    yup, it is a high risk/high reward strategy.

    it doesn't matter what you think about it, it is right there in the fluff, people worship chaos for all manner of reasons, and only a tiny percentage of them ever actually become a daemon prince.

    Nobody has said chaos are sad losers, these articles prove the exact opposite, that chaos armies fight on regardless of mundane issues like supplies. you just seem to want them to be super powerful, all knowing, badasses who can fight fantastically at all times and have magical ever filling magazines of ammunition.

    Please sort in terms of heirarchy:

    Bloodletter - Bloodthirster - Daemon Prince - Herald - Khorne

    so does the warp follow a heirarchy or not?

    Those Tittles are just the ones mortals attach to warp beings to try and comprehend their existence, they're not absolutes, they change, waxing and waning at the whims of the Gods.

    You really think a warp entity assumes that form when not manifest in the material realm?

    Does a Bloodletter "outrank" a Plaguebearer, or a Daemonette? Do they outrank Astartes? There are Daemons shown to be subservient to fleshlings, like Gyre from The Talon of Horus.

    if you want a rigidly structured, perfectly organised and equipped band, Ultramarines are on your left.

    Nobody has said chaos are sad losers, these articles prove the exact opposite, that chaos armies fight on regardless of mundane issues like supplies. you just seem to want them to be super powerful, all knowing, badasses who can fight fantastically at all times and have magical ever filling magazines of ammunition.
    So then. What is their advantage over their loyalist counterparts who do have supplies, are all knowing badasses and super powerful who can fight fantastically at all times and have always full magazines of ammunition.

    if you want a rigidly structured, perfectly organised and equipped band, Ultramarines are on your left.
    Would not work because we all know that if the Ultramarines would ever succumb to Chaos they would instantly fill their drop pods up with explosives, pile up their assaultcannons, Razorbacks, grav guns, Landspeeders,.. and crash their explosive filled drop pods on top of this pile. After that they rush to the next "rent-a-heretic" store to get their pre heresy equipment and a brainwash to forget how they used to fight before.
    Shortly after that they split apart while the imperium still pretends that they are a threat while, in reality, they are just a sad bunch without any supplies hardly surviving at the brink of existance.

    So what is the "reward" in this? Any loyal space marine joining chaos is actually downgrading himself in every single aspect. That alone could be a hint that there has to be some more to it than "lack of supplies".

    The fact that he could become an all powerful Daemon Prince. The lure of power is how Chaos corrupts.
