Tech: Chaos>Imperium?

[Lerra]

Followers of Tzeentch are more likely than followers of Khorne to sit down with a book or an experiment. Well, at least the sorcerors. Didn't the Thousand Sons fall to chaos because of their desire for knowledge?

[Melissia]

Sure, but they're entirely focused on sorcerous research I think. The same could be said of Imperial Psykers, whom are far more numerous, even if they do not research "sorcery" per se they do research the warp, the soul, and the nature of psychic powers, daemons, and so on.

Heres another interesting conflict between sorcery and Technological advancement: Nurgle. The plague father spends his days brewing up new and deadlier diseases. Isn't the enhancement of biological weapons a technological advance?

Well, the technology is more the creation and distribution of said diseases.

Also, nurgle is a chaos god, so I'm unsure if that's actual true technological advances anyway, given that he basically just wills it to be.

But from what I recall from the Chaos Daemons codex, he still uses trial and error. He tests them on Isha. But he is kind of the Incarnation of biological warfare, so theres really not much room for competition with the big green giant

As to the "no tech advancement" of chaos, I have one response: Defilers. Chaos wants killy things, so makes chaotic killy things. Now how much of this is advancement and how much is pure insane innovation is up for debate.

Oblitorators maybe...

CSMs are, in my mind, pretty stupid except in combat.

Ahhh, yes. Fabius Bile is best known in all the codex materials for his revolutionary "hit it with a rock" method of DNA manipulation...
