Every single machination has failed and inexorably led to this. Olthannon wrote: I'd prefer if the 40k setting was nobodies plan. Their minds and natures might still ultimately be alien, but on some level they're basically just farmers squabbling over who gets to plant what where and who has the right to eat the berries on the bushes in no man's land. When we see the gods squabbling (such as the Slaanesh vs Khorne events of Fall of Biel-Tan), we see that said squabbling has at least a bit of a reason behind it, even if that reason boils down to, "Bet I can stab mortals better than you." All of which suggests that the gods and their daemons (at least sometimes) possess motivations we can understand and are capable of formulating plans that utilize the basics of cause and effect as we understand them. because those things tend to result in the battlefields and thirst for pleasure/knowledge/power that fuels the gods.
I'm sure you're right about the gods wanting turmoil, confusion, etc. Slaanesh does things like toss a couple hive fleets together so that a bunch of eldar will die trying to stop one from absorbing the other (see: Valedor.) When the gods do appear to have coherent goals for their followers, it generally boils down to actions that will result in generating psychic energy of the sort that god wants to eat (see: Slaaneshi cults encouraging hedonism, Nurgle worshippers spreading plagues, etc.) As much as I like the idea of the chaos gods being truly unknowable, unguessable entities, that just doesn't seem to be the case.īasically, the chaos gods seem to be intelligent animals that eat certain types of psychic energy. Honestly, I think there's a lot of evidence that the chaos gods are more understandable than you're making them out to be. These are not creatures working toward goals we'd understand they are seeking a never ending turmoil.Įh. We've seen the Gods give support and withdraw it we've seen them fight each other to their own detriment. The Chaos Gods want turmoil, confusion, chaos. A plan suggests, order, structure, logic (as we understand it). Overread wrote: The Chaos Gods are Chaos nor order. Given that its only one Galaxy in a universe of galaxies within a mutiverse and that the Chaos Gods are likely more interested in the game rather than the victory - because then the game ends - its all such small scale that likely only a tiny part of the personality of a Chaos God ever really pays attention.
The gods' plans for after the Heresy might have been vague and were probably adversarial towards each other, but I do get the impression that the general state of the galaxy was brought about somewhat intentionally. It's pretty unlikely that you "accidentally" baked a pie, especially given that you did so during the small timeframe in which you had pie ingredients (the primarchs) in the house. It would be a heck of a coincidence if the events of the Horus Heresy just so happened to result in the galaxy being so "nutritious" for them too. All four gods marking Horus and also taking steps to turn various other traitor primarchs seems pretty planned-out. Since their whole MO is constant struggle. If you mean chaos as in the chaos gods? I dont really think they have a plan other then lol lets see what happens to screw this up.
