Slannesh: sex, drugs, and rock'n roll.

My vote goes for Malal. He is just superduper cool!

There is a name whispered quietly and with fear even by the most depraved, the most evil, and the least sane of the worshippers of Chaos. That name is Malal, the Renegade God of Chaos. Any man who dares look within the unholy black pages of The Great Book of Despair, that foul tome held sacred by worshippers of Chaos, would find the following words: "...and he that went before now came last, and that which was white and black and all direction was thrown against itself. Grown mightily indignant at the words of the Gods, Malal did turn his heart against them and flee into the chambers of space . . . And no man looked to Malal then, save those that serve that which they hate, who smile upon their misfortune, and who bear no love save for the damned. At such times as a warrior's heart turns to Malal, all Gods of Chaos grow fearful, and the laughter of the Outcast God fills the tomb of space . . ."

And i don't care, for me, he is still part of the fluff !

^This

But if I must, then I'll go with Malice, since he's still part of the fluff

Khorne, because butchering your enemies into million tiny peaces is fun.

gotta be malal-he's literally chaos

In all cases, Nurgle wins

Beyond that, he is the only chaos god who is actually happy, and is pleased to "spread the cheer" as it were.

WRONG!



Slaanesh makes nurgle look in the mirror and nurgle does this...



Its cuz he's ugly and could never get laid!

Define "best".

While I like slaanesh, the trophy in my mind goes to khorne.

Slaanesh is defeated by discipline. That and if khorne killed everybody, then no one would feel anything.

Nurgle is defeated by khorne straight away. Kill the host, kill the disease. Khorne's version of entropy is much more expedient and straightforward.

Tzeentch is a sham god, even in the best of time. Whenever something happens, he swoops in and says "I meant for that to happen". Vague prophecies do not win against chain axes.

The only way to beat khorne is not to fight. That's never going to happen when you're being brutally slaughtered.

He can get laid any time he wants - he has a captive elf-babe goddess on hand, and as he's father of all disease he has to work on STD's sometime...

Aside from captive elves, I was referring to STDs as to why Nurgle wins over Slaanesh any day of the week. As Nurgle is the god of decay and pestilence, all things eventually fall to his domain, because everything breaks down and is eventually destroyed or overtaken.

Hasn't anyone read the CD Ccodex, Khorne is TOP DOG!

I was agreeing with you

My answer was in response to Shadowsnip's comment that Nurgle can't get laid

Nurgle!

Slaanesh after that.

Slaanesh is a weakling compared to the others. Khorne is the mightiest, Tzeentch is the most cunning, and Nurgle is the eldest. Nurgle is the greatest IMO because nothing can escape death and decay, and he is the closest god to mortals, embodying the will to live and refusal to just give and die. And I wonder if Slaanesh is angry that the prettiest goddess in the warp is currently 'living in' with Grandfather Nurgle.

Khorne and Slaanesh.... Tzeentch annoys me and hurts my head, and Nurgle makes me sick.... literally

Pleasure for the Pleasure god!!!

@Tadashi: Where did you get this from? I was under the impression that Khorne/Tzeentch/Nurgle were all the same age, with Slaanesh being the youngest.

and Nurgle is the eldest.

For the poll, I voted Khorne. Blood for the Blood God!!!
If you read some of the older fluff, Khorne is a lot more than just blind bloody murder.

The first three achieved sentience more or less the same time, but Nurgle was forming in the warp long before Khorne and Tzeentch, since his power comes from the will to live, something that exists even without sentience. I think I got this from the Lost and the Damned, not sure. Will look it up.

Thank you. I'd really like to know where that info is from.
I think the OG lost and the damned books are the only ones I don't have as far as chaos goes.

Did I hear Nurgle thread >..>

NURGLE!!

How is the Prince of Pleasure last!?!? The most alluring and beautiful out of the lot and he's LAST!?!?

Hmm, I sense Tzeentchian trickery at work in this "poll" . . .

Nah,

He's just not as hot as he thinks she is

Nurgle!

Pustules for the pustule god!!

I don't have that much of an interest in the chaos gods but tzeentch is the brains of the gods, plotting complex things to outsmart the peoples of the warhammer 40k universe 10 times over.

Nope, Nurgle is still the best, since by rotting things away even the most carefully plotted plan goes south..."May my flesh fester in death, and gove birth to life anew...for Nurgle".

Gotta be Tzeentch!

Khorne all the way!

Having seen & suffered the stench from ill/rotting human bodies (I used to work in a newsagent shop in a hospital*), Nurgle is most definitly not for me by any stretch of the imagination. I just can't stomach the nastiness that is the human body rotting and suffering - turns my stomach thinking about it and it confuses me why anyone would even like that sort of thing - do a google search to look at rotting bodies and that will cure any interest you had in Nurgle.

Personally I go with Slaanesh - pleasure, enjoyment, overloading the sensations with wonderous joys and, ultimately, the eternal quest for perfection in everything - art, food, music, sensations and everything that can be sampled and enjoyed.

*Patients used to come down to the shop to get sweets & stuff and some of them - urgh so hard to serve them without being violently ill at the smell and visual problems with their bodies. Yick! How medical staff manage to sort them out I don't know.

The best chaos god is the Emperor. Duh.

He'd have to be a ....god first
