Nurgle: "I spied the mansion and the one that lived within. And I decayed, and I withered." Khorne: "He looked at me with eyes of hatred and rage. And now the fury is mine." Slaanesh: "I saw the umbral princeling of Chaos. And he was nourished by our cravings." Tzeentch: "Their skin crawls with changing faces. Each one speaks ten lies for every truth."
These one lines are so dope. Tzeentch one reminds me of Bloodborne, also filled with great one liners: "We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open... Fear the old blood." "As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy!" - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare
It’s fitting because in certain lore pieces, Nurgle is described as being a literal mountain sized Great Unclean One, so you could look at him from SEVERAL miles away, and he would still look colossal.
@@gulanggaper6528 Well in Slaanesh’s case, it really depends, much like Tzeentch, Slaanesh changes shapes constantly, one minute she looks angelically beautiful, other times he looks terrifying, the lore however sometimes describes the Chaos gods looking like GIGANTIC versions of there greater daemons, that’s why in this vid, Slaanesh looks like a Keeper of secrets with 6 arms, rather the the usual 4 arms that most KOS have.
Whenever I see images of them in the skybox I can't help but think of the chaos gods as looking down on models while playing a wargame like the TT players.
Some characters have voicelines when selected on the campaign map that do something similar, such as Arkhan the Black saying “You are not him!” (In reference to the fact the person controlling him, you, are not his true master: Nagash). I believe the generic Chaos melee lord, one skaven grey seer line, and some other lords also have similar lines about being controlled by the player
Hilariously, in one book, the mage Caledor and the Elf deity Khaine play a tabletop match to decide the fate of Ulthuan so the Chaos Gods doing that would easily be possible. "Death tipped the piece representing the Witch King to one side, signalling his resignation. He raised his pale hand in ironic mocking salute. ‘Well played,’ he said, rising from his chair with an air of resignation. ‘Perhaps next time I will win.’ Caledor felt strangely confused and oddly empty. He knew he was missing something. He knew he had forgotten something. He had a task to do but he could not remember what it was. ‘Perhaps next time I will let you,’ he said, so softly that he doubted Death could hear." Bane of Malekith page 149 on my digital copy.
Tzeentch was shattered by the other 3 gods in fantasy, so he doesnt have a full body. Infact, all eyes you see throughout tzeentch corrupted lands are likely fragments ofhim
@@datsolis I suspected this. And now I know it is true. But then the question remains. Is Tzeentch more terrifying now as shards of himself or as he is whole in WH40k?
@@Nightbanekaizer if anything, it gives the sense that Tzeentch might just be astoundingly powerful if he can keep up with the other gods even in a shattered state.

Props to Tzeentch for being the only god not hiding in the shadows or clouds!!! And props to him for being fucking terrifying, will never unsee what I saw
@@larryrogers360 He's the eyes. The other three gods shattered him so he doesn't have a full body like they do anymore. Technically that would probably mean that all eyes across Tzeentchian corruption are Tzeentch's eyes.
I like how Nurgle is an outline of old art, and Khorne is straight up said art flashing in the sky. An then there's fucking Slaanesh, looking like they're trying to lead you into a back ally to steal your kidneys for more super meth.
You are aware that Tzeenth's apperance changes every nanosecond, and every inch or less looks differently from the other and has independent rules of how it changes. How we depict him is just an image of his looks at some point in time. I dare say that whoever saw him, later when trying to draw it down, the person's mind rationalized what it saw into it making some sense, the final result being the iconography.
Fun fact, they don't actually disappear. They just fade out for a while. Jostle the camera in place for a bit and they'll come back into focus for you to get a better look.
of all the ones that they showed, Nurgle unsettled me the most. he wasn't hiding. He wasn't trying to be scary. He just loomed in the distance. Unstoppable, inevitable, all encompassing. There is no escape from Entropy.
Incorrect. The scientific concept of that flawed idea is nothing more than a false prophet of defeatists caused by a lack of data, no more than the fear of a sailor thinking they'll fall off the uncharted areas of the map. Decay is just an extant form of life, and from rot grows the fecundity of life. You can never truly sterilize an area, and each attempt only strengthens the fertility of life. Nurgle is the god of ENDURANCE and fecundity, not death and destruction. His worshippers spit in the death and shrug off any wounds they endanger. *Did you truly think you could escape so easily?* The concept of death is merely just a solipsism of humans. Matter can not be created or destroyed. It merely changes forms. And it is definitly stoppable. Have you ever heard of negentropy? Contrary to popular believe life INCREASES with efficiency over time, as evidenced by evolution both physical and evolutionary. Anything that falls is just seperating the wheat from the chaff
I love the Nurgle voiceline. “The Mansion” is such a vague and undefinable concept. It just speaks to an enclosed hollow space but also with a sense of grandeur. Almost like “mansion”is the only way the human mind can comprehend or rationalise it. Also the fact that the word “spied” is used implies that the space was only glimpsed. And the one that dwelt within could be anything. Very lovecraftian.
Also "I decayed, I withered." Could be Nurgle talking about themselves but it could also be actions they are subjecting on another. Nurgle could be decaying the mansion or withering the one inside. Maybe it's a reference to Sigmar?
Is it? Slaanesh and his followers are probably one of if not the most terrifying things you can see in Warhammer world. There is a reason why in older Editions Slaanesh minions used to have immunity to Psychology. They've seen it all, you can't Impress them really.
@@alvarousometon3649 Nah, being tortured by Slaanesh sounds like a better fate than Dark Elves/Eldar due to the fact Slaanesh wants you to feel pleasure while the Dark Elves/Eldar want you to feel pain.
@@mr.cuddlesworth3144 No bro, why do you think Dark Elves do that? Because Slaanesh likes what they do. Slaanesh is both extremes of pain and pleasure. Slaanesh would make you feel pure pain if they're torturing you.
Imagine dedicating your life in service to the dark gods, you make a bargain of everything you once held dear for just a glimpse of your dark patron. And then a .png of an eye blinks on in the sky for .7 seconds. Tzeentch, you've done it again.
It's awesome to see them in game like this, looking down as we fight it out with their favored. They've done a great job with the chaos factions, its nice to see Slaanesh and T'zeench in a game along with their followers, all we've gotten for a long time now is just Nurgle and Khorne. Playing as Kairos on any mode but legendary makes sense from a lore point with saving/loading your game, you can just play it off as looking into the past and future. Also interesting tid-bit, one of N'kari's voice lines on the campaign map is "Do you think you're safe up there?" Given how I didn't have him next to any mountains or enemy armies when he said it, I'm assuming he was talking to me lol
There are a lot of minor 4th wall breaks in this game with Chaos and other powerful entities. Chaos lords sometimes ask "Are you a God?!" When selected, for example.
@@tgbbegttg5018 There has been a theory/headcanon in Warhammer (both Fantasy and 40K) about a repeating phrase across the franchise: "The laughter of ever thirsting Gods", indeed this phrase appears even in this game, when a faction is destroyed.

God the picture you brought up of Slaanesh looks so fucking cool. completely Black background against this twisted shape thats not even on center with the screen. It’s like a nightmare.
imagine being Khorne seeing some puny mortals entering your realm with the goal to get a fragment of a thing that will help them to get Ursun's blood, soul, body and etc, while you can't do anything against them that are breaking your toys.
I mean, blood is being spilled. Khorne is happy to see these little troupes of clowns fight for his amusement, just look at how Tuska Daemonkilla is treated in 40k
Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it does. In entering his realm, the invaders inevitably partake in his sadistic wargames, spilling blood and adding skulls to his throne. That should make him as close to happy as he can get.

Nurgle: Ah, these playthings will make a nice mat of corpses upon which to cultivate my latest concoction of disease. Such generous mortals to volunteer... Khorne: Bah! This is not entertaining in the slightest! Take their skulls and be done with it! Slaanesh: I will relish every moment of your agony and beyond as we slowly pull your undying flesh apart over centuries, mortals! Tzeentch: Come and take your prize if you will, little pawnlings! Every step you take is yet another chapter in my scheme while you dance to my tune...
Id say this depiction of Slaanesh is the scariest I have seen as its the only one that captures her true ugly nature, unholy mindless indulgent hunger/lust displayed in monstrous form.
I for one don't fully get it, in lore slaanesh is supposed to be beautiful, and their demons are supposed to be able to seduce you. The most depraved coomer in the world would be impervious to being "seduced" by someone that looks like N'Kari
tzeentch is the only chaos god who doesn't have a "true" form as the god of change is constantly changing in forms from a multi-color hues of arcane light, a mountain of gibbering flesh, multi-headed bird with flaming feathers & multi-eye mollusk the other gods do have forms Khrone is that of a black armor chaos warrior with a head of a dog and sometimes wings Slaanesh is that of a large keeper of secret but hides it with an illusion of a seductive pink goddess Nurgle just a larger great unclean one
Tzeentch is constantly changing forms, in fact he rarely actually looks like a bird. In this instance he is interested in the battle, hence why he takes the form of countless eyes, to not miss anything.
Imagine being Khorne Berzerker fighting in HIS realm vs stupid Kislevite and Stupid empire soldiers, after another good skull you look at the sky and see HIM. +100 Leadership and Unbreakable
In the lore, Slaanesh is the only one who has no true from, they change it all the time. Them most common form Looks like a humanoide Hermaphrodite with perfect proportions (nearly angelic), and black eyes
I'd say that it's only really true with Tzeentch. Slaanesh, like you said has a common form. Yeah they change their form a lot, but they have one preferred one. Tzeentch, on the otherhand, changes his form every time someone looks at him. It even says on on his page in the warhammer fantasy wiki that no two descriptions of Tzeentch are alike. Slaanesh on the other hand typically appears as a "as a lithesome youth, clean of limb and of indeterminate gender, though most perceive him as more male than female. His features are beguiling and young, and to look upon them is to lose one’s soul utterly."
@@Changeling-hn3hn Totally agree, I just wanted to pin point the fact that Slaanesh is a shapeshifter, (even if they prefer one form above the others). Tzeentch is clearly on another level, but like you said he's different from Slaanesh, because Tzeentch does not care about his appearance, or at least not as much as Slaanesh (something impossible in my opinion lol)
@@wikipediaintellectual7088 They both changes forms, but for different reasons, as I said before. But true, Slaanesh shapeshift is not constant, it depends on them mood ^^
Hard to make out the voice lines but I thought I heard. Nurgle:I spied the mansion and the one that lived within and I decayed and I withered. Khorne:He looked at me with eyes of hatred and rage and now the fury is mine. Slaanesh:I saw the umbral princeling of chaos and he was nourished by our feelings. Tzeentch:Faustian crows of changing faces each one speaks 2 lies for every truth.
I understood "then i decayed, then i withered" at Nurgle "cravings" instead of feelings at Slaanesh and "One thousand crows with changing faces" instead of Faustian Crows
Slaanesh is interesting as while this game has been great in providing Keeper of Secrets designs that have a profane sense of beauty, the Slaanesh are used is actually in of the old Keeper of Secrets aesthetic which Slaanesh itself was not depicted as, far back as it goes.
It's a cool detail, shame they hid it in one of the more repetitious parts of the campaign. Would be cool if they added this in battles that take place in realms with especially high corruption or maybe in a end game scenerio where the mono-god forces are spilling in at an alarming rate trying to herald their respective god into the world? Like the ending of the Vortex campaign where the Great Horned Rat tried to enter the world.
Wow i knew about Khorne and Tzeentch, but not Nurgle and Slaanesh. I actually spent time searching for them, it seemed wrong that Khorne shows up, but they dont Thanks foe sharing appreciated! Edit: Do you have any plans to showcase the whole campaign world while it's under various corruptions?
True, no matter how much I searched on Google, there are no real pictures that give a GOOD presentation of Slaanesh himself. The ones of Nurgle and Khorne are ofc astonishing, and Tzeetch? Well, Tzeetch is the lord of constant change, so he doesn’t really have one shape.
@@oznelnavnaekal6679 and probably there won't be any good representation of Slaanesh because no one survived all levels of their domain and came out alive (or dead)
Tzeentch is the most intimidating one for me Just pure eldritch aspect that makes you feel like “something” that’s above you in all aspects as a being is watching you Something you can’t even comprehend yet it’s there, and you are like an ant in comparison to just its stare
What freaks me out is that, in the lore, Slaanesh is said to be so seductive and beautiful that to even glimpse him in person is to become his willing slave for eternity.
I love how Nurgle is this obese mass of something, Slaanensh is an incomprehensible mass of tendrils, but Khorne is a dork with small wings and Tzeentch is just eyeguy
khorne and nurgle look the most like their usual depictions, tzeentch looks like what you’d expect them to, but slaanesh looks the most different from their usual depiction.
Friendly reminder that nurgle is the god of fertility, endurance and rebirth. Not death, destruction, and inefficiency. Decay is simply just a extant form of life, a step in the cycle. And nurgle endures anything the cosmos can throw at, as you can never truly sterilize an area. Every attempt just makes the survivors stronger and nature abhors a vacuum. Fecund life will grow in even the darkest and toxic of cracks.
Nurgle: "I spied the mansion and the one that lived within. And I decayed, and I withered."
Khorne: "He looked at me with eyes of hatred and rage. And now the fury is mine."
Slaanesh: "I saw the umbral princeling of Chaos. And he was nourished by our cravings."
Tzeentch: "Their skin crawls with changing faces. Each one speaks ten lies for every truth."

Slaanesh: I will relish every moment of your agony and beyond as we slowly pull your undying flesh apart over centuries, mortals!
Tzeentch: Come and take your prize if you will, little pawnlings! Every step you take is yet another chapter in my scheme while you dance to my tune...
Id say this depiction of Slaanesh is the scariest I have seen as its the only one that captures her true ugly nature, unholy mindless indulgent hunger/lust displayed in monstrous form.
Yeah, love how creepy she looks.
yeah but then again
one of the main half of Slaanesh' schtick is to make you eventually fall in love with it.
@@deadfishking4002 that's the point indeed lol
I for one don't fully get it, in lore slaanesh is supposed to be beautiful, and their demons are supposed to be able to seduce you. The most depraved coomer in the world would be impervious to being "seduced" by someone that looks like N'Kari
@@danielwoods3896they make you find them beautiful, while themselves are insanely mutilated and mutated.
Tzeentch doesn't look like a bird, with those many eyes he resembles a screamer more
tzeentch is the only chaos god who doesn't have a "true" form as the god of change is constantly changing in forms from a multi-color hues of arcane light, a mountain of gibbering flesh, multi-headed bird with flaming feathers & multi-eye mollusk
the other gods do have forms
Khrone is that of a black armor chaos warrior with a head of a dog and sometimes wings
Slaanesh is that of a large keeper of secret but hides it with an illusion of a seductive pink goddess
Nurgle just a larger great unclean one
hermerous mora from skyrim man with no frm and many eyes
Tzeentch changes form whenever he wants, the only thing that's consistent about Tzeentch is the lack of consistency.
@@beastwarsFTW
And even then it can be pretty inconsistent
Tzeentch is constantly changing forms, in fact he rarely actually looks like a bird.
In this instance he is interested in the battle, hence why he takes the form of countless eyes, to not miss anything.
Nurgle: An immovable mountain
Khorn: An erupting Volcano
Slaanesh: A Storm without end
Tzeenth: A Cluster of Stars
Imagine being Khorne Berzerker fighting in HIS realm vs stupid Kislevite and Stupid empire soldiers, after another good skull you look at the sky and see HIM. +100 Leadership and Unbreakable
Nurgle: belos
Khorne:aku
Slaanesh:the core
Tzeentch:bill cipher
?
I believe I know the references.
Resident Evil 8? The village one
Samurai Jack
Amphibia
Gravity Falls
Zhao Ming: "Did.. did someone speak???"
ahah nice you caught that
Tzeentch looks like Yog-Sothoth.
In the lore, Slaanesh is the only one who has no true from, they change it all the time. Them most common form Looks like a humanoide Hermaphrodite with perfect proportions (nearly angelic), and black eyes
I'd say that it's only really true with Tzeentch. Slaanesh, like you said has a common form. Yeah they change their form a lot, but they have one preferred one. Tzeentch, on the otherhand, changes his form every time someone looks at him. It even says on on his page in the warhammer fantasy wiki that no two descriptions of Tzeentch are alike.
Slaanesh on the other hand typically appears as a "as a lithesome youth, clean of limb and of indeterminate gender, though most perceive him as more male than female. His features are beguiling and young, and to look upon them is to lose one’s soul utterly."
@@Changeling-hn3hn Totally agree, I just wanted to pin point the fact that Slaanesh is a shapeshifter, (even if they prefer one form above the others).
Tzeentch is clearly on another level, but like you said he's different from Slaanesh, because Tzeentch does not care about his appearance, or at least not as much as Slaanesh (something impossible in my opinion lol)
I think constant changing of form is more of a tzeench thing.
@@wikipediaintellectual7088 They both changes forms, but for different reasons, as I said before. But true, Slaanesh shapeshift is not constant, it depends on them mood ^^
@@searllas1825
Well I'm saying that it's more of a tzeench thing.
I like how Tzeentch is the only non discernible one.
Nurgle is love. Nurgle is life.
Death too
Slannesh look really creepy
Hard to make out the voice lines but I thought I heard.
Nurgle:I spied the mansion and the one that lived within and I decayed and I withered.
Khorne:He looked at me with eyes of hatred and rage and now the fury is mine.
Slaanesh:I saw the umbral princeling of chaos and he was nourished by our feelings.
Tzeentch:Faustian crows of changing faces each one speaks 2 lies for every truth.
I understood "then i decayed, then i withered" at Nurgle "cravings" instead of feelings at Slaanesh and "One thousand crows with changing faces" instead of Faustian Crows
I hear “The skin crawls with changing faces, each one speaks ten lies for every truth”
@@DontKnow-hr5my I think I heard “festering crows with changing faces, each one speaks 2 lies of every truth but idk I think yours makes a bit sense
Rather fitting that nobody can make out exactly what tzeentch is saying, but everyone has similar ideas
@@DontKnow-hr5my crows are a Nurgle thing, it couldn’t be that
Okay Khorne looks cool
Nurgle looks how I expected
Tzeentch could’ve been more creative
Slaanesh…..
Creepy
Tzeentch I think just met a void god and the void god said him … fuck physical form .. become eyeballs
Slaanesh is interesting as while this game has been great in providing Keeper of Secrets designs that have a profane sense of beauty, the Slaanesh are used is actually in of the old Keeper of Secrets aesthetic which Slaanesh itself was not depicted as, far back as it goes.
I always think that Chaos Gods, being gods and all, don´t have a "true" physical form, they just adapt different forms for the mortals.
Fucking scary and intimidating to actually know that you are looking at a chaos god
thanks for the 900 subs!
Tzeentch is another name for Yog-Sothoth, confirmed ?
All the three gods: actual semi solid forms
Tzeentch: gee golly willikers, I sure could use more eyes.
It's a cool detail, shame they hid it in one of the more repetitious parts of the campaign. Would be cool if they added this in battles that take place in realms with especially high corruption or maybe in a end game scenerio where the mono-god forces are spilling in at an alarming rate trying to herald their respective god into the world? Like the ending of the Vortex campaign where the Great Horned Rat tried to enter the world.
Bro you look up and seeing the dark gods looking back, you know your doomed!
i like how nurgle looks happy to see us
Wow i knew about Khorne and Tzeentch, but not Nurgle and Slaanesh.
I actually spent time searching for them, it seemed wrong that Khorne shows up, but they dont
Thanks foe sharing appreciated!
Edit:
Do you have any plans to showcase the whole campaign world while it's under various corruptions?
that's a good idea, i will try it
@@TotalWarLibrary All forms of corruption would be glorious to see, I had been searching for such a video but no luck so that'd be magnificent
I like, that nurgle and khorn on their arts are visible enough, but slaanesh hides in the shadows, and we barely can see their body
They all look terrifying to see looming over the battlefield, but this “form” of Slaanesh has to be the most horrific of the four
Nurgle is like a child looming over his toy box.
I wasn't asking for this, but i needed it, thank you
Slaanesh is easily the most horrifying looking one.
i love nurgle's so much , it looks like an old fmv or promo art from the 2000s
So nurgle is a slaan
The chaos gods remained me of the 7 prince of hell
Something about the lines about nurgle and the delivery of which is just mesmerizing in a way
I love how tzeentch is just his insignia.
Slaanesh is kind of disappointing, but Khorne and Nurgle really delivered.
True, no matter how much I searched on Google, there are no real pictures that give a GOOD presentation of Slaanesh himself.
The ones of Nurgle and Khorne are ofc astonishing, and Tzeetch? Well, Tzeetch is the lord of constant change, so he doesn’t really have one shape.
@@oznelnavnaekal6679 herself*

@@oznelnavnaekal6679 and probably there won't be any good representation of Slaanesh because no one survived all levels of their domain and came out alive (or dead)
Slaanesh is absolutely terrifying compared to other depictions.
Seriously? Slaanesh is the best one here. You can barely even see Khorne...
So we are both watching our minions fight, sitting from up in the sky.
Damn the warp dust has not been kind to Slaanesh it seems
Either Tzeentch is hidden or its a living object like the old testament angels which is pretty damn cool.
Slaanesh legits looks fucking horrifying jesus my holy christ
Slaanesh definitely the scariest ngl
Tzeentch is the most intimidating one for me
Just pure eldritch aspect that makes you feel like “something” that’s above you in all aspects as a being is watching you
Something you can’t even comprehend yet it’s there, and you are like an ant in comparison to just its stare
What freaks me out is that, in the lore, Slaanesh is said to be so seductive and beautiful that to even glimpse him in person is to become his willing slave for eternity.
Slaanesh actually looks the most horrifying
imagine if you witness something like this in your life
I like how they get progressively more disturbing.
>receive hug from grandpa
>die instantly
The thousand eyes union told me this is nothing that will effect my p45. So I keep working.
Tzeentch flat out turned into his insignia. Fuckin Turkey-
Nurgle freaks me out the most. God, that face unnerves me.
Whelp. Looks like it's time for another crusade. Brother, grab the heavy flamer.
Tzeentch is just straight up Yog-Sothoth from Lovecraft Mythos
The Slaanesh one was creepy enough but that image sends chills down my everything XD
Interesting how Tzeentch is the only one that doesn’t look like his greater daemons.
Lore wise nurgle is the only one to really resemble his great unclean ones as they are made in his image.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. One of the first things I do when playing a game is to look at the sky lol
Nurgle's speech is the creepiest one, but Slaanesh image is the one that looks the most
I love how Nurgle is this obese mass of something, Slaanensh is an incomprehensible mass of tendrils, but Khorne is a dork with small wings and Tzeentch is just eyeguy
All of them wondering how the hell you got into their realm
khorne and nurgle look the most like their usual depictions, tzeentch looks like what you’d expect them to, but slaanesh looks the most different from their usual depiction.
Out of all of them Tzeentch looks like a true god beyond mortal understanding
Yog Sothoth probably sued Tzeentch for copyright infringement.
Tzeentch deadass doesn't care if you see him
Слаанеш выглядит устрашающе.
I love how most are shadowy/silhouetted, but when Khorne appears he is *THERE*
Also Nurgles is oddly terrifying
Cool detail tbh
Tzeentch; the most mysterious of the chaos gods, showing himself the most plainly to the player.... or is he!?
Friendly reminder that nurgle is the god of fertility, endurance and rebirth. Not death, destruction, and inefficiency.
Decay is simply just a extant form of life, a step in the cycle. And nurgle endures anything the cosmos can throw at, as you can never truly sterilize an area. Every attempt just makes the survivors stronger and nature abhors a vacuum. Fecund life will grow in even the darkest and toxic of cracks.
Why is khorne the only one that doesn't give me uncanny valley?
i like how they didnt give tzeentch an actual form
... Okay, wow. I don't know what I was expecting for Slaanesh... But it definitely wasn't *that*.
I wish each Gods had their own unique voices, not the same whispering one.
Slaneesh has to be the scariest one
