N00b here. Why are there only Chaos Space Marines, not Chaos Eldar, Chaos Orks, Chaos Tyrannids etc?

Also I have made a Chaos chapter in Dawn of War called 'Warp Wolves' who are basically Chaos Space Wolves. Kinda cool imo.

 No.841

orks only follow gork and mork, anything else its un-orky

eldars were fucked by chaos, thats the reason why they are so few and are split between craftworld, exodite and dark eldar

tyranids are like cells on a single body, they all respond to the hive mind, theres no reason for them to pay any attention to the chaos gods

>>841

That makes sense, but did all the CSM join Chaos willingly, or were they brainwashed forcibly? Because honestly I think Chaos Orks would be fucking amazing!


 No.848

The traitor legions all joined on their own free will, though they all had their own reason.

> Chaos Eldar,

Eldar already have to jump trough hoops to prevent their souls from being eaten by Slaanesh.

Craftsworld Eldar stash their souls into wraith-boners, Dark Eldar are trying to slurp others as fast as it slurps them.

Though there may be one way to join Chaos: if Dark Eldar join Khorne to screw over Slaanesh.

> Chaos Orks

There are some Khornates. The rest often don't like them, then the fun starts, and there are more normal Orks…


 No.893

There are some chaos eldar, they're just very rare.


 No.894

Because none of the other races were enough of a threat to Chaos that the Ruinous Powers felt a need to subvert them. Eldar fucked themselves literally all on their lonesome, Orks aren't organized or intelligent enough to be a threat, and Nids are newcomers to the Galaxy. The Emperor, and by extension Humanity, was the only one that actively opposed Chaos, and would likely have succeeded in killing or severely weakening them if the Heresy hadn't fractured the Imperium.


 No.903

The orks do not follow Chaos, for Chaos cannot offer what the Orks want that Gork & Mork already couldn't. All they need is a good fight. Chaos could offer them a good fight, but they already do that themselves anyway, so why bother?

Furthermore, anything Chaos related isn't considered 'Orky'. In fact, it's seen as weak within society. As such, no Chaos Orks exist. Though i wouldn't be surprised if some had a good liking to Khorne.

Furthermore, they are easily manipulated. Whereas a human's mind slowly succumbs to the temptation of Chaos before being able to easily control, a single Ork warchief simply needs to be 'set up' to do as the Chaos deity wills. The first Dawn of War and the WH40k Space Marine games have a storyline like that (Ork invasion set up by Chaos) and i believe that the Armageddon wars were used to 'weaken' the strength of Man to make for easier capture by the Chaos forces.

Chaos Eldar = Dark Eldar.

Tyranids aren't prone to the manipulation of Chaos, as the Tyranid swarm is a hive-mind collective of no to barely any free-will. If the Tyranid Hive Mind that controls it succumbs to Chaos, we'll see. But i dont think even the Gods know where the Tyranid Hive Mind is located.

The Tau have, thus far, no connection to Chaos. Not only is the mention of Chaos barely known to such a young species that's on the other end of the galaxy, they do not use the warp for space travel. They do not possess psychic abilities, so there's no 'patient zero/dark messiah/etc. etc.' the Chaos Gods can call upon, so they cannot establish anything of a foothold.

The Tau do have 'Ethereals', which are sort-of-leaders of the Tau. They have something of 'magic' upon them, as they apparently have a soothing, calming, convincing and inspiring aura upon them (and are, as such, great leaders), but no connection the warp whatsoever.

The Necrons have their own 'dark deity', the C'tan and are stripped of the weakness of flesh 'in spirit and body' and are, as such, incorruptible.

some orks are lured into khorne embrace for fighting, but changes from some weird love of fighting to some weird khorne love version of fighting.

Nurgle can also corrupt orks. normal orks are hard to kill. plague orks are… a different level.

Tzeentch and slaanesh just don't appeal to orks, but I'm sure one could come up with a rather interesting reason why there is a tzeentch ork or slaanesh ork.

>Why are there only Chaos Space Marines, not Chaos Eldar, Chaos Orks, Chaos Tyrannids etc?

Eldar have hard time worshiping chaos since they too tasty for the gods to resist and Slannesh has dibs.

Dark Eldar basically worship themselves.

Orks have their own gods, tho there are instances of Khorne Orks.

Most other factions have their own deities to worship too, unless they're mostly animals(Nids).
