Keep reading the novels and i start to be involved i it badly!

I really like the 40k universe!

Now, about the topic.

We all know the meaning of Chaos itself: pure anarchy, harted, terror, fear, armageddon, complete absence of order, logic and future. Is something so "messy" it's impossible to define and describe. It's so trascendental is has no rules, no exception: in one word CHAOS.

Now let's see some examples on how the Chaos Gods work in order to achieve that to see how they constantly break their own rules:

Abbadon organizing Black Crusades! Wait: this means a plan: organize your troops, chose a sensible target (Cadia), follow a goal.Even if Chaos is the final Goal, i see nothing about Chaos in this. I see organization, rules, strategy.

Tzeentch: Sometimes it achieves some score, but he is a good example how supreme planning and intrigues has nothing to do with Chaos. Ghargatuloth was one of his worse failure: fine planning of everything for a thousand years, and then just a spark of hope in one of their puppets (Ligeia) and everything planned is broken in ashes.

Maybe the Orks, or even better the Tyranids are pure Chaos. They does not even have a rational idea of Chaos, nor is their primary goal. But they act in perfect armony with the Chaos rules: savage, almost no specific goal, brute force.

I think this will be the final meaning of the failure of Chaos forces till now: they are still trapped in being nothing more than the Emeperor and Space Marines nemesis. Acting so human, planning so human, even the reasons of their defeats is human like. In the end, all Space Marines and Primarchs turned to chaos to get something human want and feel everyday (power, revenge, and so on).

Stop organizing crusades like the Space Marines, or make infinite planning and subterfuges like in a soap opera. If you want to reach pure Chaos, it has no be not only the goal, but the tool to achieve it.
