When adding in the background of the Storm of the Emperor's Fury, downright untrue. Not to mention that there's always the Custodes.

There is no background regarding the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath which points to the Emprah, his followers just think he was responsible, without any proof. It's appearance could be coincidial, or caused by the warpgods ( which are actually known for causing warpstorms and the like ).

Has to be Khorne in my book... all deaths in the galaxy that result from warfare further bolster his power... And as we know in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war; nuff said.

And the Chaos Gods would help the being they refer to as the anathema because...?

I again found myself tricked into thinking about this question and I again came to the conclusion of: Mat Ward.

It's not the Emperor anymore, and there just isn't enough information on most of the others to make for some reasonable speculation.

Why not? Are you a Chaos God that you know the plans of inhuman and pretty much mad creatures?
Perhaps Tzeentch or someone else didn't like the sound of Vandire's name? Perhaps Slaanesh thought that he should wear pink? The gods are mad and indesciperable in their games ( as nicely described in the Liber Chaotica ).

Besides this, for all we know the Chaos gods like the galaxy as it is now. Plenty of raw emotions to feed them, plenty of hatred, despair and false hopes. The Emperor of Man was refered as anathema when he was still able to actively shape the galaxy's fate, now he no longer is. His teachings are distorted and bend to feed a corrupt church, logic and science have pretty much become things of the past and religious zealotry and insane fanatism are commonplace.

I can't believe people voted for Chuck.

That guy's an ultra-conservative psycho that sued the publishers of all those Chuck Norris jokes for misrepresenting him.

And he was always Bruce Lee's bitch, anyway.

If ANYTHING happens whatsoever it constitutes a CHANGE of circumstance which is Tzeentch's domain. CASE CLOSED

Malal, every time another chaos god's power grows, so does his own.

Which is odd considering that this is a link to a video of Chuck Norris reading Chuck Norris jokes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA_hMq-JUOE

Well, it was mostly an issue of him wanting to make money off the jokes, although the suit did also claim that he was afraid people may think the facts are true (and thus assume he's some monster that won't give us his cancer-curing tears no matter how much we beg). And in any case, he's still a crazy person.

Example CN joke: "There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live."

Chuck's reaction: "It's funny. It's cute. But here's what I really think about the theory of evolution: it's not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live. We are not creations of random chance. We are not accidents. There is a God, a Creator, who made you and me. We were made in His image, which separates us from all other creatures. By the way, without Him, I don't have any power. But with Him, the Bible tells me, I really can do all things — and so can you."

I don't really care what higher power he believes in, but anyone who dismisses evolution in this day and age and wants creationism taught exclusively in schools is a lunatic in my opinion.

its the laughing god blatantly

Notice how he doesn't actually say evolution doesn't occur, but that it's not random (i.e. it's decided by God). Out of curiosity, what actual concrete proof do they have that Humans are descended from microbes do they have anyway? Last I heard, there were a load of missing links.


However, in my opinion it is actually most likely the Emperor. The Chaos Gods seem to fear him, the Hive Mind apparently doesn't actually exist (or at least, not as its own entity), the Eldar Gods never seemed that powerful to me (considering their numbers and the fact that they presumably couldn't defeat the three older Chaos Gods), the Void Dragon was apparently defeated by the Emperor (even if it was weakened, considering the Necrons have two C'tan awake and still haven't rocked the Imperium that much I'd assume that the Emperor's actually more powerful). Only Gork and Mork seem to possibly be more powerful, but as they say, knowledge is power and that is something I don't see those two haven't lot of. If you can't actually bring yourself to use your power, are you really that powerful?

Horus then told the Emprah to "Sit Down" and he has ever since.

Chaos > The Emperor

Emperor killed all of their champion, but he didn't want to kill his son.

When he fought with him, essence and power of all 4 Chaos gods where in Horus. Even near the end of his life, he destoy his son, his souls and shattered the Chaos gods ( all 4 of them ).

Even now he is f****** with them by denying them most of Human souls that goes to warp ( except heretics ). And he is doing that with 20% of his power ( 80% is stuck in him and poweringthe Astronomicon ).

So Emperor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chaos Gods

So couldn't he beat horus and the essence of the 4 chaos gods x 5? because he was only able to use 20% of his power...

God-decided evolution is a perfectly acceptable way to reconcile faith with science, but that's not what he said. As in the bolded part, he clearly states "it's not real".

Your argument reminds me of this:

Yes, that's because it's a joke, Chuck.

But anyway back to the point. I'm going to have to say Ynead. The Eldar fluff states that after all of the Eldar are dead Ynead will come and give Slaanesh a kicking, which rules out Slaanesh as the strongest. Also, Slaanesh defeated Kaela Mensha Khaine, which again rules him out. All we know is that Ynead will be the strongest out of all of the other Eldar Gods that have ever existed and Slaanesh, so it could be any of the remaining ones depending on how strong Ynead actually will be.

The "Emperor" requires the blood of a 1000 psykers a day in order to survive. Gork and Mork only require battle. In the warhammer40k universe, there is ALWAYS battle.

Gork and Mork. Yin and Yang. Shake and bake.

They require ORKS to battle. When the IoM battles Tau, G&M don't get stronger (though Khorne does)


And a LOT more than 1000 orks die every day.

You just proved why Gork and Mork truly ARE the most powerful. The number of Orks is uncountable. And they ALL fight at the very least each other every single day. So Gork and Mork are powered by an uncountable force fighting every single day everyday for always. So yes. Its Gork and Mork.

they should be 1 entry on the list by the way.

As are the numbers of humans, tyranids and daemons.

As is the GEoM, and the CG+Hive mind.

As a loyal servant of the Emperor, there is only one appropriate answer for me to give

Realistically though, the absolute most powerful god(s) in the Warhammer 40,000 universe are undoubtedly Gork n' Mork. The Ork codex states these two slap around the other gods in the warp for a good laugh, and while this may just be usual Greenskin exaggeration, considering the amount of Orks there are in the universe it might very well be true.

Malal would likely be tied with Khorne for second/third place, since his power is directly proportional to the other Chaos Gods. Now if only he could get over that pesky copyright

Although the tyranids are said to h ave equal or above numbers to the orcs in population size.

this is almost as bad as the old thread, Who will be the last race standing, and guys we arnt arguing about who has a bigger force we are arguing who individually is the most powerful, INDIVIDUALLY

Yeah, after research, I've got to say Gork and Mork. I remember reading a short story somewhere where they fought Khorne and absolutely stomped him. Remember, Khorne only gains power when orks fight (no matter how often that is). GnM gain power from orks just BEING ORKS.

not possible, Khone is the god of battle essentially, it isnt possible to defeat him in battle

his very nature makes it impossible

This is GORK AND MORK. When did logic EVER stop them?

1. Orks just being orks MEANS that orks fight so that point is moot, and also two gods fighting one-how do you think it's going to turn out? and either way, if it written in the ork codex, it may likely be from the orks' perspective i.e. a "vision" form a weird boy.

Orks don't ALWAYS fight, that's a misconception. They race, they fight, they build things, they fight, they explore, they fight some more.

Yes, fighting is extremely common, but it's not ALL they do.

Originally, I would have voted for either the Chaos Gods or the Tyranid Hive Mind however the terrible fluff in the Grey Knights codex changed this. I voted Matt Ward because “it would be shame if I didn’t”.

Well given the fact that in ork society in order to gain currency, you have to go punch another ork in the face and steal his teeth...

And the fact that they kill each other just cause...
