The big four were just the most powerful, what has happened to this? Everything I’ve read so far in AoS just makes it out to be the big four, GHR and nothing else. 1 Yeah, and that included Gods of Order too since Chaos comprises all that can exist. But that was dropped long before AoS. I don't think they had get out of their way to say other gods don't exist, but they have ignored it for decades.

Khorne is fury and bloodlust, but also martial prowess and honour. Tzeentch is deception and ambition, but also hope and change. Nurgle is disease and entropy, but also regrowth and nurturing. Slaanesh is excess and depravity, but also beauty and artistry. They're not good guys, but they're more like fundamental forces than villains. There's definitely some ambiguity in there. " 1 Alas, the grey aspects of the Ruinous Powers have been downplayed too as time has progressed. Guess it's easier to write a story if the hope of the heroes doesn't fuel the villain and if they are not fighting the embodiments of honour and beauty. Would be interesting to keep that take, thou.

Uther the unhinged Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 There is implicit recognition of some other chaos gods. The chaos dwarfs have Hashut. I have always imagined him as the embodiment of greed. As for his positive aspects..... well’greed is good’ right? Hashut as god of venture capitalism?
