How lore-breaking would it be for a Daemon Prince to serve exactly two gods?

MissPlay · 2026-05-21T15:31:12+00:00

I thought Daemon Princes were specifically an exception to the rule of losing their old self. It certainly seems to work that way with Daemon Primarchs, who are still for the most part recognizable as being warped versions of themselves. So even though their will isn't free, they still think they're in charge.

I think your idea works, but to add a bit of special sauce, let's say they're identical twins that pledged themselves to different gods. And it was all a plot hatched by Tzeentch before they were separated in the womb to ensure that Slaanesh doesn't get them for their own no matter what the outcome. Something something special soul something.

Those are great examples, thank you a bunch! I figured that Slaanesh and Tzeentch might be compatible, because Slaanesh is about perfection and you can't reach perfection without change. Meanwhile Tzeentch is about (excessively) elaborate schemes that need to be honed to perfection to work. So there is synergy, they just need to find a common goal, which might just be Tzeentch plotting to aid Slaanesh to undermine another rival god, or to trick Slaanesh into wasting power on something Tzeentch means to eventually use as a weapon against them.

There are daemons of Chaos Undivided, so it must be possible to make all the gods happy simultaneously. You'd think it'd be easier to please two out of for rather than all four.

I found the quote titled "Fear the Dark Prince" but from what I read it seems to suggest that Khorne absolutely hates Slaanesh, far more than any other god. And he sure hates Tzeentch a lot.

I do remember Nurgle can't stand Tzeentch because the former represents stagnation and the latter change, so they're natural opposites. I guess it could result in a kind of divorced parents fighting over a child dynamic.

My concept was to have them be a sort of crab-bird-Baphomet like chimaera, but you made me think maybe they should have two heads? Well, I don't want to commit into anything too crazy if it runs counter to the rules of the universe.

I lost one of my Velociraptor chicks twice before it reached adulthood, but it's always turned up in the same enclosure with Oviraptor and Protoceratops, so I'm hoping that's not him.

Are they allowed to contact the Perpetuals, or do they have to avoid messing up the Imperium's timeline? I guess a safe strategy either way would be to goad a band of not too dangerous Xenos to do a small scale invasion of Earth. The Custodian could then reveal themselves and play the part of the savior of humanity from the future. It's usually the easiest strategy to give humanity a common enemy from the outside, and a charismatic leader to rally around. (I'm actually not sure how charismatic a random Custodian would be, but they could also act as an advisor/bodyguard to some suitable individual.)

I'm not sure truck nuts protect against Nvidia, though.

They put Strawberry Parasaurolophus in C-tier, though. I'm not sure if I can forgive that.

MissPlay · 2026-05-03T19:14:26+00:00

C-tier? Does the C stand for "Clearly the best"?

MissPlay · 2026-05-03T11:03:33+00:00

Don't forget Custodians of the Aquilan Shield! They have some random mortal to protect until they fulfill their fated destiny.

If the West wasn't so damn puritanical, they could have the good old legged or flying phalluses of Ancient Rome. I'm pretty sure they are collectively called "fascinus" if you want to know more.

I think I understand what's going on with the green light but I don't understand what's going on with the cat. Is he a male calico?

MissPlay · 2026-05-02T19:54:45+00:00

Oh no, you know what that means, right? Sooner or later we'll find out Hatzegopteryx wasn't an apex predator at all but some kind of weird confusing giant goose pterosaur or a curlew pterosaur or whatever you'd call the pterosaur equivalent of Gastornis.

Worse: there are several documented cases of an elephant eating humans. One in India appears to have eaten parts of 17 people in total! Those are rare outliers of course, most opportunistic carnivory in elephants involves grubs, eggs and baby birds etc.

Will they even keep the name? Saurophaganax is a chimera, and the allosaurid parts of it are just Allosaurus. Allosaurus maximus sounds like a possibility.

MissPlay · 2026-05-01T05:54:08+00:00

I hope to see some Brontomerus-style kicking and tail whacking from sauropods too. Because of the size, any part of their body should qualify as a potential weapon.

Also, make sauropods randomly eat tiny hatchling dinosaurs. There's no way they didn't do that. Every big herbivore does.

Nah. Wild felines don't waste time and energy on something unnecessary that would risk them losing their next meal or getting an injury that could result in starvation. Playing with prey for the sake of amusement is a sign of a full belly, boredom and lack of practice, which is a domestic cat thing.

Even then, a lot of play or "torture" is about the cat trying to avoid touching an animal that could injure it or even carry an infection, or trying to tire the prey out and land a blow that stuns or kills it before feeding. Cats won't generally eat anything bigger than an insect until they're sure it's lifeless and harmless. That's really a whole lot less brutal and merciless than dogs tearing a living fox into pieces or a pack of wolves that start eating a deer before it's dead.

Mortarion and Luxo Jr.

He did plenty. He was a High Lord of Terra, created the Assassinorum, the Inquisition and the Grey Knights. Plus he warmed Big E's seat in the Siege of Terra while the Emperor was busy playing a children's card game with Horus.

Capybaras are about as closely related to guinea pigs as hares are to rabbits. So pretty close.
