Default Chaos - The Rant

Chaos. Oh joy. Let's all go have a cup of tea over Chaos. Because that's all they are. Space Marines having a debate at a tea party.

Fluff dictates that the Chaos Marines are just that, CHAOS. Complete and utter evil beings bent on destroying the Imperium and everything else. And they are controlled by the Chaos Gods. However, to me, Chaos just looks like Space Marines with shabby armour and a few possessions. This isn't CHAOS.

I would think that Chaos would be what the race name suggests. Disorganisation. Rules that make them insane. That make them differ from Space Marines in more ways than they currently do. Sure they have different units and rules, but these units and rules aren't hell bent on destroying everything. I understand that GW have got to keep armies balanced, but how about even making Chaos LOOK more Chaosy. From what i've seen of models each tactical squad contains the same sort of unit unless you tweak it with the almighty Green Stuff who we will all look forward to worshipping in the future. I don't understand how GW came up with the concept for Chaos. Did they just take a Space Marine model, put on a spike and make them have Horde organisation? What they SHOULD of done is make Chaos play more like Orks with Space Marine skills. Hordes, Mobs, just huge units of men. Chaos aren't meant to be Space Marines anymore, they're supposed to be complete destructive possessed insane deranged lunatics. Not tea partying idiots who seem to have nothing better than to conquer the universe. "Hey, i'm bored." "Yeah, let's go kill some innocent humans."

No. No no no. They should be hordic like. All over the place. Rules to make them go in a random direction while drooling and shooting (To a certain degree.) Even shoot their own people on a random basis (Well, Kharne already does.)

Thanks
Chris

Ps. KILL! MAIM! BURN!

if chaos in "chaos space marine" refered to chaos its self i would agree with you but
it doesnt
it refer to the Chaos Gods that they worship
they are very different from loyal marines
the biggest difference being "and they shall know no fear
loyal marines dont run very far
but you get a traitor unit to break below 50% leave it alone it will never recover
try to look past the visual the real difference is the leadership

No offesnse killer... but Chaos Space Marines does not mean "chaotic" space marines...

The Chaos Gods are the 4 most powerful warp beings currently in existance... they are the thoughts of the races such as mankind and eldar made manifest. They are despair, rage/anger, hope (of change), and perfection. They have names, these names differ from culture to culture, but we know them as Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch and Slaanesh.

These beings are the called the chaos gods because they are not logical... they are unlogical... a planet devoted to Khorne is one of eternal violence. A planet devoted to Tzeentch is a maelstrom of bright colors and everchanging policies, etc.

The word Chaos is a bit of a misnomer I admit, but the chaos space marines are still space marines, they simpy follow a different creed and religion than normal space marines... that is the key difference.
