Day 14 aski g for Video about non chaos aligned warp entities and magic would be veryyyy cool

[@Reaper419Darkangel]

We get an actual description of Nurgle's appearance in the Age of Sigmar novel, Hallowed Knights Plague Garden: "Through the ragged shroud of smoke, Gardus saw what lay below the Inevitable Citadel, at the heart of Nurgle’s garden. Almost immediately, he closed his eyes and turned away, unable to bear it. It was impossible to describe. Impossible to comprehend. To his eyes, it was a wallowing swamp of black stars and dying worlds, of rotting galaxies alive with immense, writhing shapes as large as nebulas. Cosmic maggots, gnawing at the roots of infinity. Galactic plagues, eating away at the very flesh of existence, reducing all that was to leprous ruin in their unending hunger. It was a dark mirror of Azyr, corrupted, reduced, strangled. All glory vanished, all hope quashed. A thunder of screams echoed upwards, driving him back. A million million voices, raised up in anguish and despair. Forever crying out for that which would never come. Down below, something began to crawl out of the black heart of that cancerous infinity. It was no shape, and all shapes. Fat and thin, a plume of smoke, a puddle of oil, spreading ever upwards. There were eyes in the smoke, as round as cold, dead suns, and teeth that stretched in a grin as wide as the horizon. Fingers like comets clutched at the void, as the Lord of All Things stirred from his manse, and began the long, arduous climb to his garden. Moons crumbled beneath that impossible bulk, and stars were snuffed out."

[@krel3358]

I think Slaanesh should like like if you had a fap to trap porn, came and then instantly felt regret and disgust as the masculine angles and body type becomes revealed and you realized you just beat your meat to a mentally ill dude with boobs. Or you know beer goggles. I think what Slaanesh should represent in its form is how the lust of the perceiver gets in the way of accurately judging reality and suffering all the more for it in an ironic twist of fate. I think psychologically Slaanesh should torment its followers with a concept of im in too deep now in corruption while feeling regret and disgust for what they have done while not really being able to help themselves. Kind of like nurgle except with sex, drugs. and rock and roll.

I sort of figured the Chaos Gods "looked" like the Endless, where their appearance depends entirely on who is looking at them. So everyone sees something different.

[@DustinBarlow8P]

Now that is a great example! You are referring to the Endless movie right?

[@peters8512]

I agree with you. Majorkill starts the video by arguing against the idea that the Chaos gods have no physical form, but it just makes no sense to me that they are literally a big angry demon dude or rotting fat guy. The Warp is in no way like normal 3 dimensional space, so why would the gods have 3 dimensional forms? In the old Warhammer rule book from the 80s (yes, I'm that old) I seem to remember it explaining that daemons don't actually look how they are in the game, their appearance is largely determined by the expectations of the viewer. Humans are just incapable of grasping what these things "look" like, because our biology and minds are a product of our 3 dimensional universe. Stories about Khaine fighting Slaanesh or Skarbrand striking Khorne are I assume, always metaphorical, because that's the only way humans can comprehend an approximation of those events.

[@iepvienredstoneHuy007]

technically, yes! The chaos Gods doesn't have a tangible body inside their domain, which is opposite of realspace and made up of thought and emotion. They still have some characteristics that when even people who dont know about them look at them, they will still understand their concept and being Knorne - Violence, destruction and honnor: typical appear as obsidian knight that have death gaze, in fire/blood/skull as symbol of death Slaneesh - Emotion, debauchery, peace: wifu appearance and somewhat sexualize. This is the god that have most forms because he cover the largest range of mortal concept. Teeznet - Intelligent, change and hope: the most fuk up, undefinable due to his nature to alway change, so he will alway be unregconizeable for the viewer Nurgle - Nature, disease, stagnation and kindness: Big fat friendly nature cover dude that seem harmless and l;ike a loving father

A good source of info on what they look like are the very old chaos lorebooks "Slaves to darkness" and "The Lost and the Damned", seriously worth tracking down if you can find a copy of either. Tzeench was said to have his head sunken into his shoulders, with multiple faces appearing and vanishing all over his body, each one talking over the other, whispering secrets. And I think they said Khorne had the face of a great bestial hound?

That would be correct about Khorne, and Tzeentch... Also Zeen has been described as a vast multi-colored cloud of magic energy.

I have both books and most of what is discussed here is not correct but is correct in different ways. Tzneench looks different every time you see it. Slaneesh is just boobs everywhere.

Yeah, I always got Tzeentch vibes from interactions with Hermeus Mora, of Elder Scrolls fame, and could easily imagine the Changer of Ways just appearing as a mass of eyes, tentacles, and efflivia. As for the bird reference, I always imagined it started off as an Odin homage, since ravens are special to him, and symbols of wisdom, to some cultures. Then, because the Chaos God's are mostly evil, and often seek to cause destruction simply for the lols, it got switched over to the vulture/buzzard, because they scavenge, and pick out premium morsels, from the refuse left in the wake of inexorable time, and violence. If you ever play Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, they also follow a similar meme, since thar game's rendition of Wizzrobes take on a particularly vulture-like avian form, as the telrport around the room, hurling magic at our Hero. No other LoZ game does that; they usually just look "wizardy", but once they did. Khorne looking like a big, armored Hulk never really broke my immersion; it was the color of that armor that kind of did. If you look at his servants, they seem to often have a bronze/brass theme to them, and so it always surprises me that Khorne doesn't look more like a huge, monstrous, winged Talus, from Greek mythology. Obsidian armor is awesome, and if Khorne can make burs shatter off, and perforated hus foes, foe the audacity of striking him, all the better, but I thought part of why Abaddon chose black as his faction's color was because none of the God's had it, and so he could claim his stance between, but not beneath any of them. As fir Slaanesh, yeah, I'll always prefer murder-demon-waifu Slaanesh, but I accept that that's just my preference, and other people will have other ideas about "beauty", "seductive", or "excess", that would greatly alter hiw Slaanesh might appear. I like to think that, at least in some ways, they have a true form, butblittle say in how it appears; the souls that empower them are more deciding of this. It's sort of like Ares, in Wonder Woman. The God of War maybe should look like a beefcake Roman soldier, but in the time kf the World Wars, war was different. He is a general, and generals then looked like older men in suits, sending off faceless troops to for for their goals. As the Avatar of War, i believe how war had evolved caused that entity to change with it. Again, that's me, and maybe I am just trying to justify their choice in a way I like, but it works fir me, and the same could be true of our Chaos God's. Maybe how the universe perceives them becomes an aspect of their true form, even if they still have to layer illusion over their Lovecraftian reality to keep lesser souls from just losing it. Even the Emperor does something similar; we know that the glorious golden man of legend was, at least in part , a mental disguise, and at least some of his Sisters of Silence could see "just a regular man", instead of what we see in art. I imagine that that avatar of the Emperor appeared Primarch-size, but the skeleton on the Golden Throne doesn't seem nearly so massive.

[@iamalphariusperhaps]

The Emperor being "Just a regular man" is mostly just a metaphor for "I am not a God". He is actually clad in shining golden armor yes, but he can make his appearance change to his will.

[@AnthroTsuneon]

A curious question out of idle interest. What if the Imperium of Man 'won', what then? Robert Goilyman was prepping his astartes for it, but what if they exterminated all orks and made peace with eldar/tau or wiped them out, too, what if there's no longer any outside conflict. What if Chaos got pushed out of the picture. What would that war driven society look like without war, or at least universal war, since I imagine some planets will inevitably get uppity for independence

[@orrorsaness5942]

Simple, the truth about the missing 2 primarchs would come out, The Imperium would break apart into at least tens of thousands of pieces, just like in the vision Rogal Dorn saw, The Void Dragon returns, and The Necrons would shatter into thousands of political factions due to Malal.

[@orrorsaness5942]

Oh, and hundreds of quadrillions of people would die as a result of that.

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

The answer is as simple as human nature. Great unity is always followed by great division. Mankind will never want for enemies as long as they have each other to kick around.

[@MrRawrCEO]

Once the Emperor finished the Webway project (assuming Magnus didn't bonk it, or if Empy was able to fix it) then Mankind would have unprecedented prosperity due to instant supply lines. There'd likely be a period of shoring up infrastructure and changing things from a war economy to a more egalitarian (relatively speaking, Big E would still have things under his complete control but ordinary citizens would probably have a LOT more rights than they did even during 30k) society. Education would be a big deal, as the Emperor would strongly desire a reasoned populace both to further starve Chaos as well establish a Galaxy-wide cultural normalcy (basically everyone standardized ethics/morality and education levels). Once he felt comfortable enough he'd probably reign in Mars either diplomatically or via overwhelming force. He'd then organize expeditions into the center of Mars where all the rampant A.I.'s are and try to recover a fully intact STC. Afterwards mankind would likely start looking like it did in the Dark Age of Technology, and Empy would probably wipe out ALL xenos life except for MAYYYYBE certain craftworlds (Iyanden being the strongest contender for being spared since it doesn't fuck with the Imperium and is super anti-chaos) since the Craftworlds have skills Empy might find useful...but he also might kill them off period. Uncertain how he'd deal with the Harlequins and Cegorach/Black Library, but it might be easier on his part to just accept/partner with them and have them keep the Webway maintained while he fucks Chaos. Necrons would likely be purged piece by piece before they could wake up and become a threat. Astartes would inevitably be phased out/replaced with Primaris and utilized in the constant mini-crusades and purges...I don't THINK they'd get the Thunder Warrior treatment just cuz they're very stable in comparison whereas the Thunder Warriors were psychologically and physiologically unstable which was the whole point of getting rid of them. Inevitably the Emperor's long term plan was to guide humanity over time to become a fully psychic race...particularly a race of perpetuals like himself. Inevitably this means humanity would be able to dominate the Galaxy and the Warp. After this he'd probably notice the Tyranids in the other Galaxy and purge them with little to no effort given how advanced and powerful humanity would be at this point (as well as the fact that they could use their ENTIRE force against ONE FOE a luxury the current Imperium does not have in the slightest). After that not sure...we're headed into crazy advanced hard sci fi territory beyond that point and humanity might as well turn into literal gods that begin merging the Warp and Realspace and changing reality at a fundamental level on a whim.

I'm pretty sure that all mentions of physical contact between warp entities are just metaphors to help us understand what's going on without having to dedicate page after page to what it truly means to interact with something in the Warp. It IS called "The Immaterium", after all.

[@jacobwumbo827]

My favorite description of the chaos gods comes from, as you mentioned, Fabius Bile interacting with Slaanesh, more or less as close to its true form as one can. Given that he is an atheist and thinks the chaos gods are purely physical phenomena no more intelligent or conscious than gravity, it makes for a fun interaction. In third person but from Fabius’ perspective, Slaanesh is described as an infinite, cosmic “gaze” that has no real point of reference in reality. He looks up at the sky to see it, but it’s not really the sky, or space, because both have comprehensible forms. His highly genetically and technologically enhanced body starts going through total organ failure while he keeps saying you’re not real, like a child talking about the monster in their closet.

The description of Tzeentch reminds me of times I was tripping nutz on lsd or shrooms and looking at some of the really trippy black light reactive posters from Spencers. As I stared at em parts of it would grow and stream into other parts of itself while other parts are melting and shrinking and melding into itself. Definitely eye opening and brain expanding. Have you ever used any psychedelics Major? If not I would highly recommend trying some good shrooms. I'm Sure it woukd definitely give deeper perspective on not just everything around you and life itself, but also your work and the works of 40k in general. Before 40k I am a huge Tolkien fan, and when I first took LSD and re read LOTR over the next week, it was fucking amazing how much new and extra I picked up. And that was that. Been using a few times a year ever since....and more and more of the Matrix becomes visible every time

I'm in UK but I'll check out the sponsor (or similar). Really big congratulations on continuing to move your channel in a parabolic direction.

[@adventofknowledge]

I would actually argue that, for the most part, both slaanesh and Tzeentch would not have a cannon form per say because they are both agents of change, so tzeentch believes in ever shifting change directly and thus would change to fit the situation, where as slaanesh would change as a means to reach perfection which can be altered if the variables of perfection change as well.
