[SPOILER WARNING] Why is Tzeentch and Nurgle always the main badguy in all the latest games?

[Nella]

I mean, Rogue Trader, Boltgun, Demon Gate, Darktide and so on.

All of them mainly feature Tzeentch and/or Nurgle as the main Chaos Antagonist. Why is Khorne and Slaanesh not really touched upon?

I mean, I guess I can understand why not Slaanesh but still, the prince barely features in any of the latest games, other than 1 side quest in Rogue Trader.

Khorne is hinted to be in the Boltgun DLC, but even then, it is just a teaser.

I'm slightly disappointed that when Chaos Starts appearing in the game, I'm being attacked by.... Blue Bloodletters of Tzeentch? Like, they look like Bloodletters from Khorne but just painted blue.

The game is amazing, and this definitely isn't ruining my experience but, I was just hoping to see more from Khorne and Slaanesh instead of Tzeentch again.

[I LIVE AGAIN]

no sex allowed for warhammer fanboys is a reason for no slaanesh or any kind of slaanesh relations in games

[Nella]

Well, Slaanesh isn't just sex. It is the excess of everything, even pain.

[ﾏｿｿｿ ₒ❤]

i heard something about the license only allow certain faction's enemy type, and technically you only need 1 enemy faction to make a warhammer game and prob to save cost?

maybe nurgle is the cheapest one if you want get a license to make a warhammer game? idk, it's just things i heard or read somewhere before

[Nella]

I am also mistaken.

After purging a few of these demons, they seem to be tzaangors of Tzeentch. However, my point still stands that I wish to see more Khorne and Slaanesh in the future

Slaanessh is the god of excess, wich is mostly things censored/fprbidden in many country, that makes it really hard to make a story with them.
Khorne is the god of violence and carnage, many of its fommowers are violent single minded berzerkers, again hard to make an interesting story with them.
Wich leaves Tzeench and Nurgle who are more easy to build a story with.

very good arguement.

Well, there is also Malal.....

Chaos is just boring, wish we could get a warhammer game without them.

[Palumtra]

I expected Charon (or whatever the guys name is) to fall to Khorne when he went berserk against the traitors.

Nurgle got pushed hard in the fiction over the last few years, particularly in the new Dark Imperium version of the setting. I'd imagine GW are keen to see it appearing in games.

Tzeench is a trickier one and I'm not sure why it's popping up in so many games. It did feel like the neglected Chaos faction for years, though, so maybe there's just a bit of playing catch-up.

Slaanesh probably pushes you up one notch on the ESRB/PEGI/CERO ratings scales.

[ForsakenSco]

is it not in relation to one of the books is why? my smurf lore aint great

[Doomvora]

Because most popular 40k games have lots of enemies and it's probably easier to rationalize the use of Nurgle for that purpose as a concept and have it not be "angry men with knife", Tzeentch is a get out of jail free card with story since you can use it in practically anything.

Khorne and Slaanesh both likely give rating woes which limits audience coverage, so they may not be considered for a "main antagonist" for similar reasons.

There's also the fact that licensing from GW is pretty curated, they probably push specific factions based on game premise to drum up hype for their figurines and overall story.
