Its silly but also cool how he pronounced them.

[@thescribeinyellow3985]

I have to say, as far as Chaos Lords go, I like Eliphas much better than the others (especially Carron, who sounded like he was trying too hard). Aside from the cool helmet, he just seems much more 'sane', as in able to clearly lead, whereas the others really do sound stark raving mad in comparison and you wonder how they got their right to lead.

[@twiliblade]

look at kharn, age doesn't calm chaos marines down necessarily

[@jaredkronk4614]

Also the Word Bearers are by far the most organized legion their devotion to chaos ironically keeps them in order.

[@Korraganitar]

StankGangsta well, they are very well organised, but most? Alpha Legion (Carron is a world eater disguised as alpha legion by actual alpha legion for a distraction) are very disciplined, to the point that they are infiltrated more or less everywhere. Also, Iron Warriors are still a mostly united legion, obeying their primarch.

[@infidelheretic923]

He’s called ‘the inheritor’ because he was never officially granted the rank of apostle. He merely took command after killing the previous one. His fellow word bearers haven’t let him forget this.

[@alex20na]

@@Korraganitar I know your comment is 2 years old, however, the Iron Warriors are anything but united...look at the civil war that erupted in their legion. The only legions that are united are : 1. Word Bearers. 2. Black Legion 3. Death Guard About Alpha Legion we don't know how divided it is, I mean there are Alpha Legion warbands, but I don't recall fighting among themselves...plus...they are VERY SECRETIVE...so I wouldn't be surprised if the warbands work together most of the times.

My boy Eliphas has earned the favor of his primarch Lorgar, warmaster Abaddon, and all four dark gods on one single planet. What a career!

[@marley7868]

[@TerrorBlades]

It would probably be cooler to hear this with the voice and point of view of the Lords of the individual factions.

[@girlgarde]

Hey yeah, that WOULD kick ass to hear. I can imagine Eliphas gloating over the defeat of each of his enemies as he explained his victories over them and why he's fighting on Kronus.

[@bossshun9]

You gotta hand it to the army of Chaos. Each of their victories brought forth either power for Eliphas or enhances the Chaos Gods. Not to mention, you can just see the power of chaos warp power used against ork warp power in so many different ways. Oh well, another time.

[@Damocles178]

5:28 Interesting foreshadowing. Sure the Word Bearers victory on Kronus wasn't canonical but it's interesting that Abaddon had an interest in the Blood Ravens long before their Chapter Master was openly corrupt. Kyras was already corrupted by Ulkair at this point but no one in the Blood Ravens knew. However I wouldn't be surprised if Abaddon's Cabal of Sorcerors were able to foresee what Kyras would later try to do. Perhaps that's why Abaddon was pleased.

Some lore indicates that Nurgle's power depends on how much of the galaxy is infected with his plagues. During great plagues and outbreaks that infect hundreds of thousands of worlds, he can temporarily grow stronger than all the other gods.

[@DaveTheAtheist]

Read Storm of Iron - Honsou is one of the main characters. He's also in 'Dead Sky, Black Sun' and 'The Chapter's Due' of the Uriel Ventris series. I can't remember for certain what book the corrupted hive ship is mentioned in but I think it's Storm of Iron.

[@woodwyrm]

the ship in question was corrupted some time before Honsou was made a part of the Iron Warriors and currently serves as transport for what remains of Legio Mortis ;)

Yes. Necron Pylons are supposed to supress, and if properly used and with good timing, push back the Warp. The God-Emperor of Mankind, The Emperor Protects! His hand on my shoulder!, also is claimed to have this power but the mechanations of his power are unknown to be as well as that of the Pylons.

[@Sangheilitat117]

The greatest threat to the Imperium is Chaos, and the greatest threat to Chaos are the Tyranids. The main advantage they have is that the Shadow blocks out all but the strongest daemonic will. Yet the thing no one seems to understand is that the greatest threat to every living thing in the galaxy is the Necron. Chaos and Tyranids and Chaos included.

[@outlawstar15a2]

Which is disproven by the fact that each Hive Fleet has it's own Hive Mind. The banished C'Tan theory is a Imperial belief in a vain attempt to find a all powerful singular being controlling the Tyranids, it does not exist the Tyranids are controlled by a Hive Mind composed of the minds of each individual Tyranid in a fleet and each Fleet has it's own.

[@kolsveinnskraevolding]

LORD STEVE BLUM THE INHERITOR!

[@christiandauz3742]

It is clear that the Blood Ravens were made using Space Marines and gene-seed from multiple legions: Thousand Sons- Explains the large number of psykers Black Legion- Explains Abaddon's hate of them Dark Angels- Explains their secretive nature

[@christiandauz3742]

BlackDeathViral03 During the Horus Heresy. Loyalist Luna Wolves must have used their storage of gene-seed. Same with the Thousand Sons. Those that were not in Prospero stayed loyal to the Emperor

[@BaronPraxis8492]

...why would gene-seed from the Black Legion (as opposed to Luna Wolves or Sons of Horus gene-seed), the one Abbadon is in charge of, have to be there to explain Failbaddons hatred of them when he hates the entirety of the Imperium? And why would they need Dark Angels gene-seed just to be secretive?

[@christiandauz3742]

BaronPraxis8492 Dark Angels is the least likely. However, if the Blood Ravens use the gene-seed from the loyalist Luna Wolves it explains why Abaddon hates them so much. Keep in mind that they are not the first loyalist chapter using traitor gene-seed, the Red Scorpions are descended from Fulgrim.

[@BaronPraxis8492]

***** I haven't played DoW 2 so I might be missing something. Does Abbadon hate the Blood Ravens more than the rest of the Imperium?

[@SonicjackX]

BaronPraxis8492 Its an ancient story, Bruva, you see, Ezekyle abaddon captured a farseer, and, in her dying breath the farseer told FAILBADDON of a prophecy an *_ANCIENT PROPHECY_* about a man so *_BAHLD_* and so *_FOOLISH_* he would blow up the whole galaxy, his name was *_INDRICK BOREALE_*

[@TheRoflcer]

I think the Chaos victory is the worst blow dealt to the Orks. Imagine being Gorgutz, being on Lorn V, in a four way battle with your weaker troops, the Chaos Marines, Eldar and Imperium, participating in a glorious battle which ultimately ends with the massacre of millions including the defeat of Chaos and it's leaders, their skulls all being yours, though at a price you lost more scrap then going into it and have to spend some time getting it back again. Now come to Kronus, you get into another tussle with the Chaos boys, and not only do they forfeit more scrap from you forcing you to start again from basically nothing to rebuild your Waaagh, but to add insult to injury they take Crulls skull from you, taking away your trophy while also erasing anyone who could cooberate your story in your glorious name.

[@DaveTheAtheist]

There's a 'Games Workshop' mod for DoW 1 - it severely restricts the amount of units a faction can deploy at once (tabletop-style points values) but it dramatically increases the variety of units for each faction. Chaos players can decide to align their faction with 1 of the 4 gods or play as Undivided. Each god-specific alignment gives the player access to different powerful abilities (probably found in the Chaos Codex) and Undivided gives access to a handful of each god-specific upgrades.

[@bigslurpee2078]

@@bigslurpee2078 There was a Firestorm Over Kronus mod, I think.

[@ShadowAimai]

I don't understand. Why did Tzeentch like the destruction of the Necrons? I understand that the Necrons represent a form or Order in the galaxy in the shape of stillness and unmoving stillness, but was that enough?

[@Morevalor]

I think it is because the necrons could (if they conquered the galaxy) be able to close of the warp from te material universe forever, wich would make sorcery impossible in the material universe.

[@Am0nknight1234]

Also, the Necrons (pre-retcon) aim to exterminate all life in the universe. The Warp is fuelled by the emotions and actions of most sentient beings. So if all life is annihilated then the Warp is effectively bled dry and the Ruinous Powers will cease to exist.

[@Am0nknight1234]

And for Tzeentch specifically: Tzeentch is the known as the Lord of Change. Knowledge, revolution, change, evolution, all these concepts are the antithesis of stagnation (which is Nurgle's area). The Necrons literally embody stagnation. They are soulless automatons who serve one of the greatest threats to the Chaos Gods, the C'tan. They do not plot, they do not evolve, they do not think for themselves (again, only with pre-retcon Necrons). Everything they are and represent is essentially a major step out of Tzeentch's comfort zone.

[@Tarik360]

Because everything went *Just* *As* *Planned.*

[@Am0nknight1234]

You're right with the Necrons being better described as the embodiment of oblivion rather than stagnation. I should have re-read my post lol

[@outlawstar15a2]

"Do you hear the voices to?"

[@christiandauz3742]

And fleeing FROM CTHULLU as the only reason their attacking is because they ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM SOMETHING! HOW COULD THE SECOND MOST TERRIFYING FACTION BE SCARED SHITLESS ABOUT SOMETHING!?!

[@outlawstar15a2]

Ok, for the of the Warp. No need to get your bolter in a knot. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@outlawstar15a2]

There is also the theory that Tzeentch himself controls the Warp as well. Even though this is off topic one theory suggests he is the only thing keeping the Warp from overflowing into our universe in a bare instant. The theory goes on to say that he is aware of thew symbiotic relationship between the creatures of both universes and that if Chaos had its way in our universe then it would spell the doom of Chaos as well as they would have no sentient psychic emotions to feed off of.

[@69Bluntsmoka420]

Abbaddon is but a pale shadow of Horus. If he had any talent at prioritization, he would realize that the Tyranids pose a grave threat to Chaos Undivided. If they were to consume all of the galaxy, the gods would be badly weakened, not only due to the consumption of their cultists, but from the emotions generated by the countless individuals of all species in the galaxy. It is therefore in Chaos's best interests to keep the hive creatures in check.

[@MrOmegaprime]

Although it is also speculated that the hive mind is actually a banished C'tan god.

[@girlgarde]

Because the Tau have likely said that the Chaos Gods aren't the supreme beings of the universe. Basically, when someone says that one's belief are false, that can be regarded as heretical by whoever's beliefs are being questioned.

[@Sigmundfries]

The Eldar after action report alone is what keeps me from playing Chaos in Dark Crusade. Feeding thousands of souls to Slaanesh is just too evil for me.

[@WitcherCrow]

@dragonstormx Alongside the Necrons and their C'tan masters being the most ancient enemies of Chaos , The destruction of the Necron Anti-Chaos artifacts and technology would please Tzeentch since one of the Necrons goals is to contain and isolate the warp , and that would hinder Tzeentch ''Great Plan''.

[@benrevell349]

question to everyone on here, does anyone know where the written versions for these after action reports for both dark crusade and soulstorm games???

[@dragonstormx]

@WitcherCrow Since the C'tan plan to seal off the warp, wouldn't that make defeating the Necrons equally pleasing to all four gods?

[@outlawstar15a2]

Well in Soulstorm I think it mentions Taldeer was captured by the IG. I think in one of the Eldar epilogues.

[@girlgarde]

Actually, Taldeer was captured by the Blood Ravens as Kyras in DOW II Retribution says that he has Taldeer's soul stone and the Eldar fight to reclaim it and bring Taldeer's soul home.

[@Wildcat425B]

@Jpipooly Because Khorne IS the best. He gets stronger with each little act of violence and blood shed. That and he has a neat little trick that negates Tzeentch's psykers. I think. And Nurgle, while awesome, can only match Khorne when his power is waxing.

[@BigRed40TECH]

He comes back in Soulstorm, but its lackluster. Different Voice Actor, and less character. The games really rushed -.-

[@outlawstar15a2]

[@Wildcat425B]

@Jpipooly Its probably because Khorne is kind of fun. His war cry is definitly the most entertaining to hear. But I can see how youre getting tired of him, he's juist the easiest Chaos God to use, Tzeentch is overly complicated, Nurgle is rather simple, and dont get me started on the issues Relic has to deal with with Slaanesh.

[@dragonstormx]

Anybody have any idea to why defeating the Necrons would be especially pleasing to Tzeetch?

[@hectoraliegbe9429]

While Necron technology in general is effective at neutralizing the powers of the Warp, Tzeentch and his followers are the most vulnerable as they heavily use Psykers in their schemes.

[@superspies32]

They nearly close the Eye or Terror with their pylons, its enough

[@timeywimeytardis]

I'm normally a true servant of the emporer (make sign of the Aquila here) but if i had to worship 1 chaos god i would choose Tzeentch. because if you read up on him, he is made out of hope. so he is just using different methods to achieve the same goals as the imperium. Also, who wouldn't want to be able to make people into mutants and fry peoples minds with lightning.

[@gohtutnobz]

DUH! it is the SPACE MARINES of the BLOOD RAVENS chapter

[@outlawstar15a2]

I have my own more in depth view of what the Word Bearers did to each defeated enemy. Anybody want to hear it?

[@Rhysman30]

What the Chaos Gods hate, is that when a necron kills someone, that persons soul is consumed by C'Tan the necron follows, and does not go to the warp. Which is devastating to them, for they cannot gain strength from the "Sacrifices" and their servants are utterly gone. That is the backbone of Chaos power, when a warrior dies, they are reincarnated in the warp, ready for more.

[@girlgarde]

@Hazardearth Luckily for everyone else, Chaos, the Necrons and the Tyranids all hate each other and want to wipe one another out since their goals clash with one another. If Chaos wins, the Necrons won't get to sacrifice anything for the C'tan and the Tyranids will get their asses kicked. If the Necrons win, Chaos won't be able to corrupt anything and gain tributes while the Tyranids won't get to devour anything. If the Tyranids win, neither Chaos or the Necrons will have anything to kill.

[@Sneraptor]

[@outlawstar15a2]

I thought it was Khorne Then Nurgle since disease and rot is second most prevalent in the Galaxy due to the constant warring. Then Slaanesh because raw desire supersedes complex and convoluted scheming. Then Tzeentch. I thought that was the order since Nurgle is the most directly involved in mortal affairs.
