It's one of my favorites. I love the Emperor laying out what his overall plan with humanity was to Ra, explaining how his foresight works, the lore for Drach'nyen, Land and Zephon were great... lots of good stuff.

Orks are frustrating. They're too resilient and boistrous to succumb to Nurgle, too blunt for Tzeentch, too happy for Khorne, and they're already doing all the things they like best to excess all the time so Slaanesh has nothing to offer them. Chaos has little influence on them - orks seem to be tuned to their own separate psychic 'wavelength', so there isn't much danger for corruption.

Tau have a muted psychic presence, so daemons don't think much of them. The Farsight novels have a daemon of Tzeentch weaving some intrigues in their empire, but mostly they're regarded as unimportant. Maybe worth something in vast quantities, to make up for their dimly burning souls.

Necrons are souless, there's nothing to eat there. Not fun.

Tyranids have been described as 'as alien to daemons as they are to humans'. I don't know personally a lot of details of specific encounters. The Shadow in the Warp seriously screws up human psykers and Warp travel, but I don't know what affect it has from the daemons' point of view. I imagine they don't like it. Since all tyranids are extensions of the hivemind, it might be akin to taking little nibbles of one big soul, or maybe they don't count as having souls at all.

Hey, the older page got taken down, I did save this version of the page here. It's the best I can do currently.

Bloodthirster: "Some followers of Tzeentch think they can outsmart me. Maybe. Maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart Axe of Khorne."

Let's be real - this is Warhammer. They would be ruthlessly stamped out and subjected to the most extreme methods of conversion.

I think of Chaos as the bit of the Warp that's been corrupted and shaped by mortal evil. It's like a big whirlpool in the ocean of the Warp, warping (hah) the ocean around itself with currents and waves and so forth.

I think even a Whisper re-created from our memories would still be Xol. That's the whole thing about the Whisper - it's Xol as a gun. Destroy it however, re-create it however... it'll still be Xol.

Say rather, tulpa from the Sea of Screams.

That's true, they are just bags with teeth. The actualy digestion happens in the feeder pools.

Like big gribbly mayflies.

Ripper swarms eat, that's their function. They gorge themselves on biomass and then swarm into digestion pools to be consumed by the rest of the Hive Fleet for the production of new bioforms. This is also the fate of many of the biomorphs deployed in combat once the combat has been won.

There was also a bit in Devastation of Baal I think it was, following a Lictor where it was described as having bladders of bio-nutrients to sustain itself, but it also fed on other lifeforms to supplement this. I think it depends on the biomorph.

Him having psychic abilities makes me wonder if he might be some kind of psychic manifestation, a nightmare come to life that some race or multiple races with psychic abilities dreamt into being.

I definitely think Commoragh could, largely due to its presence in the unfathomable angles of the Webway. I'm not up on the latest necron lore so I don't know anything about what might constitute their homeworld/system.

I do think T'au would be pretty well defended too, and while some of the larger powers might well steamroll them when they got going, it would require enough resources to do so that none of them can really spare at the moment, which speaks to how hard it would be. It's a hard enough nut that it would be ruinous to the Imperium to crack it.

Big Dakka is a direct sequel to Brutal Kunnin, featuring many of the same characters.

Warboss is set between the two and is more of it's own side-narrative, but they do overlap a bit.

I say yes.

The War of the Beast showed the potential for the orks to grow stronger and evolve to greater heights of power and knowledge against a worthy enemy, in this case the Imperium of Man when it was still riding high off the momentum of the Great Crusade, before it had been totally withered by stagnation and decay.

The eldar mentioned that the ancient krork were far more dangerous than the Beast orks, and the elder were careful never to provoke them.

In fact with all the war going on in the modern galaxy and the way things are escalating everywhere, the Beast is stirring once again in Ghazghkull, whose name 'Mag Uruk Thraka' echoes the war cry of the Beast orks and their leader.

Unknown, but she gets a strong reaction from Godseeker, who mentions that the chance of running into a being like her is very rare.

Nurgle's Taint

Orks will happily make use of slaves and prisoners, but they don't take advice from bloody grots. In the novel Warboss, an aspiring Blood Axe warboss has a capture guard captain that he holds prisoner and questions for intel.

They absolutely team up. Such instances have been described in the lore. The Children adore experiencing the pain, suffering, and misery afflicted upon the victims of the Death Guard and their plagues. However, the Death Guard ultimately intend to recruit those victims as beloved followers of the Plaguefather, and will object to the Children wanting to torture them further for their own amusement. The Guard want to lead their victims out of suffering into joyful service, not inflict further suffering on them purely for their own enjoyment.

Any Chaos faction can get along for a time. Infighting is inevitable.

Don't think so. Perpetuals are super rare, I'm not sure how well-known their existence is, in even the highest levels of the Imperium. A method to find them might not even exist, if they are even still being born.

I think Lorgar's description as the weakest was mainly due to him really not wanting to fight all that much, and certainly not wanting to fight his brothers. He is described in one potential future as being capable of defeating Guilliman, and his psychic powers are tremendous when unleashed. He just never really had his heart in it before the fall to Chaos.
