>Khorne cares not from where the blood flows but he is a God of honor who demands we face greater and greater challenges so we may purify ourselves of the Emperors lies through the glorious bloodbath of righteous battles. >How many innocents have you slain Astarte, how many peaceful planets were destroyed all for the false promises and lies of who you believe to be your God? t. Mordherr Child-Flayer addressing Flavius Orphan-Savior from his throne of toddler skulls inside the hall of eternal suffering.
>>97760291Honour is a culturally relative concept.Indeed, "Honour Cultures" in the real world frequently have ideas of what "Honour" means that would boggle your mind.To some, stoning your sister to death for adultery is "Honour".Or killing your child for leaving the religion you raised them in.To a tribal headhunter, "Honour" is measured in shrunken heads.To Khorne, Honour is measured in blood spilt in his name.Within the practice of Khorne worship, there are also degrees, and differing levels of devotion.A feral-world tribal raider might offer every eighth captive he takes as a sacrifice, sell or take the rest as chattel, then go home to his family once raiding season is done, though at this level, the entity is likely worshipped under a local byname, and the practice will be coloured by local flavour that may rationalize or even outright conceal the true nature of the god.Khorne himself has "Honour" only in the sense that he demands a physical contest unspoilt by sorcery, and that the greater the fight, the more worthy the sacrifice.Ultimately, the lives of mortals exist to fill his chalice.
>>97760813How did this affect your last Warhammer 40k game session?
>>97760291>but he is a God of honorfanfiction
>>97760821By repeatedly making arguments and assertions based on contextual sociocultural cues that exist outside his frame of reference, I was able to trigger the autist I was playing against into having a screaming fit, ultimately resulting in me winning the game after he was banned from my local game store. Cut his arms up pretty badly when he smashed into the display case; I'd have felt bad but his army was 3k points of unpainted Ultramarines so fuck him.
>>97760291Wow it's almost like there was more than one person writing this shit.

>>97760821>>97760303You are not fitting in
>>97760823Nah, just old lore that GW's been choosing to ignore since around 2008.
>>97760291I feel this way when I hear people wax rhapsodical about the DISCIPLINE and CHESS-LIKE STRATEGY involved in combat sports like MMA; I enjoy watching them, but when I watch them, it's clear to me that the really salient part of what's happening is the brutality, the destruction of the defeated. It's just a gentler version of the colosseum, not an equivalent of team sports that involve more than violence
>>97760291Khorne likes all the blood. Khorne also clearly prefers blood and skulls from powerful enemies, ideally killed in hand-to-hand combat.Khorne's aspect of honor is merely that his greatest champions are those who will seek to stab as many other warriors in the face as possible, and that sorcery is cheating.We're talking about the god who has a champion named Kharn the Betrayer. Honor is a tertiary part of his tenets, at best.
>>97761140Khorne has literally never once been honourable in 40k.
>>97761380WFB neither but people really cling to that headcanon.
>>97761140Wrong.Khorne has been all about mindless violence and slaughter since Realms of Chaos back in the late 80s.
>>97761164Holloway vs Oliviera for the BMF belt should dispel that idea from you.Sometimes the other guy punches better than you so you tweak the fight to your strengths.No, it isn't chess. It's also not just whoever brings the most violence. Its somewhere in between those extremesIMHO the average watcher is closer to comprehending the strategies than ever putting in the work to be able to use them effectively, so there's less effort put into hyping up the physical work and more effort into hyping up the mental game to make the athletes more godlike and unobtainable. Its a sport, it lives on views and storylines, cei la vie
>>97760303This made up story (actually an advert) continued to keep me obsessed about this particular model line and encouraged me to buy and display more models!
>>97760291Chaos and its followers SHOULD be inconsistent and hypocriticalthe problem is writers that actually buy into it
>>97760291> chaos is filled with evil monsters incapable of basic self-reflectionand that's how we like them
>>97760291> Khorne cares not from where the blood flowsCorrect> but he is a God of honorFalse. That is a lie created by his most newly converted followers as a cope.
>>97762953>newbie copeOne often forgotten thing is that one of Khorne's actual Gifts in RoC - not an attribute, a direct Gift from him - was Personality Loss. A direct loss of Intelligence and Cool. Maybe Willpower and Leadership too, can't remember now. So you were more likely to fly into frenzy, but that was about the only positive. Especially in 40k, there used to be Int minima to use certain weapons; it was entirely possible for a Khornate Champion to forget how to shoot his pistol.The point was that, once you swore to Khorne, you were becoming an unthinking animal, kill or be killed, higher concepts like "honour ", "purpose" or "cause" be damned. Only blood. Only skulls. Those fine things might be how the cult got you, but if you were on the path, it wasn't where you were staying.
>>97760823>>97761140He is and he isn't. Martial honor is in his orbit, but all he actually cares about is blood. He enjoys martial culture and the desire for worthy enemies as a gateway drug to slaughter, but couldn't care less about it really.

Angry Marines can only wish to know such levels of rage.
>>97763890Martial Honor is only in his remit as far as it is a tool he uses to seduce and beguile people into becoming his slaughter obsessed minions.
