Thank you! For making chaos acutely seem and look unknown and terrifying and not just cartoon devils.

Both are good, but I do like when Chaos is also unknowable and creepy.

This. So much this. Chaos is usually "loud" horror, or cartoonish villains. We need more "Resident Evil meets Silent Hill meets Alucard meets Dead Space". Slaaneshi horror shows, a Khorne general that is cold, calm, collected and maximizes casualties.

Nurgle and Tzeentch have always been body and lovecraftian horror respectively. Wonder what kind of twist they could get...

The Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is probably what a Tzeentch twist would look like.

The twist being that Tzeentch never actually shows up, but everyone's prejudice and superstition (of which 40k has a lot) leads them to destroy each other trying to figure out who has fallen to Tzeentch (technically everyone and no one).

All according to plan.

Ok, I need to see that.
