Do they have some chance to escape from Slaanesh when they enter Warp?
And what Slaanesh is exactly doing with them?

No. And you don't want to know what Slaneesh is doing to them.

1.) No
2.) Torturing to the extreme in the Palace of Slaanesh

I am still wondering if Brother Croa is a real person or just a spambot fed with the 40k Codices and randomly constructing 5 question threads per day from the text files. Like someone is running a field test on a Jeopardy program.

I don't know about the first part, but Slaanesh is likely cuddling the souls and making sweet little baby half-Slaanesh half-Eldar-souls once they get to know each other.

Then, after Slaanesh has gotten his fill of consensual nookie - cause he's not a bad guy, really, just quite affectionate - he lets them move on to be recycled as a new Eldar's soul. Of course, since Slaanesh loves Eldar souls, he never gets tired of luffing them, and so none have been allowed to move on to a new soul form - though they of course don't want to, since Slaanesh is really quite lovable.

Mmm, that made this thread a lot happier. ^_^ All better now!

No, at least, not confirmed, the Eldar codex hints Eldrad might still be fighting the Warp or something.

And what would you know about Eldar? I bet that you didn't even bother to read their fluff...
And I can ask whetever I want within reason...if you don't like it: don't read it .

Eldar souls are consumed by Slaanesh unless they are wearing a spirit stone. In that case, the stone is attached to the Infinity Circuit of the Craftworld where it remains peacefully unless summoned to fight as a wraithguard or wraithlord.

Exodite worlds have the same system called the world spirit.

What is meant by consumed by Slaanesh isn't really explained in the codex though.

Well, I know the background text on Solitaires for example, that answers your question. I also read the novel Farseer for a more detailed description of a travel to a Crone World beyond the Eye of Terror.

Likely when it means consumed it means just that, like eating something I guess. Slaanesh devours the soul and gains a little strength from it. Due to their heightened psychic presence they are also aware of this while in the warp. Unlike the human souls which have no awareness of their surroundings when they are drawn into the warp upon death. All the souls are likely consumed, but it's likely that the stronger a psyker they are the more power they provide.

A combination of both. Like a cybork. Think Ork

Yes, but Slaanesh can't possibly be consuming the integrity of the souls, because everytime an eldar dies, Ynnead, god of the dead, grows in strength. When all eldar have died, Ynnead will be strong enough to defeat slaanesh. So how does Ynnead get the souls?

From the infinity circuits.

I, as a person, Do not want anything involved with Slaanesh. S/he and Dark Eldar are possibly the worst fates in the entire galaxy. I'm pretty sure this is the one thing Eldar and(most sane)humans can agree upon.
