HOW IN THE FLYING FUCK HAVE THEY NOT KILLED EACH OTHER YET?
I mean, if the Emperor's soul is in the Warp, shouldn't Khorne/Slaanesh/Nurgle/Tzeentch be able to destroy him and break the Imperium? Or are they just too busy trying to dick each other over to think of that?
Are Gork and Mork just too busy smacking each other/the Hivemind around to curbstomp the other gods?
Fantasy's Warpfuckery need not apply.

Why would they want to break their favourite toy
Also, your picture is both inacurate as well as out of date
Maybe they have some sort of "understand" since if they're fighting each other they've got less time to devote to collecting skulls/skullfucking/etc.
>Also, your picture is both inacurate as well as out of date
OP here.
Its the best one I could find on hand that fit the topic.
As for 'their favorite toy', last I heard the God-Emperor's existence terrifies the Big Four (although that may have to do with him essentially stealing power from all four of them waaaay back in the day. Or something. The Warp's connection with real time is like the Whovian 'timey wimey wibbly wobbily' craziness on steroid-infused crackWhich is probably Doomrider's latenight snack.

I understand it as this: they can't directly harm each other since they are essentially sentient collections of psychic energy, but they can conspire to weaken each other by targeting the followers that give them power.
They're fighting all the time, but the scope of their battles are so massive that few take notice.
YOO MICKS STUP MORK N' GORK YA GIT!
The Chaos Gods REALLY are just focused on their "Great Game" (read: 1 of them conquering all four 'Realms of Chaos' plus the rest of the Warp). They don't consider the other gods such as Gork and Mork "a threat" because they're the "supreme beings of the Warp n' shit" which is just straight-up Chaoswankery in the lore and pretty your mileage may vary on how true it actually is.
The two Ork gods? Eh, they're probably somewhere out in the Formless Wastes pummeling the giant punching bag Khorne stuffed Malal/Malice in and gave to them to use... or something Orky like that. Last I heard they were playing 'point Ghazzy in this direction and watch the carnage unfold', but that's pre-8th edition, so... who knows what they're up to these days...
>they can't directly harm each other since they are essentially sentient collections of psychic energy, but they can conspire to weaken each other by targeting the followers that give them power.
Then explain what happened to the Eldar Gods, since Slaanesh pretty much slaughtered the entire pantheon (and Khaine got shattered when Khorne used him as a club to beat Slaanesh to a pulp)
Hell, there should be a lot more than just seven living gods in the Warp (9 if we're counting Isha and Ynead).
It's been 60 million years since the War in Heaven. The fact there's less than 10 known gods in the Warp is rather odd.
>C'Tan
>Warp
Thats not how it works
>The fact there's less than 10 known gods in the Warp is rather odd.
What are they going to all be gods of? There's already a god of punching your balls, draining your balls, ball disease, antibiotics for balls, changing your balls, green balls, fire balls, good balls, funny balls, etc.
Slaanesh killing the Eldar pantheon, like a lot of Eldar stories, isn't to be taken entirely literally.
It's a metaphor for him killing their society and their ability to generate the psychic gestalt that gave rise to the Eldar pantheon. Which in a way did kill the gods, but not in the way you're thinking.
>The fact there's less than 10 known gods in the Warp is rather odd.
There are a lot of independent psychic entities out there, they just don't get much attention
Plus there's that Malal guy
Yeah good point, I always forget about the eldar gods. Maybe they were weakend by the whole eldar decadence/slaneesh eating their souls thing?
I just can't imagine Khorne deciding to kill Nurgle for example.
> fire balls
tfw not great balls of fire
Nurgle would beat Khorne's angry ass
>Thats not how it works
Note to self: Should've left the comment about how I know the pic's outdated in the OP.
>It's a metaphor for him killing their society and their ability to generate the psychic gestalt that gave rise to the Eldar pantheon.
I remember seeing someone claim that the Eldar gods were just artifical creations made by the Old Ones, making Slaanesh (and Ynead) the first two naturally occurring gods for the Eldar.
I mean, the other race the Old Ones made to fight the Enslavers (the Orks), resulted in the birth of Gork and Mork, making those two the first 'naturally born' Gods inside the Warp.
>Nurgle would beat Khorne's angry ass
>Nurgle
>beating anyone except Slaanesh
Now that's funny.
>Maybe they were weakend by the whole eldar decadence/slaneesh eating their souls thing?
That actually makes sense. No 'native' worshipers makes a god weak and easy to kill/devour/shatter certainly seems plausible.
It also explains why the Gork and Mork and essentially unkillable/'immovable objects' as far as combat in the Warp goes (at least lorewise). You'd have to use something like the Halos in order to wipe out huge chunks of Orks in order to affect them.
I had a bit of lore for some of my marine My Dudes (not technically my dudes), that upon death, they don't go to wherever people normally go in 40k, but are so filled with righteous fury that they've created they're own little bubble in the warp, where they go on fighting the forces of chaos, with the power of the emprah backing them. Marine Valhalla
Apparently there's been some lore blurbs in the new fluff to support that the chaos God's all have their little private magical realms they are masters of, but other entities can carve chunks out for themselves?
I imagine with how warp bullshit works, everybody has trouble fucking with anybody squatting in their particular sphere of influence.
>C'Tan
>Warp gods
you are a dumb person
>everybody has trouble fucking with anybody squatting in their particular sphere of influence.
Which is amusing since Gork and Mork are never really stated to have any 'private realms' (excluding the WAAAAGH! field 'Warp', which no other god can really access... although they occasionally let Khorne eat the table scraps of that Warp), so those two probably just wander around the Warp, beating the shit out of each other/bugging the other gods.
Which would has some real comedic value adventure-wise, now that I think about it.
Read the thread, cockwagon
See OP's explanation here:
>I remember seeing someone claim that the Eldar gods were just artifical creations made by the Old Ones, making Slaanesh (and Ynead) the first two naturally occurring gods for the Eldar.

If you assume that "racial" gods are inherently tied to their host race in some fashion (while the 4 "Chaos" gods, aka the Primordial Annihilator, are inherent phenomena to sensate life), then a lot of the stuff about Eldar and Ork gods makes a bit more sense.
So in truth, there is no independent pair of entities floating out there in warpspace; rather much as you get weak Nurglish warp fuckery when there's a Black Death outbreak, likewise you get a really potent Gork 'n' Mork warp fuckery effect when there's a WAAAAAGGGGH on. Same originally applied to the Eldar, but they all got eaten round about the same time as the entire Eldar civilisation that believed in them.
And the Old Ones being the Old Ones, probably knew enough about empyrean psykomechanics to engineer this situation intentionally.
I see the Chaos Gods depicted a number of ways, but do they even have a singular form or personality? They have capital cities and palaces deep in the warp, are they actually there in a real sense? The fluff suggests they are, but everything else I ever hear about them makes it seem like they are formless.
Could they ever physically manifest under the right circumstances, or are they just some vast psychic cloud of emotion and influence? Is the closest thing to a tangible representation of the will and power of these Gods their followers and "favorite" daemon prince champion? Just thought waves echoing across the universe and picking up steam as more and more people begin to think the same way. That shit's way too Pratchetty for me. Clap your hands if you believe in Khorne! Friggin' meta-deities.
Are any of these entities aware of the Hive Mind?
Those things would look so much better without the cartoonish glowing eyes.
Gork and Mork are aware of it, and they seem to love fucking with it, especially since the Orks are pulling out their 'fuck reality! It's WAAAAGH! TIME!' card and just straight-up bypassing the Hive Mind's Shadow In the Warp straight on their Way to go introduce ol' Swarmy to their favorite choppa on Octarius these days.
No idea about the others though.
>And the Old Ones being the Old Ones, probably knew enough about empyrean psykomechanics to engineer this situation intentionally.
I'm pretty sure Gork n' Mork were not a case of 'just-as-planned' by the Old Ones, since the Krork were part of the 'throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks' strategy to fight the Enslaver plague (it didn't work). Gork n' Mork are more akin to Slaanesh (the first "true" Eldar god), except G & M aren't malicious toward their host race by comparison. Both are unintended consequences, with extremely different outcomes.
You're likely right.
HOWEVER
This is 40k. So, that means that yes, Khorne is a giant armored guy with a sword, and slaanesh is a sexy lady
'lady'
>Khorne, Nurgle and Tzeentch all wondering what Slaanesh's gender is
>they bring in Gork n' Mork to try and convince them to go see Slaanesh and find out
>Gork n' Mork exchange looks and then grab Tzeentch and toss hm headfirst into the 'Palace of Pleasure'
>Screams of "NOT AS PLANNED! NOT AS PLAAAAAANED!!" are heard soon after
Slaanesh is everything, and I mean everything, /d/ has ever wanted and more. And somehow at the same time, pure enough to satisfy the most vanilla of vanillafags.
>khaine is dead, the eldar just rattle his bones when they need to be scary
kek'd
>mean, the other race the Old Ones made to fight the Enslavers (the Orks),
Are you suggesting orks were the enslavers? Or orks were made to counter the enslavers? Both are wrong
To be fair nurgles power varies from 3rd to 1st a lot, there are times he could kick khorne around, and times tzeentch could beat him
Agreed. Tyranids clearly work better with googly eyes.
Damn straight they do.
Granddad is too benevolent for beating Khorne. After all, corpses are an excellent breeding grounds for many lifeforms
His power tends to wax when the others Wane, because he's the god of Death and Suffering, and the success of the others tends to cause lots of dying and suffering. So after Khorne blows his hot sticky murder load all over a planet and moves on, guess who gets juiced? Papa Nurgle.
...
Daily Reminder Nurgle is the only god with GF.
He is porking Isha in his garden each day.
Khorne and Kaine are fags.
Slanesh tryied to steal him.
Tzeench want to get in to Cegorach room(BL) to find his porn stash.
Possibly created by the outsider?
>chaos gods are in the warp alone, that's why they send Daemons. Aren't being so much as reflections of souls, so good luck killing fear, anger, lust, etc. itself.
>C'tan are in reality alone, and are effectively the inverse of the chaos gods. Plenty have been killed by crons, but most 'gods' have trouble reaching them
>Eldar gods aren't gods in the traditional sense, but the only living ones are doing so because they're either captured, in hiding, or shattered.
>gork and mork are just a result of gestalt field, dunno what that means for killing them. Like Chaos gods, I guess?
>Emps is like Eldar gods except waaaaay stronger and is effectively impossible to be killed by any one entity
>the omnissiah is like if Aristotle made a god, it's 50% just observing random shit and saying "behold! Miracles!" and 50% 'howthefuckingwhat'.
The Chaos Gods view the Hive mind as a competitor when it comes to devouring the galaxy.
No, theres like 0 evidence for this claim, old lore claims they are almost as old as the universe itself
Its not really a warp entity like the rest, more like a ghost in the warp, it has a presence but not a form, its one mind controlling trillions of bodies in real space, its a weird thing
Chaos view it as a wolf coming to steal away their sheep (the galaxies life)
Gork and Mork probably like the nids, cause theyre an ever changing, choppy, numerous army, good for punching
>The Ork Gods are literally Football hooligans who just show up to talk shit to the other Gods whenever there is fighting going on.
>They are followed by the combined Psychic gestalt of the Orks and leave ruin in their wake
>Slaanesh
>satisfy
What does Chaos / the Chaos gods think of the Necrons and C'Tan?
The C'tan aren't in the warp. Isha is a caged trophy of Nurgle, Khaine's shattered, cegorach is hiding in the Webway, the Emperor and the chaos gods are waging psychic battle that, in the Beast Arises makes a Harlequin disgusted that humans are so pathetic they're completely unaware of a titanic struggle going on around them when she went to visit Terra.
And Gork and Mork are just doing their Orkz thing I guess
C'Tan are not warp entities, and Malal is fanwank. Use a different image, idiot.
They did steal the Squigs from Nurgle by doing the old "one gets down behind and the other pushes" trick, if you believe the old fluff.
>Are you suggesting orks were the enslavers? Or orks were made to counter the enslavers? Both are wrong
I'm guessing it was the latter one, and last I heard that was the case (the user was citing oldcron lore, and iirc, the Old One half of their lore wasn't retconned into "Tomb Kings In SPESS").
>the Emperor and the chaos gods are waging psychic battle that, in the Beast Arises makes a Harlequin disgusted that humans are so pathetic they're completely unaware of a titanic struggle going on around them when she went to visit Terra.
Now I'm just imagining Gork and Mork walking up during that psychic battle and asking:
>"Oi, 'ave any of ya gits checked in on Terra recently?"
To which Emps response would be something along the lines of:
>"Of course I have I-WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT SECOND MOON COME FROM?!?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE IMPERIAL FISTS?! WTF IS GOING ON IN MY IMPERIUM!?!"
Malal is cannon, just under different name (Malice)
>The four war gods (Gork, Mork, Emprah and Khorne) all get together to have a beer and some ribs while they watch the carnage on Armageddon
>Tzeentch shows up and ruins everything by starting a fight with Khorne
Fucking Tzeentch. What a massive dick.
Source on the .gif please? Image search turns up nothing for me.
>Humans expand in DAoT
>Human-made chaos entities "absorb"/"merge" with alien-made chaos entities
>Gork & Mork having a good ole time playing an intense campaign against the Hivemind
>faggot Khorne shows up uninvited with his WAAC list and thinks he's going to wipe the floor with them
>Gork and Mork proceed to kick his ass while hivemind slaps the shit out of him
>leaves the match early because he "wasn't trying to win anyways and my rides already here. later xenos scrubs, you still never beat me"
Khorne is just as much of a dick
In what source?
>Fantasy's Warpfuckery need not apply.
The elector counts are the true masters of the warp.
Seems like the artist deactivated their DeviantArt account. Probably some drama or other.
This is all I could find and that gif ain't even on there: lynashisenpai.tumblr.com
If it helps that is Soraka from league of legends. Though she is just a standard friendly healer in game. Not even unhinged or a hint of instability.
>there is no comic depicting the wacky adventures of Gork'n'Mork in the Warp where the adventures always start with them two arguing but then end with them finding a compromise and continuing the journey
Old books of 40k and Fantasy talk about a singular being living in the Warp that the CGs are aspects of. Whether or not it's true is unknown, but if it is true than he's what the Old Ones kept trying to bar from entering the world and his return will destroy everything, and he'll swallow up the other CGs very much against their will.
Well that sounds neat, in a perfunctory final boss sort of way. But I love that shit.
Gork and Mork are the best warp deities. You just want to root for them while they raise hell on a cosmic scale.
>Gork and Mork hear about a great treasure
>Find it's already been taken and fight over whose fault it is
>Tzeench laughs and says they fell for his ruse
>They fight him instead
>Da reel flash wuz da gits we krumped on da way
really fucking vague references in the miniscule lore of the Sons of Malice, I think
Does the Tyranid Hive Mind constitute a god?
Slaanesh is way too cute there. Like, suspiciously cute.
well, he's a dude. Make of that what you will.
>hot sticky murder load
Aww
One, the Emperor is hella powerfully psychically. Attacking him head-on is hard.
Two, he's still technically alive and with a material presence. I'm not 100% on the exact repecussions of this but he can no-sell a lot of psychic attempts to destroy him because of his current condition.
Think of his corpse-self as a phylactery. His essence is grounded there and if a shard is defeated it just respawns there or something.
