I got back into 40k recently with a Chaos army and I noticed that in 40k, as well as Fantasy, many people bitch endlessly about mixing gods in chaos armies. Why? I fail to see why this is considered lame, abusive, or whatever people decide to call it.

The biggest complaint I hear is that its against the fluff, but that fluff does not exist anymore. The gods hating each other was old, and while maybe us guys that have been around forever know about it, new players would have no knowledge of the old stories. Besides who really follows the fluff when making a list?

The other big complaint is game balance, as if putting a Tzeentch mage in a Slaanesh unit is so game breaking. Axe of Khorne on a mage? You monster!

Really I just don't get it. Its like the people bitching about the government "keeping their hands off my medicare!" WTF?

I have been playing Chaos since I started this game and I say good riddance to bad rules. Remember 5th edition demons where opposing gods units' would actually fight each other? Sure it may have been fluffy but it was terribly unbalanced, you never saw mixed god demons. Same with Mortals, mixing marks was always so restrictive that you rarely saw any mixed armies. Hell even last edition demons were rarely mixed, and the mono god lists were the power builds.

If you want to argue the game balance issue that's all well and good, but the fact that Demons have really good rules has nothing to do with mixing gods. Look at Warriors, you can mix marks and have it be balanced.

I don't get it. What do you guys think?

I always liked the idea of the gods hating each other. However I don't really care as long as it doesn't let people take gaming winning combos, and WoC doesn't really have that anymore and DoC are game winning no matter what so it doesn't really matter.

5th ed deamons fought each other? Like your own units would fight each other? wtf?

I don't see how it's like socialized medicine, I'd would like not to pay taxes for other people to get health care though I would also like to see people not die... at least I won't have to conform to some standard plan and I'll be able to get non shity health care.

Yeah man in 5th it was something like if opposing gods were within 12" you rolled a D6. On a 1 you went off the board and fought, 2-5 they faced each other and talked shit, 6 they charged. Something like that. It was totally gay.

As for the healthcare thing I'd rather not have that debate, I was merely pointing out the dumbness of the argument. (for the record I support medicare for all)

That's fucked up. I wasn't looking for a debate, it always comes done to simple shit throwing... very annoying.
