The problem is that technically the warp and chaos are one in the same. What you might be thinking of is entities that aren’t the four main chaos gods in the Warp.

I think the tau is more socialist? maybe even more accurate the think like maybe mocks? monks in a weird way combined with socialism at least from my understanding of some monks in the way tau they seek enlightenment from the greater good at least? don't quote me on any of this English is not my first language so I don't even know how to in Writing in English specify what I think tau is

@@ms.blackfire2927 the tau commie stuff mostly comes from the vague, ephemeral ideals of the Greater Good (lol like when people refuse the GG, it’s gg for them) where everyone is doing their designated task according to a council of unknowable elites [mixing the caste system with semi-soviet era bits atop east asian collectivism]. Adding dark strokes of paint to their lore was to try to help them fit in better as a big criticism early on was how the tau seemed like a cash in on the anime craze and they needed to bring in that younger audience but it didn’t mess well with the existing darkness of the setting and that they were too one-dimensional. Not sure on the tau sterilizing humans which miiiiiight be a meme (and/or Imperial propaganda) but if not, perhaps to control the influx of humans. I can see two big problems of having a lot of humans in tau space, 1: The Imperium can lose some people but if too many humans are on a planet they have more reason to aggressively claim it as theirs. Sure they claim the whole galaxy but with the small size of the tau empire the Imperium doesn’t need another excuse to stamp them out either “liberating” the humans or more likely, destroying everything for being traitorous filth. Right now the tau are mostly harmless to the Imperium if a slowly expansionistic ‘mostly harmless.’ Easily more trouble to erase them at present than they are worth but that would change if people start fleeing to other empires (plus tau models sell so they need them to keep existing) 2: psykers. Tau have zero clue handling space magic and humanity is full of potential walking warp rifts in the making. Sure, human psykers are rare, especially dangerous ones, but all it takes is one untrained and unbound psyker to doom a planet which the tau can’t afford due to their small size.

I'm a booby in Warhammer 40K but Necron don't have magic/warp power. That why they can't kill C'Tan however they have technology that could imprison immaterial being like the C'Tan and an eternal life of solitude is worse that a simple and quick death.

My favourite Space Marine Chapter is the Silver Skulls and their Chapter Master Trazyn is a pretty great guy, super interested in collecting curios though.

I think saying the Eldar are still going pretty strong is quite the overstatement.

Siege of Alaitoc and Invasion of Biel-tan proves Eldar are very weak

[@Mediados]

Trazyn awoke a small contingent of Lychguard and a few ships, and that was enough to raid an Exodite enclave. The Eldar have nothing left to defend themselves against the Necrons, which is exactly as they planned.

[@N0noy1989]

It's going to be Necrons if you include waking up all the sleeping Tomb worlds. They can already make insane new tech now (they didn't stagnate compared to humans) I'm sure they could come up with a whole lot more if they're united. Like the rival of Trazyn, forgot his name, can turn himself into pure energy. I'm sure they can turn their entire race into energy if the Silent King decides that's their future.

Another interesting interaction is with daemons, since while the necrons can hard counter them with pylon tech, it can also go the other way around. Daemons by their nature are semi-incorporeal so the advanced weapons of the crons don't always work. Daemons are also able to hijack the dimensional ouiblettes that are unassailable to other races, because or their interdimensional nature.

how to describe the Necrons: Skynet's second generation of technologically advanced Terminators, with their CPUs not set to "read only." they're scary enough as is, good thing they don't have Human/Necron hybrids yet, or hybrids in general. it'd be a whole other ball game at that point.

[@mitchmitting102]

"Don't have Human/Necron hybrids yet," *Laughs in Pariahs* oh wait they all walked off.....

[@palpadur1112]

@@mitchmitting102 bit of a long reply ahead. Pariahs do kind of count, but they're more machine than human. they have memories of who they used to be, but that's more or less it. unless i missed some lore about them that says otherwise, wouldn't be surprised if i did. i got into Warhammer 40k in the last few years of 7th edition. what i meant when i said hybrids (and also cyborgs) is that, Skynet had humans that were given cybernetic implants, or in the worst cases had their skeletons replaced with endoskeletons, organs removed and replaced with artificial ones, or the ones they already had were salvageable, removed and improved with advanced biological research. if you've seen Terminator Salvation, it was like that with a certain character, not going to spoil it in case you haven't seen the movie yet. but it didn't take long for it to become more advanced. said certain character is a hybrid, minus sharing a body with a machine. human and machine would sometimes, whether the human volunteered or there was no other choice for various reasons, work together. both human and machine using the body at the same time and improving the capabilities of the other. the Necrons can do this as well, and to some extent have, such as in the World Engine book, but we don't see them going much further than Pariahs and the augmented slaves in above mentioned book. it would take a while to go into detail on how much or how little both factions went, but some good sources are the above mentioned book for Warhammer, and any artwork you can find on "Necron Astartes/Space Marines." for Skynet in the Terminator franchise, some good sources are the game "Dawn of Fate," the Salvation movie as well as the comics that followed after it, a number of the T2 books, and some of the comics that are hard to find anymore. there's also the Dark Fate movie, they *did* stick to the original lore to some extent, at least.

Isn’t human tech based on necron tech thru the influence of the machine dragon? And therefor necron tech would be the most accessible zeno tech to a tech priest? Further, the dragon was on earth before the big E bested it, so all of human technological advancement may have been influenced. It’s more like discovering your roots, or maybe finding your fathers shotgun as a toddler when they inadvertently activate the murder machine worlds.
