Re: What does WH40K mean to you?
And you can't corrupt with love? Or corrupt love? Sorry Slaanesh, you need a me sthick.
The gods' role is to be gods of chaos, which tends to destroy an ordered society when it goes too far.
Um...Nurgle lives you as you are, there is no need to change. You don't need to be diseased, but he wouldn't mind if you just looked after this plague for him
Villains need to be villains. Just because a villain might pet one puppy, it doesn't mean he's not a monster that should be killed with extreme prejudice.
They are different things and you know it. Some "Vampire the Masquarede"-vampires deserve death more than Chaos cultists. Some of those vampires might be able to live lives that aren't about sacrificing the innocent.
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein (the monster, not the professor) did not choose to be a monster, he was made as one.
Adam was an abandoned child called a monster by his father and society. Despite this his first thought is to live apart from society, and when his dreams are destroyed he responds how a human would. Adam began his story as a good guy and a hero, and ended his story as a bitter man with nothing to live for. He is no longer a pure soul, but he has a reasoning for most of what he does.
Victor is a bad guy. He brings a child into the world, and then abandons it. When that child returns and asks his father for a favour, his immediate thought is 'how do I get away' while calling it a monster. He goes back on his word, destroying what his child sees as it's only chance at a companion. He refuses to except that his actions should have consequences. When they do he claims that his only mistake was giving life to Adam, and that Adam ruined his life due to being evil. He refuses to think of Adam as anything but a monster right from the very beginning. Does any of this sound like a good guy?
TLDR: the creature 'born as a monster' has fewer awful deeds in the story than the man who opposes him.
[quote]Don't know anything about Paradise Lost.
And Chaos cultist would sacrifice their humanity and souls if they got bigger muscles out of the deal.[quote]
Cultist yes, but not all followers are cultists. What about the ruler who bargains with Tzeentch for the intellect to have a stable reign?
I actually do prefer Warhammer to 40k.
Anyway, no offense, I wouldn't want you to fight alongside me in any Warhammer game. You seem like a traitor and heretic.

Re: What does WH40K mean to you?
I agree on most of this...
This one, though, I'm in mind of the canonical story of the leader of a rebellion who barters with a Lord of Change for the means to end a war he's losing against the imperial forces assaulting his planet. The lord of change, when negotiations are concluded, immediately hands him a device, which he activates.
Teleport beacon for Terminator Marines, right into the throne room.
Turns out, the war ended as soon as he killed, nobody else wanted to keep fighting.
