If 40k gets rid of Slaanesh what happens to the DE?

They continue raping and pillaging as they have been doing since before the Fall of the Eldar

I ask this since I don't want the DE to get sigmarrified and toned down. I'm interested in starting a DE army soon after my Tau. It would be pretty demoralizing to see them get toned down and made kid friendly. That would make two of some of my most favorite factions being changed recently (Necron lore is bleh now but I still like how they look).

What happened to the Necrons?

What happened to the Necrons?

They gained individual personalities, which wouldn't be so bad if the entire army hadn't lost its personality. Obviously it's boring to have them as just emotionless killers that want to exterminate all life, but if you're gonna give them emotions and individuality, don't remove the part about being killers who want to exterminate all life.

So they're not a big threat anymore because they can love now? What. That doesn't sound grimdark.

That's how it's written. Thanks, Mattard.

I like to think they are still omnicidal ultra-maniacal death machines, but some of them can now think for themselves, and have lost their empathy by their death.

Maybe they're setting this up so the Necrons can coexist with the other races. I meant, this conflict has to end one way or another, right?

Now the Necrons are primarily focused on rebuilding their Empire and each one has a different version they want to rebuild. Which would be fine and a massive improvment if not for the fact that they're becoming best-buddies with some factions.

Eg:

- Trayzen the infinite, great, love this guy, Ward deserves full credit.

- The Necrons becoming best friends 4eva with Blood Angels, not so great...

Blood Angels? I'm sorry, what. But Sphess Muhrines... why?

'cause Mattard plays with 40k like he does barbie dolls.

Absolute heresy. We don't make Necrons our friends. We make them tin foil.

Yes, it wins when one side kills everybody else. =]

But nobody is powerful enough to do that. Yet...

The Emperor will die, reincarnate, and beat face. Case close, gentlemen.

DE and CWE would have little reason to stay separate any longer.
'Light' Eldar could indulge, and Dark Eldar would have less reason to carry on as they do.
Harlequins would be out of a job...

So, some of the DE models would probably become redundant, too.

The Harlequin troups are not all focused on killing Slaanesh - the other ones focusing on fighting Necrons, or shaping the destiny of the Eldar, etc

DE do what they do because they like it - removing Slaanesh is not gonna changing anything.
