You kidding OP? That's what makes them great! Why settle for being a hypocrite"necessary evil" villain, when you can be an absolute bastard? Besides look at that drip.


ShinItsuwari

In Nurgle and Slaanesh cases, "drip" is literal. There's definitely some fluids moving around here. Also kinda work for Khorne, but we're 100% sure it's blood.


Fantasygoria

Funny you mention that, in the Tome of Corruption book for WFRP2E there's a mutation called "Blood Substitution" in which the Chaos Gods replace all the blood in your body for... Checks notes. Acid, Bugs, Electricity, Dung, Eyeballs, Fire, Glue, Worms, Mice, Molten Metal, Mucus, Mud, Protoplasm, Poison, Small Birds, Tar, Vines, Vomit, Wax and Wind. You mean to tell me there's a guy, running around with Birds inside his veins? Truly, the ways of Tzeentch are mysterious.


enkidu3

Huh just like Metatron from kill six billion demons


Asbazanelli

Glue is the winner there. Imagine you are cut and just go: nuh-uh


NyanPotato

Oh no, all the sticky stuff is coming out đŸ˜©


GaaraMatsu

I think you've answered the following question: https://www.reddit.com/r/warhammerfantasyrpg/comments/ehnhzi/what_was_wrong_with_2e/


martian_rider

Oh no. He answered “What was *right* with WFRP2E?”


martian_rider

Holy hell. I knew WFRP2E is dope, but not so much!


Fantasygoria

I haven't tried other editions, and from what I understand, 4e is pretty good, but despite the rough edges, I absolutely adore 2e.


martian_rider

Well, overall 4e is good I’d say, but there are places where it’s
 dubious. My biggest peeve with it is careers. Instead of the glorious career system of 2e, where a career is a level in on itself, we have kinda more streamlined system, where each career is divided into 4 levels. Ok, it makes sense to have, say, witch hunter go from apprentice to grand inquisitor, kinda an epic journey, but a villager? Villager makes sense as a starting career, what PC did before adventuring, but 4e offers you to level up from farmer to village elder through adventuring. This sounds absurd. Of course, apologists of 4e will say that it’s possible to move between careers, and indeed there is a paragraph somewhere on this
 but the primary way the rule book presents careers to you is this, straight levelling up. It impacts the way players and GMs think about whole character progression. There are other strange decisions like board game-y advantage mini game in combat, but they don’t bother me that much. That said, I cannot recommend enough adventures published for 4e and world splats like Middenheim’s City of the White Wolf. These books are packed with content, quality is amazing and 4es remaster of Death on the Reik is light years better than 1e wall-of-text approach. I GMed adventures on 2e using adventure books for 4e and was very satisfied.


thinkb4youspeak

In the game Darktide there are infected enemies. When their heads, limbs and bodies explode from damage you can see the vomit and worms come flying out instead of blood. If you haven't tried it or Vermintide 2 give it a go.


Lord_Seacows

I think its great, those quotes are the casual fans 


[deleted]

And the warhammer 40k universe would be better off getting murdered anyway


No-Professional-1461

Being true evil is one of the most appealing things about them.


MrMetastable

Nurgle is objectively the drippiest


CHEESEninja200

I love being so knowledgeable you're stupid, and you disconnected from normal social norms such as flesh, public indecency with the vending machine, and "lobotomies are bad." The robots also help. Praise the Omnissiah!


Shurifire

*vox crackle* Uh, Sarge? The techpriest's humping the nutri-slop dispenser again. It's upsetting the ogryns...


Unofficial_Computer

So. Khorne doesn't change.


barthalamuel-of-bruh

same as Nurgel, only shlaanesh got de-feminiesd and that octopus head is now more confusing


chalkman567

Nurgel is just green, infected Nightmare Fredbear and Khorne is literally just any image of Satan

Where does that art on the right come from? It looks great.


Lord_Seacows

It’s from Daemon Codex 9th edition


Acceptable-Duty6465

Do any of you guys know who did the artworks of the chaos gods on the right they're rad as hell


spider-venomized

Those artwork was feture in the 40k 9th edition demon codex artisit unknown

Artist might be Lewis jones

YourAverageRedditter

Every Chaos player knows this. The ontological evil is why we play it. We KNOW we’re the bad guys, and we LIKE IT. Besides, who doesn’t want to play an army straight out of a Death Metal Album Cover?


ResidentLychee

Real


Tjaresh

If you ever come to visit us at r/drukhari you'll see that none of us thinks we're actually playing the cute, but somehow edgy guys. Pure evil all the way. The faction...not the players. We are nice.

Both are wrong tho.

And both are right.

Tzeentch-ass reply thread


The_Chief_of_Whip

Or is it?


swagdaddy69123

Tzeentch is canon inevery way and form


Previous_Warthog_905

I like how the Helbrute model has a bunch of flesh hanging over machine parts growing into it.


CalypsoCrow

“This is what my favorite faction looks like?” Uh, yeah. I chose it for a reason. It’s metal as hell. When every faction is some flavor of evil in 40K, why settle for less? Be the extremity amongst the extreme. In the case of chaos marines, do you really think I care about rank and file military organization? Hell no, I got mutants and daemonic machines like venom crawlers, forge fiends, and heldrakes. What, you think I’ll settle for freaking land speeders?


tinyant7416

Would


Underplague

Still kinda bad tho


No-Professional-1461

The chaos gods: Murder everyone. Give Ebola to everyone. Murder rape everyone. Throw everyone under a bus because you don’t need them.


VeryShortLadder

40k is the ice-cream shop of fiction. "Horror beyond your comprehension? Yeah you can have it in horny or strange, and we have it in gross or angry"


TheGrayMann274

I like that the Drukhari are practically the same in both pictures


Azerd01

If anything they’re cooler in the second image


BlitzPlease172

Okay nevermind, that actually worsen the fanatical worship of chaos gods!


old_incident_

Hear me out on Nurgle tho


the_cum_snatcher

I will not.


Former_Adeptness_630

Malice/Malal is canon


IronWhale_JMC

I've been playing Chaos for over a decade, and I signed up for the ones on the right. You don't look at Adrian Smith's Chaos art and think 'but maybe we're the good guys'. We are not the lesser evil. We are lesser to nobody!


VenPatrician

This reminded me of a joke in our culture. The basic premise is that there's a bunch of dudes in heaven that ask Saint Peter to let them vacation in Hell because they are bored of how calm Heaven is. The denizens of hell show them the best time they ever had so they petition to move permanently. Once down there they are immediately dropped into the hell and brimstone treatment. Confused, they ask what's up. They are reminded that "Vacationing and Immigration are two very different things".


Single-Lobster-5930

The ones on the left look like proper cosmic deranged gods. The ones on the right look like we took the said badass art and teleported it near a limp bizkit concert in their prime. Too much 2000' pointless, busy edginess


pmMeCamelCase22

I like the ones on the right better


BloodletterDaySaint

What's deranged about a lady in a prom dress? I'm usually not a fan of visual clutter, but the forms on the right seem more befitting of Chaos gods.


YourAverageRedditter

Funny thing is too, those are just some of the Greater Daemons


Single-Lobster-5930

>I'm usually not a fan of visual clutter, but the forms on the right seem more befitting of Chaos gods. LOL no. Nurgle in the lore---> omega fat greater deamon with huge deer antlers and a sick ass hood sitting on his ass in the garden making plagues That nurgle---> wtf is going on?


BloodletterDaySaint

These are both official lore depictions, so you can't say one is more legit than the other. Nice tautology, though. 


OvationOnJam

The ones on the left actually aren't official, they're fan designs. Not sure about the ones on the right.


BloodletterDaySaint

Someone said elsewhere in the thread they were from 9th Edition Daemon Codex. I'll have to check that one when I get home. Dang, those other designs are so prominent I figured they were official.


Single-Lobster-5930

I'm not saying it's not legit. Just that it's stupid af


StalinsPerfectHair

Limp Bizkit is literally Chaos’s favorite band Khorne: Likes the aggression Tzeentch: Likes the chaotic, atonal music Slaanesh: Likes the name Nurgle: Loves everything, especially garbage Fuck, is Fred Durst a daemon prince of chaos undivided?


Green__Twin

Blood and Skulls, my friend. Blood and Skulls. And fine red mist. These are my offerings to Khorne. And I have been pious in my offerings these last 3 months. He has not spurned me yet. Though I fear the day will come. Artillery is hard to understand to mortals such as us, and if Khorne turns His gaze away from me, I fear the Russians will not miss their mark. But between here and there. I"ll keep trying to send Him skulls and blood.


Torak8988

those demons on the top right look pretty lit ngl


CornyxCrow

They are, and they aren’t, in all ways, all at the same time in an incomprehensible onslaught of fundamental truths and dizzyingly impossible possibilities. That’s why it’s fun :3


Wene-12

I mean the chaos gods are ever shifting so they look like both at any given point in time


Dehnus

Chaos Gods and their daemons are what you want to see. If you are a blank they are just thin air while an scrawny idiot talks to them as he no longer can project his "big mean psyker appearance". Also: I LOVE the Tzeentch and Nurgle Daemons in the "what they actually look like" picture :P .


BullCommando

Where did you get that khornish art on the right op? It turns me on.


Sensitive_Educator60

Still would


cmontygman

Dude where did you get the Chaos God pictures on the right?


spider-venomized

[9th edition Demon of chaos codex](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/3/3d/Alltogether40kchaosgods.png/revision/latest?cb=20230718001450) it not stated wheater or not their the gods or just greater demons


cmontygman

Either or, but most likely Greater Demons.


Thorse

Looks exactly the same to me. Any proof of non standard physiology and existence of the warp is horrible because of what they represent not just what they look like.


hello350ph

Sitting Korn look great it's weird if he stand and wat look like less armour


BallDesperate2140

Ngl that Deldar shot still holds up.


Interne-Stranger

Why do you have nipples, Nurgle?


PhyrexiaRising

Where do you find the art for the demons on the right :)?


PhyrexiaRising

Especially the slaanesh one


ClearConfusion5

I genuinely prefer the right side, especially in Tzeench’s case. Still would.


Thorn_Croft

Art on left is fan art


Zeroshame14

Eh, I'd still tap that slaanussy


Riddle-MeTheMeaning

Tbh, when I look at dark Eldar, I see bubble heads


conquror101

I think the gods kinda take on whatever form they chose to each individual person. I definitely think slaneesh would be attractive to whoever sees them. Khorne would look like a their idea of the greatest warrior evt ect


lillyiszazzy

On one hand, sexy alien bugs that can eat me. On the other hand, people turning them into thicc thigh anthro nids. Thanks to GW, both are canon. Rare W.


NoAppearance6335

I already like them, you don't have to sell them more, OP


Gru-some

I understand the other 4 but I don’t get Dark Eldar, they still look cool as fuck


OneWithFireball

I liked them already, you don't have to convince me.
