For the ... looks like fourth time, this thread is not about the Legions dedicating themselves to a particular Chaos God but rather a particular Chaos God going after them.

Interesting point about Slaaneshi temptation, however.

Iron Warriors also seem more ambitious and eager for change than some; which is pretty Tzeentch-esque.

Well Tzeentch loves him a bit of change and ambition, and the Iron Warriors seem to be quite proactive, ambitious and bitterly anti-Imperium. I mean, they seem more keen than some to actually overthrow the buggers.

Then again, they're pretty hateful, and that's Khorne.

I don't know that their anti-Imperial attitude speaks much to change ... given they've held it with the same burning intensity for 10,000 years. In the sense of advocating the destruction of the Imperium, I suppose all the Traitor Legions seek "change."

I'd agree that they seem to have Khornate traits -- but I do have a question about that. The IW love weaponry but is love of weaponry really Khornate? I mean, Khorne seems to care insofar as he seems to prefer up-close-and-personal killing to ranged murder. But does he care if you use a powersword, chain axe, or BGB to get the job done?

I kind of like thinking of them as at least somewhat Khornate, however, just because I love the image of an IW Lord astride a Juggenaut.

Iron Warriors and Night Lords would probably fall under the realms of the Old school Malal. Even though it doesnt exist anymore. They like to F S U for the sake of Fing S U though and he seems to be the guy for that.
