Loesh Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes, there are other alien threats - the Imperium is beset on all sides, and that rocks - and Mankind versus Aliens has always been a theme. They're part of the midnight theme, too. But the absolute core of Warhammer 40,000 has always been Mankind against itself; humanity against the predations of Chaos; our species dooming itself. And Abaddon is the mortal incarnation of that: he's Satan coming back to take God's throne because the Lord disrespected His angels and gave souls to the monkeys. And because it's 40K, and we all know 40K's themes, Chaos will eventually, inevitably, win. Not in our games, but after them. In the hours after midnight. If that's true then I don't know if I can call myself a true 40k fan, since the notion of Chaos inevitably winning is genuinely revolting to me. Don't worry, it's equally possible we'll also get eaten by Tyranids. Feel better?

Wade Garrett Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Don't be absurd. Obviously we'll all be assimilated into the tau'va and live productive lives of unquestioning obedience to our Ethereal overlords.
