I thought there would be far less people voting for Malal... Well, then I know I'm not alone in this world.
I like Malice's fluff, but he couldn't get his "ass" through the 2nd edition line (not to mention the cannon line [which the Blood Ravens achieved i.e.]) so Khorne does not have to take him serious, as he could slay him with a half swing
I know lol, that's why I think it was refreshing haha Mngwa, just remember to love yourself. You Eldar are exceptionally good at this, and you supposed 'dark' kind have elevated it to an artform.
Malice does not exist. It's not even a sly nod anymore, GW no longer holds the copyright, therefore he has been retconned completely. Let it go, let it go.
Malal firstly isn't even canon, he's been long replaced with Malice after a legal issue, who, due to Malice being actually summoned into the Materium, means he isn't a Chaos God, just a glorified daemon of Chaos Unaligned. Objectively, Slaanesh and Nurgle are the best Chaos Gods as you stand the highest chance of surviving while in service to them. Tzeentch always backstabs his mortal cultists as his whim suits it (shit, he even backstabs his own greater daemons.) and Khorne's reliance on martial prowess leaves one rather open to assault by the enemy. If you're notable enough to gain resistance to psyker powers that's bloody fantastic, but it doesn't stop somebody from putting a lascannon shot right into your face from two kilometers away. Also, if the bodiless souls of the worshipers of Slaanesh experience a continued existence similar to the Eldar, it'd be heaven for them. Slaanesh re-wires your entire psychology to love pain as much as any pleasurable input into your mind, rending the eternity spent of endless soul-rape enjoyable. -sighs- No, Malal is no longer canon. Malal was wiped clean from all GW material after his creator packed up and left, and ended up taking Malal with him due to owning his copyright. However, GW being the cheap bastards they are, ended up creating Malive, although he's featured very little and not even close to the Chaos Gods. Probably similar to Be'lakor in power come to think of it.
Neither Malice nor Malal exist. Sons of Malice is about the closest oblique reference you get nowadays, but they don't talk about it because well, he no longer truly exists. Go on, check Games Workshop's copyright information, you wont find anything because it's impossible to copyright a common word. Maybe one day we'll see some sort of revival (under another name), but I doubt it.
Nah you made a few simple mistakes. It does not matter where "some regular dude" would survive long, it is about the situation of the Cultist which brings him to decide for a Chaosgod (not every Chaos Worthshipper is a Chaos Space Marine, keep that in mind) 1. Nurgle worthshippers i.e. are in a hopless state, often surrounded by death and deseases. However not everyone who worthships Nurgle will be cured or saved, neither will they become that unkillable beasts that the Death Guard are. It also happens that some Cultists just die by Nurgles gifts. 2. Slaanesh... *sight* the probably most missunderstood Chaosgod. Slaanesh is neiter only about sex nor only about "pleasure in pain". It is about lust, ecstasies and pleasure in general. A good example here is the nove "Fulgrim" where the humans started a gigant sexorgy, while the Astartes started a blood orgy, killing everything and everyone (because Astartes do have little interest in sex and the humans had litlle interest in pain) However I would say the best comparison for Slaaneshcults are the Satanic cults and well, your body may survives that, but your minds gets shattered. And you still can die by pain, even if you like it. (and your soul maybe gets features with slaanesh, but every Codex states that you will have a really, really bad time if you die and not reached daemonhood) 3. Tzeentch: Who would want to worthship Tzeentch? Politicians and Scientists (knowledge and stuff) also "Sorcerers". Yeah you probably get backstabbed, but I think that with Tzeentch everything Backfires in about the ammount of the gifts. (i.e. you become the Govenor of a Planet, but noone died, you will probably loose you position due to bad news/ if someone or many died, you will probably die in a complot aswell) This is but my interpretation, because why should tzeentch waste time on a "boring plaything cultist politican" if he can play around with the Sorcerer Daemon combination? (Which he could combine to bring the whole planet down [just as planned]) 4. Khorne. Yes yes, the retarded idiots who just want to kill. Khorne is not stupid, neither are his followers. Cultural example: Vikings and other Nordic, Celtic and Germanic cultures had a social system which was set around fighting (not allways primarily , but nearly everyone knew how to kill and enemie) However we all know out of history that none of them were dumb and that they had superior tactical thinking, they stood against the ancient rome! So I would say, Khorne followers fight, often to the death, yes and yes alot will die, but if you think further in a rebellion i.e. there will die a lot of people (history again) and if the weak die on the battlefield or in some sort of fighting ritual, it makes little difference. However, getting shot by a lascannon at 2 km distance? Not a single person would stand in open fields. Khorne followers will allways be the best fighters and the leaders will allways have a superior understanding of tactics and will lead his force around such dumb things. Well just my two cents, hope it wasn't too long
