My thing with Nurgle is family. I plan the family reunions, dinners, and events myself. Sounds like Tzeentch XD
I just like family, that warm feeling of being with people you care for.

Found the paragraph!
"In the cold, dark grimdarkness of space/Medieval Europe(Whoever would describe it as Renaissance should look the word up) where life sucks and everyone's a jerk, Nurgle cares. And he loves you. He brings you family, love and the time to embrace that love fully. He accepts you for who you are, just stay that way. Don't wash, don't change. You're great the way you are."

That seems like a great deal to me!

It may not be your fault though, more so the prevalent theme throughout Slaanesh is not supported enough by both GW and playerbase - perfection. Whatever though, this thread reeks of ignorance. I am 23, sport a beard and enjoy progressive metal yet Slaanesh is my patron God... Oh, whoops...
Sport a beard and enjoy prog rock?

Sounds like you have worse problems than this thread.



I don't think the OP said that Slaanesh was only about those things, just that those were the facets of Slaanesh that draws the new and young players.

Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

If I was to Go chaos (im half way down the path already, I have the codex but have not got any of the models yet) I would go KHORNE FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!

my reasons are 1 COMBAT PROWESS, 2 awsome warcries, 3 they look cool and 4 best looking deamons!

I like nurgle as well so would probably include some plauge marines or marks of nurgle.

And I honestly thought that Khorne or Tzeentch were the default pick guys.

This poll would suggest S as the least liked chaos god. The data wasn't gathered among "young, new chaos players" but still.

What dose that have to do with anything? Mature and smart what?


Thats what he was saying... that maturity and itellect have nothing to do with the theme of Chaos lists people play. Khorne and Nurgle are obiously the most popular. Why people play slaanesh all seem to be for the same reasons and none of them have to do with the reason the OP stated.

I like nurgle but dont really like the plague models for some reason as much as I used to.
Also since resin finecast came out thousand sons and noise marines are online only. Not as many people use online compared to the gamestore.

That is an incredibly rude and facile thing to insinuate about someone.

Most bronies I know of are loyal to the Imperium...

Chaos was my first and now my largest army

i didn't choose a patron god until i want to say about 3 years ago ( slaanesh ) only because of the uniqueness of the sonic weaponry

i agree that it seems that khorne and nurgle are popular from what i have seen....at least in my area

Never is chaos stronger then when all the Gods unite. For each embodies an aspect of a much greater and powerful whole. As such I am a devout follower of CHAOS UNDEVIDED And as such my prayers and sacrifices go to all equally. ( except when i need a really good dice roll. Thats when aunty Tzeentch gets all the good guardsmen hearts. And some spleens. )
