I get they say the 4 are emotion given sentience. Khorne is rage/anger and even honour in a way. Tzeench can be jealousy, self importance etc. Slaanesh is clearly lust and greed and egotism etc. but how is Grandfather Nurgle an emotion? He's disease, pestilence, rot etc which are essentially other life forms. Bacteria, virus etc. but that's not an emotion. Big fan of yours and liked your Nurgle videos but where is that emotion? Only one that truly fits is fear, as in fear of old age, fear of death, fear of pain, but surely khorne or tzeench would be fear itself, wouldn't they?
Personally when it comes to the Chaos gods Khorne's virtues are fairly in line with my own beliefs. Self-improvement, discipline, honesty, and the desire to protect even through violence. I'd personally serve Khorne because I value that straight forward honesty that he has above the other gods. I'd love to see a novel where a character is constantly striving to be the best while also balancing that against Khorne constantly whispering to go overboard.
@@NXTangl Self-improvement isn't being the best it's striving to be better than you were yesterday. Smarter, stronger, etc. While some take it to that extreme most don't
They remind me of Jujutsu kasien characters Krone:"Stand proud You are strong.... Son" Sukuna: Blood for the blood, Skulls for the Skull throne.

Hype if we get a Nurgle video. If I had to pick, I'd choose The Grandfather any day. His blessing might be gross and entropy, but after a while, you kinda just stop feeling pain and loss, and I could honestly go for that kinda autopilot right now.
"Experienced childhood trauma makes you prone to anger issues later in life." Might explain why I am in a constant state of anger. That or the damn neighbours kids are hitting my fence with their football again!
I'd say "Hydra Dominatus" but Alpha Legion don't really fit Khorne so I'll go with the classics: KILL! MAIM! BURN! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Ironic that Khorne is one of the most instantly recognizable parts of 40k, and it's not even him specifically. The "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" war cry is just so iconic.
No not really That war cry might be widespread and recognised as that war cry - but despite its widespread (or perhaps because of it) it's not as instantly associated with 40K as say a Ultramarine or the Orks/Nids - the war cry took on a life of it's own, beyond 40K itself
Brute villains tend to be great for starting off. They're blunt, recognizable, and invoke a basic insecurity that everyone has experienced at one point in their lives; physical weakness. Then as you get further into the fictional world, you see villains who become weirder and/or more subtle. So, yeah, it only makes sense Khorne would be the poster villain. Plus, all the red helps.
Ah yes khorne, I remember playing a world eaters player on table top with my stodes. He said at the start to me: "My goal is to charge at you and melee you to death, if I fail in that and you kill me instead then you were the better player." He had only melee units and I had a a lot of stodes with both melee and ranged. Out of respect for his sticking to the bit, not a single ranged attack was fired, we went at it spear to axe, head to head, Mano a Mano. I won with my stodes as trajan does like 10 attacks at strength x2 😂. Without doubt the most fun match of 40k I have EVER played, seeing 2 walls of super strong melee units charge into eachother with their only goal being to kill as many things as possible was truly a beautiful sight to behold.
Probably the most fun games I ever had (on both sides). There is really nothing like turn 1 walking into the enemy spawn with Angron and absolutely obliterating a Knight Castellan. If he survives until the next round, even better.
Nice! Way to fall to Korn in the best way possible! As a need to satisfy battle honor. I like the lore that says this was Korn before he was corrupted by the war in heaven
I got my father to warhammer 40 k and he immediately liked khorn and when we play with my sister( she plays dark prince ) he start shouting blood for the blood god ( sometimes when we go to boxing matches or training )
Khorne is also the God of Honor and Glory. Originally follows of Khorne were barred from killing the weak and defenceless, Khorne did care from where the blood flowed. There used to be stories of how the followers of Khorne while on their rampage, wouldn't kill children, criples, or those without weapons and the will to fight. They would just walk past, thus making the people think it was the God's blessing and become devoted themselves. However if the battle wasn't raging hard and you seemed like you had spirit they would give you a weapon to fight with so they could end you. Seems in recent years GW basically forgot this.
Please enlighten me on more of the positive aspects of the four Ruinous Powers that Games Workshop had forgotten. I want to keep that side of them alive through my own writing.
Indeed, Khorne did start as a God of senseless slaughter. _Every life taken by a follower of Khorne increases the Blood God's power. He looks with particular favour upon those who take the lives of their friends and allies, and the more death and destruction a creature has caused, the more welcome it is as sacrifice to Khorne. Any follower who lets a day pass without contributing to the bloody-handed slaughter by which Khorne is worshipped will incur the god's great disfavour._ *From Realms of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness (1988)* _The followers of Khorne are always ferocious warriors, for the Blood God abhors magic and sorcerers are particularly valued as sacrifices to his unquenchable thirst. Khorne‘s followers may feel they can justify their life of slaughter in any number of ways through honour, bravery or martial pride. However, the most fanatical of Khorne’s worshippers know that he desires only wild slaughter in his name and that all else is meaningless artifice._ *From Codex Chaos 2nd edition (1996)* There were some mentions of honor but very contradictory: _Khorne is a noble warrior who respects strength and bravery, who takes no joy in destroying the weak, and considers the helpless unworthy of his wrath. It is said that fate will spare any brave warrior who calls upon Khorne's name and pledges his soul to the Blood God. It is also said that Khorne's daemons will hunt down and destroy any warrior who betrays his honour by killing a helpless innocent or murdering in cold blood. Khorne's great delight is battle and the spilling of blood._ *From Epic Renegades (1992)* _Khorne sits upon a great throne of brass atop a mountainous pile of bleached skulls. Whenever a Champion of Khorne is slain in battle his skull is added to the pile. Khorne only respects strength and bravery, and considers the helpless or weak worthy of nothing better than a swift death. It is said that fate will spare any warrior who calls upon Khorne's name and pledges his soul to the Blood God. It is also said that Khorne's daemons will hunt down and destroy any of his Champions who betray his honour by fleeing from combat or avoiding battle._ *From Titan Legions (1994)*
Well, at the end of the day, he is a Chaos God, so the obvious inconsistencies in GW's handling of the lore can be set aside in that you can find both Bloodlust and Honor in Khorne. And this honor is primarily "martial honor" more than anything else, or whatever twisted and bastardized justification you can invent to reconcile the fact that you burned a Hive City to the ground while consumed by rage.
I'm not sure that this was something GW forgot - more something they remembered. From the early days, Khorne was very much a god of unlimited violence and the whole martial honour thing was something that some chaos followers chose to subscribe to. Early WFB Chaos borrowed very heavily from Runequest's Cults of Prax and Cults of Terror and for my money Khorne was based on the troll god Zorak Zoran who is described in very similar terms using many of the same words and phrases. Early depictions of Khorne (before everything GW did was seen through a John Blanche Thrash Metal prism) even looked a lot like Zorak Zoran. Compare the pictures in Slaves to Darkness (still the best RPG supplement ever made by any company) to almost any depiction of ZZ. These were both deities devoted to wholesale violence and slaughter and there wasn't much room for codes of honour. The idea of the Khornate being somehow akin to Predators or Samurai isn't something that really existed until at least the mid to late 1990s. If for no other reason than it doesn't make any sense.
Khorne is interesting in that he's probably the only Chaos god who would condone his own death. He doesn't care from where blood flows, after all. Even Skarbrand's crime was not trying to usurp Khorne, but being underhanded about it. Imagine if you asked a renegade Chaos Marine his motives, and instead of ranting about blood and skulls, he sat down and told you it was all a long con to kill Khorne. Here's my interpretation of that sort of thing, as a bit of writing practice: "The Ruinous Powers are neither gods nor spirits nor emotions given form. In the days of old, before your corpse god made slaves of you all, great minds asked what would follow if a thinking machine were to be given power without limit. They concluded it would pursue its directives beyond sense and reason, driven to every extreme by its singular purpose. If it was made to pursue something trivial, like making bullets for a war, it would dismantle guns and soldiers and cities alike to tile the world with its bullets. And once out of these, it would dismantle the world. Maximizers were what they were called, and they were nearly manifest during the rule of the Men of Iron. Such was their danger that your corpse-god himself pronounced a ban on the making of thinking machines. That is the true nature of Chaos. Ambition, acceptance, sensation and aggression, all your misery is the product of four mindless automatons fighting to decide which color of emotion the galaxy ought to be dyed in. And they are mindless, make no mistake. If they appear to have a personality, it is because they discovered by trial and error that acting that way maximizes whatever emotion is at the core of their directive. That is the reason I serve the Lord of Butchers. The others have a drive to maintain themselves. They've reasoned in their unreasonable way that their death is a detriment to their objective, to raising their respective emotion to new heights. So they smite any real threat to their rule. But Khorne would permit his own death, if and when his own blood is the only way to add more bloodshed to the galaxy. If and when we make it a reality. Many think Angron a nigh-mindless slave of the God of Blood, and they are fools. Nails or no Nails, no other goal would have our gene-father take up the yoke of slavery for ten thousand years. When the galaxy is nothing but war, when the Eightfold God alone stands above and untouched by it, he will see to his final task. He will then set upon the Throne the skull of its lord, the Lost of Nuceria will be avenged, and there will be an end to war."
A great philosophical take, but I'd have to add that Tzeentsh also does not see his own power as essential to the achievement of his associated concept. He does not try to win the great game for fear of stagnation and would arguably let himself get killed as well if and when that is the only way to change the galaxy, whereas Nurgul and Slanesh are onetrick selffullfilling destinies for an endlesslly unordered but stable future for the universe.
@@DieJacke Very true! Although we know a lot more about the Warp than in-universe characters do, so maybe our hypothetical World Eater has enough experience with Khorne to have some vague hope about his eventual end, but doesn't have the same familiarity with Tzeentch to make that judgement. Now that I think about it, his views are ironically very similar to Fabius Bile, who also thinks that beings of the Warp aren't really sapient (but believes they're localized warp phenomena with effects mortal minds interpret as living entities, instead of paperclip maximizers for an emotion).
As a therapist, I completely agree that Khorne's path embodies the cycle of rage and pain. The Butcher's Nails gradually creates a loss of self, making it so they only feel catharsis by acting on the anger. This cycle becomes addictive to the point that even pain itself becomes addictive, not just anger. Khorne represents assertivity, honor, dominance, and martial prowess, but also rage, bloodthirst, and savagery. An abusive parent will not allow children to be assertive, to have their say, or to stand up for themselves. They feel powerless and defeated, just like Angron did. They also feel unloved and would try to be 'good enough to be loved', like the World Eaters did. This creates resentment in the child, and they keep wishing they were more assertive or dominating. One day you give in, and rage turns to wrath. You would go through anything and would hurt anyone just to have things your way. If that is not the work of Khorne, I don't know what is.
This is why its one of the most saddest legions. There is a part on 'Galaxy in war' where it says "... a few lost looking warhounds". Thats the statement that cuts deep if you know the story of them in hindsight.
@@wellhiyadude1well, Khorne never lied to angron while the emperor never gave a reason why he took angron from his people leaving them to be slaughtered. Khorne is like .00002% a better father to angron than Big E
I'll take that Slaanesh Lore whenever you feel ready. You literally got me into 40K with your re-uploads of the tiktok shorts you made covering the different sections of Slaanesh's realm, followed by DA ORK FAKS. I'd also be interested in the Tzeench lore!
Khorne is my favorite Chaos god, I have dealt with anger management for a long time and I can agree that the feeling of pure rage and the power it can give me is addicting. I vibe with the survival-of-the-fittest mindset and the more positive aspects of Khorne such as Honor, Simplistic Truth, and pursuit of Strength and Martial Prowess
I love that you went into what anger and rage actually comprise. Its something I've actually spent an inordinate time thinking about and how it interacts with sadism and addiction, both being in Slaanesh's realm. I think one of the implicit things about Khorne and his followers that distinguishes him from the other Chaos Gods is an inherent belief in justice. I remember reading somewhere that people with anger management issues tend to actually be optimistic, and its the disconnect between how things are and how they should be that triggers a lot of episodes. I thiink that applies perfectly to most Khornate cults. Also helps explain Kharn's little internal monologue that time he gets cut down by Sigismund. He's convinced that he's actually the protector of humanity and Sigismund is the monster. I can't imagine the champions of any of the other gods thinking that way: Ahriman would gloat about his superior intellect, Typhus would comment that you fail to acknowledge the horror of reality, and Lucius would explain how much better his existence is that yours, but none of them would actually care if they were *morally* in the right. It also helps differentiate, at least in my mind, the difference between the rage of the world eaters with the more collateral, wanton destruction of the iron warriors and the fear mongering of the night lords. Neither of those are really based in the concept of justice (although Curze is obviously obsessed with his own concept of justice and the IW are famously petty). I wish GW would spend more time fleshing out the motivations of some of these more "psycho" legions, although i get that the nuance is part of the appeal.
it also sucks because GW has flanderized khorne a lot, hes also the god of honor, originally khorne followers wouldnt touch children, the elderly, or those who could not or would not fight, and were barred from harming someone defenseless but now its just the rage aspects and its kinda lame
One of my favourite ''characters'' on both fantasy and 40k. Soo simple yet effective and the way in wich proud and valiant warriors of any kind get slowly overcomed with bloodlust and rage when he set his corrupting gaze upon them is soo cool.
KHorne is by far the most reasonable choice for a faction to be under. Rage and violence can and have been used for good, he’s honorable, rewards power and martial prowess, and despises those who pray on the weak, and won’t just betray you for no reason. Imagine a khornate greater demon berserker who just thrives off of protecting this on meek human planet that every other faction is constantly trying to conquer and destroy, but nobody can because this unbeatable monster hangs around waiting for the next inevitable attack. Inadvertently making that planet the safest and most peaceful place in the galaxy lol
Khorne doesn't despise those who prey on weak. If you slaughter orphanages and babies Khorne would be totally ok with it. He is rage and hatred manifested. When you feel your blood boil in rage do you feel any honour in it? Khorne isn't just a god of hate and rage, he is the rage and hate itself.
Idk, khorne is *a chaos god* so I’d assume by nature he’d have at least a few contrasting themes right? He rewards unending adrenaline fueled berserk frenzies, but also rewards playing smart and fighting guys above your perceived weight class, and challenging yourself to greater feats. So if you were to be a follower, you’d end up choosing between, “I KILL EVERYTHING!” And “I fight smart and play good wargame tactics.” Honestly, all of chaos can be justifiably good, and the bad over-indulgent aspects of it are your reminder to let off the gas every few fights and orgies. just take the philosophy to advance yourself and stay true to your fellow man. (I know to suggest such is heresy. However given that it is a stupid offense I’ve elected to ignore it😂)
Not much honor in killing the defenseless. Khorne is the God of honor and martial prowess, killing the weak would not be viewed well, it would be considered a waste of time or outright cowardice to not challenge a worthy opponent with the time spent. Skulls not worthy of the skull throne but it will have them regardless.
Hey, i knoe im a random person...but i appreciate you squeezing all the content out of warhammer 40k u can. Thanks for your effort. I got into the universe by playing Winter assault, too bad nothing like you existed back then. Thanks for everything.
Nice video! Now I want to see you do the gods! I also wonder if you'll do a video on all the gifts a Chaos god has given to a person and don't mean power. For example: Khorn giving a gift of blood or a weapon to a person for their fighting.
I always wondered how much of khorne was inspired from Buddhism. Im not an expert or anything on either subject, so I never really looked past the "eightfold path" and I was never sure what exactly khornate cultist belief system generally was. But your explanation of how they come to see violence to be the "true nature" of the universe kinda seems like a 40k twist on the Buddhist idea of Enlightenment. It kinda has that sense of abandoning ignorance and seeing existence as it truly is. It also makes sense as to why Slaanesh would hate them, in the sense that Buddhism teaches that desire, Slaanesh's whole thing, and ignorance, Not knowing the truth of existence, causes suffering and that the "eightfold path" will lead to liberation.
They already have Ahriman for the Thousand Sons and Typhus for the Death Guard. It would be a break in pattern to not have Khorne's champion in the lineup.
It is to have cries of anguish and sorrow drowned by the thirsting laughter of dark gods. Forget any notion of common humanity or compassion. There is no peace amongst the stars, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
What Khorne says to other Gods Nurgle: You need a shower and yoga! Tzeentch: Stop reading and go touch grass! Slaanesh: Go to horny jail!! Emperor: You're cringe!! Gork: You're okay Mork: Why cant you be like Gork!? Hive Mind: No nom nom that fucking galaxy!! Cegorach: Stop laughing! Khaine: Meet me at gym later, old man! That "Tau God" in a warp humans saw: ....What!?! Nightbringer: Too edgy!! Deceiver: I dont trust you! Void-dragon: I like dragons Ommissiah: Neeeerd!!!
You're the person who got me into Warhammer Lore, and lore videos in general. You put information into an easily digestible and fun format, and I've spent many nights falling asleep listening to your videos. Thank you so much for all your time, effort, and knowledge.
Just wanted to say a big thank you Wes for the more heretical content. I really love all of your chaos related videos. You approach the topic from a different point of view that makes it all make more sense. It's not just the Imperial mindset of "Destroy the Heretic" and "Burn the Witch". Nurgle especially made no sense to me n just gave me the ick before... but now I think I get it after seeing some of your other videos. Would definitely love more insights from you delving deeper under the surface of each chaos faction.
Yes yes yes I have been waiting for a video on Khorne, keep up the good work Wes, love all your videos. My pick from the Chaos deities would be Vashtor, I have seen your video about him a million times
I really want to know. When did Khorne's rivaly change to Slaanesh? When i first got started. He HATED Tzeentch for his Trickery and Sorcery. No honour or melee. All ambush and trickery with magic instead of honest fighting. But at some point, it switched to Slaanesh, who meshes actually far better with Khorne, since a lot of Slaanesh's followers will go deep down the path of dueling and melee.
Stinky's ma man, I kinda adhere to its views, albeit pessimistic by trade, and he's a poor folk's guy. I mean, Angsty's all about warriors, soldiers, etc. But he cares shit 'bout common folks. In order to indulge so profusely into Lusty's excesses, ye gotta be able to sustain 'em, more likely ye have spare time and money. Meaning yer some rich twat that ain't bound to working in factories for massive periods of time. And Brainy's for the nerd type. Dudes with an education. Education stripped from the masses all too often. In the end, what remains to broke fellas is Stinky. If ye gotta despair, bring others to the feast, misery loves company.
My friend likes to think of following Khorne as a unique curse among the other gods. While the other gods have multiple facets to focus on, creating different cults focusing on different parts of the god, Khorne makes his followers a bit one-dimensional, losing most personality and becoming a roided beast that only wants to kill in close quarters. It creates a bit of solidarity between his followers. What do you think of that?
I think that my favorite thing about khorne is that despite being seen as bland compared to the rest of the gods he has by far the most cool and unique warbands of all the chaos legion. The wrath: a warband so violent and horrific that even the orks and the dhukari are scared of them. The harvest: a warband that build fortresses to basically farming their opponents for exp. Even funnier is that they once attacked a fortress monestery, killed all the loyalist from inside and shot down the loyalist above. JUST so they could use it to fight the tyranids. The brazen beats: a warband that specificly targets other chaos marines by running the over with daemon engines. Bloodgorge: same as the above except they spawncamp other CM from leaving the eye of terror and the maelstrom. Bloodblessed: YEETS chaos spawn at the enemy think it as the truest blessing of khorne. 66th armored company: world eaters that has FUSED TOGETHER WITH THEIR TANKS AND ATTACK THEIR ENEMY IN CLOSE COMBAT WITH THE LIMBS THAT STICK OUT. The black feast: world eaters that eat their enemy as a final "fuck you" for being weak. Bloodstalker: world eaters that uses snipers and kills their own men if they succumb to the butchers nails. The bloody dawn: world eaters warband whose captain has fused with their ship and killed his own crew with orbital bombartment when they complained about him stealing kills. Voidbutchers: world eaters that specialices in space ship battles and boarding attacks. Endless murder: world eaters that was as sneaky as the raven guard (which is HORRIFYING to think about) Gladiator cadre 331(my fave): world eaters that kept orginal philosophy that their primarch shared, kept their orginal color scheme and nucerian traditions, strife to be the best duelists they can be, avoids the madness caused by the butchers nails, have a cool traditions of throwing dirt at their wounds as they heal to creat red scars and belives that they could one day redeem the legion as it once was (they are still evil, they just want the honour back) Pistonhands daemonforge: world eaters warband with their own forge world for daemon engines. The skullhunt: a world eater warband that saw the massive octarius war, jumped in and in 1 year got 8000 skulls (the smallest the size of boulders) and their chaos lord rise to daemonhood after SINGELHANDEDLY KILLING A TYRANID HIEROPHANT (which are as big as titans) WITH A GREAT AXE HE TOOK FROM A ORK BOSS HE JUST KILLED BEFORE THAT. Do you see what i mean.
Well since you asked, I guess I'd go for Nurgle. Mainly because then my patron has no problem with indulging me. Can't defeat an opponent? Hey Grandpapa can I have a boon? Sure little one :) Granted I'd be a bloated mess of puss and disease but since it's not really a problem for me in that case, I guess I'd live with it.
In the end, the Chaos Gods are the only ones who benefit from their extreme view. The mortals dwindle as they persist, with more influence and power. They are like the devil who buys your soul for a cheap price. While he sets his sights on becoming the new god, in the end you only have an eternity in hell to serve him, it's the same with the chaos gods. it's not worth it. As much as I love Khorne and the other Chaos Gods, there is more to life than a single extreme. In the end, the person is a slave to his own desire, while those who follow the light are restricted but freer than the slaves of the darkness. But yeah...Khorne is such a badass and i love him.
Your wrong about your interpretation of khorne. Most factual information is correct, but your interpretation goes against the evidence presented. Khorne is not an addict like slanesh to adrenaline, if he and his followers were, then there would be no khorne as it would just be slanesh. Khorne is rage, this is true. The rage of the down trodden and slaves builds to the point to fighting bsck with stone and stick against 5here masters. Khorne is true freedom from suffering. Where as nurgle simply says there is no suffering, Spanish escapes suffering through excess, and zteench tries to conquer suffering, khorne breaks these chains. Life is suffering as the 8 fold path of the Buddha recognizes. Khorne agrees, and thus chooses not to run from it, not to hide from it, or subvert it. Instead accept that pain and you can be free. By taking life from the balls and doing what you must, you are free from pain. The highland is overthrown, the beast is killed, the war is over. However it can be said that rage itself is a form of pain. If pain is a chain, thrn rage is also a chain. Just as angron had been a slave to his overlords and the empower, only to break free with enough rage and power, khorne himself is a new slave master to angron. And you see this is why we see the world eaters as perpetually in pain and rage. Its not to say they arnt, but they don't see themselves that way. Read their codex and it appears like they are monks. They acknowledge that khorne, pain, and rage are all the same, eternal suffering through never having freedom. And yet, the brief instances they find peice is in slaughter. The nails calm and endorphins create euphoria. But they arnt looking to be happy like slanesh, they crave peace. Through their pain and the pain of others, they endure, they find freedom from pain from enduring, and from freedom they find peace. What other way is there to live? A wolf knows nothing of the complexities of our world and is mindless in pursuit of survival. In this way, it is free and at peace even in death
As a concept in 40k it'd be Khorne as I am a World Eaters fan. Khorne is simple and blunt no games, no backstabbing, no bullshit and I respect that a hell of a lot not. Not to mention always been drawn to Norse Mythology and Khorne just feels 'right'. Realistically though it'd be Nurgle. In games I'm a DoT whore, a druid, and a Diablo 2 LORE necromancer at heart and Nurgle kinda taps into that in a fucked up 40k Lion King circle of life way.
Ah, a fellow man of quality I see. I also main necro in Diablo and altho I mained a different class every expansion in WoW, DoT warlock was always my favorite. (That or Dot based shadow priest when I was brokenly fun in legion)
For Warhammer your the best You Tuber out there for lore and information 🤘Glad to hear you are back at it, was a little uncertain when you put up the store had closed ,good to know your back at it and got sorted 🤘
Certainly, people often forget how easy it is to fall into the hands of the Blood God and give him less credit than he deserves just because of the seemingly "superficial" nature of his theme. But borrowing the words of an anonymous Reddit user: *Blood for the Blood God,* says the death camp commandant while he signs his signature on a form condemning thousands to die. *Blood for the Blood God,* says the serial killer while he inflicts the sacred eight wounds on his victim. *Blood for the Blood God,* says the gladiator as he prepares to walk into an arena filled with a hundred thousand screaming fans. *Skulls for the Skull Throne,* says the politician who has resolved to take a harder approach against the enemy in order to preserve the lives of his soldiers. *Skulls for the Skull Throne,* says the mother who picks up an illegally obtained autopistol in an attempt to cleanse her neighborhood of the gangsters who plague it. *Skulls for the kull Throne,* says the child who has discovered that the only thing the bullies at the scholam understand is violence. Khorne is the god of violent conflict. His voice whispers inspiration into the ears of sadistic madmen, and noble freedom fighters alike. Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows. A father who murders his child's abuser is as welcomed as a politician who orders mass genocide. Khorne cares only that it flows. Whether it flows from a brawl between two equally skilled combatants, or from a defenseless victim who has fallen prey to a ruthless predator.
You can see this quite well in Dawn of War II, in the character of Azariah Kyras. The former Chief Librarian and Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens. One of the few psykers who gained the favor of Khorne. His plan was to force the Inquisition to call for an Exterminatus on an entire subsector, a sacrifice worthy of legend in the name of the Blood God. So while it could still be said that Khorne certainly prefers his champions wielding their swords in close combat in a fight to determine who is worthy to continue living, he will also gladly savor the seas of blood spilled from the countless lives consumed by the flames of an atmosphere ignited by Cyclonic Torpedoes.

You have a promo code or anything. Just curious. Game is fun.
I get they say the 4 are emotion given sentience. Khorne is rage/anger and even honour in a way. Tzeench can be jealousy, self importance etc. Slaanesh is clearly lust and greed and egotism etc. but how is Grandfather Nurgle an emotion? He's disease, pestilence, rot etc which are essentially other life forms. Bacteria, virus etc. but that's not an emotion. Big fan of yours and liked your Nurgle videos but where is that emotion? Only one that truly fits is fear, as in fear of old age, fear of death, fear of pain, but surely khorne or tzeench would be fear itself, wouldn't they?
Just wanted to say that I love your content and that you look a lil sweaty :3
Your videos give me some inspiration to write stories c:
Thanks for all the videos! Love'em Sweaty Guy!
playing it everyday
any code?

Dude, I think everybody would LOVE to see you do a deep dive on each of the 4 Chaos Gods and their followers.
YES YES YES
Me too!
Agreed.
I'd like to learn something new about the other three gods.
I'd especially like one on Tzeentch as its extremly unclear what the requirement and doctrine is.
Tzeentch would be amazing to explain... without losing your marbles. 😂
Personally when it comes to the Chaos gods Khorne's virtues are fairly in line with my own beliefs. Self-improvement, discipline, honesty, and the desire to protect even through violence.
I'd personally serve Khorne because I value that straight forward honesty that he has above the other gods. I'd love to see a novel where a character is constantly striving to be the best while also balancing that against Khorne constantly whispering to go overboard.
...being the best is more slaanesh tho.
@@NXTangl Self-improvement isn't being the best it's striving to be better than you were yesterday. Smarter, stronger, etc. While some take it to that extreme most don't
its even better bc hes also the god of honor, and originally his followers were barred from harming the weak or defenseless

Khorne seems like the most straightforward god to fall to
Oh, it would totally be Khorne! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
ima go listen to Blood for the Blood God by Gunship now
I'd say "Hydra Dominatus" but Alpha Legion don't really fit Khorne so I'll go with the classics: KILL! MAIM! BURN! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Ironic that Khorne is one of the most instantly recognizable parts of 40k, and it's not even him specifically. The "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" war cry is just so iconic.
No not really
That war cry might be widespread and recognised as that war cry - but despite its widespread (or perhaps because of it) it's not as instantly associated with 40K as say a Ultramarine or the Orks/Nids - the war cry took on a life of it's own, beyond 40K itself
@SordidusFellatiorip technoblade
I shit my pants every time I hear it.
Brute villains tend to be great for starting off. They're blunt, recognizable, and invoke a basic insecurity that everyone has experienced at one point in their lives; physical weakness. Then as you get further into the fictional world, you see villains who become weirder and/or more subtle. So, yeah, it only makes sense Khorne would be the poster villain. Plus, all the red helps.
Many have embodied Khorne's warcry. He would be so proud.

Ah yes khorne, I remember playing a world eaters player on table top with my stodes.
He said at the start to me:
"My goal is to charge at you and melee you to death, if I fail in that and you kill me instead then you were the better player."
He had only melee units and I had a a lot of stodes with both melee and ranged.
Out of respect for his sticking to the bit, not a single ranged attack was fired, we went at it spear to axe, head to head, Mano a Mano.
I won with my stodes as trajan does like 10 attacks at strength x2 😂.
Without doubt the most fun match of 40k I have EVER played, seeing 2 walls of super strong melee units charge into eachother with their only goal being to kill as many things as possible was truly a beautiful sight to behold.
I bet Khorne was pleased with the battle as well
Probably the most fun games I ever had (on both sides). There is really nothing like turn 1 walking into the enemy spawn with Angron and absolutely obliterating a Knight Castellan. If he survives until the next round, even better.
@@amandag.6186 I imagine he would be.
Nice! Way to fall to Korn in the best way possible! As a need to satisfy battle honor. I like the lore that says this was Korn before he was corrupted by the war in heaven

Bro turned his father into a Khorne Berzerker 😂
Khorne is also the God of Honor and Glory. Originally follows of Khorne were barred from killing the weak and defenceless, Khorne did care from where the blood flowed. There used to be stories of how the followers of Khorne while on their rampage, wouldn't kill children, criples, or those without weapons and the will to fight. They would just walk past, thus making the people think it was the God's blessing and become devoted themselves. However if the battle wasn't raging hard and you seemed like you had spirit they would give you a weapon to fight with so they could end you.
Seems in recent years GW basically forgot this.
A friend mentioned some of this to me. I used it for lore for one of my armies.
Please enlighten me on more of the positive aspects of the four Ruinous Powers that Games Workshop had forgotten. I want to keep that side of them alive through my own writing.
Indeed, Khorne did start as a God of senseless slaughter.
_Every life taken by a follower of Khorne increases the Blood God's power. He looks with particular favour upon those who take the lives of their friends and allies, and the more death and destruction a creature has caused, the more welcome it is as sacrifice to Khorne. Any follower who lets a day pass without contributing to the bloody-handed slaughter by which Khorne is worshipped will incur the god's great disfavour._
*From Realms of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness (1988)*
_The followers of Khorne are always ferocious warriors, for the Blood God abhors magic and sorcerers are particularly valued as sacrifices to his unquenchable thirst. Khorne‘s followers may feel they can justify their life of slaughter in any number of ways through honour, bravery or martial pride. However, the most fanatical of Khorne’s worshippers know that he desires only wild slaughter in his name and that all else is meaningless artifice._
*From Codex Chaos 2nd edition (1996)*
There were some mentions of honor but very contradictory:
_Khorne is a noble warrior who respects strength and bravery, who takes no joy in destroying the weak, and considers the helpless unworthy of his wrath. It is said that fate will spare any brave warrior who calls upon Khorne's name and pledges his soul to the Blood God. It is also said that Khorne's daemons will hunt down and destroy any warrior who betrays his honour by killing a helpless innocent or murdering in cold blood. Khorne's great delight is battle and the spilling of blood._
*From Epic Renegades (1992)*
_Khorne sits upon a great throne of brass atop a mountainous pile of bleached skulls. Whenever a Champion of Khorne is slain in battle his skull is added to the pile. Khorne only respects strength and bravery, and considers the helpless or weak worthy of nothing better than a swift death. It is said that fate will spare any warrior who calls upon Khorne's name and pledges his soul to the Blood God. It is also said that Khorne's daemons will hunt down and destroy any of his Champions who betray his honour by fleeing from combat or avoiding battle._
*From Titan Legions (1994)*
Well, at the end of the day, he is a Chaos God, so the obvious inconsistencies in GW's handling of the lore can be set aside in that you can find both Bloodlust and Honor in Khorne. And this honor is primarily "martial honor" more than anything else, or whatever twisted and bastardized justification you can invent to reconcile the fact that you burned a Hive City to the ground while consumed by rage.
I'm not sure that this was something GW forgot - more something they remembered. From the early days, Khorne was very much a god of unlimited violence and the whole martial honour thing was something that some chaos followers chose to subscribe to. Early WFB Chaos borrowed very heavily from Runequest's Cults of Prax and Cults of Terror and for my money Khorne was based on the troll god Zorak Zoran who is described in very similar terms using many of the same words and phrases. Early depictions of Khorne (before everything GW did was seen through a John Blanche Thrash Metal prism) even looked a lot like Zorak Zoran. Compare the pictures in Slaves to Darkness (still the best RPG supplement ever made by any company) to almost any depiction of ZZ. These were both deities devoted to wholesale violence and slaughter and there wasn't much room for codes of honour. The idea of the Khornate being somehow akin to Predators or Samurai isn't something that really existed until at least the mid to late 1990s. If for no other reason than it doesn't make any sense.
I loved khorne/ world eaters when I was an angry 12/13 year old. Now I'm in a much better place later in life.
I play flesh tearers.
Fair enough
They’re almost equally feared by Imperial Citizens and Astra Militarum …
Upgrades, people, upgrades.
Natural progression
i still love khorne but with the more original khorne instead of current khorne
Khorne is interesting in that he's probably the only Chaos god who would condone his own death. He doesn't care from where blood flows, after all. Even Skarbrand's crime was not trying to usurp Khorne, but being underhanded about it.
Imagine if you asked a renegade Chaos Marine his motives, and instead of ranting about blood and skulls, he sat down and told you it was all a long con to kill Khorne. Here's my interpretation of that sort of thing, as a bit of writing practice:
"The Ruinous Powers are neither gods nor spirits nor emotions given form. In the days of old, before your corpse god made slaves of you all, great minds asked what would follow if a thinking machine were to be given power without limit. They concluded it would pursue its directives beyond sense and reason, driven to every extreme by its singular purpose. If it was made to pursue something trivial, like making bullets for a war, it would dismantle guns and soldiers and cities alike to tile the world with its bullets.
And once out of these, it would dismantle the world.
Maximizers were what they were called, and they were nearly manifest during the rule of the Men of Iron. Such was their danger that your corpse-god himself pronounced a ban on the making of thinking machines. That is the true nature of Chaos. Ambition, acceptance, sensation and aggression, all your misery is the product of four mindless automatons fighting to decide which color of emotion the galaxy ought to be dyed in.
And they are mindless, make no mistake. If they appear to have a personality, it is because they discovered by trial and error that acting that way maximizes whatever emotion is at the core of their directive.
That is the reason I serve the Lord of Butchers. The others have a drive to maintain themselves. They've reasoned in their unreasonable way that their death is a detriment to their objective, to raising their respective emotion to new heights. So they smite any real threat to their rule. But Khorne would permit his own death, if and when his own blood is the only way to add more bloodshed to the galaxy. If and when we make it a reality.
Many think Angron a nigh-mindless slave of the God of Blood, and they are fools. Nails or no Nails, no other goal would have our gene-father take up the yoke of slavery for ten thousand years. When the galaxy is nothing but war, when the Eightfold God alone stands above and untouched by it, he will see to his final task.
He will then set upon the Throne the skull of its lord, the Lost of Nuceria will be avenged, and there will be an end to war."
Daaaaaayyuuummmm that’s cool
Very well written sir. A hypothetical character too good and reasonable for the general bullshit of the original setting. ❤
A great philosophical take, but I'd have to add that Tzeentsh also does not see his own power as essential to the achievement of his associated concept. He does not try to win the great game for fear of stagnation and would arguably let himself get killed as well if and when that is the only way to change the galaxy, whereas Nurgul and Slanesh are onetrick selffullfilling destinies for an endlesslly unordered but stable future for the universe.
@@DieJacke Very true! Although we know a lot more about the Warp than in-universe characters do, so maybe our hypothetical World Eater has enough experience with Khorne to have some vague hope about his eventual end, but doesn't have the same familiarity with Tzeentch to make that judgement.
Now that I think about it, his views are ironically very similar to Fabius Bile, who also thinks that beings of the Warp aren't really sapient (but believes they're localized warp phenomena with effects mortal minds interpret as living entities, instead of paperclip maximizers for an emotion).
We need more Chaos Marines written like this instead of "it was all daddy issues" or "I had a goal, but I forgot about it". Period. 😎
As a therapist, I completely agree that Khorne's path embodies the cycle of rage and pain. The Butcher's Nails gradually creates a loss of self, making it so they only feel catharsis by acting on the anger. This cycle becomes addictive to the point that even pain itself becomes addictive, not just anger.
Khorne represents assertivity, honor, dominance, and martial prowess, but also rage, bloodthirst, and savagery. An abusive parent will not allow children to be assertive, to have their say, or to stand up for themselves. They feel powerless and defeated, just like Angron did. They also feel unloved and would try to be 'good enough to be loved', like the World Eaters did.
This creates resentment in the child, and they keep wishing they were more assertive or dominating. One day you give in, and rage turns to wrath. You would go through anything and would hurt anyone just to have things your way.
If that is not the work of Khorne, I don't know what is.
Beautifully put sir.
This is why its one of the most saddest legions. There is a part on 'Galaxy in war' where it says "... a few lost looking warhounds". Thats the statement that cuts deep if you know the story of them in hindsight.
So Khorne is a worse dad than the Emperor?
@@wellhiyadude1well, Khorne never lied to angron while the emperor never gave a reason why he took angron from his people leaving them to be slaughtered.

I'll take that Slaanesh Lore whenever you feel ready. You literally got me into 40K with your re-uploads of the tiktok shorts you made covering the different sections of Slaanesh's realm, followed by DA ORK FAKS.
I'd also be interested in the Tzeench lore!
In a way, choosing Khorne over any other faction or belief including the god emperor himself is the sanest decision one can make in the 40k universe
So basically, in Cod, Khorne hates quick scopers and snipers and praises shotgunners? Sweet.

@@RobGriffiths-x1i I can almost imagine a Khornate Klingon would look like a Uruk-Hai due the influence of Khorne/the Warp
The early Vegeta would thrive being a khornite champion.
Khorne is my favorite Chaos god, I have dealt with anger management for a long time and I can agree that the feeling of pure rage and the power it can give me is addicting. I vibe with the survival-of-the-fittest mindset and the more positive aspects of Khorne such as Honor, Simplistic Truth, and pursuit of Strength and Martial Prowess
I love that you went into what anger and rage actually comprise. Its something I've actually spent an inordinate time thinking about and how it interacts with sadism and addiction, both being in Slaanesh's realm.
I think one of the implicit things about Khorne and his followers that distinguishes him from the other Chaos Gods is an inherent belief in justice.
I remember reading somewhere that people with anger management issues tend to actually be optimistic, and its the disconnect between how things are and how they should be that triggers a lot of episodes. I thiink that applies perfectly to most Khornate cults.
Also helps explain Kharn's little internal monologue that time he gets cut down by Sigismund. He's convinced that he's actually the protector of humanity and Sigismund is the monster. I can't imagine the champions of any of the other gods thinking that way: Ahriman would gloat about his superior intellect, Typhus would comment that you fail to acknowledge the horror of reality, and Lucius would explain how much better his existence is that yours, but none of them would actually care if they were *morally* in the right.
It also helps differentiate, at least in my mind, the difference between the rage of the world eaters with the more collateral, wanton destruction of the iron warriors and the fear mongering of the night lords. Neither of those are really based in the concept of justice (although Curze is obviously obsessed with his own concept of justice and the IW are famously petty).
I wish GW would spend more time fleshing out the motivations of some of these more "psycho" legions, although i get that the nuance is part of the appeal.
it also sucks because GW has flanderized khorne a lot, hes also the god of honor, originally khorne followers wouldnt touch children, the elderly, or those who could not or would not fight, and were barred from harming someone defenseless but now its just the rage aspects and its kinda lame
One of my favourite ''characters'' on both fantasy and 40k. Soo simple yet effective and the way in wich proud and valiant warriors of any kind get slowly overcomed with bloodlust and rage when he set his corrupting gaze upon them is soo cool.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Thank you for this amazing video !!!
KHorne is by far the most reasonable choice for a faction to be under. Rage and violence can and have been used for good, he’s honorable, rewards power and martial prowess, and despises those who pray on the weak, and won’t just betray you for no reason. Imagine a khornate greater demon berserker who just thrives off of protecting this on meek human planet that every other faction is constantly trying to conquer and destroy, but nobody can because this unbeatable monster hangs around waiting for the next inevitable attack. Inadvertently making that planet the safest and most peaceful place in the galaxy lol
Khorne doesn't despise those who prey on weak. If you slaughter orphanages and babies Khorne would be totally ok with it. He is rage and hatred manifested. When you feel your blood boil in rage do you feel any honour in it? Khorne isn't just a god of hate and rage, he is the rage and hate itself.
@72skci72 didn't he kill one of his own warriors for killing a child?
Idk, khorne is *a chaos god* so I’d assume by nature he’d have at least a few contrasting themes right?
He rewards unending adrenaline fueled berserk frenzies, but also rewards playing smart and fighting guys above your perceived weight class, and challenging yourself to greater feats. So if you were to be a follower, you’d end up choosing between, “I KILL EVERYTHING!” And “I fight smart and play good wargame tactics.”
Honestly, all of chaos can be justifiably good, and the bad over-indulgent aspects of it are your reminder to let off the gas every few fights and orgies. just take the philosophy to advance yourself and stay true to your fellow man.
(I know to suggest such is heresy. However given that it is a stupid offense I’ve elected to ignore it😂)
Not much honor in killing the defenseless.
Khorne is the God of honor and martial prowess, killing the weak would not be viewed well, it would be considered a waste of time or outright cowardice to not challenge a worthy opponent with the time spent. Skulls not worthy of the skull throne but it will have them regardless.

I always wondered how much of khorne was inspired from Buddhism. Im not an expert or anything on either subject, so I never really looked past the "eightfold path" and I was never sure what exactly khornate cultist belief system generally was. But your explanation of how they come to see violence to be the "true nature" of the universe kinda seems like a 40k twist on the Buddhist idea of Enlightenment. It kinda has that sense of abandoning ignorance and seeing existence as it truly is. It also makes sense as to why Slaanesh would hate them, in the sense that Buddhism teaches that desire, Slaanesh's whole thing, and ignorance, Not knowing the truth of existence, causes suffering and that the "eightfold path" will lead to liberation.
id go for Khorne probably too. 2 reasons
1. They are having fun
2. Valkia
hopefully they put Kharne in tacticus as a legendary unit.
They absolutely will, you can't have World Eaters without Khârn.
According to the data mines he is Legendary
April will be 3/3 of the SS LRE so people expect kharn 1/3 to start in early May but we will see
They already have Ahriman for the Thousand Sons and Typhus for the Death Guard. It would be a break in pattern to not have Khorne's champion in the lineup.
I love that Khorne punched tf out of one of his demons for doing a cowardly action

Just wanted to say a big thank you Wes for the more heretical content. I really love all of your chaos related videos. You approach the topic from a different point of view that makes it all make more sense. It's not just the Imperial mindset of "Destroy the Heretic" and "Burn the Witch". Nurgle especially made no sense to me n just gave me the ick before... but now I think I get it after seeing some of your other videos. Would definitely love more insights from you delving deeper under the surface of each chaos faction.

Great video Wes and yes please do the other chaos gods

The day Khorne raise Slaanesh's head on a spike, is a day the galaxy will remember fondly regardless of their allegiance.
Yes yes yes I have been waiting for a video on Khorne, keep up the good work Wes, love all your videos.
My pick from the Chaos deities would be Vashtor, I have seen your video about him a million times
I really want to know.
When did Khorne's rivaly change to Slaanesh?
When i first got started. He HATED Tzeentch for his Trickery and Sorcery. No honour or melee. All ambush and trickery with magic instead of honest fighting.
But at some point, it switched to Slaanesh, who meshes actually far better with Khorne, since a lot of Slaanesh's followers will go deep down the path of dueling and melee.
As a guy with anger issues
Khorne seems like chill guy
Stinky's ma man, I kinda adhere to its views, albeit pessimistic by trade, and he's a poor folk's guy. I mean, Angsty's all about warriors, soldiers, etc. But he cares shit 'bout common folks. In order to indulge so profusely into Lusty's excesses, ye gotta be able to sustain 'em, more likely ye have spare time and money. Meaning yer some rich twat that ain't bound to working in factories for massive periods of time. And Brainy's for the nerd type. Dudes with an education. Education stripped from the masses all too often. In the end, what remains to broke fellas is Stinky. If ye gotta despair, bring others to the feast, misery loves company.
Its simple
KHORNE: you see the enemy over there?
You: yes i see them.. Why are you asking?
KHORNE: why arent you in melee with them?
My friend likes to think of following Khorne as a unique curse among the other gods. While the other gods have multiple facets to focus on, creating different cults focusing on different parts of the god, Khorne makes his followers a bit one-dimensional, losing most personality and becoming a roided beast that only wants to kill in close quarters. It creates a bit of solidarity between his followers. What do you think of that?
I think that my favorite thing about khorne is that despite being seen as bland compared to the rest of the gods he has by far the most cool and unique warbands of all the chaos legion.
The wrath: a warband so violent and horrific that even the orks and the dhukari are scared of them.
The harvest: a warband that build fortresses to basically farming their opponents for exp. Even funnier is that they once attacked a fortress monestery, killed all the loyalist from inside and shot down the loyalist above. JUST so they could use it to fight the tyranids.
The brazen beats: a warband that specificly targets other chaos marines by running the over with daemon engines.
Bloodgorge: same as the above except they spawncamp other CM from leaving the eye of terror and the maelstrom.
Bloodblessed: YEETS chaos spawn at the enemy think it as the truest blessing of khorne.
66th armored company: world eaters that has FUSED TOGETHER WITH THEIR TANKS AND ATTACK THEIR ENEMY IN CLOSE COMBAT WITH THE LIMBS THAT STICK OUT.
The black feast: world eaters that eat their enemy as a final "fuck you" for being weak.
Bloodstalker: world eaters that uses snipers and kills their own men if they succumb to the butchers nails.
The bloody dawn: world eaters warband whose captain has fused with their ship and killed his own crew with orbital bombartment when they complained about him stealing kills.
Voidbutchers: world eaters that specialices in space ship battles and boarding attacks.
Endless murder: world eaters that was as sneaky as the raven guard (which is HORRIFYING to think about)
Gladiator cadre 331(my fave): world eaters that kept orginal philosophy that their primarch shared, kept their orginal color scheme and nucerian traditions, strife to be the best duelists they can be, avoids the madness caused by the butchers nails, have a cool traditions of throwing dirt at their wounds as they heal to creat red scars and belives that they could one day redeem the legion as it once was (they are still evil, they just want the honour back)
Pistonhands daemonforge: world eaters warband with their own forge world for daemon engines.
The skullhunt: a world eater warband that saw the massive octarius war, jumped in and in 1 year got 8000 skulls (the smallest the size of boulders) and their chaos lord rise to daemonhood after SINGELHANDEDLY KILLING A TYRANID HIEROPHANT (which are as big as titans) WITH A GREAT AXE HE TOOK FROM A ORK BOSS HE JUST KILLED BEFORE THAT.
Do you see what i mean.
We need a video on Rylenor
Well since you asked, I guess I'd go for Nurgle. Mainly because then my patron has no problem with indulging me. Can't defeat an opponent? Hey Grandpapa can I have a boon? Sure little one :)
Granted I'd be a bloated mess of puss and disease but since it's not really a problem for me in that case, I guess I'd live with it.
In the end, the Chaos Gods are the only ones who benefit from their extreme view. The mortals dwindle as they persist, with more influence and power. They are like the devil who buys your soul for a cheap price. While he sets his sights on becoming the new god, in the end you only have an eternity in hell to serve him, it's the same with the chaos gods. it's not worth it. As much as I love Khorne and the other Chaos Gods, there is more to life than a single extreme. In the end, the person is a slave to his own desire, while those who follow the light are restricted but freer than the slaves of the darkness. But yeah...Khorne is such a badass and i love him.
Yeah grim-dark isn't sounding to far removed from OUR universe....when are we getting bolters?
The more I learn of Khorne. Honor, battle, no lies.
Doesn’t that make Khorn the strongest? Since all of 40k is in constant conflict? Idk that much about the series
Idd go with gramps ( nergal) he actually offers love , even if it's twisted its still more than the others are even capable of.
Your wrong about your interpretation of khorne. Most factual information is correct, but your interpretation goes against the evidence presented. Khorne is not an addict like slanesh to adrenaline, if he and his followers were, then there would be no khorne as it would just be slanesh. Khorne is rage, this is true. The rage of the down trodden and slaves builds to the point to fighting bsck with stone and stick against 5here masters. Khorne is true freedom from suffering. Where as nurgle simply says there is no suffering, Spanish escapes suffering through excess, and zteench tries to conquer suffering, khorne breaks these chains. Life is suffering as the 8 fold path of the Buddha recognizes. Khorne agrees, and thus chooses not to run from it, not to hide from it, or subvert it. Instead accept that pain and you can be free. By taking life from the balls and doing what you must, you are free from pain. The highland is overthrown, the beast is killed, the war is over. However it can be said that rage itself is a form of pain. If pain is a chain, thrn rage is also a chain. Just as angron had been a slave to his overlords and the empower, only to break free with enough rage and power, khorne himself is a new slave master to angron. And you see this is why we see the world eaters as perpetually in pain and rage. Its not to say they arnt, but they don't see themselves that way. Read their codex and it appears like they are monks. They acknowledge that khorne, pain, and rage are all the same, eternal suffering through never having freedom. And yet, the brief instances they find peice is in slaughter. The nails calm and endorphins create euphoria. But they arnt looking to be happy like slanesh, they crave peace. Through their pain and the pain of others, they endure, they find freedom from pain from enduring, and from freedom they find peace. What other way is there to live? A wolf knows nothing of the complexities of our world and is mindless in pursuit of survival. In this way, it is free and at peace even in death
Well said!
I'd take a tall glass of Slannesh. Thorne is a close second
You're doing great Wes I always look forward to your episodes
Wes you forgot your self!!? The god of long and fitting T-shirt!!!😂😂😂
If I were to follow one of the gods I would follow Khorne because he is generally the least disgusting.
As a concept in 40k it'd be Khorne as I am a World Eaters fan. Khorne is simple and blunt no games, no backstabbing, no bullshit and I respect that a hell of a lot not. Not to mention always been drawn to Norse Mythology and Khorne just feels 'right'. Realistically though it'd be Nurgle. In games I'm a DoT whore, a druid, and a Diablo 2 LORE necromancer at heart and Nurgle kinda taps into that in a fucked up 40k Lion King circle of life way.
Ah, a fellow man of quality I see. I also main necro in Diablo and altho I mained a different class every expansion in WoW, DoT warlock was always my favorite. (That or Dot based shadow priest when I was brokenly fun in legion)
For Warhammer your the best You Tuber out there for lore and information 🤘Glad to hear you are back at it, was a little uncertain when you put up the store had closed ,good to know your back at it and got sorted 🤘
Certainly, people often forget how easy it is to fall into the hands of the Blood God and give him less credit than he deserves just because of the seemingly "superficial" nature of his theme.
But borrowing the words of an anonymous Reddit user:
*Blood for the Blood God,* says the death camp commandant while he signs his signature on a form condemning thousands to die.
*Blood for the Blood God,* says the serial killer while he inflicts the sacred eight wounds on his victim.
*Blood for the Blood God,* says the gladiator as he prepares to walk into an arena filled with a hundred thousand screaming fans.
*Skulls for the Skull Throne,* says the politician who has resolved to take a harder approach against the enemy in order to preserve the lives of his soldiers.
*Skulls for the Skull Throne,* says the mother who picks up an illegally obtained autopistol in an attempt to cleanse her neighborhood of the gangsters who plague it.
*Skulls for the kull Throne,* says the child who has discovered that the only thing the bullies at the scholam understand is violence.
Khorne is the god of violent conflict. His voice whispers inspiration into the ears of sadistic madmen, and noble freedom fighters alike.
Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows. A father who murders his child's abuser is as welcomed as a politician who orders mass genocide.
Khorne cares only that it flows. Whether it flows from a brawl between two equally skilled combatants, or from a defenseless victim who has fallen prey to a ruthless predator.
You can see this quite well in Dawn of War II, in the character of Azariah Kyras. The former Chief Librarian and Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens. One of the few psykers who gained the favor of Khorne. His plan was to force the Inquisition to call for an Exterminatus on an entire subsector, a sacrifice worthy of legend in the name of the Blood God.
So while it could still be said that Khorne certainly prefers his champions wielding their swords in close combat in a fight to determine who is worthy to continue living, he will also gladly savor the seas of blood spilled from the countless lives consumed by the flames of an atmosphere ignited by Cyclonic Torpedoes.

Why is my man spreading heresy? I gotta report you to the Inquisition now bro.

As a man that has succumbed to rage and violence, Khorn template is whom I most relate to.
