Subject: Which god of Chaos would an upper class Imperial citizen worship vs a lower class?
|

Upper classes would go full thrust into Slaanesh, with a rare sprinkle of Tzeentch.
Lower classes would love Nurgle because of trying to get disease immunity, with the psychopathic/sociopathic ones going to Khorne.
Khorne would be used by upper class manipulators to channel lower class aggressivity towards other lower classes or foreign people or powers.

Probably Slaanesh to cure their boredom.

lower class - Nurgle (mutations, diseases), Khorne (constant killing for survival)
Also constant gibberish about martial provess of Khorne is getting on my nerves...Khorne doesn't care how the blood flows - get it in your skull....
Nurgle: outward corruption of the body could technically be internalised. there are many at the top who would be patron of Elgrun, for very varied reasoning. one of which is power indefinate. the same could be said for those dregs and scum at the bottom.
Slaanesh: people have noted that the middle class to upper would be patron to slaanesh, i think every aspect of Hierarchy would be. everyone wants to better, even the scum. from the lowly sewer addict to the planetary lord himself.
Khorne: anyone in security or armed service or those too cowardly to go to battle but butcher people none the less (this means every class of Hierarchy as well, someone irks someone off and they want vengeance, everyone wants, No needs vengeance it is the grim dark of 40k after all)
Tzeentch: scientists, herbalists anyone with a brain, so generally those in the intellectual elite, and or research or those who know too much.
again it is all speculation as any citizen could be patron of any specific god or undivided. i note you haven't or rather no one has mentioned who'd be a follower of chaos undivided. (apparently no one beside the legions of chaos) Automatically Appended Next Post:
Thats not the only cure our Genderless chaos god would require, not after that rocking party last friday, a tag team paradise i tell you what
Tzeentch was a piker drank too much punch which khorne had spiked and subsequently fell asleep....Khorne was tea bagging Tzeentch because he couldn't handle his Spirits, Slaanesh and Nurgle seemed in a loving tryst. i bet both were like "i hope i didn't do what i thought i just did" (morning after)

What annoys me are people who have this bizarre idea that every single follower of Khorne is a mindless Berzerker. Why is Khorne the ONLY Chaos god who has one-dimensional followers?
EDIT:
Ah, here we go then, the usual quotes. How about we put a different emphasis on them;
"Khorne is the Blood God, Lord of War, Taker of Skulls. He is wrath incarnate, filled with never-ending lust to dominate and destroy, to conquer and kill. [...]
Under Khorne's urgings, his endless tide of soldiers are whipped into a blood frenzy and will fall upon each other in their desire to spill blood if no other foe can be found."
"Khorne is the Blood God, an angry and murderous God of Chaos whose bellows of insatiable rage echo throughout time and space. His great brass throne sits upon a mountain of skulls in the midst of a plain of splintered bones and lakes of blood, the remains of his followers slain in battle and those killed in his name. Khorne embodies mindless and absolute violence, destroying everyone and everything within reach, slaying both friend and foe alike.
The followers of Khorne are always ferocious warriors, for the Blood God abhors the trickery of magic and cowardly sorcerers. Men turn to Khorne for the power to conquer, to defeat their enemies in battle, to wreak bloody vengeance and to attain unaimaginable martial prowess. The most fanatical and dedicated to his followers, those trapped fully within his clawed grasp, know that he desires only wild slaughter. Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it does."
Oh look, now it supports the other side of the argument. This is why absolutist interpretations of 40K fluff are always wrong, because 40K fluff can't even maintain a consistent theme within the same bloody paragraph.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.
"Your society's broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No, lets blame the people with no power and no money and those immigrants who don't even have the vote. Yea, it must be their fething fault." - Iain M Banks

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

And what annoys me is people who think chaos gods are not chaos gods, rather their vision of something.....
Also don't blame me...Blame the black library....Also you if you can give me one example where that "depth" of Khorne manifests (book, codex) ,and where it doesn't come down to a mindless violence? And I like the simplicity of Khorne, he should stay like that...We don't need another Tzeench...

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan

Also the real answer here is "HERESY! NONE OF THEM!" [edit: removing off topic portions. Wrong thread.]
