I'm mainly asking about the Chaos Undivided Guys, like the Black Legion or Red Corsairs. They'd probably spend some time on training, but its hard to imagine them just doing that.

They are evil incarnate, I can only imagine. Raping and pillaging worlds, practicing there evil chaotic summoning techniques (lol) . Hell who knows, from what i've seen they could be sitting around playing chess.

On the serious side, they pretty much train and lose track of time in the warp.
On the fun side, they probably play chess, using slaves.

Honestly, when their not killing stuff or around their superior's they probably lounge around like normal humans, Now that they are not terribly burdened by religious doctrine or stingy Chaplins.

I imagine that they do whatever they want.

That's the beauty of Chaos - they're unbound by any strictures at all.

One can wander in the wilderness eating bunnies whole, while the next studies philosophy while painting hauntingly beautiful pictures of daemonic landscapes.

In fact, I think some followers of Slannesh actually strive for perfection in fields such as social science, art, and mathematics.

So they could be doing that too.

Yes, they're a bit loony. I was thinking more of the Inquisitors, some of whom are drawn into Slannesh's net by virtue of them simply wanting to be perfect at something - art, literature, philosophy, etc.

They would most likely enjoy literature and looking at priceless (and stolen) art.

There is a fair amount of downtime covered in the Night Lord's books (Soul Hunter and Blood Reaver). Both are excellent reads, by the way.

They train, tend to their weapons and armor (along with their "serfs"), tend to the ship that they're on, plot/enact vengence on other squads, tend to the minials on their ship, plot their next course of action, and so on.

The thing about that is, those guys are relatively sane for Chaos Marines. (I said relatively).

For World Eaters, there is no time. There is only fighting.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.

The Emperor's Children held occasional gladiator matches back when Lucius wasn't Eternal. I'm not sure if they still do.

Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

They play Magic: The Gathering. After 10,000 years, I hear Erebus has freaking had it with Lorgar always playing a white deck. I mean, talk about freaking denial.

Part of why they went to chaos really. All the loyal chapters just want to play Yu-Gi-Oh! all day.

They don't need to play magic, they use word bearers and slaves for cards. Much funner that way.

Word Bearers probably pray. All day. Mine would.

Though, for maybe like, the Black Legion, sit around, train endlessly. Plan things. Call their mothers.

Some people play to win, some people play for fun. Me? I play to kill toy soldiers.

I imagine chaosy things.


Emperor's Children probably have a good mixture of heavy metal rock music, raping a world or 2, painting abstract art, trying to seduce that lovely Daemonette that lives down the street, and playing role playing games.

Black legion just sits around being Emo while waiting for Abbaddon to come up with the next Black Crusade's plan of attack.

Alpha Legion, posing as Ultramarines along with Trazyn on a panty raid somewhere.

Plague Marines, who knows?

1k sons, not much. Go out every now and then to kick a few puppies while waiting for Arhiman to get a Library card.

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

I think they would act the same (The relatively sane ones anyways) as they did before they turned, just now covered in spikes and filled with hate.

Train, Prep gear, plan for the next attack.
