As in title. I was just curious as to what people's favourite god is...

Malal (if he counts) Otherwise, Nurgle.

who is Malal?

is that a noob question hahaha

I love nurgle, and nurgle loves us all. Now have a big hug from nurgle...cough, hack, gasp!

He's basically a renegade chaos god that represents chaos fighting chaos.
GW lost the rights to him long ago so it's not really a noob question.

This more or less explains it:

Slaanesh. Something about him is so Lovecraftian and I love it!

Khorne. He embodies everything about Warhammer: Spikes, skulls and excessive gore.

You ever think Games Workshop are secret Khorne worshippers? I mean, they do love skulls...

"I worship Malal, you've probably never heard of him."-Hipster Cultist.

I voted Slaanesh. I like the Eldar backstory, the Emperor's Children are my favorite Legion, Fulgrim is my favorite primarch, and the Slaansh models are my favorites.


Khorne would be close second though just because some of the models are outstanding.

Yes, thank you. All of my yes.

Had a good chuckle at this one

I like them all except Nurgle

must be the tentacles

I voted for Tzeentch and Slaanesh, because if you simplify the Gods into the emotions at their core, that give them power, that the cultists that worship them find enticing about them, I find these two to be the most enticing

Tzeentch is ambition, or hope
Khorne is courage, or bravery (possibly just rage)
Nurgle is contentment, or acceptance
Slaanesh is lust, or desire (and not just for sex you wacky perverts)

HAHAHA OMG that is really good.

Would have to be Slaanesh. Beautiful looking demons, even if it is only in your mind, running around, not to mention giving into desires and lust. Sex would be good too.

As opposed to getting killed, gore, rot, decay. Yeah, that sounds like fun.

What line for lust, desire, sex thing?

Slaanesh all the way man...he's your best excuse for eating ice cream for breakfast

Drugs, Sex, whatever the hell you could possible desire, Slaanesh!!!

Na-na-na-na-NURGLE!!

Well actually, I prefer the emporer of mankind in that fan fiction.... But nurgle is the coolest of the real chaos gods. Plague marines. Plague zombies. Plague plagues. It's all plague-tastic!

Slaanesh is my favourite (duh), and Tzeentch is a close second. I'm not so keen on Khorne and Nurgle, but I can't say I dislike them.

Oh man, now I want a Malal-worshipping CSM army in an all hipster theme.

As much as I like Nurgle, I had to go with Tzeentch. He is by far the most devious and manipulative of all the Gods, not to mention having the best thing to be a God of: infinite knowledge, power, magick, etc. And what a title too: The Changer of Ways?

Tzeentch to his Champion: "How's the fight going?"
Champion: Not to well, my Unholiest! We are losing!"
Tzeentch waves his hand over the scene: "Ok. How 'bout now?"
Champion: Oh my Tzeentch! You did it! We won! They changed their minds and went home for biscuits and tea.

Good stuff.

Right, looks like I've been an idiot again. Sorry.
Erm... then again Nurgle does sound a little better.

All of them, since they are all part of a bigger entity. Chaos Undivided rules.

If I really need to pick one, then I am a hipster too: Malal.

12-13-13-13 for votes? What a ridiculously even spread.

Just as planned.

I'm a big fan of Nurgle. I love the paint/modelling opportunities for those units, Death Guard are fun, and throwing nurglings onto random models. Greenstuff all the things!

Slaanesh is a close second purely for Noise Marines. Let's do drugs and then blow up people's kidneys with weaponized guitars.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!~

At 56 and it's quadrouple 14s...

Lol at the poll votes..
14,14,15,14... Seems dakkadakka is Chaos Undivided.

Does the emperor count as his soul is a presence in the warp?
Malal was a good one but now removed.
Of the 4 listed, I prefer tzeentch. I see him as the mastermind guiding everything. Even when the others are ascendant in power, they are unwittingly following his designs.

Tzeentch, Lord of Change, God of Chaos.

I went for Tzeentch as well. I just find that when you unravel Tzeentch on the whole he is the only one that you can consider to not necessarily be a bad guy.

1) Khorne has you killed and wants your skull for his throne. I find this to be quite bad honestly.

2) Slannesh likes to torture and will have you raped. Err, no thanks.

3) Nurgles gift to you is disease, oh ghee thanks. Even if he does grant eternal life what is eternal life when your fat, bloated, smelly and infested with bugs? Yuck. Not exactly my idea of a friendly gift. Give that to your best friend at Christmas and watch as he then stabs you with a knife.

On the other hand, all that Tzeentch requires is change and he is even not to proud to mess up his own plans either as well as any of the other chaos gods plans. His most basic nature doesn't require him to be an evil jackass, although I will admit that he often is, but not because his nature requires it but just because the war setting of 40k requires it. All that Tzeentch requires is change. His emotions as pointed out link closely to hope and ambition.

In order:

Khorne
Tzeentch
Nurgle
