The Chaos Founding

Reader mode
FOr Khorne, I want a White Scar warband, i know it sounds plain but i want a hyper aggressive that can close in quickly with vehicles and start chopping heads
 
How about a Spartan-themed warband? take the defense-focused Imperial Fist gene-seed and make them Khorne Worshipers. They are mostly melee but they have cool formations like phalanxes that boost their defensive potential

And I still don't see any problems. Khorne is the least interesting out of all Chaos Gods. I see no reason why we should keep "balance", when we can create five more, Slaaneshi Warbands that are fun instead of two, boring Khornates.

If you lack the imagination to come up with an interesting Khorne Warband, it doesn't mean he's boring.😝

I'd love to see (1)Iron Hands Cyberdemons, or (2)Thousand Sons Berserkers who have had their powers reversed and are suppressing magic, or (3)Alpha Legionnaires who each imagine themselves as Sun Tzu and command their own mortal warband (running their own Total War party).

Isn't that interesting?
 
Imagine Tzeentchian Alpha Legion "Warband", that's just "Nine dudes reviving each other via Secret of Revival" (+ eventual Traitor Guard/Cultists)

Yes, it is, with exception of Thousand Sons idea, Khorne already gives his worshippers anti-magic stuff, this would be both redundant and most likely, unnoticed by anyone in-universe, beside the Warband anti-magic stuff being perhaps more persistant or stronger, but again, no one would have any reason to think, this isn't just the same stuff as usual with Khornates.

But the problem is: Could we even do this? It's easy to create you're examples, but it's harder when we have only specific choices to make. It's up in the air if we got Khornates Pact that could make army of Sun Tzu's, it's up in the air if we got Khorne planets that could give interesting worldview to our Warbands.

Also, that still doesn't change the fact that Khorne is the most boring God and by default, any of his major Champions are also boring. Khorne doesn't care from where blood flows, the idea that Khorne has anything to do with honor is something that is ascribed to him by mortals, and most of people who will get into his good graces either are already reduced to mindless brutes that only crave slaughter or are walking that path.

None of the Chaos Gods are good but they definitely more interesting. With Nurgle you can have abusing father angle, Nurgle truly loves his worshippers and Daemons but this isn't nice love, it's abusive, twisted love, where if you do something "wrong", Nurgle is "forced" to punish you and then will ask you, why you forced this punishment upon yourself, because Papa Nurgle hates seeing his "children" hurt.



With Slaanesh, you can go with false innocence, with Slaanesh masquerading himself as this personification of virtue, idealism and innocence.



With Tzeentch, you can go with self-defeatist angle, with Tzeentch simultaneously wanting to rule the whole existence just like any other of his fellow gods, and establish himself as the supreme being, but at the same time, being unable to stop scheming, and loosing himself in plans for the sake of plans and tricks for the sake of trick and constantly stopping himself from winning, not even intentionally to keep scheming, but simply due to loosing himself in the thousand of plans, unable to find his way out of his own conspiracies.

And with Malice, you can have angle of being the only honest god, who makes no illusions of who he is and actually respecting his servants, wanting nothing but destruction of other Chaos Gods and everything else, and instead enslaving his worshippers and champions, he just gives them the power they need to bring forth destruction across the Galaxy. Malice doesn't care about domination like the other Four, he just wants ruin.
Khorne has nothing like that. He was always just skulls for the skull throne, blood for the blood god, again, with other gods you can at least pretend that they have good traits, or even with they negative traits, do something interesting. Khorne is just blood and skulls and if you think there's any place for things like "honor" in him, you are either ignorant or straight up delusional like Khorne own worshippers. You can make interesting Khornate characters, but to do, it's best to just ignore any pretense of "honor" or caring about anything but slaughter, strenght and war.

For example, Psyker Khornate who uses Biomancy to turn himself into mutated, Khorne fueled beast, the Khornate in question uses his own natural powers to harness Warp, so Khorne isn't bothered by it, unlikely weakling sorcerers who try to cheat by using rituals or making pacts with other beings to gain power that isn't theirs or otherwise "deserved".
Or Khornate obsessed with war machines, just ridding across battlefield in giant, war-tank, and simply flattening everyone, killing millions on industrial scale.
And again, the question is, if we be able to even do any of this, in the first place.
 
Proposition: To "complete the pattern", 10th Warband will be Undivided (Faithful) & 11th Warband will be Undivided (Mercenary), or reverse

I mean there is nothing wrong with at least seeing what Khorne offers in terms of Warband creation, we can check it for the 8th Warband and if there is something to be had that's more then just the normal screaming berserkers, then cool. If not then we don't have to pick him again and stick with the other three for Mono god Warbands

Oh no. I never argued against making Khorne Warband, I too want to make the 8th Khornates Warband, because that's the Blood God holy number, I just argued against the idea of keeping "the balance" by creating another Khornate Warband later, it just not fun at all and there's no reason for it.

Oh yeah, that makes more sense. I agree, we make warband that are fun and very much memetic given in this quest, we will have fun for shit and giggles.
