Which is your favourite chaos god and why?

I'd say Khorne because there's something liberating about simply not giving a crap anymore and just murdering everything in sight. It'd be like how everyone gets bored after a GTA marathon, saves the game, then just kills everything for fun before reloading the save.

Tzeentch, hands down. Between the 'I want to learn the secrets of creation and eternity, you there, make sure I wouldn't die from it!' and throwing the Fateweaver into the Infinity whatever, and the Changeling using his incredible powers to cut Slannesh's hair and stick Nurglings on the Throne of Skulls... Tzeentch just has a good time being everything from deception to magic. And who doesn't like a few tentacles on vultures?

Tzeentch, followed by Khorne with the other two tied.

Or in other words, the Wizard god followed by the Berzerker god followed by those two other guys.

Tzeentch, 'cause of "just as planned." Tzeentch is a man with a plan and he's going places. Khorne is in distant second, then Nurgle. Last is Slaanesh, mostly for the same reason people hate the UMs: The fanboys. I really like the pre-Heresy ECs though.

Yes! Changling has some great stories. I love the one where he makes the Grey Knights kill millions of Imperial Civilians just to place a seed of doubt into a particular Grey Knight's mind.

Tzeentch>Khorne>Nurgle>Slaanesh
He has giant birds and mentally depressed/hilarious horrors, who doenst like to be turned into a pie on the battlefield?

Am I the only one that remembers Malal?

Glory to Malal! death to the daemons! the paradox will prevail!

Slaanesh is my favourite. Not because of the whole sex and drugs thing, it just seems like the most relatable. I mean, everyone experiences lust/gluttony etc. S/he's kinda like most of the 7 deadly sins in one.

I also like Nurgle, I like the juxtaposition of horrific decay and the friendlyness of grandfather Nurgle.

I really hate Tzeench for reasons I don't know, and Khorne seems very one dimensional to me.

I remember Malal. Isn't he dead now? Or possibly posing as the Emperor?

Khorne because read my sig.

Nurgle, because everything must rot

The god of being born on the bare ground to a father who has already been eaten by a griffon.

My favorite is Khorne.
1. Straightforward and blunt.
2. Whats not to love about axes?
3. Snappy dress code. Black, Red, White skulls, Brass. Yep. Snappy.
4. Did I mention whats not to love about axes?

Nurgle always seems like he's having a good time. Plus, he cares.

Tie between Nurgle and Khorne.
On the one hand, there's a zombie Santa who genuinely cares about you regardless of how badly your body rotted away from the flesh-eating virus he gave you.

On the other hand, there's a red viking Hulk who only wants to kill everyone in arms reach in manly duels with axes.

Malal/Malice.

Then Slaanesh followed by Nurgle and Tzeentch tied for third.

That other dude bores me with the only redeeming factor being a really swell guy called Kharn.
