaos God than Isha or Vaul.

Gork and Mork are more powerful than the 4 chaos gods, Mork > Tzeentch & Slaneesh, and Gork > Khorne & Nurgle.

I bet that really pisses Tzeentch off.

Why would it? It's all according to plan.
