I think something people forget about Khorne is that there is a degree of mirroring between himself and Slaanesh. Under the patronage of either power you are living the life of an addict, and enslaved down to your soul to these addictions. There is a state of constant and building restlessness that can never be fully sated.
I read the Soul Drinker series (Big spoilers ahead), in the third book one of the chapter's marines, sergeant Tellos, and about thirty more assault marines with him, fall to Kharn corruption. Just as you said, its like they get lobotomized, there is almost nothing left of Tellos, his intelligence or personality. The whole story is kind of tragic because more than turning evil Tellos just turned insane, and you can see how he lost everything, his identity as a Space Marine, his honor and pride, and worse of all the brotherhood he shared with the other marines. All of it gone and replaced by blind rage, now he was trying to kill the men he used to call brothers. He felt more like an animal out of control than an actual, evil villain, and that's just sad. Great video! Really on point with the downsides of following Kharn.
Thinking that any of these choices is good is obviously foolish. The whole point is that the power provided ultimately weakens you. Much like a drug that only makes you a lesser being dependent on it to survive. The emperors children may be the ones that take this drug literally, but all the other paths lead to a similar attempt to chase the dragon of some greater emotion.
It comes down to what you want. I'm not really planning on selling my soul anytime soon...or ever...but if I was put into a position where falling to Chaos was an inevitability and I had to pick a deity, I'm going with the one whose honest about what he expects of you and what he'll do to you over the offer of twisted "love" from Nurgle, the randomness of Tzeentch, or whatever sick depths I'll be drawn to in bondage to Slaanesh. If you go to Chaos, you *will* lose yourself to madness and obsession one way or the other, but at least you can be honest with yourself about it and try to retain some semblance of sanity and honor for as long as you can.
Following any chaos god is like “a deal with the devil”. No matter what you gain you always lose in the end. Imperium bros stay winning. SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE. BLOOD FOR THE GOD-EMPEROR!
also not every khorne follower is the big and swole berzerker a hunter like kraven or an assassin like deadshot would also fit khorne a serial killer, a dextrous acrobat who exalts in spilling blood, someone who just loves huge guns, or a group that goes EXTREME on the military discipline and the extermination of their enemies
I’d fall to Slanesh if I fell. The reason isn’t because I’m a horny fool, or because I’ve deluded myself into thinking she is somehow less evil than the rest. My reasoning is like that of Satan’s in paradise lost. If you fall to chaos you are falling into hell, into the opposite of good. To quote Satan “so farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear. Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost; Evil be thou my good.” In other words if you are to be evil at least be honest with yourself about what you are. That is why Slanesh is the best option, the Prince is the embodiment of unjustified unapologetic evil. If you are going to hell you might as well go all the way.
I wouldnt say cares for in any real way. The "love" nurgle gives is not unconditional and should you displease him or not do what he wants you to do he will wreck your shit just as if not worse than any other chaos god. At the end of the day nurgle is still a malevolent evil god and is not truly loving
@@thegreenbellpepper but as long as you dont actively displease him he is very unlikely to screw you over like the other chaos gods will on a whim. its an abusive relationship sure but at least he will pretend to love you unlike the other chaos gods who range from actively hating you to disliking you
I’ve pledged to Nurgle. Grandfather is kind, he blesses us with a painless existence.

Angron's calmest son would be someone like Doom Guy

Khorne will make sure you are in endless pain because pain fuels rage.

Very true, it’s most likely Nurgle 😂

i mean the imperium sucks too but just differently
@@brightestlight9462imperium sucks so your species survives chaos sucks so your God's get empowered
Chaos undivided thank you very much, if I'm making a deal with the devil, I'm making a deal with all the devils
This just in, The mega devil from super hell is not actually the chill guy people think he is. More as this story develops.
also not every khorne follower is the big and swole berzerker
a hunter like kraven or an assassin like deadshot would also fit khorne
a serial killer, a dextrous acrobat who exalts in spilling blood, someone who just loves huge guns, or a group that goes EXTREME on the military discipline and the extermination of their enemies

nurgle is best choice he is the only one who actually cares about his followers and living on a nurgle planet is more peaceful then a hive world

SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK
I miss the acceptance of the gods aspects, Khorne's noble knight form was so cool...
Imo slaneesh is by far the worst of the gods.
tzeentch is much worse than slaneesh tzeentch is just a dick you basiclly have to win the lottery every other day to not get screwed by him
i mean its still there, but ultimately it was always a charade
If I wanted to be an edgy boy I would pick Khorne
