Dark Eldar: Whatever the hell they feel like

Or indeed Whoever they feel like

There's a few examples of dark eldar eating raw flesh. I'd assume it's not always cut from dead things. I'd also expect the Emperor's Children to eat only the finest things they can get their hands on. Nutrient paste is definitely a thing, though you can get raw meat from agri worlds.

Do any other race besides IoM have famous alchoholic beverages? For example, the SW have their Mjod/fenrisian ale which is strong enough to get a space marine tipsy. I can't really see the orks having their own beverages, instead just raiding anything they find from other factions, if orks are even interested in alchohol (I'm assuming so, but I don't know for a fact)

Fungus beer

Ah, appetizing. I'll take a large glass of that, please. So, is that derived of squigs, or like dead orks or something? I can see the orks not really caring which of those it came from, so maybe all of the above?

From mushrooms. Orks have big fungus farms I believe. And then they eat squigs. I kinda love ork society

Yeah, one of my favorite factions, well thanks for the answers, but some sleep would do me good right about now, so I will have to come back to this at a later time.

Yeah, I would like to play them if it weren't for all the models!

I remember something about ultra smurfs or blood angles enjoying fine wines

Ork eat squigs - big Squigs eat Orks

Squigs also grow from ork spores that get too much sun.

Novels: Priests/Lords/whatever of Mars mentions Dammassine as fancy liquor.
As I searched, it really exist and it came from France.

Well, considering they are all a kind of fungus, it is probably not too different from eating mushrooms


Also, Space Marines eat their own crap.

I believe it comes from one of the BL books about Uriel Ventris, by Graham McNeill.

there are a few other sources. basicly power armor takes your waste and recycles it into nutrients.

basicly you pee into a bottle and the bottle removes the abd icky stuff and takes the water.

Yup, orks were designed to be fully independent. So even if the spores landed on a totally desolate and lifeless rock they could survive. The fungus forms the basis of a food chain. Squigs eat the fungus, orks eat the squigs and the fungus, and life goes on.

Orks are amazing. Why can't humans be like orks?

Because orks need more thongs to crush

Edit:Things not, well, you know.

Yeah I'm not sure to exault the post or run in horror.

It deserves both.

In Siege of Castellax, chaos slaves are fed their dead that were dissolved into their purest form if proteins and whatnot.

According to Forge of Mars, the Ark Mechanicae are supplied this way as well.

that's amusing considering how part of the plot of siege of castellax was a rebellion from the peons when they discovered that their evil heartless Iron warriors overlords where feeding them the dead, but the 40k RPGs even have a common ration called corpse starch. they're never clear on what it REALLY is

Wolves = MEAT! and SUPER BEER

Orks = Squigs, squig beer, and pretty much all types of meat

imperial guard = nutrient paste, amasec

space marines = nutrient paste

tyranids = everyone (except necrons)

chaos = I guess humans

Necrons = souls(?)

Beat me to it
