I'm not really into pic replies, but this guy's appearance is perfect example of why I don't think the one option disqualifies the other!

Definite mutant/xenos/heretic/witch taint 10/10 would burn at stake again.

Also there is a lot of Eldar hate out here right now... I mean so much D in such little packages... its gonna cause some anger and some resentment.

3.) Unlike all other Xenos they can threaten Holy Terra without warning. An Eldar Craftworld could appear out of nothing-ness from a webway next to Terra. (Dark Eldar could as well but they don't posses large fleets like craftworld Eldar.)

There are more DE than there are CWE and they could appear right on Terra if they so chose. Ultimately though, having the IoM around and the near dead big E on the chair does nice things for the galaxy. Neither the DE or CWE would do anything to stop that.

Of course, ideally humanity or the imperium of man would want all Xenos exterminated without mercy but the Eldar should be the first. Who agrees?

Dropping operations against Chaos would result in the collapse of the IoM. It's been a 10,000 year war and Chaos is still in the fight. No faction can turn gains against humanity like chaos can. Whole SM Chapters, Navy Fleets, Guard Reginments, and Planets can turn in the blink of an eye. Civil wars are like that, they are always more dangerous than external threats.

I say the former. A genestealer cultist would convince us that the Imperium should power down its military. The chaos agent would clap his hands at seeing the forces opposed to chaos wipe each other out.

Power down the military, 40k the system is only military, many planets are wholely dedicated to supporting the military machine.

Indeed, fellow human beings! I am very glad we all agree that the Eldar are the least of our problems. Let us now drink some human alcohols and lower our guard for a while!

We can drink and you can lower your guard all night, baby. Don't worry, I can keep a secret, and I'm totally into the extra limbs.

**the ancient**

Humans and polls, pfft. Alien lovers the lot of you.
Theres a reason your traitorous votes doesnt count. You will do as your told and hate the alien. Anything else is heretical.
When the Eldar stick there pointy ears into human affairs, its not because theyre helping us, theyre using us. We dont need them, but they need us. They're parasites sucking the blood from the belly of the Imperium so they survive.
They helped screw up the advancement of the human race during the heresy, they killed the old world in fantasy. Why, all so they could reign supreme again with olives.
Those arrogant mother fethers need stomping into the dirt.

The greatest ork threat to human space is because of them, suspected to have created the annoyance of the Tau, wouldnt be surprised if they woke the necrons to fight the tyranids, divided the humans because they couldnt handle the fact they lost their little corner of the galaxy.

Yes the world would be a better place without the Eldar.

**DorianGray**

You are all fools, I'm trying to save humanity. If we don't send all our troops, fleets, and resources into hunting down every last Eldar we are doomed.

Most importantly, we should seek to destroy the spirit stones and the infinity circuits of the craftworlds. Spirit stones are crimes against nature. When living beings die they should all natural return their spirits into the wrap - spirit stones and the infinity circuit are a perversion of natural process of death.

If we can destroy the source of spirit stones and obliterate the craftworlds into floating wrecks it would please the universe greatly.

It will prevent the Eldar god from being created that will destroy all of chaos - I mean humanity and I'm sure the Emperor will favour it.

I do believe that the Inquisition needs to come clean up all this threads heresy.
The Apostles of the Dark Gods are spreading their lies as usual.

. Luckily for me I brought my aquilla and purity seals.

If anything deserves all the attention of the Imperium it is the 13th Black Crusade. Like seriously.

Pffff bad troll is bad

My reaction to this thread.
On Topic: Eldar are somewhere near the bottom end of my purging list. Crons, Nids and HERETIC SCUM are more dangerous to humanity's empire than SPESS ELFSES.

welcomes you!

**DorianGray**

My master will be most displeased at the opinion of this thread.

**gwarsh41**

Eldar have enough problems that are in the way of them taking over. First, they have Dark eldar, then there is their ancient enemy the necrons, who are one of the top contenders to completely win the 40k scenario (Tyranids, Orks, Necrons IIRC. All the armies with "unlimited" numbers) So good luck with that.

The imperium of man doesn't need to worry about a race that is concerned with it's own extinction.

**Kriswall**

I would say that the 'Nids are the biggest threat in the galaxy. The Necron Silent King actually returned from a self imposed exile to start battling the 'Nids in order to protect 'his' galaxy. In the fluff, the feeling is that he's using humanity as a shield to help protect the galaxy. Therefore, there is some behind the scenes protection going on.

The Orks want something to fight. If they crush a planet, they move on. They aren't conquerors. This gives time for the planet to rebuild before the Orks return again. Orks are more like a cyclical plague.

Chaos sort of requires humanity (or some other psyker resonant race) to flourish. The Chaos Gods also tend to play the long game. They don't seem to be actively trying to win. Sure, Abbadon wants to win, but you get the impression the Gods aren't 100% behind him (read the Bel'akor Dataslate for more).

'Nids, though... The Tyranids have successfully stripped entire galaxies of life. They leave ENTIRE GALAXIES as lifeless rocks. They are an indiscriminate plague that grows stronger with every planet it devours.

**luky7dayz**

My idea of the IOM extermination list would be:

1.Nids (largest numbers, galaxy wide threat)
2.Chaos (traitors are a personal scab that must be eradicated)
3.Necrons (It's not their galaxy. It's the Emprah's!)
4. Orks. (The large amount of them make them a threat, but while they only to fight, and not exterminate like all other races)
5. Eldar/Dark Eldar (Few in numbers, and already doomed. They belong very low)
6. Tau (The peaceful race, but wrong in Imperiums mind. They shall be exterminated last)

The problem with Eldar are is that they already have a foot and soul in the grave. 90% of them are dead, 5% of them are crazy drug induced monsters, 3% of them are there to change the problems they made in the galaxies, and the last 2% are simply enslaved to the dark eldar. The Eldar threat is non-existent

**Tyran**

The Tau aren't peaceful, but they are definitely at the bottom of the list.

**Jehan-reznor**

Eldar attacking earth through the portal that was destabilized because of Magnus? Eldar hate humans because they are surpassing them, yes eldar are technological superior but they would lose a war of attrition. Too many mon-keigh!

The greatest evil is the Craftworld Eldar. The reasons for them are listed here:

1.) They hate humans and certain craftworlds live to only restore the evil Eldar Empire
2.) They pose a greater threat than the Tyranids because of their advanced technology.
3.) Unlike all other Xenos they can threaten Holy Terra without warning. An Eldar Craftworld could appear out of nothing-ness from a webway next to Terra. (Dark Eldar could as well but they don't posses large fleets like craftworld Eldar.)
4.) They possess immense physic powers that can overwhelm any non-Xenos
5.) Inherently imperialist, arrogant, and aggressive - this is the Eldar way.

They are a ticking time bomb as they conspire to retake the galaxy and ensalve humanity. The threat is so great that the Imperium should drop all their operations against Chaos, Orks, Necrons, and even Tyranids to hunt down and slaughter every single craftworld and obliterate them.

I have to strongly disagre, the eldar have no real reason to attack terra, in fact fluff wise the imperium has the better relationship with the eldar than any other xenos (I know that's not saying much but still) and the losses the eldar would take would be basically. In fact I think they would make good allies or at least have some kind of truse as the eldar don't really pose a direct threat meaning the imperium doesn't really have a reason to completly wipe them out (aside from old fashioned xenophobia).

There certainly bigger threats to the imperium than the eldar.

**commander dante**

What OP forgot is that the Officio Assassinorum is on terra...
And there is an entire section devoted to Psychic Blanks that cqn ultimately screw over eldar

**koooaei**

6). They're all riding scatbikes

**zgort**

Eldar is probably the lowest threat. Even the Eldar know without the Imperium they are toast. Imperials are keeping what would DEMOLISH eldar busy. I'd say nids seem the most apocalyptic.

That was some of the best fake Imperial propaganda I've ever read
