    Actually since the Tyranids are traveling across the void between galaxies at slower than light speeds. That would mean they have been travel to the Milky Way for millions of years. Which would make sense if it was the War in Heaven that got Hive Minds attention and not Pharos incident. Plus things like the destruction of Pharos beacon happened every other name during the War in Heaven.

    From the little we do know about outside the Milky Way galaxy is that it’s way worse than the current setting. The silent king is pretty much the only thing that’s left it, and from what we can learn from it is that is pretty fucking bleak. There’s either things so awful that they make what’s occurring in the setting look not that bad, or everything has been consumed by the Tyranids, which is also terrible.

Maybe it can even be set a century or two before the wars with the Men of Iron. Heck, the story could expand on the Men of Stone, Iron, and Gold, maybe even have some as characters we follow or companions.

    You can only kill a chaos god by removing the concepts that give them form in the first place, so for Khorne (as an example) you'd have to completely destroy his portfolio... So war, hatred, wrath, rage, murder, blood, strength, courage, and martial honor (according to the wiki, anyway). So basically you'd have to introduce a universe without violence. This is sort of the paradox of Chaos, and why the great game is the "great game" - the Chaos gods don't want to win, they want to keep the game stagnant for as long as possible without introducing change. Characters like Abaddon and Archeon are actually counter to the great game. It's why Archeon wasn't exactly the favorite child of the chaos gods, and when he succeeded he killed chaos.

    To be honest the Tau are so like what art we have for the Necrons they could just have been a dynasty of Necrons that didn’t end up being fed to the C’tan and so didn’t lose their biology. The Ethereals also act like the Dynasty leaders. Quite peaceful but willing to wage war if necessary. The greater good is exactly like Old One teachings. Maybe an Old One took some Necrontyr before/during the War in Heaven because their ideology states they want to preserve all life in the galaxy. This Old one then released the Tau/Necrons back into the galaxy. I mean look at their tech. Classic signs of what the Necrons were like pre-war in heaven.

Plus if it was that easy to make a god being why didn't the eldar or another xenos race try to make their own? I think a handful of Old Ones influenced and controlled the creation process then allowed themselves to be absorbed, which is why the Emperor is so OP.

    Not going to lie, I hate that theory. It stinks too much of the "Humanity, fuck yeah!" trend that absolutely infests fantasy settings. Far too often writers lean heavy on the humanity being "super special and awesome" compared to all the ancient and theoretically more powerful species. The D&D settings had it baked at least as far back as 1st Ed. AD&D. LotR had it. Warcraft has it. Warhammer both fantasy and 40K have/had it. Star Trek to a certain degree has it. As far as I know pretty much every major Sci-fi and fantasy setting places humanity as the mover and shaker. It's dumb and repetitive, obviously in my opinion. While I'm not a fan of just how dark and terrible Stephen Baxter's Xeelee Sequence is, at least humanity isn't king. In fact we get our teeth kicked down our throat pretty hard. Humanity being an after thought of the Old Ones, A-okay. Humanity as *the* weapon to set everything right? Hot garbage. I mean... if it wasn't pretty much every major setting that did it, it would be fine. The problem is, nearly every franchise/writer has done it. It's lazy.

    @@deltatea3192 while I disagree Warcraft makes humans any more special and awesome than other races, since they're never fighting without the aid of those races and aren't always the focus of things, I do agree that humans being treated as the best of the best has outgrown its welcome. it'd be a breath of fresh air if someone flipped the formula on its head to replace the importance on humans with the ascendancy of other races; orcs/orks, the undead or even demons.

    If you really think about it the Old Ones kinda screwed over every race they created, albeit unintentionally. Eldar: Sure, long lives and reincarnation is cool, but this eventually made their existence beyond boring which just made the birth of a hostile God inevitable. Pluss, making them hyper emotional makes keeping themselves in check more difficult. Krorks: They will never know peace since they can not exist without conflict to the point they will straight up die if they don't fight for a prolonged period of time, which makes them a danger to everyone around them. Jokaero: They can build OP technology but they lack the capacity to use it, in order to build a civilization of their own. Thuss they are doomed to always be taken advantage of by others. Hrud: Their time powers makes then unable to form meaningful relations with others and it even prevents them from settling in a world permanently. As a result they have to constantly migrate , which putts them and everyone around them in danger. Slann: If we go by Fantasy lizardmen rules. These guys are so hyped focused in doing what their creators would want , to the point they can't think for themselves

    1: the eldar being long lived and reincarnating didn't ruin their existence. It was the fact they advanced so much they ran out of obstacles. 2: let's not apply human morals and thinking to a race like the krorks when they and their descendants so very clearly thoroughly enjoy their lifestyle of forever fighting yet seeming to be nearly impossible to wipe out. as for the Slann, I'm fairly certain they do think for themselves because each one has to interpret the Great Plan and how best to pursue its ultimate goal. they think for themselves much like how completely loyal vassals attempt to figure out their own way or ways of achieving an end. some obviously prefer isolation whereas others, like Mazdamundi, are clearly more active, direct and violent in their operations. yet out of all of those, I think the Slann were the most screwed over because they were designed and programmed with a divine level of fanatic loyalty to the point they'll do nothing that'll go against their purpose even though it could actually help it in the long run. sorry if I got confusing during my rambling.

    Regarding 40k ripping off Halo with the theory about the Old Ones creating the Nids, wouldn't it be the other way around? 40k is much older than Halo, and the Nids themselves hit the shelves in 1993. Halo was first released in 2001, and even back then the Flood were seen like a Halo equivalent of the Nids or the Zerg from Starcraft. I'm pretty sure GW can use the Old Ones as the Nids' creators without much trouble from the Halo franchise.

They make a shadow in the warp which either suggests they're blanks, they have super blanks, or they have such control over the warp that they can just DO that. Which is reasonably capable of an Old One to create if you look at the Eldar and Kroks as an example. If this Old One is like the psyker of their race, he COULD be the hive mind, but something has to explain the complete 180 on it's attitude towards all life being sacred. 'Nids eat EVERYTHING and leave the rock barren. Maybe they store the "genetic" information?

    Oh I have done some serious deep dives into figuring out who or what the Old ones were, and from what I can piece together, the common view that the Old Ones were psychic toad people is incorrect. Mostly. The Eldar codex contained a passage in it's 4th edition that all but stated that the Old Ones were not a singular race, but MANY races.Several other passages from various Deathwatch supplements corroborate this. And they weren't very nice either, they apparently would create and destroy sapient life as they pleased, depending on whether or not they felt said life was either an asset or a liability/waste of time to deal with. From what I can gather, the Old Ones were like a much more psychically ascendant version of the Hierarchy from the Shakara comic series, if anyone is familiar with that (And if you aren't definitely look it up, it's a great read with great art!). The conception that the Old Ones are toad people is due to Warhammer Fantasy having the Slaan (And for a time 40k had them too in it's earliest editions, but they've been either retconned or simply dropped since) which were the first race created by the Old Ones in the Fantasy universe to oversee the Fantasy world. Another thing to note is that Humanity was *not* created by the old ones. Humans in 40k are a 100% all natural free range species, we managed to take over most of the galaxy without any help, baby!
