Hello, this is rather strange but hear me out for a moment. I have been working on a "Fall of Cadia" RP in PT2M. It is a rather big project and I consider myself amateur to very casual at best. I am looking for a Co-op to help me with it. If you are interested. ID name is 564399784677605415.

Khorne can have his more complicate side, it's vastly downplayed these days particularly in 40k compared to wfb but one aspect of Khorne is the god of martial pride and discipline.
It's the trap of the valient Knight who is constantly at risk of moving from fighting for his cause to fighting purely for the glory and rush of battle.

As a Nurgle fan, this hurts me.

Nurgle's not even a chaos god until its plot relevant anymore

It's just not the same as a roaring chainsaw, vibrating so satisfyingly when placed correctly.

Who the fuck are even most of those jokers?

Putting Nurgle above Slaanesh is also pretty lame, I mean at least Slaanesh can be terrifying.

I keep forgetting Tzeentch even exists tbh.

Is Malal even still a thing?

There are only three chaos gods who matter: Priestly, Johnson and Chambers.

You must repent to Nurgle by giving him a prolonged hug.

It is entirely possible that the Space Marine Scouts are on their way out.

Basically I put in every minor being that Games Workshop has ever officially called a Chaos God in any of its settings, and put them in between Nurgle and Slaanesh, to illustrate how much I hate Slaanesh.

Malal isn't a thing anymore due to trademark disputes, Great Horned Rat is a minor Chaos God in Age of Sigmar only, Necoho and Zuvassin are spinoffs of Malal to get around trademark disputes, Arianka, Solkan, and Alluminas are "Chaos Gods of Law" that were introduced with one paragraph each in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1e core rulebook and never mentioned again, and Nuffle is the Chaos God of Football* from Blood Bowl.

I keep forgetting Tzeentch even exists tbh.

TZEENTCH IS THE BEST CHAOS GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! >:(

*American football, not the good kind.

Malal is still a thing in the form of Malice. It's the exact same thing, just under a slightly different name.

All of the Chaos gods have lost a lot of depth, something that makes sense in canon, but is bad for the franchise. I feel like Tzeentch is the only one that retains any of his original characteristics. You've already mentioned Khorne and Nurgle was mentioned as well, but Slaanesh got hit the hardest. Instead of being passion, vice, and sensation, Slaanesh is now sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. While those are parts of Slaanesh's domain, that is such a small area. The EC fell because of their various passions, and that side of Slaanesh isn't even mentioned nowadays.

That's a shame. The scout snipers in particular are some of the most interesting bits out there for conversions.

They had a good run though.

Alright alright alright, got a random what if scenario for you guys and grils:

Perturabo.

Is a loyalist primarch that is brought back in place of Roboute Guilliman, how do you think he fares at ruling the Imperium in the 41st Millennium.

Tzeentch just wants you to think he is not doing anything, so that you'll never see it coming once his countless subtle manipulations start to bear fruit.

Exactly, if you can't see what tzeentch is doing then you obviously aren't operating on a high enough plane of thought and you have already lost. Of course conversely if you can see what it is up to then obviously that's just what tzeentch wants you to see and you have already lost.

In the end everything that happens is just as planned.

If Dorn still lives he'd become a traitor I feel.

They used to be. In ye ancient space marines painting guide I have they are the only ones where the base coat was thier colour. The others all had a different much darker base coat that you dry brushed over with a lighter colour to build up the main colour with. Salamanders/dark angels started with black, blood angels with terracotta (onto which you brushed orange) and the space wolves had a dark blue-grey. I think in 2nd edt things kind of leveled out but ultramarine blue is still a pretty forgiving colour to work with.
