then again, so do the Iron Warriors, their eternal arch enemies. this commonly results in trolling of incomprehensible proportions

Like the suicide attack on the Iron Warrior's impenetrable fortress which lead to the Iron Fists getting EVEN BETTER at siege warfare.
They're also badass because they smacked the Ultramarines and denied them their power to separate everything out into chapters. They only gave in because their primarch didn't want a second civil war.

the "ancient space dragons" are probably the C'Tan, who're now stored in fragmented pieces in energy crystals by the Necrons who rose against them ages ago. one of them just happens to be the Grim Reaper by the way, the very reason everyone (except the Orks) fears death after it majorly fucked shit up millions of years ago, and p. much one of the few things (besides Slaanesh) in existence that can make the Eldar scream their souls out in pure terror[/QUOTE]
Btw, regarding Slaanesh. I don't get what does make him a god of Chaos? He's all for pleasure, you know sex, drugs, all the jazz.
Compare him with Nurgle, a guy that makes plagues and diseases that fuck your shit and those loyal to him get turned into walking corpses ; Khorne, a guy that's for cutting everyone's heads off and all his subjects are crazy,batshit-insane killers ; and Tzeentch, a god that plans all kinds of evil stuff and his subjects either mutate to fucked-up monsters or are evil sorcerers that nobody likes. Compare that with Slaanesh, and he doesn't seem that evil. At least IMO as I don't know much about him.

Slaanesh is IIRC the newest of the chaos gods and was brought into life due to the Eldar being massive depraved perverts. So much that they gave birth to a chaos god that destroyed most of their once great civilisation. And chaos doesn't necessarily have to be evil, take nurgle for example. Sure you get turned into a horrible ball of pus and mucus but you also feel absolutely fantastic all the time in the loving embrace of papa nurgle.

There are limitless sensations beyond mere pleasure, so many indeed that pleasure will feel shit and boring once Slaneesh has shown you the way.
well the thing is that Slaanesh's specialty is in the most extreme kind of "pain and pleasure" territory; his/her/its followers pursue extreme sensations and are ready to do anything to get a better high. the worst cases have gone so far that their senses are dull to everything but the loudest sound (dunno how that works) and they become Noise Marines
slaaneshi heretics orgasm and scream for more when you shoot the bastards or inflict any kind of damage on them. think about that for a bit and you won't ask why he/she/it is a God of Chaos again

He's into ALL kinds of pleasure. The most deprived ones especially. His/Hers/Its followers are in a state of constant need for all kinds of sensations, and like addicts they will eventually get numb and seek a bigger or different dose.
So they may start from the regular stuff - orgies and drugs, go through extreme bdsm, but then they eventually end up doing the most fucked up shit like self-mutilation because that's the only thing that turns them on at that stage.
So he/she/it is evil because he/she/it traps you in in a life where you will always seek pleasure but never will be satisfied.
sounds like a regular saturday night
The Emperor's Children or the space marine chapter that turned to chaos and devoted themselves to Slaanesh got bored during the siege of terra and decided to instead walk across the planet raping literally everyone.

They literally went around forcing people to do drugs and stimulants, and raped anything which wasn't already mind-blown by drugs.
Direct quote from the wiki:
[quote][B]Flames of Rebellion[/B]
Over the next seven years that followed the massacre on Istvaan V, Horus' rebellion spread across the galaxy, consuming the entire Imperium in the flames of the horrific civil war known to history as the Horus Heresy. By the time the final Battle of Terra began, the Emperor's Children had become only shadows of their former glorious selves, wholly consumed by the desires of Slaanesh, with every trace of decency long lost. While the other Traitor Legions assaulted the Imperial Palace, the Emperor's Children instead launched themselves upon the innocent citizens of Terra, engaging in a mad orgy of rape, terror and mutilation that only barely began to satiate their all-consuming, Slaanesh-inspired hunger for hedonistic pleasure, pain and sensation. Billions of Terrans were used as human guinea pigs or raw materials in the Emperor's Childrens' constant desire to create ever more powerful stimulants, as daemonic hosts to bring Slaaneshi Daemonic Legions to the fight from the Warp or were simply slain outright to allow a Traitor Marine the fleeting enjoyment brought on by the sensation of brutal murder.[/quote]
So yeah, you gotta be pretty off your rocker to be snorting Imperial citizens when your buds are [I]besieging the Imperial Palace[/I]
also keep in mind that the other Chaos Gods are pretty tame in comparison to Slaanesh. Khorne is just a very psychotic warrior; he might really like killing things, but he only fights things that can fight back. Nurgle makes you shit out your lungs, but he loves you and treats you well. you might just be a pawn to Tzeentch and, sure, he might hideously mutate you for no reason or trap your mindless soul in a suit of power armor, but either way you're part of one grand plan that never actually leads up to any kind of result.
Slaanesh sends flying vaginas to screw you in the eyeball until grey matter and jizz run from you like a spigot, and then simultaneously eats and fucks the remains until you enjoy it. name any sick fetish you can think of, and Slaanesh has weaponized it with extreme effectiveness.
i mean, the other Gods at least have redeeming aspects - Khorne is entirely fair, Nurgle is loving, and Tzeentch is at least fairly harmless due to his plotting never leading up to anything. Slaanesh just does this horrific Event Horizon shit because it's fun, and wants you to find it fun too... by any means necessary. so yeah, i think i would have to say that Slaanesh is actually the worst Chaos God imho.

Which is why they're my favorite legion. They went from an ultra-disciplined, highly efficient, perfectionist fighting force into depraved thrill seekers and pleasure addicts. Also Noise Marines. That's awesome.
To be honest, most of the Chaos legions actually started sucking after they switched to Chaos. They literally get nothing done and when they succeed, it actually just pisses their gods of chaos off.
Really now, I'd like to read some of those incidents.

Yeah, but that's like 5 groups of chaos marines. Nurglites themselves are actually decent fighters. Its just the rest of the Chaos Marines are overplanning villians with nothing better to do then scream something about the false god.

I think it's just trying to be the baddest because it's the youngest god. Sibling rivalry and all that :v:
Warhammer 40K. I read the books and they basically were able to fill 2 pages of "Spacemarine brutally slashing apart an Orc"
It was among the most fun things I have ever read and I recommend them to anyone that wants to get into Warhammer.
Space Marines get far too much praise though, no love for the Imperial Army or the Adeptus Sororitas(although those made an appearance in the Battle for Hellsreach, darn that book was awesome). Black Templars are best, even had their symbol as Avatar here on Facepunch for some time.

That's kinda what I'm getting at, the Chaos Marines are just fucking useless.
Unless you are [url=http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Purge,_The]The Purge[/url].
Then you are just some overpowered grimdark motherfuckers that can kill off entire planets with the usage of chem-weapons that even certain warbands of Nurgle wouldn't touch.
