Alternative/homebrew Chaos Gods
Cooper James
Carson Taylor
Rorikos, the loli god of prison rape
Jason Cruz
Malal, duh.
Carson Wright
Rework warhammer into a modern cyberpunk setting. Make a chaos god as the living embodiment of waifuism, with her followers wishing to "make the world 2D" by bringing the planet into the Warp.
Tyler Ward
I bring back the Gods of Law.
Dominic Morgan
Chaos undivided is now represented by a huge blob of tentacles deity that resembles azathoth.
The warp is represented by a god that resembles yog sothoth.
Other than that, minimal change.

I've got a couple
>Yrael, The Coming King
>Portfolio:Ambition and Dominion
>Represents desire, specifically for power and specifically for power over others. Also represents the willingness to do anything to attain or keep that power.
>Followers come from all classes and in all stripes, as the rebel and usurper are just as much serving Yrael as the despot and the scheming bureaucrat. All seek power, but in the end all will kneel or be knelt before his golden throne. Devotees wear saffron and gold, and tend to wear his symbol, a two headed dragon
>Daemons include
>the Kingsmen, giant rotting humanoids clad in glorious golden armor, with the strength to fell scores of men in a halberd's sweep and who carry the writ of the King, which bends mortals to their command. Those who kill a Kingsman are cursed to replace them.
>Xanthous Courtiers. Tall, lanky creatures wearing their own jaundiced, saggy flesh like voluminous robes. Fight with golden claws and sulfurous yellow flames, as well as spreading the cursed Gospel of the King
>Charioteer Aurates: Massive, ornate chariots made of gilded human bodies, bent and twisted into both the cart and the massive destriers that pull it. The wheels of the chariot are especially interesting, as the spoke and axle are another form of lesser daemon, 'promoted' into the service of the King's champions. The rim, however, is wrought from the souls of anarchists and others who would deny mankind it's right to be ruled.

>Lloron, the Untraveled Road
Lloron represents sorrow, or more specifically regret. Every path not taken looked upon longingly, every moment of hesitation that haunts your nights, every hard choice that you wish you could take back. These all feed the Queen of Maybe.
Her cultists wear mourning clothes of their culture, dyed in bright azure and lapis and seafoam. Much of their ritual and methods are the same, gaudy mockeries of funerary practicies. Her animal motifs tend to focus on sea life
Her daemons are seducers and decievers first, warriors second. They seek to push mortals to their breaking points, engineering situations that will force them to make impossible choices.
>Dolorae
The Dolorae, or Sufferers, are her greater daemons. They resemble tall, beautiful, blue skinned humans wearing ornate clothing at first glance, like exquisite, bloated corpses. Their robes (actually long. flowing fins like a Betta fish) hide countless weeping faces, writhing ice-blue veins, and their funeral veils hide lamprey-like mouths.
>Lacrimae
Lloron's lesser daemons are called Lacrimae, and take the form of indistinct, watery humanoids. They are masters of disguise, and can change themselves into many forms, though their transparent eyes always give them away under scrutiny. They love to seek out those who have suffered some sort of loss and take the form of their fallen loved one, to give them hope of forgiveness and reunion, and then to "die" tragically in a way that leads their victim to believe it's their fault.
>???
Idk. Some combination of extinct sea creatures (whale trilobites?) with a weeping womans face. Big and tanky, can maybe cry Lacrimae?
Colton Nelson
>Engal the grand undead.
Engal is empowered by the end of things be it the death of a man or the end of a mans faith.
Engal also encompasses the acceptance of new ideas. When a noble decides to stop hating those below him and trys to help out those in the hive Engal chuckles and huddles in his cloak, ready to watch what happens.
His followers wear Orange and black robes and the animal they focus on is a Vulture.
Engals demons are short lived beasts that rely on swarming the enemy.
His deamons are the:
>The Perplexed
The greater deamons of Engal are called The perplexed. They look like anthropomorphic dogs with the heads of a Vulture. They commonly use weapons that have multiple uses such as a spear that breaks into two swords or a Hammer that can morph into a shovel.
The perplexed constantly change their minds and when in battle flail wildly with no skill.
>Mad things
The lesser daemons of Engal are known as Mad things and are slimes that can change their form however they want.
>Sightseers
The steeds of Engal are called Sightseers, and look like huge vulture.
They are like wyverns in that they can use their wings and legs to walk around.
Josiah Wilson
Just add Michael Moorcock's Chaos gods back into things.
Adrian Hill
Sounds like somebody dove into the sea of black tears.
Noah Campbell
Chaos marines who worship the azathoth-similar deity have tentacles sticking out of their power armor holes and ooze slime off of the tentacles, which grow out of any part of their bodies. The chaos dreadnaughts of the azathoth similar deity are literally melting down (in the sense that the guy inside is very slowly turning into fluid), they explode like huge bombs if defeated.
Isaiah Smith
Slaanesh already exists, dummy.

>Akbar
Akbar, a powerful vampire, was burnt when the Mother and Father, Akasha and Enkil, were put into the sun. He resides in Antioch, in search of the Mother and Father, and leaves his victims on the steps of the Temple. Akbar threatens to kill Pandora unless Marius allows him to see and drink from the ancient couple. He drains Pandora to near death before Marius allows him to see the Mother and Father, and is later destroyed by Akasha when he attempts to drink from her.
>Azim
Azim was one of the older vampires. He ruled as a god for a thousand years in a secret temple in the Himalayas, where those who went to worship him never returned alive. He conducted disturbing rituals and entices Pandora to participate in them in return for Marius’ location (when Marius gets trapped in the ice after Akasha awakens).
Akasha spares him during her worldwide slaughter, but for a purpose. She sees him as the ultimate symbol of vampire evil and explodes his body in front of human witnesses.
>Daniel Molloy
Daniel was the recorder of Louis’ confession that later became the story Interview with the Vampire. Born in 1955, Daniel comes across Armand in 1975, after he had recorded Louis’ story. He becomes Armand’s mortal companion, but conflicts drive them apart. Armand continually refuses Daniel’s requests for immortality.
Daniel turns to alcohol and becomes a mortal recipient of the dream of the twins. In 1985, Armand gives Daniel (who is dying) immortal life. He survives Akasha’s worldwide slaughter of vampires.
>Druid Vampire (God of the Grove)
The Druid Vampire, also known as the God of the Grove, was kept in an oak tree by the Druids to preside over their harvest and to ensure the fertility of their land. He was badly burnt when Akasha and Enkil were placed in the sun, and as a result of his weakened state, the Druids went in search for another god.
Joseph Morris
Here is my take on alternate Chaos Gods for my Not!Warhammer setting
Sa'Hadiel, Prince of War
Brass & Bronze skin, his Sultans of Slaughter wage unholy war
David Diaz
Xavier Flores
Urshiel, Prince of Pestilence
Stout & burly, with a bit of a gut. Think of an old timey pugilist. He is jovial & friendly but in a dangerous way. Loves to watch things grow & decay. Leads a bloated horde & bug-fairies
Xavier Cox
Lokiel, Prince of Plots
Huge blueish snake/dragon. Mouth dripping with poison. Shapechanger who can disguise himself as anyone, sets people against each other with endless schemes
Austin Perez
Ch'Adiel, Prince of Pleasure
Has two bodies at the same time, but one consciousness/mind. One an attractive male, the other an attractive female. They seduce & tempt mortals. Sometimes they fuck themselves/itself.
Wyatt Wright
I like the Yozi from exalted, and you can actually map them pretty well onto the four chaos gods but have cooler aesthetics and more depth
>Khorne
Malfeas. Angry, brass and red, fucking insane.
>Nurgle
Kimberly. Fecund, associated with the color green, incredibly unhealthy familial relationship
>Tzeentch
Ebon Dragon. Plotting dickhead trickster
>Slaanesh
Szoreny or Adorjan. Maps the least well
Brayden Foster
Here are their symbols
Urshiel, Cauldron of Life
Ch'Adiel, Trident of Passions
Lokiel, Serpent of Secrets
Sa'Hadiel, Spear that Pierces the Heavens/volcano
Joseph Jackson
That one is basically trogdor
Ryan Cox

I am Chad Forger of Worlds

GW is pleased but Disney is disappointed
Nathan Morris
Chaos god of Merch. It convinces kiddies to waste their parents money on pointless, crappy bits of plastic produced by a galaxy spanning corporation, when they should be studying and training to protect and improve the Imperial society they will eventually become part of. Some Merch Champions never reach adulthood, staying perptually in childhood, wasting their lives arguing about pointless imaginary alternate universes from their hive underworlds.
Aaron Baker
Malal is canon now. He represents the immense contradiction between The Emperor's hatred of all gods and his status in the Imperium as one himself. The more the Emperor's physical form dies, the stronger Malal gets. The people most prone to falling to Malal are people with conflicted loyalties. Rogue Space Marine chapters who still worship the Emperor and their Primarch. Guard defectors who are torn between their loyalty to their commanding officer and their Imperium. Hereteks who still worship the Omnisiah and yet cannot bear the micromanaging influence of the Cult of Mars. He also draws readily from the ranks of the most fanatical members of the Imperiul Cult, whose worship contradicts the Imperial truth at its core.
Anthony Collins
GW's chaos is already an alternative/homebrew.
Mason Fisher
Daemon King Urdhanvana was a human once but became the World Teacher of the entire Akaran Resurgence, a Chaos empire ruling houndreds of worlds, his teachings are followed and praised on a thousand world. His warrior-cultist die content of knowing that The World Teacher will reincarnate them, for he is the Lord of the Barbed Wheel. The purpose of the Resurgence is the eternal strife of humanity becoimg one with the flow of the Exalted.
>What are your homebrewed chaos gods like?
He looks like a giant metal skeleton guru, his body burns in a heat that enlightens the soul and his gaze shines brighter than the heart of a sun. Personalitywise Urdhan is the cruel patriarch but cautious person, he knows he can't anger the Exalted Powers too much as they will punish him otherwise. He is only a daemon prince that got a power up.
>What aesthetics do they and their armies have?
Chaos India
>What are their powers?
Boon on Perception, Urdhan himself murdered a sun to Ahriman's delight, ended a civil war and punished the undead traitor.
Gavin Turner
Ch'Adiel is a Princess. Xhe is also a Prince. It's complicated when you have two bodies running around
Lucas Butler
In my setting I needed a threat to the north. The only Chaos God that wasn't in another direction was Not!Tzeenech. So I framed him as a shapechanger who is setting the northmen against themselves & trying to usher in Not!Ragnarok. I then made his true form a fuck huge snake wyrm, to represent the Serpent from the Bible & the world snake from Norse mythology.
With all that shapechanging & lies & such dealing with Norse stuff of course I'm going to reference Loki
Leo Anderson
We don't need a gook version of Slaanesh
Hudson Cook
Bump
Jason Powell
This would completely upend all of the imperium's existing canon, which is why I love it.
Hunter Anderson
Jesus this spam of bad ideas is horrible
Joseph Baker
Literally Tzeentch
Aiden Phillips
>Remove all the Chaos gods
>Fraction Chaos into innumerable subfactions backed by daemons of uncountable domains as long as they are twisted and negative in some way
>Current four Chaos gods are given as example factions along with guidelines on how to make your own
Joshua Torres
Jesus? Now there's an idea...
Lucas Garcia
What do you think makes them bad ideas?
Daniel Ward
I make four (4) Order gods
Elijah Peterson
Zuvassin, chaos god of shitposting.
Michael Morgan
Fuse all three gods of Law(Alluminas, Arianka and Solan) into a new Amalgam Chaos God of Guilt. This Lady Justice deity would have an infernal hierarchy of statue daemons(justice statues and foo dogs) trying to impose Justice in all it forms across all realities.
