Just a general longing to play WHO
My longing has evaporated since I read that the Chaos Warhost is going to be entirely Tzeentch, my second least favourite Chaos god alongside Mr Pointless aka Slaanesh.
Although I understand that making the Warhost as Chaos Undivided would've been a challenge to create all the different armours, but this news still sucks and has killed my interest in the game.
Fuck Tzeentch. Fancy-armoured spellcasting fags.
But Nurgle's probably one of my favourites too.

I might make an Orc and roleplay him, just because it's so much fun to talk like that.

Demos had this to say about Captain Planet:
IIRC though, Slaanesh has a lot more backstory with the Eldar. I can't recall exactly what it is though; my old codex is back at my old house, not my apartment.
No Eldar in WH Fantasy. 
Ha ha! I'm a fucking nerd.
Anyway, in both cases, he did come about as the result of some fruity Elves.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure he emerged after the fall of the eldar due to their decadence. Or something. In 40k.
Their wanton hedonism and invasive use of the warp gave birth to slaanesh in a titanic explosion that created the eye of terror. The original eldar worlds became the twisted "crone worlds" floating around the eye, ruled by the chaos factions.
Any time any eldar enter the warp for any reason, there is a chance that their soul will be ripped out of them by Slaanesh, and the souls of all dead eldar are ultimately consumed by Slaanesh. To prevent this, the eldar use the wraithbone infinity circuts to capture their souls after death and preserve them inside the craftworlds. Dark Eldar, on the other hand, choose to preserve their mortal form for as long as possible by consuming souls of other eldar themselves.
Slaanesh is a hermaphrodite, but the eldar refer to her as female. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 04-19-2007 at 02:14 PM.

x--DemosO-('-'Q) :
My favorite part of eldar lore was about the Harlequins that traveled the warp anyway.
The harlequins pretty much live in the Webway, which is like a labrynth of tunnels through the warp. I'm pretty sure it's safe there, since it's what the eldar use for their warp gates, and only the laughing god knows it in it's entirety. It's a hard set series of tunnels though, no warping anywhere you want, and once a webway gate is closed it can never be reopened.
(The original intention of the humans Astronomican was to map the webway to find the Black Library, but these plans were cut short when the Horus Heresy happened and the golden throne had to be repurposed to keep the emperor alive)
When a harlequin dies, the eldar Laughing God battles Slaanesh for their soul, so they are exempt from the usual fate of the eldar to live in the infinity circuit. Among the harlequins, only the solitaires have to worry about being eaten when they die. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 04-19-2007 at 04:44 PM.

Yeah, the Emperor made it so that humanity could conquer the webway.
The Emperor will die eventually, even if it takes several million years, and when he does his form in the warp will be strong enough to annihilate every enemy of mankind. In his mortal form he caused all four Chaos gods to flee from Horus with a single psionic spear, the only way Horus maimed him was because the Emperor still loved his wayward son and pulled his blows until he realised Horus could not be saved.
So unless the Emperor's soul is consumed (for example, by a C'tan) humanity wins by default. Even if it takes a long-ass time.
The necron and C'tan are basically warp-immune and, as indicated, C'tan could consume the emperor.
Tyranids could assemble the emperor's entire genome by consuming the corrupted primarchs and become an equally powerful warp force.
Orks are also sorta disassociated from the warp and still scary in their own right. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 04-19-2007 at 05:40 PM.
