	AKA Tribal societies that worship Chaos. Unlike a cult, a Chaos Tribe is like a community of family that engages in the worship of Chaos, meaning they have proper rules and structure that allows them to breed young blood, making them more sustainable than a cult. These children will be educated in the way of Chaos at an early age, making them far more devoted. One downside for a tribe is that unlike a cult, they do not function within an Empire, meaning they are completely on their own in the harsh wildness, with little supplies of rations and material that could be obtained with just [[money]]. Living in this kind of lifestyle however makes them tougher than a typical Chaos Cultist, but at the same time makes them unfamiliar to useful concepts such as alliance or trading, and they typically lack the knowledge that is necessary to use certain technologies (EX. firearms, handheld communication device). In 40k, they are mostly found on undeveloped worlds like Feral Worlds or Death Worlds, whereas in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle\|fantasy]], they can be found in [[Norsca\|lands with harsh climate]], or [[Chaos Wastes\|regions with high Chaos corruptions]] (aka places humans rarely want to set foot on). There are also cases where a cult operates inside a tribe, and most of the time it's a Khorne cult.		AKA Tribal societies that worship Chaos.

	At least, that's what you think. In reality, you've just exchanged one form of miserable existence for another one that somehow manages to be '''even worse''' and have become part of the problem of why it sucks to live in the Milky Way Galaxy. But on the bright side, the Ruinous Powers will mess with your mind to the point you will neither notice nor care that your neighbor is adding your spouse's skull to the Khorne shrine and that the nice [[Daemonette]] you've been sleeping with is in the process of hollowing your soul out to make your body nice and comfy for the time she decides to take over. This is of course assuming someone else doesn't grab you for a ritual sacrifice, or you don't get used as a meatshield by your Chaos Space Marine "liberators".		At least, that's what you think.

Or you'll get incredibly lucky and the Warband coming is the kind that genuinely sees itself as liberators and honestly believes Chaos is for all humans to be uplifted by. In which case it's an ironically twisted form of the Great Crusade era liberations.

	On the other hand, many Chaos cults seem to not be all that weird or crazy on the surface: this is by design and serves to lure in people who wouldn't jump down the rabbit hole if they knew how deep it went. It also does wonders in throwing off any nosy Arbitrators who might think it's only a rather eccentric social club or one of the more unusual branches of the Imperial Cult. Chaos worshippers may be crazy, but they're not idiots about it.

1d4chan>Newerfag: I can't recall Malal even having any cults mentioned, in 40k or Fantasy.

	Paradoxically, which is appropriate for Tzeentch, he also attracts those who dare to hope.

Throngs fall to Tzeentch's sway just for the prospect of having a second loaf of bread.		Paradoxically, which is appropriate for Tzeentch, he also attracts those who dare to hope.

	~~===Malal Cults===~~
	[[Malal]] cultists are quite unique since their numbers are very low; which makes sense since <s>he doesn't exist</s> his followers come from those who seek to escape their current chaos cult (in the eye of terror no less) and somehow have the ability to escape to Malal's protection in the first place.
	The only people who would be insane enough to join a Malal Cult are those who spend their entire lives climbing up the ranks of chaos until one day they go.......... [[Wat\| meh this isn't for me]], which as you can tell would limit the recruitment pool quite a bit.

	But wait there's more! The lifestyle offered by Malal is somehow even shittier! If you choose to enter a Malal cult then you will get to spend the rest of your life living in a perpetual state of self hatred while Malal [[Dark Eldar\| slowly but surely kills you by quietly eating your soul]] assuming one of his [[Sons of Malice\| chosen don't decide to slowly kill you by quietly eating your flesh!]]

	~~However there are some small benefits to joining a cult of Malal, all of which involve dying and spiting the other four chaos gods:~~
	* Ex followers of Khorne will at least get to die in a state of peace and tranquility.
	* Ex followers of Tzeentch will at least get to die on their own terms.
	* Ex followers of Slannesh will at least get to die safe in the knowledge that their soul will simply disappear into nothing, instead of spending an eternity in Slannesh's BDSM dungeon
	* And finally ex followers of Nurgle will get to die after having a nice bath.

	~~You can think of it as a retirement home for the Chaos Cultists. So if you like the idea of a bittersweet ending after a literal lifetime in hell, sign right up!~~
