Yvraine and her sub faction are a weird case and skub for that reason. We are supposed to believe dark eldar of all people can turn a new leaf after being told of some prophecy.
Teehee i have tortured and raped millions of people in the worst ways possible for centuries whilst living a purely selfish and hedonistic lifestyle but i'm totally good and clean now, trust me, i don't even wear people's faces as bras anymore (hell until yvraine's backstory I didn't even know it was possible for eldar to just bounce from being a craftworld banshee to a wych so casually).
That new faction is really dumb, yep. They were supposed to be a fucked up death cult that was meant to kill every eldar to summon a warp god to kill the previous warp god they spawned into existence, and see nothing wrong with that plan. Now though it sounds like an excuse to unify all eldar into one banner (because it is).
In before Age of Sigmar 2.0.
-star trek utopia phase ends when galactic travel breaks down and almost all alien species take advantage to utterly buttrape humans, setting the scene for their future xenophobia
Supposedly Men of Iron, aka discount mass produced Terminators, went rogue and caused a Dune against humies.
There are rumors that the Eldar made the formerly controlled not-Terminators that humies had go crazy and thus destroy the human faction, because they saw them as a potential threat or because they could.
Other (dumb) rumors say that these kill-bots went crazy because apparently one of their components was shaped as a star and that was enough for them to be chaotically possessed.
-emperor kills his proto space marines and makes real space marines (additions like longer lifespans and resistances to environmental effects made them more suitable for intergalactic campaigns)
I read another (and saner) theory that he repurposed them instead as SM.
-emperor leads his space marines on a space jihad to exterminate (almost) all aliens and absorb whatever leftover human breakaways existed
To be fair, most of the current alien races are lol-evil and deserve it.
The only acceptable boobs in the setting are from the big-boobed space nuns.
No you can't see them. Or touch them. Or do anything with them. Be happy they exist.
The Emperor protects. His boobs. Those are his.
Bolter Bitches can marry, actually.
I wouldn't be surprised if shutting down a diplomatic route would mean no support (or would mean increased interference) from the xenos. Then again, I also wouldn't be surprised if having a diplomatic relations with the xenos could bite you in the ass at some point (at least enough for you to be a nuisance). There are already theories related to diplomacy and the possiblity of having a Space Marine in your party, and I assume there could be more subtle things, provided developers decide to go down that path (and they should - as a Rogue Trader you ought to have the option to do criminal stuff too. It's part of the fun).
I would like it if being a good buddy with the eldar follower ends up with her inevitably betraying you anyway, because that's what they do. They're arrogant to the point of stupidity.
Necrons have the most advanced technology. Seriously, some really OP shit.
Agreed, although Dark Age Tech is also stupid crazy, such as teleporting projectiles into enemies or so I read.
Weren't Baneblades supposed to be DAoT light tanks?
Orks basically scale to infinity don't they? If the bozz can keep a WAAAGH going for long enough, they will all get bigger and stronger and their "belief" magic will just become stronger as well?
Yeah there was an ork version of Emperor (sort of but not really) called the Beast, he spawned from the biggest WAAAGH to date. He was ridiculously big and the only way they could kill him is by sacrificing primarch in the process.
Dumb thing that shouldn't exist, as it made Orks into Alien Space Marines.
IIRC orks were dangerous because they used to have "brainies" that allowed the Old Ones to control them with precise moves.
The only real way to defeat chaos is to either starve them out completely or seal the warp from reality (so a tyranid or necron win) or to reset the warp to factory settings.
I would say that if you killed all of Chaos' followers, and stomped down on any extreme acts of evilness and/or debauchery, the Chaos Gods would indeed starve to death.
A "normal" life can't satisfy them.
But it depends on the writer. In the first edition eldar could ally with humies and even interbreed, supposedly.
