Here's a hypothetical topic. Lets say you're a pious Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and by some overly complicated series of events you are given the ability to kill 1 of the Chaos Gods. Which God would you chose? Whose death would benefit the Imperium the most?

Either Khorne or Slaanesh. My understanding is that Khorne is the most powerful because he feeds off of anger and hate, a pretty abundant emotion in the 40k universe, or Slaanesh so the Eldar will shut the hell up.

I'd go Nurgle.

I hate plague marines. He's responsible for numerous plagues that wipe out whole systems. Its harder fighting germs than it is a daemon.

However Slaanesh might be a good one, might get the eldar on side.

The Corpse God. His death would benefit the Imperium greatly - allowing humanity to be set free!

I'd get rid of Slaanesh, not because it would benifit the imperium most (that would peobably be khorne), just because I dont like it as much as the others.

Heresy. Under the authority of the Holy Ordos, I hereby sentence you to be entombed on an iron toilet!

Probably Slaanesh, It and Its followers are just plain annoying, ever seen a Khornate defiler painted in Slaaneshi colours? Thats how far Its influence reaches.

Whichever one you got rid of, would only be part of the Weaver of Fates master plan....

Notice how none of you are choosing Tzeench... just as the great Manipulator wills it.

Tzeentch, If he truly controls all the fates and is constantly manipulating time and events to his will then that would piss me off. I hate not feeling in control of my own destiny, so were I really in the 40k universe Tzeentch would have to go.

Clearly the answer is Slaanesh. That way, I could stop wearing this annoying soulstone everywhere I go.

The Failgod!

I'd Be careful from now on if i were you... Tzeench might arrange for you to have a little... accident.

I don't think that killing any one specific God would make much of a difference to the Imperium.

The forces of Chaos are strongest when they are united under one banner.

Killing Tzeentch would be part of his grand scheme, his death would lead to the deaths of the other 3 and then a rebirth of all four combined into one single being ... hey, now that's an idea ...

Hard to say.

Everyone gets angry, but not every bit of anger brings 'blood for the blood god'... so maybe not him.

Nurgle experiments with diseases and is a pro-active god spreading his 'wealth' across the universe, but, according to some fluff Isha lets slip cures to mortals.

Tzeentch loves chaos, but trys to pit the other gods against each other simply to cause trouble keeping them in check to a certain degree.

Slaanesh rewards the nutty perves and emotional manipulators that feed that side of its nature... if I could get rid of only one I'd choose Slaanesh.

The sad part is, he'd be back in an instant since humanity is pretty disgusting in the first place.

For the good of the Imperium?

Tzeentch. The brains of the operation otherwise described as the Ruinous Powers. Yeah, the sneaky one, the others are comparatively easy for the Inquisition to counter.

If Slaanesh was taken out it may be bad for the Imperium, simply because it would be so amazingly good for the Eldar/Dark Eldar.

Nurgle.

Skip to 11:00 and you'll see why.

Slaanesh, becuase right now I fell pity for the Eldar

Tzeentch becuase I think it would be the most benificial for the imperium, and as said before, he's the brains of the operation.

Tzeentch. Always take out the brains, not the muscle. With the Grand Manipulator gone.., no more mutations, no more JUST AS PLANNED, but no more hope and change... But the Imperium had none of those last 2 in the first place.

Take out Slaanesh and the DE have nothing to worry about.

No seriously, Slaanesh gone is an awesome idea, even with DE having nothing to worry about.

Actually, it might affect all the Eldar. They can quit their scheming and finally start to rebuild in earnest. Of course, it's not going to fix their murderous arrogance.

I think without Tzeentch scheming and meddling the other three chaos gods would be more apt to fight amongst themselves even more than they do now. I'd have to go with Tzeentch.

Slaanesh, his fallowers are too obnoxious to live.

Nurgle, then Forgeworld would finally start putting out some models for other factions...

Considering that a Tzeench God can just cut your life-string at any time and wipe you from existence without your knowledge.

He's CLEARLY the one that needs to die.

Slaanesh.

Blood for the Blood God!

As a radical inquisitor (pious in his reverence of Khorne) who believes that the Imperium can survive only by sacrificing themselves to the mighty Khorne (voluntarily or otherwise), it is my stance that Slaanesh needs to die.

Not Slaanesh. The Eldar (of both varieties) would go nuts and start reproducing, and eventually they'd go back to their old ways and birth slaanesh again

Nurgle. I love my plague marines, but inter-stellar plague and disease isn't very nice.

Tzeench.

Wars are winnable. Diseases are curable. Perpetual orgasm is... wait, why do people want to kill slaanesh?

Being able to always know the future and always lay down the correct plans basically makes Tzeench unbeatable. I'd off him in this hypothetical.

Wars are winnable.

In fighting Khorne, you fight war itself.

How can one kill that which grows stronger with every wound that is made and every life that is claimed?

It's pretty easy to defeat Khorne. You just need to exploit his weakness: love and cuteness.

Don't shoot a Bezerker, give him a hug. Don't fire bullets, throw flowers. And, then, use the ultimate weapon to defeat him:

I would give the power to that god to kill the other 3.
Not really a solution, but a step forward.

If this is not the option then Slaanes, so that Eldar can finally have sex.
