Khorne isnt that bad...

[Daryl]

I mean despite being lord of skulls, fire, blood.


He does have his.. "Good" side.

In which he has a noble pride and whatnot
And he is against of killing people who are "weak"
In essence his chaos horde wont necessarily attack unarmes civilians and babies in that they cant fend for themselves.

And he finds it an insult if his warriors does. And would punish them harder than ever.

So if a Khornate invasion happens. Just piss yourself and they will ignore you

[Flightless]

They won't ignore you, they'll enslave you and treat you as worth less than the dirt they walk on because at least that will push back against them. If you fail to provide a worthy challenge to the followers of Khorne, then you'll be punished for every moment that you are too weak to shed blood in honorable combat and used for manual labor until you drop from exhaustion or you have finally had enough and try to fight back. . . or you were just randomly selected because it's sacrifice day.

If a Khornate invasion happens, plan ahead. Giving up is pretty much just guaranteed death, one way or another.

I dont think Khorne would accept the sacrifice of a weakling
and he hates people worshipping him instead of fighting...
Build a Temple of Khorne = you're a failure
Be a Khornate Mage = you're a failure
Be a Khornate Librarian = its a passable thing since Librarians dont use "Magic". Instead they use their mind powers to blow people apart

[Flightless]

Not really, no. We have plenty of text to support that followers of Khorne build temples to him, they just tend to not be . . permanent. This is especially common after a battle for example. However, they will sacrifice people with a preference to martial prowess for certain rituals. If that means having to kill a bunch of weak, useless slaves, sometimes you just have to take what you can get. With enough blood spilt, you'll get his attention.

so basically Blood C anime all over again
where the giant bunny demons put all these humans in a bag.. and then grind/blend them like a blender as blood is spilt everywhere?

That is very much the same thing. The differense between psychic manifestation and sorcery in Wh40k is in it's user's mind and other's perceptions of it. For one it was all the the same for the Emperor, Malcador, Magnus and the like of the realy high level psykers.

And anyway, at least in Warhammer fantasy books there were cases of wizards worhiping Khorne. In malus Darkblade cycle there was a beastmen priest of khorne who used his magic to buff his own physical prowess magnificently and fight his oponents head on. And it actualy pleased Khorne. I bet any practitioner of the lore of the beasts would do, and in case of Wh40k any biomancy psyker. BA librarians and Mephiston would make perfect Khornate psykers.

But thats the irony.
In 40k
Khorne despises magicians wizards and mages....

But he had a few Psykers almost reaching daemonhood


E.g. Azariah Kyras.

Well in my opinion Khorne and all his followers are idiots. I dont mean that in a insulting way.
its just. every time i read something about a Khorne follower, s it 40k or Fantasy.. they are already screaming idiots who bash stuff. Like half braindead Persons.

I really had to laugh at the Nightlords Novel. Its about some Chaos Space Marines and one of them follows Khorne. And he .. like those guys always do.. did always repeat that "blood for the Blood Good.. Skulls for the blablabla.." and one of the other Guys of his troop always slaped him in the face and told him to shut up. "Oh man just shut up with your constant blubbering.. yeah we get it already.. no need to say that stuff all day long". :)

Khorne also dulls pain on his units
so they dont feel pain
and also its a sense to remove them from gaining any "masochism" fetish which would then change them to slowly become worshippers of Slaanesh

:B

fun story.

[chef]

Nurgle seems to be the only one that's somewhat merciful if you want to call it that

[Flightless]

The Gaunt's Ghost series shoes some non-idiotic Khorne worshipers. They actually managed to retake many of the Sabbat Worlds, requiring a full crusade to retake it. The entry level for Khorne worship is pretty low, requiring nothing more than muscles and something to bash that guys face against. However, it does not mean that they cannot be intelligent and even geniuses.

[Harukage]

The thing is that when you worship Khorn you are either very good or turn up dead very quickly. Worshipers of Nurgle and Slaanesh are pretty lazy and have it easy by comparison.

Not so. Worshipers of Nurgle are expected to help spread famine and disease across the stars, not a feat achieved easily logistically or simply from the perspective of a person trying to not be stuck in containment. Worshipers of Slaanesh are noted for fighting just as, if not more, ferociously than those of Khorne. The reason being that, devoid of all but the most extreme emotions, Slaanesh can make it to where they achieve their desires much easier though the inflicting of pain and death upon others. Desperate to feel these incredible emotions that they've been brainwashed into needing, they will do literally anything with zero reservation. Where a Khornate might hesitate to waste their time killing a whimpering family hiding away from the battle, a follower of Slaanesh would not physically be able to resist often times.

Tzeentch is "EVERYTHING IS ACCORDING TO PLAN"

'OH MY GOD! YOU CRASHED THAT SPACE HULK INTO AN ACTIVE VOLCANO! BUT DONT WORRY ITS ALL PART OF A GRAND SCHEME!"

"OH MY TZEENTCH! OUR CHAOS SORCERER LORD ACCIDENTALLY GOT BEHEADED AND IS DEAD! DONT WORRY! ITS ALL PART OF TZEENTCH'S WILL"


"OH WOW TURNS OUT WE ARE ATTACKING ANOTHER CHAOS SPACE MARINE CHAPTER THAT WORSHIPS TZEENTCH! GUESS WHAT? ITS ALL PART OF TZEENTCH'S WILL!!!!"
