Tzeentch

He's so...meh.

Hey mods, how is this still a daily poll, when it was started back in 2011?
For the record, in concept, I like Slaanesh the best. It's mostly due to the fact he/she has done exactly what it has set out to do. Make the other gods hate it. Slaanesh is the embodiment of greed. It wants to be more insidious in its plans, stealing thunder from Tzeentch. It wants its followers to feel everything and become stronger for it, making Nurgle redundant. It wants its warriors to be perfect in all aspects of combat, allowing them to be more deadly than any single or multiple Khornate warrior(s). If you are voting for Slaanesh to be the most hated then you have fallen prey to his/her machinations. Congrats. Everyone tends to over simplify Slaanesh as sex drugs and rock and roll. Let me repeat, "Over-Simplify." When you only focus on those, what are you missing... Everything else.

In Slaanesh I see only what our society is slowly becoming. Greed and perversion. In Khorne our tolerance for violence. In Tzeentch our lies and deceit - politicians. In reality I suppose all four represent humanity's failings in some way. It is unfortunate.


On the other hand - how could anyone hate jolly old grandfather Nurgle?

I voted Nurgle... But now I see the error of my ways... Khorne for sure!!!

Not sure of the resurrection buuuuuuuuuut i would of voted for nurgle because he is dull. not the god but the army and how it plays.

I would say slannesh but that is because games workshop has't expanded/focused on the more varied aspects that can come form slannesh (and the all to common association of slannesh as a one dimensional lust factory)

If GW fixed those problems with slannesh (which won't likely ever happen) then I would go with Khorne, who is much to easy to imagine as a one dimensional carnage factory with no other goal (KILL MAIM BURN can get boring...but only after a fair number of hours)

Yes, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!

MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slan..... you know what it isn't even worth typing out the rest of the name.

Khorne.

He's boring. The other three at least have interesting facets to them.

They all used to have interesting facets and nuance

but GW canned all that for some dumb reason :/

Slaneesh. If you're going to kill, kill with honour.

Nurgle, because, ethic.

Exactly this, at least khorne has been mentioned to have martial pride. Slaneeshi followers just kill for the feelings of it, it doesn't advance anything besides one more joyride they have to go and do again, and eventually they lose their senses only to have to keep doing worse things. It's a bit pointless to me, everyone else has a decent enough goal, while Slaneesh does it for da feelz.

Martial pride had been reckoned out IIRc

I'm all 'bout that blood, 'bout that blood, mo skulls
I'm all 'bout that blood, 'bout that blood, mo skulls

At least it was there once upon a time, it's still more than Slaneesh has, although I do find the current khorne more distasteful, but in a way more accurate to a blood god being purely about dem bloody skullz doh'.

I personally think that the whole "martial pride" thing was born of the World Eaters, pre-fall to Khorne....Some may still remember that pride after 10k years of fighting as Khorne's servants, but I think that most will have fallen completely into the "madness" of their blood lust.

Wasn't there actual cases where corn would award those who fought in challenging things while those who just spilt civilians and weaklings would get nothing or even worse punished.

Well, Quorn stands for killing with honour. Although killing without regret does make him stronger, he is the good of pride and honour. He doesn't kill to inflict pain, he kills to... kill, I gues..

HE KILLS BECAUSE HE IS A PSYCHO!!! HE IS INCREDIBLY HONORABLE JUST BECAUSE HE LIKES TOO SEE THE GORE FIRST-HAND?!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I don't believe he is honorable. After all, aren't these to stand for human weaknesses? Honor is not a human weakness...

They don't stand for weakness, but emotions. And there once was a time when khorne would feel like the weak were unworthy of his wrath, now that's changed a bit by now, but there was a time when khorne wanted to only kill those who could put up a good fight. I'm assuming he still prefers killing someone who can actually fight back, but skulls are skulls. Also, I'm pretty sure he would reward someone who actually killed something scary over some random villager with a pitchfork.

Khorne:
He is just so unimaginative... OOOH BIG RED EVIL FIGHTY GUY. No.
The models are nice though, just not the fluff.

I don't hate any of them....

I'd have to say slaanesh

The one that gives his followers a re roll 1's on saves, the re roll any dice and 30+ power dice. If he stopped doing that I would be fine with all of them.

I hate Nurgle from both a fluff and game perspective. I hate how, if I want to play a decent army, I have to play Nurgle. And I just hate the whole "spread the love" thing he's got going. It's BS.

Pics. We need pics.

Khorne cannot stand him skulls for the blood blah blah blah

I picked Nurgle by process of elimination. The gods are supposed to represent subconscious thoughts, and when it comes to violence, perverted thoughts, and scheming, say no more. Nurgle's just harder to explain.

I'm buildting a mono-Nurgle daemon army, though.

I picked Nurgle. Most of the Nurgle-related models are just gross for grossness' sake. Usually far too much so for my tastes.
