Good Shit though we may disagree on what god is the best, you did explain your points well. A few tips that might help 1. frequent shorts help a lot 2. long form videos a get more views if they are past 8 minutes and 10 seconds, so if you hit that mark it will be seen by more eyes 3. 40k is a good topic to follow for more or less infinite content since there is always more shit coming out. Keep up the good work

@@switterbeet40K Nurgle's appeals are immortality and no pain. Are you scared of dying? Do you hate pain? Nurgle can make you almost biologically immortal and you'll never be in pain again. However there are a LOTTT of downsides in terms of aesthetics and quality of said life. That's why 99.999999999% of Nurgle followers were forcefully converted with plagues, because most people don't view it as worth it to be alive and look like that. The plagues just weed out those who just die and becomes pox walkers from those so desperate to live they'll take any deal and become a plague bearer or something. That remaining 00.000000001% of people are just signing up to try and become a demon prince. A truly immortal being outside of a few exceptionally powerful weapons.
@@TB.167 Hmm... Smells like Inquisition is here. Unfortunetely for you, you are in domain of our Dark Prince. Your false Corpse God won't save you here.
I’m not sure if this is entirely correct description of Slaneesh, especially after I read the book “Fulgrim”, I realised what kind of degeneracy and doom Slameeshi’s influence brings to people. The dream of delicious living fades away very quickly once you submit yourself to Slaneesh.
As a Nurgle fan I can explain it-I like him, because he's the most honest and least malicious Chaos god. He tells me-you'll be gross, you'll be miserable and you'll suffer-but I'll give you the strength to endure it and make suffering feel decent. As so, as a person who has had a shitty lot in life, I can get it very well.
People think, getting into Slaanesh worship will be all orgies, drugs & Rock´n´Roll. But it´s more like being in Hellraiser and you´re the new plaything for the Cenobites.... and they gonna play with you for an eternity.
I understand the appeal of Slaneesh, in a world of Grim dark and Death, why would it be so bad to give excess happiness a chance? But that's where I think the followers of Slaneesh are the most tragic in the sense of they are always chasing a high that is increasingly hard to achieve. Just like a person addicted to substances like Heroin or Crack, the first high hits the hardest, and afterwards you are stuck chasing that feeling, which is why many followers resort to increasingly perverted and degenerate acts and forms. Take Lucius the eternal, he is regarded as one of the best Duelists and to an extent that its hard for him to find an equal in combat. And because this Combat is his form of influence with Slaneesh, he increasingly feels as its monotonies as he cant get what he desires. A Khornite berserker may always feel anguish when they aren't in combat, but the Thrill of just combat brings them happiness that they don't have to chase. Its something about the duality of life, without negative emotions the positive ones don't feel as good, and infinite pleasure brings infinite boredom.
Isn't that in part because of Khorne? Because he tried to stop her making/birthing for so long that when it was brought into "always existing" her appearence in the universe was more "spectacular".
Well, with Nurgle you actually don’t know what you look like. Nor do you care. You don’t feel pain or anything bad. But there is the true best Chaos god, the true power, the one who even the four great beings of the immaterium fear, even the least sane and intelligent only barely whisper his name… Malice, the God of Anarchy and vengeance!
@@Zwh-yr6bp Funny theory, not true though. They actively hate everyone but themselves. The Big E is a god by himself at this point, but he doesn’t take on a visage as Malice. It would be cool no doubt, but Malice is his own thing. He existed before Slanesh, alongside the other Chaos gods. He was just less known.
With Slaanesh anything bad you do feel becomes pleasure. Death or even spawndom would not scare you because you'd be too insane to feel anything other than bliss from such a novel experience.
Personally I like Nurgle, the acceptance of death and decay just appeals to me. When there is no hope there is Nurgle, when you suffer he can ease the pain, when you die he can let you stay even if your body is no longer alive, eventually everything dies, there will be no wars to wage, no fate to change and nothing to be perfected, and when the last star fades there will be nothing but decay and then Nurgle will win the great game once and for all.
Well yes, what do you expect from a slanesh worshipers. One of their cult ranks the gods by 2 standards: 1. How much do i want to fuck that god? 2. How many orgies does that cult/god create for me to participate in?
As somebody who can't afford to play 40k, if I had to choose a Chaos faction, it would definitely be Nurgle. Think about it--his armies are like joyous processions. No more pain, and after awhile, you don't even care that you've become a hideous sludge-pile of pus and infected phlegm. It seems like having the blessings of Nurgle would be like...a very stinky, but supremely bumpin' party.
But it's akin to being mind controlled, I heard there was a story of few Plague marines that got cut of Nurgle's warp which made them realize what they have become and were horrified
@@volterite9605 Nurgle is the god of mediocre losers who'd rather give up and accept living with hyper magical doodoo AIDS than they would actually try. The more jovial aspects of Nurglites are quite literally a cope, in the sense that of course you no longer have to worry about things getting worse when you've already intentionally lowered yourself to rock bottom. I'd rather aim high and die trying. In that way I've always thought he'd work just as well as nemesis to Slaanesh as he is to Tzeentch.
I do appreciate the irony of you depicting visually what Slaaneshi worlds *actually* look like while lying through your cultist teeth about the lord of excess. It's a nice little self contained piece. Now... Someone call the inquisitor please, I have a YT link I'd like to send him.
Yeh the thing with the chaos gods (and real world religions) is that they do sound good on paper. I’m for a lot of people they are probably the only way to enjoy life. But just like with real life religions it’s still horrible, you’ll still end up suffering but in this instance you’ll be able to gaslight yourself into thinking you’re happy.
Nurgle out here catching strays and were not even a minute in 😭 hes my favorite chaos god. As someone who overthinks alot, the uncertainty of what happens after death deeply frightens me. so the idea of death being a big green smiling guy that wants us all to be friends strikes me as heartwarming. Anyway, great vid! Spoken like a true heretic.
Even considering her corruption of Fulgrim, and Being a Chaos God generally. Slaanesh’s existence is still probably a net positive for humanity solely because she dislodged the Eldar from galactic dominance. Any other god would’ve turned a species that birthed them into a thrall civilization to do their bidding or some shit, devouring the whole cookie jar in one go is hilarious and based - She truly do Thirst.
@alexandrub8786 yes they are the remnants of the Eldar empire of old, but they are the like 1% who survived. So imo the dark elf issue would’ve been way worse had 99% of them not gotten taken out.
If I really, really really had to rally ONE Chaos God (because if i had to join Chaos, I'd rather go undivided than follow one precise aspect) this would be my ranking : 1st choice - Nurgle. May look and smell like shit, but at least, i'm happy with happy smelly friends. Then second place Tzeentch and Slaanesh ex-aequo. Both have their pros and cons to me. Tzeentch + Knowledge , never a dull moment - i can't care less about ambition, and i don't like backstabbing and even less turning into a mass of protoplasm. Slaanesh + Better artistry in my crafts - Selfishness, addiction, and potentially cruetly. Don't wanna go down that road. Then there is that dude on his skull throne that i think of as the worst of all, Khorne. Martial prowess? Honor? I call BULLSHIT. There is no honor in thirsting for war for the sake of war.
Slaanesh or tzeentch would probably be my last choices. tzeentch is pretty obvious, he would fuck you over for his own amusement. Slaanesh, well... The idea of constantly chasing bigger and better highs and never being truly satisfied is honestly horrifying to me. It's a particularly insidious form of slavery where the "slave master" is your own mind. I've got my vices and indulging in them only brings temperary joy, but lasting anguish. I think it would be a terrible existance, no longer being able to gain joy from the simple things in life.
Funnily enough there is a line in the codex stating that his end goal is a universe of hope. *but that doesn't change the fact his plans require you be made into a tentacle monster, are you willing to die for that cause?!*
I personally love tzeentch, also the reason I used to like nurgle was for how his followers are shifted to be slow but strong, otherwise yeah nurgle kinda wack, in lore nurgle followers were usually dying of sickness so turned to him to my knowledge
This is fun! I just watched some other youtuber argue in the exact opposite direction. It's almost like diffrent perspectives on life dictate how people prefer to interprete their entertainment
A galaxy under the dominion of Nurgle doesnt sound too bad. Wake up on your pus bed, go high five a local plaguebearer, tend to your blood fungus garden and maybe end the day playing with some nurglings. Sure, it’s a stinky poo poo life, but it’s a fairly jolly one
"What dost thou want? Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Wouldst thou like to see the world? Dost thou see a book before thee? Remove thy shift. I will guide thy hand."
Slaanesh is awful people think she/he is good but she/he is not. In the beginning everything is unparalleled in pleasure but eventually it will all become dull and boring which forces followers to dive deeper and deeper into depravity to get a new high. It's literally like a real world equivalent of being severely addicted to drugs. It would be best to stay loyal to the emperor if not then Nurgle.
ps: the whole thing about "they feel pleasure even in pain" and "they reach new heights and new sensations they otherwise never would have" sounds like something straight out of Hellraiser lore (where they come to love being tortured, the more painful the better, because they love negative stuff, and new/unique stuff)
"reality ruled by slaanesh would be full of pleasure, art, beauty, sensation in all of its forms" yeah, remember this words when daemonettes uses your ribcage as xylophone, your skin as drum tympani and your screams of agony as a 'beautiful' lyrics for a song
I completely agree with you. I can also relate to Slaanesh as far as my character is concerned. In past i looked at Slaanesh with disgust and confusion, but then i read a particular grimoire called "Fulgrim", which helped me understand what Slaanesh was really on about. And yes, saying that Slaanesh is a god of sex isn't giving her enough credits, but you described her perfectly! You may find all my words ironic, if i say that my favorite race is Aeldari :D
I've always disliked that they define Slaanesh with "excess". I've always thought Passion and Obsession work better as the two sides of Her coin. The glory of passion for pleasure and perfection, and the tragedy of obsession with finding the next high and actually being perfect. It also fits Him into the big 4 as another archetype. She's not all encompassing, she's just one of the god bros.
@@switterbeet40K luckily there is head cannon for all of this. It's kind of genius too. Everything that has ever been written or said about the 40k universe is the equivalent of something a friend of a friend of mine told me. The narrator should always be treated as unreliable. It's a story told over beer in a dark bar. It's why every game on the table can be linked directly to an event in the lore.
I believe Tzeench is the best as he makes you godlike in magic, you can even just be a physical beast like Arek Demonclaw. All you have to be is built different to not become a spawn, while Slaanesh is like an addiction the first high being the best then becoming ever more depraved to hit those highs again. Slaanesh is 2nd with Nurgle being 3rd, but all of the gods are very close to one another in my mind
Slaanesh also tends to have some of the neatest stories, from one of the best horus heresy books fulgrim to even the most recent renegades story. One of my favorite examples of slaanesh's possession was a navigator just wanted a drink of wine and got possessed by a keeper of secrets
For once, I'd like to see an aspect of Slaanesh that isn't toxic to his followers. A poindexter accountant that truly cares for his toys. A slaanesg aspect that thinks like a great capitalist wanting to squeeze every bit of juice from his pawns. Instead of burning out his followers with such a sudden increase in desperate need for newer and greater heights of sensation, what if Slaanesh wanted each follower to live long fruitful lives with a LONG TERM plan to give him the most possible output. Then again, that would make Slaanesh too strong. It would have to be an entire chapter in the 40k story of how all the other chaos gods and faction now having to gang up on an intelligent slaanesh otherwise he'll overtake every player.
There was I story I read once where a Chaos Psyker asked a corrupted Nobel why he choose to worship Slaanesh in particular, to which the Nobel said something like: _Why would you even ask such a question? Why wouldn't I worship Slaanesh?! She doesn't ask me to launch crusades in her name, she doesn't ask me to slaughter entire worlds. All she asks is that I have fun, that I enjoy my steak, that I enjoy my companions(Diddy Parties), and be happy with life._ The problem is that you'll never really be happy; Slaanesh will always force you to take it to new heights. Eventually you'll start tearing your own guts out and sticking your winky in a lawnmower just to feel something Just look at what Slaanesh worship did to Charlie Sheen and Madonna.
I couldn't agree more. Slaanesh is my favorite Chaos God. I personally see Slaanesh as female, even though Slaanesh is more complex than the female/male binary. A galaxy ruled by her would probably destroy itself sooner or later, but everyone would enjoy the party until then.
Instant Subscription. Would love to see more long-form videos. Khorne is my favourite chaos god for who else deserves worship in the grim darkness of the far future where there is only war?
Very well said argument. I do think though that a continues strive towards smanything doesn't necessarily lead to slanesh. Without improvement one stagnates and falls to ruin. The empire of mankind, and the necron are great examples of this. As such the improvement of oneself in of itself shouldn't be excess. This can also be argued for many other concepts. With that, at which point is excess? Is it the God Slanesh who determines this? I think not otherwise literally everyone who seeks to improve in something would fall ti the warp god. Is it a society that determines this? Probably not as each society will define excess differently. My guess is it would have to be excessive that the pursuit both directly and indirectly harms yourself and others blindidly.
Nurgle is quite appealing for anyone with a chronic condition. Mine is quite benign compared to what some people go through, but it has still irrevocably changed my life for the worse and robbed me of many things I once enjoyed. Nurgle isn't about taking it away or healing it, he's about making it my greatest strength and weapon. That's appealing because even though I hate it, I understand it's a part of me, a component in the larger accumulation of attributes and concepts I call myself. So many times when we try to improve ourselves we try our best to excise such faulty components, which makes those of us for whom this is impossible feel quite demoralized upon repeated failure. You feel that you can never be more than your messed up spine, hip, eyes, jaw, legs, whatever. Well guess what, The Grandfather begs to differ. You can be more and you don't have to excise what is intrinsically a part of you to do this. Accept it and revel in it. Become an immortal eidolon to the highest truth of life and time itself- which is decay- and see how what you once thought of as your greatest flaw is made into your strongest asset. Finally feel the love you've been denied by the part of your mind that denies this truth. And of course, spread this knowledge to others. It's why Grandfather is the best Chaos God out there. He venerates us as well.
to me, tzneetzh is objectively worst to follow. slaneesh is second, you are a replaceable toy to her. chaing a high that never comes, what is fun without restraint ?
Tzeentch is ironically the "best" chaos God morally True neutral + hope = a saint by 40k standards. Plus that grand plan of his is to bring the constant "morally grey +1" state forever. So when he fucks you over it's for a cause that is, given the setting, pretty damn worth it. The problem is how often he fucks you over. You ain't seeing relative utopia. You probably won't live to see the cause you're committing atrocities for. And because it's tzeentch, most folks in the setting don't know this is his ultimate purpose. Tl;Dr Tzeentch is a good guy but stay the fuck away from his followers
@@Corvus-Xoriat From an outsider standpoint, yes he is the best. however he gives the least amounts of fucks to his followers among all of all the chaos gods. in fact he likes to fucks you over. your purpose of existence is for him to fuck with you and use you as pawns.
Slannesh is in some ways the most sinister of the Chaos gods. Tzeentch will decieve you with trickery and madness. Khorne will blind you with rage. Nurgle will smother you from the painful truth. But Slannesh? She will give you exactly what you want. And with a clear mind you will demand more. And more. And more as you slide deeper and deeper into degeneracy and cruelty... Anyways- As you can see from the Grey outfit, you're in trouble. *explodes pancakes with mind*
Though not fan of Slaanesh I will say some of my favorite characters worship them like Sigvald who is my favorite champion from fantasy and Fulgrim who’s my second fav of the Primarchs
Personal chaos god favorites: 1.Nurgle (grandfather loves all his garndchildrens) 2.Khorne (he might punch me, but he will not backstab me) 3. The bird one (he will sabotage you for the lols of it) 4. The Great Horned Rat 5.Malice 6. Slanesh
Slaanesh does not deal in pleasure, it deals in addiction. The whole point is diminishing returns, every thing a cultist does becomes less rewarding than the last one. The ultimate result is that no action is pleasurable, no matter how extreme. If Slaanesh won, the result would be an universe that craves pleasure to the point of complete insanity, but gets none.
Good Shit

It's a particularly insidious form of slavery where the "slave master" is your own mind. I've got my vices and indulging in them only brings temperary joy, but lasting anguish. I think it would be a terrible existance, no longer being able to gain joy from the simple things in life.
Funnily enough there is a line in the codex stating that his end goal is a universe of hope.
*but that doesn't change the fact his plans require you be made into a tentacle monster, are you willing to die for that cause?!*
keep cooking, you can make some banger stuff
@@chasescott1745 Thank you so much!
I personally love tzeentch, also the reason I used to like nurgle was for how his followers are shifted to be slow but strong, otherwise yeah nurgle kinda wack, in lore nurgle followers were usually dying of sickness so turned to him to my knowledge
This is fun!
I just watched some other youtuber argue in the exact opposite direction.
It's almost like diffrent perspectives on life dictate how people prefer to interprete their entertainment
A galaxy under the dominion of Nurgle doesnt sound too bad. Wake up on your pus bed, go high five a local plaguebearer, tend to your blood fungus garden and maybe end the day playing with some nurglings.
Sure, it’s a stinky poo poo life, but it’s a fairly jolly one
"What dost thou want?
Wouldst thou like the taste of butter?
A pretty dress?
Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Wouldst thou like to see the world?
Dost thou see a book before thee? Remove thy shift.
I will guide thy hand."
Slaanesh is awful people think she/he is good but she/he is not. In the beginning everything is unparalleled in pleasure but eventually it will all become dull and boring which forces followers to dive deeper and deeper into depravity to get a new high. It's literally like a real world equivalent of being severely addicted to drugs. It would be best to stay loyal to the emperor if not then Nurgle.
ps: the whole thing about "they feel pleasure even in pain" and "they reach new heights and new sensations they otherwise never would have" sounds like something straight out of Hellraiser lore (where they come to love being tortured, the more painful the better, because they love negative stuff, and new/unique stuff)
"reality ruled by slaanesh would be full of pleasure, art, beauty, sensation in all of its forms"
yeah, remember this words when daemonettes uses your ribcage as xylophone, your skin as drum tympani and your screams of agony as a 'beautiful' lyrics for a song
Absolutely agree! FOR SLAANESH!!!!
I completely agree with you. I can also relate to Slaanesh as far as my character is concerned. In past i looked at Slaanesh with disgust and confusion, but then i read a particular grimoire called "Fulgrim", which helped me understand what Slaanesh was really on about. And yes, saying that Slaanesh is a god of sex isn't giving her enough credits, but you described her perfectly! You may find all my words ironic, if i say that my favorite race is Aeldari :D
Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Commenting to help the algorithm! Just found your channel and love your content so far, keep it up and good luck!! (Inquisitor this one right here)
Great video and good points. I also lean more towards Slaanesh :)
*_This one right here inquisitor_*
I've always disliked that they define Slaanesh with "excess". I've always thought Passion and Obsession work better as the two sides of Her coin. The glory of passion for pleasure and perfection, and the tragedy of obsession with finding the next high and actually being perfect. It also fits Him into the big 4 as another archetype. She's not all encompassing, she's just one of the god bros.
@@BouncingTribbles Yes I think obsession and perfection fit her a lot better, but sadly I don't write for GW.
@@switterbeet40K luckily there is head cannon for all of this. It's kind of genius too. Everything that has ever been written or said about the 40k universe is the equivalent of something a friend of a friend of mine told me. The narrator should always be treated as unreliable. It's a story told over beer in a dark bar. It's why every game on the table can be linked directly to an event in the lore.
I’m personally a fan of this longer form content!
Keep doing what you’re doing 👍
Everyone has a favorite chaos god? Sounds like heresy. There are some of us who hate them all.
Hang on... This is Heresy!(I do agree though, the circles that surround Slaanesh's palace are such interesting concepts to me.)
I believe Tzeench is the best as he makes you godlike in magic, you can even just be a physical beast like Arek Demonclaw. All you have to be is built different to not become a spawn, while Slaanesh is like an addiction the first high being the best then becoming ever more depraved to hit those highs again. Slaanesh is 2nd with Nurgle being 3rd, but all of the gods are very close to one another in my mind
Best explanation on why someone would choose slaneesh by far
Slaanesh also tends to have some of the neatest stories, from one of the best horus heresy books fulgrim to even the most recent renegades story. One of my favorite examples of slaanesh's possession was a navigator just wanted a drink of wine and got possessed by a keeper of secrets
Slaanesh is probably the easiest way to getting to chaos undivided since she's still being empowered by an excessive lust for power.
For once, I'd like to see an aspect of Slaanesh that isn't toxic to his followers. A poindexter accountant that truly cares for his toys. A slaanesg aspect that thinks like a great capitalist wanting to squeeze every bit of juice from his pawns.
Instead of burning out his followers with such a sudden increase in desperate need for newer and greater heights of sensation, what if Slaanesh wanted each follower to live long fruitful lives with a LONG TERM plan to give him the most possible output.
Then again, that would make Slaanesh too strong. It would have to be an entire chapter in the 40k story of how all the other chaos gods and faction now having to gang up on an intelligent slaanesh otherwise he'll overtake every player.
i should be calling the inquisition, but you may have a point, i should make a small slaanesh army next
There was I story I read once where a Chaos Psyker asked a corrupted Nobel why he choose to worship Slaanesh in particular, to which the Nobel said something like:
_Why would you even ask such a question? Why wouldn't I worship Slaanesh?!
She doesn't ask me to launch crusades in her name, she doesn't ask me to slaughter entire worlds. All she asks is that I have fun, that I enjoy my steak, that I enjoy my companions(Diddy Parties), and be happy with life._
The problem is that you'll never really be happy; Slaanesh will always force you to take it to new heights. Eventually you'll start tearing your own guts out and sticking your winky in a lawnmower just to feel something
Just look at what Slaanesh worship did to Charlie Sheen and Madonna.
also you forgot to mention that _things shall get loud now!_
*Call the Ordo Hereticus*
Hello, Ordo Hereticus? Yeah, it happen again.
I couldn't agree more. Slaanesh is my favorite Chaos God. I personally see Slaanesh as female, even though Slaanesh is more complex than the female/male binary. A galaxy ruled by her would probably destroy itself sooner or later, but everyone would enjoy the party until then.
Instant Subscription. Would love to see more long-form videos. Khorne is my favourite chaos god for who else deserves worship in the grim darkness of the far future where there is only war?
I hope when emperors children come out they go full Hellraiser in their designs
SLAANESH SINGS THROUGH US!!!!
Nice intellectual take. It was probably inspired by Tzeentch
Always chasing the dragon, always teased, never a release.... personally, I think it's exhausting.
Very well said argument. I do think though that a continues strive towards smanything doesn't necessarily lead to slanesh.
Without improvement one stagnates and falls to ruin. The empire of mankind, and the necron are great examples of this.
As such the improvement of oneself in of itself shouldn't be excess. This can also be argued for many other concepts.
With that, at which point is excess?
Is it the God Slanesh who determines this? I think not otherwise literally everyone who seeks to improve in something would fall ti the warp god.
Is it a society that determines this? Probably not as each society will define excess differently.
My guess is it would have to be excessive that the pursuit both directly and indirectly harms yourself and others blindidly.
*sigh* picks up vox set, “yes inquisitor, drop the viral bombs right here… the Emperor protects”
Gotta say, this is first evangelical testamony for Slaneesh I've heard.
[The Aeldari disliked that]
Being the "Best Chaos God" is kind of like being the most popular guy in prison.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! WHY DONT YOU SAY THAT TO MY FACE, MY BOOT WANTS TO HEAR MORE OF IT: IM GONNA TEAR YOU APART AND FEED YOU TO THE HOUNDS
nurgle is life and love. he loves his followers and his followers love him. He takes away pain and frees fear of death.
DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO!?
spoiler alert: she does.
Nurgle is quite appealing for anyone with a chronic condition. Mine is quite benign compared to what some people go through, but it has still irrevocably changed my life for the worse and robbed me of many things I once enjoyed. Nurgle isn't about taking it away or healing it, he's about making it my greatest strength and weapon. That's appealing because even though I hate it, I understand it's a part of me, a component in the larger accumulation of attributes and concepts I call myself. So many times when we try to improve ourselves we try our best to excise such faulty components, which makes those of us for whom this is impossible feel quite demoralized upon repeated failure. You feel that you can never be more than your messed up spine, hip, eyes, jaw, legs, whatever. Well guess what, The Grandfather begs to differ. You can be more and you don't have to excise what is intrinsically a part of you to do this. Accept it and revel in it. Become an immortal eidolon to the highest truth of life and time itself- which is decay- and see how what you once thought of as your greatest flaw is made into your strongest asset. Finally feel the love you've been denied by the part of your mind that denies this truth. And of course, spread this knowledge to others. It's why Grandfather is the best Chaos God out there. He venerates us as well.
It does help that he takes rhe pain away while you are part of the family.
This one right here, Commissar.
1:02 and there you have the appeal of nurgle.
to me, tzneetzh is objectively worst to follow. slaneesh is second, you are a replaceable toy to her. chaing a high that never comes, what is fun without restraint ?
CHANGE FOR TZEENTCH RAAAAAAAH!!!
That Is The Fun part, about submiting to slanesh you Will ever reach new high, but these expiriencis Will become norm for you eventuali.
Tzeentch is ironically the "best" chaos God morally
True neutral + hope = a saint by 40k standards. Plus that grand plan of his is to bring the constant "morally grey +1" state forever.
So when he fucks you over it's for a cause that is, given the setting, pretty damn worth it.
The problem is how often he fucks you over. You ain't seeing relative utopia. You probably won't live to see the cause you're committing atrocities for. And because it's tzeentch, most folks in the setting don't know this is his ultimate purpose.
Tl;Dr Tzeentch is a good guy but stay the fuck away from his followers
@@Corvus-Xoriat From an outsider standpoint, yes he is the best. however he gives the least amounts of fucks to his followers among all of all the chaos gods. in fact he likes to fucks you over. your purpose of existence is for him to fuck with you and use you as pawns.
Slannesh is in some ways the most sinister of the Chaos gods.
Tzeentch will decieve you with trickery and madness.
Khorne will blind you with rage.
Nurgle will smother you from the painful truth.
But Slannesh? She will give you exactly what you want. And with a clear mind you will demand more. And more. And more as you slide deeper and deeper into degeneracy and cruelty...
Anyways- As you can see from the Grey outfit, you're in trouble.
*explodes pancakes with mind*
This sounds like a load of Heresy. Convincing heresy, i might add, but it's still Heresy!
Why serve a Chaos God? When you can become one. 😈
and if that fails you can always worship the balld messiah. you know exactly who I'm talking about.
Bad wrong, man thing! Great Horned Rat is best best!
The Perfect Prince is pleased with this video 😌
what if i reject them ALL?? ever thought about that?
contemplating the best chaos god is like contemplating the best piece of shit you've stepped on.
also gork an mork is the best god there is.
Counter argument: Gork and Mork, da bestest zoggin’ godz in da galaxy.
smells, sounds and feels like heresy
@@blunt_force_trauma I promise it's not!
I agree! great video, keep it up :3
HERESY! LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR OF MANKIND!
The pleasure Slaanesh offers, is not the kind of pleasure you want to experience.
Though not fan of Slaanesh I will say some of my favorite characters worship them like Sigvald who is my favorite champion from fantasy and Fulgrim who’s my second fav of the Primarchs
@@warrenweaver6664 Sigvald is an awful man but he's so over the top it's hard to hate him. Fulgrim is my baby boy tho ofc
I like to listen to the "Enter the world of Slaanesh" trailer fot total war, to remind me of what i want in life lol
Personal chaos god favorites:
1.Nurgle (grandfather loves all his garndchildrens)
2.Khorne (he might punch me, but he will not backstab me)
3. The bird one (he will sabotage you for the lols of it)
4. The Great Horned Rat
5.Malice
6. Slanesh
Tzeentch, cuz I got a plan
Tahiti?
And your god will wreck it if it affects his great plan that is…???
@@alexandrub8786 psssshhh like you could even fathom the complexities. Probably involves tentacles to be honest tho.
Daemonette Hot Tub stream when
Slaanesh does not deal in pleasure, it deals in addiction. The whole point is diminishing returns, every thing a cultist does becomes less rewarding than the last one. The ultimate result is that no action is pleasurable, no matter how extreme. If Slaanesh won, the result would be an universe that craves pleasure to the point of complete insanity, but gets none.
heresy
