Ok /tg/, who wins?
>>44274193
Whoever wins, we lose.
>>44274193
We do.
>>44274193
Nurgle, because once they're both dead and their wounds are festering, what else is left?
>>44274193
This guy wins.
>>44274193
Technically, the Berzerker wins either way.
Khorne cares not from where the blood flows.
>>44274256
How do those candles stay lit?
>>44274280
With the power of Faith and Zeal
>>44274275
Khorne wins, not the player
>>44274193
Death Company has rending, has the advantage
>>44274464
They still have FnP?
>>44274280
They don't. They stay lit as long as they can while in battle, but just like purity seals, they get ripped off and/or destroyed all the time. They're about psyching up for battle and steeling oneself against what is to come. Yes it may be superstitious nonsense, but it's that level of zealotry that keeps marines from falling to chaos even more than they normally do.
>>44274573
I think? Not 100% on that one but I would hope so
>>44274256
>be space marine
>need candles to prevent me from falling to chaos
>do anyway 50% of the time
regular mortal kriegians are more loyal than those fucks, why does the imperium still keep them around?
>>44275407
>do anyway 50% of the time
Not even close.
>But muh Horus Heresy!
Are not the same marines as in M41. They had fewer restrictions on who was taken in and FAR less psychoindoctrination and mental fortitude.
>>44276201
Also some of the original 20 legions were designed to be insane or retarded, because the Emperor is a dick. See World Eaters, Night Lords. Aside from something like the Cursed Founding, you rarely see space marines being so fucked from design. I mean, unless you could the Blood Angel successors I suppose, but they never really seem to fall to chaos, just to rage.
Kharn in a Khornate tournament in "Chosen of Khorne" audiobook fought a Flesh Tearer who has succumbed to the the madness of his geneseed.
Kharn dispatched him relative ease.
Khorne zerkers > Death Company
>>44274193
Khorne wins
>>44274317
>not the player
Not really.
The objective of the Khornate is to please Khorne.
>>44274193
GW marketing.
>>44274193
Crunch wise Death Company every time.
You can give every Death Company member power swords if you so pleased.
>>44276379
>A legendary Chaos Space Marine beat a random dude on his period.
What an amazing feat. That certainly proved absolutely fucking nothing.
>>44274464
Where does DC have rending?
>>44274193
The proud son of Sanguinius wins, but only if he falls in battle. If not, Astorath will finish what the berzerker couldn't.
>>44274660
>Yes it may be superstitious nonsense
Superstitious nonsense can go a LONG way to improving your performance on the battlefield. The Placebo Effect doesn't just apply to pills, and there's a good chance the object may actually be the real deal and be legitimately Holy and somehow protect the wearer.
>>44276379
This isn't "Primarch-tier combat monster v. basic soldier," this is "basic soldier v. basic soldier."
Your comparison proves nothing.
>>44276379
This one time a tau fire warrior killed a space marine scout with his pulse rifle.
Tau fire warrior > SM primarchs.
>>44274193
A Khorne Berserker from the Horus Heresy should completely demolish the Death Company Astartes from millennia of combat.
But some several century newbie should just get destroyed by the relentless assault of the Death Company marine, simply lacking the experience to counter the storm of blows.
>>44276930
Technically they haven't been around for thousands of objective years, it could realistically be that the death company marine and the berserker are the same age. With warp fuckery, anything is possible.
>>44276930
Khorne berserkers don't tend to be very old and still be a rank and file member. You either advance or you're chopped
>>44276999
Alright Tzeentch, still the Berzerker is fully giving himself to his rage while the deathcompany marine is succumbing to it.
At any point in time the one who is complacent with the rage and learned to use it will beat the one who is being used by the rage
>>44274573
Yes. Furious Charge as well if Im not mistaken.
>>44276379
wow youre dumb.
>>44276401
The objective of the khornate is to rip and tear, killmainburn etc. Khorne is an enabler who benefits. The khornate might get more powerful, amped, ascend to daemonhood and such, but in the end the casino is weighted to the house.
>>44276379
Kharn would get manhandled by Mephiston, who is the Kharn equivalent of DC.
>>44277352
Mephiston is psyker bullshit personified. A better example would be Tycho the Lost or something.
>>44276930
im pretty sure the blood lust is more rabid than furious
i dont know which is more scary.
>>44276320
The World Eaters were fucked up by Angron, they were pretty reasonable before he shoved the butcher's nails in their brains.
Don't know much about the Night Lords so I can't say if they were fucked from the start though.
>>44277702
They were, the Emperor made them to be the answer to things that even he found revolting, they were always going to be the terrorist legion even if Curze wasnt part of the equation. Curze's insanity wasnt part of the plan I assume and was set there by the dark gods as they left him near the core of the planet to drive him even more insane.
>>44277214
That's a solid point. There are death company that embraced the rage such as Mephiston though there are surely very few exceptions such as him. But the odds that a super duper BA rage monger is fighting a beserker is slim, so I'd say you're right.
>>44277438
Didn't it say somewhere that the rage also made Mephiston stronger and faster, like Jago or something? If that's a thing then without using bullshit like lightning and firestorms, he might be a fun match for Kharn
>>44277606
I'd say that someone who would rip you in half and is self aware is more scary than someone who does it and doesn't know it, just because one is feral instead of being purposeful.
>>44274193
Tau
>>44274211
>>44277702
Curze's legion started out just fine, same with the War Hounds (before Angron showed up). As the conditions on Nostramu deteriorated the Night Lords started being composed of criminals and the worst kind of people.
