Yeah pretty much the central themes of both Warhammer settings is that the evil powers won, everything sucks, things will never get better, and all you can do is struggle and fight against the ever encroaching darkness to live another miserable day.

In WFRP 2e it took place just after the Storm of Chaos, so a major theme was "The unstoppable chaos invasion came.... and we kicked their asses. Easier than we were expecting, to be perfectly honest. Now everyone's thinking they don't need to be so concerned by this 'chaos' after all and alliances of necessity are breaking down as everyone wants their slice of the pie."

The other snag with Chaos is that it fundamentally by its very nature keeps itself in check. If one god starts getting too powerful than 2 of the others, 3 if it gets really bad, gang up on the powerful one until somebody else gets more powerful. It just kind of isn't possible for one Chaos god to get powerful enough to stomp the other two.

Except in the case of the two Ork gods. Gork and Mork supposedly could crush the others with ease...if they weren't so busy fighting eachother.

That's the big problem when fundamentally uncreative people add to the background. They start with 4 gods who fundamentally keep each other in check. But then oh yeah then there's these guys who are way more powerful than them.... Oh yeah and some other guys who are even more powerful than even those guys. Etc etc.

Eh, it actually fits the whole ork thing. The ork gods and the orkz don't need to actually win anything because it's the fighting they love. Gork and Mork have no reason to bother the others because the others create the carnage they need. A big weakness of them though is that they don't really embody both good and evil concepts as much as the others. They just fight.

Also there were five chaos gods at one time, but the last just kind of faded out of the lore over time.

Tzeentch is the most interesting of the chaos gods anyways. I just love the guy who makes his schemes often so complex they are self-defeating, but he doesn't care because scheming itself is the point.

The Skaven actually manage to be worse than everyone else in the infighting department mind because they're literally cartoon villains who come within a hair of victory before their whole plan falls apart because of infighting and overconfidence.

Funny thing is lore-wise the most successful thing they've done is probably gently caress up Nagash's poo poo in an extremely Skaven way; relentless cheating, creating the magical artifact equivalent of a dirty bomb and tricking and mind-controlling a 'hero' into wielding it, then leading him to Nagash in a magical equivalent of Twitch Plays Pokemon.

The best part of the Warhammer setting is that there's ten different things that could destroy the universe but they get in each other's way like the three stooges trying to get through a doorway at the same time.

and it was fabulous


Their god thrives on their backstabbing more than he would on them actually succeeding at anything. They're just like the Orcs/Orks in that if they were actually inclined to follow a single leader for just a very short time, they could easily overwhelm the forces of order with sheer numbers. But they don't. ever.

If you think that's the worst thing then you must have missed that Japanese creation with the 6 holes to simulate penetrating the same women at different parts of her development, plus one for her unchanging anus. It's called Life or something and I hope it was fake.

I don't really understand Warhams, and I bounced directly off the Abnett book that was supposed to be good, so I don't know if there are gods of Order in the setting.

Regardless, the problem with gods of Order is that they inevitably decide that their nice universe of rotating spheres would be much better without all these creatures wandering around loving everything up.

Statist communism is pretty close to fascism, imo. The fascio is ideological instead of ethnical, but same principles of "domestic enemy" and such are used to deal with dissent.

In 40k there's the God-Emperor of man, who sucks and is dead and can barely manage to do some miracles every now and then. In Age of Sigmar there's multiple Order-aligned Gods, including Sigmar, a dragon worshiped by magic frogs, and a few Elf gods
