We can tell that chaos = evil because when chaos shows up they enslave what little of the populace is left after Khorne's berserkers are done slaughtering, Nurgle's marines are done plaguing, Tzeenches sorcerer's are done turning them into things, and Slaanesh's followers are done [censored] and [really censored] and [censored, Im really not kidding] to them.

The bible angle might be true as far as you take it. You neglect, however, to finsh the story to where the fifth horseman appears with his crew and kicks the dogsnot out of all the evil that's mentioned up to the point of his entrance on the scene. This cleans the canvas, so to speak for the good to emerge..

If what you say is true, then by conjecture the fifth power might be just biding it's time in the warp, waiting for the fullness of time so everyone can have a fair chance to be fully declared one way or the other.

This 5th Horseman could also be the Emperor. He has a kind of "Lamb" quality about him. You know, guiding and teaching Humanity, trying to bring about a new order, and then being "killed" for his troubles. If the Emperor "returns", then you could have the beginning of the "final battle". I wouldn't mind, but I am Christian, so I shouldn't.

As far as the fluff being related to the Bible, though, I don't see GW trying to follow it very well. If they did, then they might make a bunch of gamers mad....imagine that!!!

It may be like the Matrix. The Matrix was "inspired" by the Bible, but a bunch of other stuff as well.

You never know...

How exactly are the Chaos gods based on the four horsemen? Khorne and Nurgle fit fine, but which horsemen are Tzeentch and Slaanesh?

We can tell that chaos = TOTALLY AWESOME because when chaos shows up they enslave what little of the populace is left after Khorne's berserkers are done slaughtering, Nurgle's marines are done plaguing, Tzeenches sorcerer's are done turning them into things, and Slaanesh's followers are done [censored] and [really censored] and [censored, Im really not kidding] to them.

Fixed your typo.

That's where the comparison always breaks down, although really, Khorne is the only one that's truly analogous :

The Red Horse = War - fits Khorne.
The White Horse = Victory? Conquest? Christ? Antichrist? - no easy fit.
The Black Horse = Famine? Injustice to the poor? - again, no easy fit.
The Pale Horse = Death by war, plague, etc. - maybe Nurgle?

What happened to all the "good demons" in the Warp?

They got eaten by the evil ones...
"Hey look - there's a pretty unicorn of HOPE! and there's a Bloodthirster. SLORCH!" 'nuff said.

Part ofthe problem is that evil begets evil, and good begets good. Unfortunately - it's a little late for the 40k verse. Evil's ahead by QUITE the margin.
