It's like Tzatziki Sauce. The 'TZ' is like a short, sharp "tss" through the teeth.
tss-eench, wouthout breaking it up like t-zeech

Pretend youre making robot walking noises.
"tss-eench *stomp* tss-eench, *stomp* tss-eench, *stomp*"

Zehn-ch.

I did this thread a while back... I forget the results of that one, but I've always pronounced it as Zeen-tch. Always funny seeing people look at the word for the first time as they try to comprehend it

**Zodkop**

I pronounce it Zintch.

**The Internet is for Khorn**

I've always pronounced it "Tuh-Zee-ncth"

Blood for Brian the Blood God! Skulls for Brian's Comfy Chair!

Zee-nch

Fairly simple. You're almost always supposed to drop the T in the English language when it looks wrong, except when it doesn't.

Similar to the modern pronunciation of Knight, Knife, etc. Although fun fact, English didn't used to have silent letters, so Knight was pronounced K-night and K-nife.

I'm with the majority on this one - Zeench

**koooaei**

TzeeNOOOOOOGLARBLBLBLBL!!

**RedizDead**

Beware, fools!
The more of you write/pronounce him name in this poll, the more "He" tears the thin curtain of reality!

It's like Beetlejuice or Bloody Mary!

Oh, and yeah, how do I pronounce his name?

T'GORK AND MORK!'CH!

**Skinnereal**

A soft T at the start:
tZeen-ch.

There are loads of these threads, so look for Chimera, Baal, and others for how the majority say them, too.

**Wulfmar**

It's pronounced Creed

Perhaps it's all of the above, and changes in pronunciation constantly?

**Kosake**

T'seeeench, obviously :-p

**Thorgrim Bloodcrow**

Dad

**morgoth**

Tzeentch, like it's written really.

**Avatar 720**

Sausage.

Seriously, I cycle through any number of ways; so long as people know what I'm talking about - and it's quite obvious what it is I'm talking about even if I murder the pronunciation - then I'm not particularly bothered if I get it "right" or not, especially when it's clear that there are multiple ways of saying it.

There is the issue that all the Chaos God names sound.... pretty stupid.

Slaanesh? Ok, kinda creepy, I guess.
Tzeentch? Gesundheidt!
Nurgle? Are you trying to describe a drainage problem?
Khorne? As in "flakes"? Seriously?
