Tzeentch the god of change

finally my absolute favourite god in my four "i wanna talk about Chaos" posts

Tzeentch is a rat bastard, he is the cruelest god in the Warhammer world and the most vindictive, petty and capricious of the gods. the reason most fall to Tzeentch is because they so desperately want to claw their way up from the lowest wrung of society.

Why i love him however is because of the sorcery aspect of his portfolio. Tzeentch is change and what is magic and sorcery if not the manifestation and will to change even the fundamental rules of the universe. I love him because everything he does he does it for the love of the game, he will set up a champion and simultaneously set up the one to tear that champion down, he willingly gave up power to dominate The Great Game of the chaos gods because he simply understood that the game itself was the joy.

Colm nails the gods in all four of his vids but i love this one the most so its going first.

Khorne, like all the chaos gods, doesn't just drag you in to the warp with blood, skulls, murder and sacrificing babies.

It starts small, the person that pushed you down? Get mad, hit them back! Khorne doesnt offer you anything that you don't already have which is what makes Khorne unique out of the four. Khorne offers you the chance to become stronger, to fight harder. He offers you reward for proving yourself, he incites your rage, pushes you to further acts of violence and that's what makes those under him so very terrifying. Everything a Khorne worshipper does, they do it willingly, everything they become is earned through bloodshed before they get their rewards.

The first lines of this really set the tone for this. Nurgle is not the God of disease he is the god of Decay it just so happens that decay contains disease. Nurgle's followers often start as doctors, biologists and scientists or they start as the downtrodden. Nurgle is not cruel, Nurgle is one of the only gods in Warhammer that actually loves his people unconditionally. If you live in the gutters of the world, already in pain, stricken with disease and disability Nurgle tells you that you are blessed.

To my fellows with disabilities, imagine a cult comes along and tells you they can't cure you but they can take the pain away. your chronic pain is gone, your mental health issues fade, your body grows new limbs where old had been removed. You can see how appealing Nurgle can be for the downtrodden. The price? well you get boils, poxes, growths all across you. They never hurt you though, in fact, you feel joy, this is proof Grandfather loves you!

my third post in my "I want to talk about the Chaos Gods" Posts

Many warhammer fans think they'd be a big strong Khorne Beserker or hyper intelligent Warp Sorcerer of Tzeentch when realistically most of us would fall flatly into Slaanesh's domain. This is because of what Slaanesh really is

Slaanesh is all about Excess, not beauty, not drugs and sex, Excess. Slaanesh is the fifth cup of wine, Slaanesh is that lazy day you spend in bed, Slaanesh is that delicious sweet treat you have for the third time today. It can be sex, drugs and rock and roll but only when its gone past the point of being enough.

Imagine if you will you have prime steak, Slaanesh asks 'how about i let you eat prime rib eye steak every single day?' and every day you have this prime rib eye steak in every combination of flavours and wines and sides. you begin getting tired of it so Slaanesh says 'here try this rare animal steak, how about that every day instead?' so you begin eating rare and exotic animals, some the last of their kind but after a time the pleasure dulls and Slaanesh asks, 'well there's one more meat you have yet to try, why not try human?'
