I guess I'd try to resist, and if I thought I was failing and still had the sanity to do so then I'd just self-martyr. I prefer my mind and body the way they are, thanks.

This.I am so not into the whole mutating thing....eugh.

But... Some things get bigger!

And others can get smaller...

Or you might grow a wing out of your nose...

Or an elephant hedgehog mouse from your left ear...

Oh, I'd absolutely slip to chaos. Tzeentch would have my soul day one. There is no more powerful force that acts upon me in this world than the hopes, the aspirations, the fire within my most core parts.

MY FAITH IS MY SHIELD. I would never fall to Chaos, I'm far too loyal to ever even consider betraying my battle brothers! And if they fell to chaos, I would have to stop them, though I wouldn't enjoy it. Although if I did fall, it would be Malal. The Chaos god that hates Chaos? He might have a shot. I hate mindless bloodshed, excessive rapiness, excessive trolling, and excessive fatness, so none of that.

Papa Nurgle wishes to extend his greatest gratitudes towards you for not mentioning the fact that many consider him ugly, and hopes that one day, you too will become a festering pusbag of virulent plagues

It is your pride that will be the agent of your fall... that and your misplaced surety that your loyalty cannot change.

Coin-flip, really, between Slaanesh and Tzeentch becoming your patron.

That's true. While pride and intellect may protect you from Khorne and Nurgle, they are both paths to Slaanesh and Tzeentch.

The only assured way to avoid becoming corrupted by chaos is to be a null.

And even then you can serve (e.g. serving slaanesh as a null could just be a priest showering you with various carnal rewards)

Id condem all of mankind to eternal damnation if I got even a hint of what I was promised. The world deserves notting but missery and grief. So yes, Id fall

On the subject of falling, if the chaos gods were real, I'd have already devoted myself to Nurgle.

Immune to pain, and strengthened by illness, with promise of becoming a lesser daemon of Nurgle, to live for all eternity?

Yes, fething, please.

No way would i ever fall to chaos. I LOVE LOOKING NORMAL!!!! and more importantly at least being with the imperium means i have a cause or goal thats more than myself. There are people at home who are actually relying on me and my buddies doing our jobs to protect them. With Chaos its all about being selfish and getting as much out of it as you can. I would probably devote myself to the eradication of chaos. Filthy animals they are

An argument has been made (often by myself), that followers of Nurgle actually aren't always as selfish as the IOM-followers may assume. Nurgle harbours a fatherly love for his followers, and most of his Daemons act like one big loving family. Many turn to Nurgle for the following reasons:

- They need family/someone to care for them, after the IOM leaves them in isolation/desolation, as the cruel and harsh regime that it is.
- They are about to die, and (rightfully) fear for their souls, and thus look to Nurgle to save them.
- They and those around them are wracked with illness (beacuse the IOM cares not about saving them), and need respite (given by accepting their ailments, and reveling in them until Nurgle notices, and takes you under his wing... erm.... rotting flab roll....).

Followers of Nurgle aren't necessarily seeking power, merely respite. It is fear/damnation that drives them to him.

Though, admittedly, those with power on their minds find themselves becoming great champions of the Plague Lord, and end up much better off than most.

Ah, hopes, dreams and ambitions to "protect and serve", and "eradicate the filthy animals of Chaos". Mister Tzeentch, Mister Tzeentch, call holding on line 9...

You mis-dialled, and were redirected to Malal, "patron god" of the Ordo Malleus...

Haha i know what you guys mean but still, ever since i started there have been 2 factions that i find absolutly horrid Chaos and Orks. So no matter what from then on my opinion on them will never change. To me Chaos needs nothing more than a decent amount of Las shots and some good old cleansing. orks are at least tollerable haha

If i ever came closs to coming under the influence of chaos id grab the nearest democharge (or similar explosiive or anything) and kill myself along with any traitors fortunate enough to be close by.

I see your point, and raise you a situation.

Chaos tends to make you go insane...

And you won't always be able to commit suicide...

How would you be sure to avoid chaos then?

See, that's the thing. By the time you realize that you're under the control and influence of Chaos, it is far, far, FAR too late to do anything about it, or do any good at all by your self-immolation... and, in fact, your explosive end might be the best thing you could possibly do.


Just as planned...

Fall? You have already Fallen. Welcome to the fold, my Horrors.

Sis? You're worrying me... please take the contacts out...

Aww... ok. Don't worry, only the truly faithful can afford to joke about Chaos.

safest bet would be to kill myself after coming into contact with it. just to be safe, but even then...

Even then you may have been irrevocably and unknowingly influenced by commanding officers to fight and serve chaos (Last chancers book 1 has a similar situation)

As much as I would love to stand tall and spit in Chaos' face...I am too weak-willed. I would fold almost instantaneously.

Yes but thats being mislead, i wouldnt consider that converting to Chaos really. Although they would still deserve to die for accidentally serving Chaos....

Just remember.....Papa nurgle loves his children, even the children who do not know who their spiritual father is.
Besides another problem with staying adamant is the whole plague zombie thing, whether you like it or not at that point you are going "Brainz for nurgle!"

Ah, my favourite song!

It really depends, where you start out, does it not?
A normal Imperial citizen may never come in contact with chaos, and if he does it is quite clear that they'll be dead or fallen. It could be quite different with an Imperial guardsman... they can be quite tough, or astonishingly weak.
An Astartes may be another case which I won't discuss.
People that have been taught at the Schola Progenitum should have a higher resistance to chaos, I presume (though I might be wrong), through the teachings.

In case of myself, I cannot be sure, since it depends on the situation that I'm thrown into. Though I like to say, I'd rather not fall to chaos, each of the ruinous powers may have some leverage against me, depending on the situation (though, I must say that Nurgle and Slaanesh are least likely).
If I had the choice (which I wouldn't have) I would like to be on the end of the flamer that has a trigger, with some of my trusted, fellow Inquisitorial acolytes having my back.
"Milk for the milk-god and cookies for his throne!" (that WAS the battle cry of the khornate forces wasn't it?) just doesn't sound as great as "Purge the unclean!"

A better question might be "Where in Chaos might you fall? If you fall?"

I certainly would, and I would likely fall to the lure of Tzeentch. Specifically, a part of Ahriman's cadre. If I had a choice in the matter though, I'd like to join either the Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion or even the Night Lords.

I'm a revolutionaire at heart. I would devote myself to the Architect of Fate in the blink of an eye. The power and the resources to enact significant, world-altering changes? Yes, prz.

We Nurgleites shall NOT take a shower, nor shall we be purged in a bath of fire!

We shall, however, invite you to have a nice, relaxing toxin bath with us

EDIT:
On the subject of where I would fall, it would undoubtedly be Nurgle.
He seems disgusting at first, but if you think about it, that one is all perks. All you have to do is go over to some living things, breathe a bit, and you get rewarded with a loving family, guaranteed immortality and safety for your soul, you need never fear pain or illness...

Yes, and if you accept that smart kids get bullied in school, you're happy with that, too... Nurgle's path disgusts even the part of me that follows Chaos.

Even though I like Nurgle in a way, since he's rather funny and fatherly, those tender feelings () would never override my disgust at the decay and illnesses carried by Nurgleites.
I don't like Khorne, by the way, but it still would be quite likely to fall to him...
Slaanesh is completely out of the question that little upstart
Tzeentch...well, I can live with change...

But still: The Emperor protects!^^

Probably Tzeentch or Nurgle, Slaanesh would get meh after a while, and Khorne sounds fun but isn't my thing. Whereas Nurgle would care for you give you immunity to pain, immortality etc. Tzeentch sounds fun, being a magic badass would be great.
