5th CHAOS GOD OF FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know... why isn't there one, you could get really unique with that one.

Is saw a realy cool idea of a chaos god of time, and how his followers where imortal and never aged.

I like that fear idea. Time too. After all, you get only so much time to live, and all mortals fear death. I need a write-f*g.

The last two posts should be combined into one, "all men fear the march of time". It is fed by fear, but it's powers are based on aging.

I like it, name anyone?

Now this is extremely far fetched, as the tyranids are utterly uncaring what they eat as long as its tasty

Besides why do it the hard way when you can slug it out in the warp against the gods themselves? the others do that constantly so another god that fights chaos as a whole is pretty redundant to say the least. I guess they decided there was little substance in malal in general and wrote him out. i say good riddens.

as for chaos gods in general its common knowledge that the 4 major powers are simply the big guys. there are more gods then numbers, but most are too minor to deserve a sidenote.
as things are you can invent whatever you like since the warp is literally endless.

I would vote the name to be Aikar, stemming form aika, Finnish word for time.

We already have the 5th Chaos God - Occupational Health and Safety. It's name is Mishap, and feeds on all the time lost to work injuries and accidents, as well as the pisfarting around caused by endless Job Safety Analysis' and risk assessments . Its colours are Hi-Vis Orange and Green with shiny silver stripes.

It's Greater Deamons are not giant bloodthirsty killers, or strange and twisted psykers... they are 5'6", portly middle aged men - half bald with a comb-over - armed only with a clip board, who go from squad to squad, disabling them by forcing them to fill out JSA's for marching, drill, and combat, then forming them into unions in order to strike for better working conditions.

Unfortunately, It's stuck planning its first Safety Crusade because it's still working through the red tape and associated paperwork.... risk assesments on the effects of bolter fire on both the firer and the target... the environmental impact of spent casings....

Exactly, I imagine them marching across the battlefield, while smoke or something obscures them.

Dramatic battle cries, like " your time is up" or something equally cliche. Or maybe just saying tick tock over and over.
Not the song, the sound.
Kesha marines. Eww.

Wow the thought is horrible, noise marines blaring Kesha constantly..... every being in the galaxy would be doomed.

Hey my Noise Marines always play Ke$ha! Glad to see I'm not the only one with that idea.

Anyway my CSM fluff is based around the idea that there's a minor Chaos Diety of hypocrisy. I think it's a fairly abstract concept that would make good fodder for a warp being.

The Chaos God of Hipsters.

Because the Greater Powers are soooo mainstream.

Why fight them in the warp when you can destroy their fuel? Malal already got whooped before so why would he fight them where they are strongest?

Plus, as nobody has touched the hive mind, we don't know what it's thinking. Nids themselves are a mindless extention of it's will and do not actually eat any of it. That's done solely by rippers.

"ALL I WANTED WAS A HAPPY MEAL!!!!!!!" <----- The hive minds endless torment ever since its mother didnt let it have a macdonalds..........

Didn't the UM Libby (Tigurius or something) contact the hivemind at some point?

Please stop saying "fifth" chaos god; there are hundreds.

DarknessEternal wrote:Please stop saying "fifth" chaos god; there are hundreds.

I'd say the big four are the only "real' Chaos Gods. I consider the lesser Deities to be Arch-Daemons or something similar.

Anyway, the idea of linking a Chaos God to the Tyranids is a daring one to put forth. The idea that Malal returns with his Tyranids to finally end the inner conflict of the Chaos Gods is interesting, but would culminate into his own destruction, as that is where he draws his power, no? But I'm really having fun with the Time God thing. The Emprah is running out of time himself. Sounds like a buffet to me.

there is Archaon

Who is Malal?

I think I like this Idea best.

a name could be Grímur- it comes from the Icelandic for grim (endless time spend on google translate loooking for cool sounding words!) or Sker-reaper in Icelandic.
As for colours I liked Kasrkai's Idea:

Any powerful entity that exists in the warp is technically a God. That includes the Emperor/Star Child, Hive Mind, Chaos, Gork and Mork, etc.

what about the Daemons. All the other 4's daemons are superior to each other in some way. Nurgle is very hard to kill with 2 wounds on basic plaguebearers. Slaanesh is f@#*ing fast, Tzeench is Psychic to the extreme, if I recall corectly pink horrors even get some psychics. Then Khorne I don't remember. The time gods could cause fear,/be mega strong?

I think the "sixth" would be something along the lines of death. fifth being malal. but look at the universe and all you will see is death in every corner of the universe.

One of Nurgle's domains is death

Maybe rewind a roll?
That would piss me off.

I've actually worked that into one of my Dark Heresy campaigns his Daemons were based on the fears I quickly grouped together: Darkness, Mutation, War, Unknown, Mortality(death), Tyrants, and Divine.
Also all hail Malal! Fear his Doomed ones.
