[J.Dogg]

I put this post 'ere cuz I thought it had sumthin' to do with GW.
To the topic: I think there is 8 chaos gods in the WH universe...
1: khorne
2: Tzeentch
3: Nurgle
4: Slaanesh
5: Taalos
6: The Starchild (Emperor)
7: Gork
8: mork
I think there is 8 cuz there is 8 arrows on the chaos undivided mark.....
Discuss!

Gork? Mork? Never heard of them.

[feebianac]

Gork and Mork are the Orks gods. I haven't heard of Taalos before though

[mumbo12]

Never heard of Taalos either. Don't forget Malal!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malal

There's also the Eldar's Laughing God who lives in the webway.

And lets not forget Zuvassin and Necoho. There is also mentioned that there is a ton of other chaos gods, though they are far weaker then the 4 main ones and remains un-named.

Uh... did everyone forget:
Deathbringer?
Deceiver?
Dragon? (aka Omnissiah)

[feebianac]

Well those are all gods, but CHAOS gods, I don't know.

[mumbo12]

The C'tan aren't the same kind of "gods". They were created by the Necrontyr channeling giant energy beings into living metal bodies. The numerous warp gods are reflections of the thoughts and emotions of races in the material realm.

Deathbringer? Dun ya mean Nightbringer? And as said its chaos gods here not C'tan and if we are to mention them, then you missed The Outsider.

Heh...the Void Dragon (the most powerful of the C'tan) is asleep on Mars.....bad news for the Imperium if he ever wakes up.....Also....someone once told me that the eldar Laughing god was the Deceiver...?...That can't be true can it?...(I Have no clue).....Those guys are not chaos gods though...Gork and Mork being chaos gods...? weird...

if it's limited to Chaos Gods, then why is the Emperor listed?

and Gork and Mork? they aren't chaos at all.

[mumbo12]

I really doubt the Laughing God is the Deceiver. One could probably pretend to be the other but I don't think the deceiver could trick the Harlequins. They control the Black Library, the greatest repository of information in the 40K world. (A good joke around here is that they have the rulebook and all the codexes in there.)


EDIT: The Emperor thing is mostly speculative based on some really deeply buried hints in the fluff. Gork and Mork are the Ork gods and as real to them as Khorne is to Kharn. They'd just qualify as chaos by being "warp gods".

The Emperor him self was not chaos. However when he is reborn it will be as the Starchild, who is the chaos god of love and kindness.

Wrap your head around that one.

New god list:
khorne
slaanesh
Tzeentch
Nurgle
Taalos
Starchild
Malal
Unknown(X)
Taalos is The "undivided god" there was a person who created all the chaos gods, GW bought the right to use them, but the creator didn't want them to use his first, or fifth god, named Taalos.
He is supposedly the god of war.

[yoritomo]

Sorry to say this, but I have never heard of Taalos. I'm pretty sure that the chaos undivided do not have a god. That would kind of defeat the "undivided" aspect if they worshiped a single god. Khorn is the god of war.

Here is the list of chaos gods (along with where they can be found):

Khorn (Codex: Chaos, Army Book: Chaos)
Slaanesh (Codex: Chaos, Army Book: Chaos)
Tzeentch (Codex: Chaos, Army Book: Chaos)
Nurgle (Codex: Chaos, Army Book: Chaos)
Malal (Warhammer, Warhammer 40K *copyright revoked*)
Necoho (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying)
Zuvassin (The Enemy Within campain)
