Do you agree with our rankings? Tell us at https://discord.gg/2dX5JqfNQ6–We're back to where it all started; we are redoing our original four episodes! Those inaugural episodes served as both an introduction to and a metrics-based review of each playable faction in Warhammer 40,000. With 11th edition landing hot and new players joining the scene, we feel it's a great time to revisit this faction breakdown format.For our third of four episodes, it's all about CHAOS. From the daemons of the four dark gods: Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle, to their mortal champions of the Heretic Astartes, we cover all the factions of the traitor and the warp.–This series blends matter-of-fact orientation with opinionated review. We give each of the four categories a ranking between 1-5, and an overall score out of 20. We call this the S.L.A.G. ranking. We feel these categories cover all you need to know:STYLE - the overall aesthetic and whether we feel it is fully realised.LORE - their place in the universe, how they are represented, and how they carry themselves within the epic.ACCESSIBILITY - whether the faction is easy to acquire, paint, and get going with.GAMEPLAY - how all of the above comes to life on the tabletop, whether their rules serve the faction well, and whether the faction does well both casually and competitively.–TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro and recapping this mini-series03:56 Chaos DAEMONS21:01 Oh, Chaos Knights..31:42 Let the Galaxy Burn, CHAOS SPACE MARINES42:40 DEATH GUARD, heck yeah, I mean Yuck!51:35 Emperor's Children, tehe1:01:01 Thousand Sons, man, look at that time stamp!1:11:00 Titanicus but bad1:12:01 !!
