Chaos Corruption Deep Dive, How Do the Chaos Gods Corrupt other Races in

[@justanotherinquisitor7962]

While Rotnids sound cool in theory, they usually don't last long due to how the Nids work. Once those infected Nids connect to another Hivemind, they'll just either get healed, karked, or just melted to biomatter.

How I despise Scrap-code. In possibly older lore now. Only Admech stuff created Scrap-Code. Only Admech gear was Effected by it too. Scrap-Code is one of the more egregious of GWs changing things. Its getting over used. Just like the 'nid can/maybe eat/absorb Necrodermis. So the 'nids have gone from biomass to refined super metals. Whats next, Adamintium clad and boned, 'nids?

[@entropicflux8849]

okay but why wouldn't it? they scour planets for mineral resources which i've always assumed meant nuclear material (much more efficient for energy than biomass, and you need something like that for interstellar slow travel) and metals which are no doubt used to create exoskeletons that can resist tank rounds and teeth that can pierce ceramite.

[@Yandarval]

@@entropicflux8849 That is why I mention refined metal. I have little problem with ore. It’s the mission creep, shall we say. To me, it’s like a Locust swarm deciding to eat cars and lampposts out of the Blue. As well as still eating the stuff they have always eaten.

[@entropicflux8849]

@@Yandarval that's exactly what we're talking about: locusts that ended up eating everything because they already ate everything else, right? the mission has crept until there is nothing but hunger so powerful it's become a psykic force in and of itself.

@@entropicflux8849 Yet I don’t believe that ‘bids have been stated to go for copious amount of metal ores. It’s generally displayed as all biological matter down to the microbial level. Then the planet is left as effectively a big asteroid. If they were after all minerals. The planet would be an asteroid belt when the finished. When all the planetary mass has been sorted though.

[@entropicflux8849]

@@Yandarval i believe that you are mistaken, and i would invite you to revisit the topic. the consensus is that they prefer biomass for some reason (obvious, because if they didn't then they would just harvest space minerals) but that they are not stupid and in fact very smart, and of course metabolize uranium and nickel and iron because they already can do so. the tyranids are smart enough to send a zoanthrope into a craftworld to eat soulstones. of course they are smart enough to realize that uranium has a bajillion more calories in it than a corpse. they are harvesting biomass for some special purpose unrelated to pure calories, some psykic element i would guess, but that wouldn't even be enough to support interstellar slow-speed travel times let alone the ultra evolution and production process of the tyranid system. this is why the worlds they leave behind are bereft of even mineral resources and are truly dead worlds. probably just carbon and other abundant and worthless elements. they obviously *would* use necrodermis if at all possible, but since necrons don't have the souls that most of the creatures targeted by tyranids have, who knows how much they will actually care about it.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

How come I never see anyone comment about a possible Necron and Imperium alliance? It seems to me they both have something the other side wants, for the Necrons it's Space Marine vessels and for the imperium its a defense against the forces of the warp and the Tyranids. They even have a way of making the Emperor a physical and active being again by simpy encompassing him in a necrodermis and blackstone body. Plus the mechanicus has deep technological ties to the C'tan who gave the Necrons their current level of technology. I know about the xenophobic tendencies of the Imperium of Man but circumstances change and they could easily come back to an alliance with other races. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, this setting isn't beyond old tropes like that.

[@bendysbrother7447]

The issue with this isn't even the humans xenophobia, its actually the necron's xenophobia. They despise everything that isnt a necron, seeing them as little primitive creatures staking claim over a galaxy that doesn't belong to them. The necrons are kinda the old guy saying get off my lawn, and see the galaxy as their front yard, with everyone else being the small kids who keep kicking their ball into his yard. The only necron to actually appreciate anything about other races is traezyn the infinite.

idk about T'au. its been made a point that the chaos gods don't give an effort to corrupt the T'au as they are useless to their cause. furthermore T'au have went through the warp many times without any problems, the only sense of danger they've ever encountered were auxillaries turning on them or daemons boarding their ships. not to mention even though its rare, T'au do encounter chaos inflicted beings, mostly that of death guard, and there has not been a single chaos infected T'au coming out of these battles. of course I may be wrong, I'm just voicing that T'au effortlessly go through the warp and its kind of strange hearing that the taint of the warp mutates them as the warp is full of warp power.

i can see slanesh corrupting some isolated nids trough hunger, like a small isolated buntch of nids, maybe some gene stealers or some nids left behind after some botched invasion atempt, by starving the nids the hunger becomes so intense that it becomes an overwelming feeling, after a bit of canibalism the last starving nid gets a blessing from slanesh that alow it to scape its sircunstance and go out to the galaxi, to be hungri for ever in a sort of unknowingly reverence to slanesh

Are the spores emitted by chaos orks also tainted by chaos? If this is the case orks could be a really easy way of spreading chaos taint. Ork spores make getting rid of them so difficult, if they were chaos orks it'd be even worse (or better for chaos). It'd also mean a potentially limitless chaos fighting force as they can just keep rapidly growing more unlike with humans that take longer to replace. A chaos ork planet could just keep pumping out more Waaaghs constantly.

I agreed with all of it except the orks. Everything you described flies directly in the face of established Ork lore. I'm not saying corruption doesn't happen, but it's so rare it might as well as not. Orks ARE protected from corruption by both Waagh energy and Gork and Mork. And Gork/Mork would absolutely cull any corruption they can simply because it's not Orkish.
