Faction Thread 5: Chaos

[Enthes]

nurgle is the oldest i think as its "grand father nurgle"
not that this makes a difference to the mod as they are all the same faction

Of age or size I know nothing, but I do know that it's just plain "Father Nurgle", and that he's always depicted as always laughing and being jolly. The bringer of long awaited decay. Nurgle was always my favourite, but I've recently gotten Slaanesh leanings. Nothing better than naked chicks, even if they do have bug eyes and crab claws.

He's called both... Some call him grandfather and some call him father, at least I'm pretty sure.

As for Slaanesh, I'm not sure if he's the absolute strongest, at least not yet. But he's definitely growing in power, very quickly. But all the chaos gods are technically the strongest in their own rights.
I mean, Khorne is pretty militarily kickass,
Tzeench can trick the gods into either squabbling among themselves or fighting towards his own goals. As well as being good with magic, obviously.
Nurgle could probably cause plenty of devastation, after all, he can cause plagues.
Slaanesh... Well everyone has their own selfish desires, so that puts him up there off the bat.

To settle this I looked it up. In the Hordes of Chaos book, which I think can be considered the "rules". Yes, he's called both. Sorry about that.

I tried to check where it says Slaanesh is the most popular and it doesn't say in this book. I think there's a reference to it in Gotrek and Felix. Anyhoo...it does say in Hordes of Chaos that Slaanesh is popular, but not the most popular. So if it's implied or not I'm not sure.

It says that Khorne warriors spend lots of time fighting each other, which is a problem when comparing numbers since followers or Khorne don't stick around long.

Nurgle....no idea. Could be anything. Doesn't say.

Tzeentch on the other hand is very secretive. In the old Chaos books it said that Tzeentch was a confusing god to worship. Sometimes they thought they worshipped Slaanesh, but it was really Tzeentch and so on. They inflitrate any and all sects just to make trouble. They could be huge or tiny, nobody knows.

edit: from now I promise to look up shit before saying anything and quote it. I've got all the books here. So I've got no excuse for screwing it up.

I haven't read whole topic so some of my suggestions may have been told before but I have some ideas to make chaos factions different:

Khorne units could have charge without orders ability, and maybe better attack value in their profile or some bonus in when charging.

Nurgle units could have better natural defence, and maybe some kind of fear effect.

Slaanesh could have the... don't remember the name of the ability but they won't rout.

Tseench is a bit complex. I don't know anything special to them.

And when I say [import god here] units I don't mean all the units of that faction, I mean the units who have marks such as chaos warriors and knights and maybe spawns if you can make them.

[Poka]

Is there a possibility to add chaos warriors with halberds? Because those things were in the old warrior sprue.

I think the unit list is kinda complicated. You will have to make different units for every weapon combination.

Maybe i would suggest two handed weapons for the choosen warriors and for the "normal" warriors a variant with shield and handweapon and a variant with halberd.


Do you already have a unit list?
And if yes, could we see it?
