      hey bro you make some great content. I read 2 Warhammer novels over 3 weeks in the duel diagnosis wing of the looney bin after watching some of your videos. 1 was about a drukari named eisenhorn getting a ⚔️ or something for Khaine. can you do a Warhammer v. Warhammer 40k video?

      the other was about a young warrior from mutant tribe that rode giant elephants. the other tribes worshipped Nurgle and Tzeentch. There was a champion of Khaine or Khorne killing everybody and the leader of the wizards following Tzeentch was the female wizard. At the end the main character climbed a giant demon of the blood god then had to go up against the undefeated champion of the blood god. Skulls for the skull throne!

    Being a Chaos Marine clearly isn't the most stable career option, but honestly I wonder more about the day-to-day of life in the Warp. Like, you go to the toilet and have to worry whether the seat will try to bite you or not. Or you eat your lunch and the chaos sausages just will not stop screaming even after being swallowed. And because here time doesn't flow exactly the same speed inside your digestive system you have to listen to the screaming for the whole week. Then you have to share a room with a plague marine for five minutes and end up throwing up, but now time inside your stomach has reversed so you throw up a living mutant piglet and a little written note from Tzeentch saying "if you worked for me this sort of thing wouldn't happen".

Or is it like a drug living like that.. they just can't do without it. Like some girl who keeps running back to her abusive BF.

    Now think about that: every "maybe" that makes life in the Eye of Terror a constant hell, is also the main reason people in the Imperium would want to join Chaos.
    Maybe you'll end up dead, or mutated, or enslaved. Maybe you'll be forced to betray or be betrayed by your closest friend, for the slightest bit of favour from your master. Maybe the Chaos Gods will devour your soul, condemnimg it to an eternity of torment.
    Or maybe you will win. Maybe you'll come out on top. Maybe you will become the scourge of the very fat pigs that used to boss you around, when you were nothing more than a factory worker in your homeworld, where the "light of the Emperor" seemed to shine only for those lucky few. Maybe even getting a shot at greatness, glory, wealth, revenge is far more preferable than living a single other day as something barely superior to a servitor, while the Ecclesiarchy dares still call you a "human". Maybe the "humanity" you have always been taught to be proud of, has always been the burden that chained you to the mud of a deathworld. A burden you'll be all too pleased to shed.
    Or maybe it was out there, among the trenches: you were called upon by the glorious Imperial Guard, to carry out the will of the Emperor among the savage stars. You were promised a future as humanity's shield. But then you found yourself stuck in a ditch for weeks, barely holding out against an unending tide of nightmarish brutes, screaming WAAAGH! at the top of their lungs, as they chop your companions' heads off, one by one. In the end, you are alone. The enemy is ever closer, and reinforcements won't come to your aid. You just know it.
    You get to truly know hunger, cold, despair, as you make your way back to HQ, broken in body and spirit, hoping that when you'll tell the Commissar that your position was lost, that you had no choice but to bring the grave news, he will not put a bullet in your head for cowardice. But then, the truth just strikes you, harder than a mortar shell, when you come back at the frontline and see that no one even knew you were there, the entire time. Your reward for all you went through? A couple of spare limbs and a new day, month, year on the frontlines, before one day, the regiment will leave the planet, for another one, onto another pointless hell. The planet is lost, but as long as enough enemies have been killed, for the forseable future, the battle is considered "won".
    Or maybe, the regiment will still depart the broken wasteland, but this time leaving you behind, forgotten once again. Once again, alone.
    And then, out of the void, ships come down from the skies, drop-pods crash into the city, they land among the ruins, maybe exactly when you're going to work like always, under the incessants hymns at the voxophones.
    And suddenly there's silence, then there's screaming, then there's... something else. You feel it. You taste it, in that moment, when the Arbites are no longer there, when the Comissar is long gone and the sky turns red. Hell is creeping out of the cracking reality, but you don't care. You don't care about anything, anymore because for that one, brief, insignificant moment, you're free.
    And when the skies come crashing down, when the underhive burns around you, you take life in your hands and you see them: angels from another god, clad in their armours, powerful, terrifying display of a potential you were long denied. Maybe they will butcher you, like the rest of your people, maybe they'll call to you. But it doesn't matter. You come to them regardless, because that "maybe" is a promise of power, one of release, of vengeance, of pure, blissfull, desire fullfilled. The kind of "maybe" you would wager your soul on, for a chance to get even to the Imperium that ate your soul alive, that left you to die because your life was nothing, compared to "the Emperor's light". But if no one will come to your aid, if nothing will save you, because that "light" is a lie, then you will try, and maybe fail, but try nonetheless to get that chance.
    Deep inside you know that you'll just be changing master. But for the first time in ages, it's a master YOU CHOSE.
    And this is worth every "maybe" in the world.

      As long as you do your duty and serve the emperor, you’d probably die before getting any dirt on you anyways. And at the very least you can trust your comrades not to fucking backstab you any day. And you get some form of luxury, albeit minimal and sparse.

    Sadly, it doesn't seem like Chaos gets to be playable in video games any more. Instead we get games like Boltgun, where a single Sternguard Veteran guns down Chaos Terminators and Greater Daemons like it's no big deal.

      Well, I assume you mean in terms of practical outcomes they're similar because most likely you'll end up dead, but in universe and honestly even in reality they couldnt be more different. If as a guardsman you see Loyalist Space Marines being deployed you've certainly been surviving in circumstances that the worst thing you could possibly imagine, and even though you will almost certainly end up dying, especially if they're Grey Knights, your life is forfeit, but theres a good chance your world and family will survive. If you see Chaos Space Marines, youve almost certainly been surviving horrors that you couldnt possibly have imagined, and if you're lucky you and your family and everyone on your planet will get to die.

      Except Magnus and the Thousand Sons. The man seems to have a genuine, "angry fanfiction writer" type hate for Big Red. He ruined Graham McNeill's entire amazing trilogy just to have a "Vulkan destroys Magnus with facts and logic" moment, and he made his OC claim to have forced Magnus to kneel before Abaddon.
      The First Heretic is still one of the best HH novels, but he has a serious bias. Just goes to show that with Black Library's shotgun approach to storytelling (many authors writing on the same subject with little to no centralized editorial control, justified by "unreliable narrator" and "nothing is canon") no one author can really be the best at everything.

    Ok, so... I have a very, VERY weird think about this video. And that weird think is that I already hear 75% all of this before. Like, nearly all word to word and the almost constant "Maybe". And it's hit me - around 7 to 8 years ago, I just discover 40k and i ask about "If Chaos is nearly unbeatable, why it almost always loses?" one of my college friends, who was more like a lore geek, and he told me something like this, but he rephrased it in a different way. "Why Chaos will never win?" - this how he starts thins topic and he ends it with words: "There is nothing certain - only maybe, maybe, maybe... And nothing more." (Almost) same example and context, with quite a few differences here and there, but the meaning the same - his and your explanation of how Chaos Marines lives is different, but non the less, similar, more then in one way.
