Actually, Martial Honor falls under Khorne, too. It's just something that GW doesn't mention anymore because of their growing want to oversimplify. In fact, the very reason originally that Khorne doesn't use magic and eschews ranged weaponry when possible is because there's no honor in combat that doesn't bring you face to face with the enemy in a test of skill and wills.

In the original background the souls of wizards were dragged to the forges of Khorne where they were put to work forging magical weapons and armour. But the original and current background agree that Khorne just hates everything.

So I'd say it's moreso the case that Khorne is in favour of senseless destruction, and magic requires too much creativity, forethought, and organizaton; sorcery in particular would be abhorred by Khorne because it is about making pacts and forging coalitions with daemonic powers.

Yeah,Khorne is all about honour. He respects foes who come out and fight no matter the odds

True, a foe that runs like hell, or hides away, or executes a sneak plan is less likely to get involved in a MAD situation.

Now ya get it!

Er, what?

That khorne is not just about senseless destruction. He is like a giant samurai.Full of honour but must deafeat his foes. He loves a good fight.

Honour is senseless, destructive, and nihilistic. Sounds like Khorne to me.

So kharne loves orks?

Yup. Especially Storm Boyz.

No. Orks have no sense of honor.

Sure they do: Blood Axes are infamous for being cowardly, untrustworthy, and disreputable, for example. Orks are just more honest about what honour is, and it's just reputation. An Ork with a killer reputation has great honour amongst ork-kind. Take Kaptain Zagstruk, for example: A right honourable old Ork because he'll smash your teeth in if you look at him cock-eyed.

Well an ork with honor rarely lasts long... the cowards are the ones that live long.

Survival is a very honourable trait. If an Ork survives, he must be doing something right. Take Ghazghkul, for example. He's very honourable, survives because he's great leader, politician, and states-ork, and treats his skumgrod with the dignity they deserve.

Orky politiks eh? Well, basically boils down to biggest is best! And well, just look at Ghazgull O_O

Fine guys I apoligize. But excluding the famous warbosses that we know and... er ... are fond of there are really no courageoes orks out there(man I need to brush up on my spelling)

Sure there are. There's Mad Doc Grotsnik: He's completely fearless. As well as Snikrot, Badruk, Zagstruk, and old Zogwort, all very brave and noble Orks.

Ok another edit. Any one who is not a warboss,mad dok grotsnik,snikrot badruk zagtruk zogwort and every other ork hero you an imagine is not an honourable ork.There is a big leap from drunken ork warrior who loves to fight to honourable hero who will fight to th end.

No there isn't.

Honor changes inbetween speices so to any ork they are the most honorable lot out there

To orks 'humies' are the most cowardly race out there and the same goes for the space marines, they think that orks are cowards, but remember, orks retreat but ALWAYS come back to finish off a fight with more orks!

Exatly plus it helps to be a homicidal lunatic

So you guys are saying that if a drunking ork warrior came on to battle field and lost most of his guys and then runs away that's honourable? Clearly we have different views.Oh well.

No, orks retreat but they always come back, they never truly retreat, Ghazgull is a prime example of this, he got slapped at Armaggeddon 1 but still came back for some more of Yarrick! Also, there is that ork in the begining of the codex who is trapped on a world where they die and are ressurected with each new sunrise to fight again in a continuous loop, but they never give up. To secure that honour, to be able to fight forever, the warboss took on a HUGE greater deamon of Khorne and then started RIPPING APART the planet! It takes some courage and honour not to run away from something that huge!

Oh yea and remember, if a nob sees an ork boy run away, he shoots it, they see cowardice as being held in contempt, like a commisar.

Jeff - Chaos God of Biscuits

Theres always Malal Who is the self destructive god that dosn't belive in formalised worship or temples. The renegade God.

All this about Chaos Gods, what about the Gods of order?

Solkan

Arianka

Alluminas

I would really like to know about those gods. This is the first I've ever heard anything mentioned of order gods.

Yea.. I also would like to know more, I know there is an overlord chaos god that is mentioned in Fantasy Flight Games' Chaos in the Old World and it says the other gods are afraid to 'speak' about or near him for fear of his WRATH!

But that is not true honour is it?They knw that they will get ressurected so they have nothing to be afraid of.
