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.

[@superfrycook6360]

Captain Thule: I have grown practiced... At killing you... Eliphas. Eliphas: Death is but the beginning, Thule. As you will mark when your soul belongs to Chaos!

[@bludrahven9781]

I just love how the WB can go Full Imperium by calling the Tau "heretics" and "infidels"

[@Hiperforteca]

Actually, tau are infidels from the chaos' point of wiev, since they don't believe in gods.

[@krism.6598]

Well, Lorgar wrote the book that became the basis for the Imperial Cult of the God Emperor, so the Word Bearers we’re doing it before it was cool.

[@heathenpride7931]

BLUD RAHVEN Okay old as fuck comment but I have to say: it’s important to realize that they are still human and therefore have all the bigotry that humans do in Warhammer. Deciding to worship the dark powers doesn’t suddenly make you tolerant.

[@darulezlulez2625]

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]

to be fair that planet was even by 40k standards a complete clusterf*ck

[@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.

[@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.

[@REgamesplayer]

Word bearers are most spiritual chapter out of all and thus they can sense corruption of a soul the moment it takes root.

[@Archon3960]

@@REgamesplayer Indeed. Look at what they did with Horus... :)

[@cursedhawkins1305]

I wouldn't call it "foreshadowing" as there's still no information as to WHY Abaddon has this hatred for the Blood Ravens, not even the wiki page and lexicanum for him has no information as to why this hatred exists, its just there.

[@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.

[@iwannagetphsyco]

@darkness007666 to be specific, the blood ravens were once thousand sons but remained loyal and the emporer made everyone who knew to keep it a secret so as to keep the inquisitors and other forces from hunting and hummiliating the chapter.

[@girlgarde]

Actually, Crull did have that Chaos Sorceror as his advisor so he DID have the potential to win so I stand corrected.

[@outlawstar15a2]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@BigRed40TECH]

Most powerful is Khorne Followed by Tzeentch Followed by Nurgle Followed by Slaanesh.

[@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.

[@Hydra000001]

Admittedly Chaos does use Tyranids and Necrons to their own ends at times.

[@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_*

[@BigDickCheney]

Leader of the Black Legion Chaos Space Marines and Warmaster of Chaos.

[@BigDickCheney]

Its in the vid description.

[@girlgarde]

I just played the Soulstorm demo and the foes of the Dark Eldar are the Blood Ravens but that doesn't mean that the Ravens will be in the actual game. They should try out the Space Wolves in my opinion.

[@Yeeksquilack]

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.

[@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!?!

[@GAF1987]

[@outlawstar15a2]

"Do you hear the voices to?"

[@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.

[@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???

[@Sneraptor]

OMNOMNOM!

[@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.

[@diablolordboss]

Chaos is our master

[@MrOmegaprime]

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

[@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]

What's it called?

[@krakaneti]

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

[@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.

[@diablolordboss]

Where i can download the symbol of chaos from this flag in this video?

[@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]

No problem. I am the Emperor's humble servant, it is my charge to assist my Human brother.

[@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''.

[@outlawstar15a2]

When life gives you lemons.... BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

[@Matihood1]

So what is this symbol on the banner? It's not of the Word Bearers iirc.

[@diablolordboss]

what is the name of the music in this video?

[@69Bluntsmoka420]

Fuck yeah, Eliphas is back in the upcoming Dawn of War 2 expansion. He rolls with the Black Legion now instead of the Word Bearers for some reason, but he's all "tell Captain Thule his old friend Eliphas is anxious to see him." Ownage.

[@girlgarde]

Personally, I enjoyed playing as Chaos and seeing all of these endings. I especially like how they used a warped version of Imperial propaganda and called the Tau a bunch of infidels. I too hope that they bring back Eliphas in "Soulstorm".

[@edwardfrench9368]

Ooooooh, honey...

[@TheKoolass]

with that logic i don't know which of the two evils is well, more evil

[@outlawstar15a2]

That was retconned. Tzeentch is the God of Hope now.

[@manadrinker]

Much can be tainted by chaos.

[@ShadowKnight275]

I dont think its a C'tan god....and where are you getting this? I get most of my info from things like codexes :D

[@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]

[@outlawstar15a2]

Let's do Eldar first, LAWLZ!! Eldar: When Eliphas defeated the forces of Farseer Taldeer he felt a overwhelming urge to please the will of Slaanesh. It was not enough to destroy the Eldar Soul Stones Eliphas also took it upon himself to gain extreme pleasure from the Eldar women! Ripping their spandex off he brutally showed them the hard power of Chaos ever thirsty for more he soon turned on the already dead corpses it wasn't long before his men joined in on this despicable act.

[@girlgarde]

I can easily see Eliphas and his men engaging in necrophilia with the corpses of the female Eldar that they killed and then keeping their bodies as love dolls knowing how depraved they can be. That would undoubtedly please Slaanesh since he/she is into extreme and perverse acts of sexual pleasure.

[@jadtayara1805]

It may be possible that the Tyranids are under the command of a C'tan called The Outsider. So he is the Hive Mind and God of the Necrons.

[@Yeeksquilack]

Alpha Legion is the Chaos legion featured in Soulstorm. They're less devoted to the chaos gods than the Word Bearers, but still hate the Imperium. Hopefully we'll get another badass like Eliphas, not some loser like Crull or Bale.

[@Peptuck]

You forgot that he is also the Lord of Failure. Maybe on the 14th Black Crusade he'll actually get outside the Eye of Terror!

[@xzzyyy4686]

[@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.
