This week we take a look at the forces of Chaos and offer advice on running the various cults and followers of the 4 main chaos gods in your games. We also offer advice on using Beastmen in more interesting ways than just random brutes.

Just gave this a listen earlier today, and I have to say that there is some great advice on making use of Chaos in one's games.
Although your comments about the Joker as an avatar of Chaos Undivided did lead me to consider what could be a fun it could be to have the villain use Chaos as a red herring. In short, dropping various clues that would point to a Chaos cult (or several) being involved in various nefarious doings when the true culprit is nothing more than simple human greed/desire.

Good ep, but the sound dropped out a few times for me.
Re using the chaos gods, am I right in thinking they represent essential human needs/impulses? As such their impulses can be used for (what would seem to us today) good things as well as bad?
Khorne is violence and anger, no matter to what use it is put, Tzeentch is change, both constant andf meaningless, but also societal and scientific development. So any group proposing even good changes to how the empuire is run may be following Tzeentch.
I can't recall how they all fit in to this model, but it could be useful in muddying the waters of who is "Good" and who is "evil" in the Warhammer World.
What do people think?
Also, Hi! First post!

Actually Psychman, the official background fluff for the Warhammer setting pretty much has each of the Chaos Gods tied to a positive aspect as well as the standard negative aspects they are known and reviled for.
I definitely recall that Tzeentch = Hope (ability to change things for the better), but I don't recall the others. Maybe it's mentioned more in Tome of Corruption (which being strictly a player I've not read).
