While daemons are in the warp, what do they do?

Also do they have any basic needs like the need to eat or drink, and if they don't, can they still do that?

If they're made of negative emotion and what not, I get the impression that the big gods crap them out and they only get bigger or more special when they're gifted more. We know they fight against each other a lot, according to their master's whims. It talks about Slaaneshi daemons eating soul stones. I don't know if it's any more fleshed out beyond that. They're obviously sentient since they can rebel (i.e. Skarbrand).

true but skarbrand only rebelled because of Tzeentch messing with his head

True, but he's just upset because he misses his "Khornypoo." Yes, I just said that. The Masque had a Westside Story caliber dance fight with some Harlequins and lost, then got embarassed too

yeah...most of the anger issues from many of the daemons spawn from there own epic fails

Kugath: Drank too much from papa nurgles cauldron
Skarbrand: got screwed over by Tzeentch
Masque: tripped in a the intergalactic version of dancing with the stars and had a hissy fit.

the rest of the named dont have such problems...i think but these are just the ones with epic fail status in my book...and the codex lol

I would think they would go about fighting each other, like how bored brothers compete in games like chess, but with more randomness.

that is basically what they do. If i remember correctly they fight between each gods realm. So in the wastelands of chaos where furies dwell.

That's correct, though they do lay seige to eachother now and again. Never to any avail however...

Anyway, to answer the question, in the warp the laws of "reality" are just too fethed to make it an answerable question. However, after they possess some poor bloke, they can eat and drink (or not) to their hearts content.

Slaaneshi Demons screw each other, Nurgle Demons sniff each others' rear ends, Tzeench Demons drink coffee and discuss how nobody understands them, and Khornate Demons make Tony Montana look like an amateur in the "who can make the white powder disappear fastest?" competition.

I think the only reason slaaneshi daemons eat soul stones is out of malevolence. You probably find that all daemons do it for an evil kick every so often.

They don't really do anything, they are just manifestations of emotions and do as they are commanded or what they feel compelled to. (Usually slaughter on a sliding scale)

They fight each other for one, but really they are constantly traveling from the warp to go to war since time has no bearing at all in the warp. So you finish one battle or are killed then you are reborn for what is to you right away, but in reality it may be 500 years later or 50k years in the past.
