Question: If chaos is just the combined manifestation of the subconcious of all soul possessing beings, why is chaos trying to kill everything? Wouldn't killing all soul beings cause chaos to cease to exist?
khorne and nurgle kill everything since one represents the cycle of life and death while khorne represents conflict, Tzeetch is killing things becasue he wants the emperor to die and become a chaos god and slanish represents pleasure and pain, the fifth and oldest chaos god malus wants to kill the imperium because they atarted it and the other chaos gods for stealing his parking space
and they are in a big kerfuffle with the other races because they want subservience and to be their religion while they ahave their own gods (eldar have eldar gods that exist but most were eaten by the birth of slaneesh, necerons have their c'tan, metal gods they made out of living gas parasite, and the tau have their greater good, but because of their relatively new empire and size it has yet to have manifested)
S'cuse me, but who da zog do you fink you are? "Most powaful fo'ce in da Univarse"? Tell me den, how many ancient racez 'ave da nids killed? Cauze da boyz took care of two of 'em and dey waz both consida'd gods at da time.
*clears throat* OK, writing that way was kind of painful. Still, Imma have to call ******** on that. The nidz are a singular, well-organized entity and yet they still do less damage than the orks do. The orks, which spend 99% of their time fighting eachother. If the greenskins got their **** together and were united under a single great WAAAGH!!! they'd be absolutely unstoppable. And don't get me started on their psychic powers. A couple thousand orks agreeing on something are able to distort the fabric of reality and make impossible **** possible. Imagine if all of them, the trillions, upon trillions, agreed on something. They'd tear the fabric of reality a new asshole. They could make the eye of terror blink in surprise. They could literally retcon the tyranids, because they believe tyranids don't exist.
All it would take for the orks to destory the universe is for them to get their **** together for 5 seconds. That seems a lot more dangerous than a bunch of oversized cockroaches.
Well, I mean the Tyranids have likely consumed entire galaxies before. And the Hive Fleets we've seen invade the Milky Way are likely just the vanguard of a force several magnitudes larger.
Both of those are assumptions. I don't deal in assumptions, I deal in facts and the fact of the matter is that the orks absolutely destroyed the C'tan and old ones, are a bitch and a half to deal with when infesting human planets and go into the warp to fight demons for fun.
Fair point, though if Horus hadn't thrown a bitch fit, pretty much every race other than the humans would be extinct. Well, except maybe the dark eldar. SOMEONE has to supply the imperium with drugs and hookers.
Yeah, all that Warp Energy that ceases to exist because Shadow in the Warp makes Demons literally fade out of existence, if the Fall of ShadowBrink is anything to go by. Meanwhile, your loyalists and heretics alike taste equally delicious, and with every one we eat, thats one less soul to sustain your precious Warp.
So I know literally nothing about Warhammer, but have always been interested in learning all of the lore. Where would I start and what order should I go in?
