I know that you can dedicate yourself to a single god or undivided which worships them all, however, I ponder, would it be possible for someone to worship 2 gods, so long as they aren't arch enemies.

Ie a chaos marine that worships both Slaanesh and Tzeentch but not Khorne or Nurgle?

I would imagine it would be possible, but may create some back-and-forth between the two patrons, depending on how successful the supplicant is. Could make for some entertaining fluff.

That being said, trying to worship two bitter enemies (Khorne and Slaanesh, or Tzeentch and Nurgle), seems like a pretty fast route to Spawnhood.

That´s the way some Chaos Undivided factions work. The Black Legion or Be´lakor are good examples.

You try to gain the favor of many gods and, if you are successful, they will compete for you. If you fail...

I haven't seen any examples of two-three god worship in the fluff yet but nothing stating it couldn'thappen either. So far all I think exists in the fluff is mono-god or Chaos Undivided. Honestly a lot of questions regarding examples of Chaos daily life, religion, and culture is frustratingly unexplored (Chaos does has planets and societies just like everyone else, even if really warped and disturbing ones). GW spending too much time churning out more Loyalist Bolter Porn, I suppose.

Would it be plausible with another kind of undivided, one who worships a specific god as appropriate rather than permanent dedication?
'An Eldar raiding party? Let's offer up their spirit stones to Slaanesh, and hold a ceremony in praise of the Dark Prince!'
'Those Orks are our target... Khorne will LOVE this. Skull count competition anyone?'

I should think of a new signature... In the meantime, have a
