You Want Us to Fight the Tau?

Crack-crack-crack, crack-crack-crack.

The sound of chewing echoed endlessly through the Brass Citadel as the projections of the gods gathered once more within Khorne's domain.

Aside from Tzeentch, every god was holding something and chewing on it.

Khorne held a handful of crimson blood, Nurgle held a pot of bubbling soup, Zhou Yun held a Dorayaki, and Slaanesh held a penis.

They had believed nine-tenths of the claim that Tzeentch's scheme had made the Hive Mind consume the Source Blood Repository, but there was ultimately no concrete proof, and they had been unwilling to act rashly.

But when Zhou Yun moved, that damned bird beak of Tzeentch's was still shrieking something about how "everything was going according to plan." To the gods, that was practically a provocation.

That contradiction gave Tzeentch a tendency toward
