Hey, I'm Thinking Of Making A Black Legion Warband And I'm Trying To Decide What Chaos God Would Be A Better Choice, Khorne And Slaanesh Are At The Top Of The List Right Now.

Please. There is only one True Lord of Chaos, but don’t worry; even if you do choose to favour one of his Greater Avatars by "accident" remember: it was always Just As Planned.

Focus on both. Beauty of the Undivided Legions. Berserkers backed up by double shooting Slaanesh units sounds fun.

Have your Warlord be a supremely skilled duelist obsessed with slaying enemy Warlords in melee. Kinda embodies both gods.

Out Of Curiosity, Could This Work For A Word Bearers Army As Well? I Am Still Deciding Whether To Play Black Legion Or Word Bearers.

Yes. The Word Bearers venerate the entire Pantheon. Both solid thematic Legions for this approach. (Plus the Word Bearers have amazing FW models from the Heresy era )

When you figure this out, you'll know which one to worship.

I've always been a nurgle guy myself. Love the fluff about his disposition, and I like durable dudes.

I am a fan of the Word Bearers fluff. My current army is based off of them.

Berserkers are really good right now, and even better with a Dark Apostle.

You could make a Slaaneshi Warband that is obsessed with close combat. Painting themselves in blood and gore and draping their armour with skins and skulls.

Use counts as Berzerkers. Fluff wise it's a bunch of crazy Slaaneshi Marines who have taken combat drugs. Give them some cool esoteric combat weapon as counts as Chain Axe.

You're better off with khorne, if not both of them. Khorne is bound to get new models again eventually, while we might only get an Emperors Children wave along with Slaanesh daemons once in the next 20 years

True, GW has a thing for Khorne so bad that it makes even Slaanesh uncomfortable and advises Khorn he should get a restraining order or something.

Personally, I'd pick a Chaos Gods that's suited to your own tastes. If you'd want to be Warrior or you even are one, in whatever regard, go full on Khorne.

Just to talk about myself, which everyone online loves doing, I went with Nurgle. Nurgle celebrates life in all it's forms while parodying life through the use of pestilence and decay; Hilarious and enticing!

... You should totally go Nurgle, he loves you, wants you, and will always be there for you.
