I see it kinda closer to the london underground in subspace.

A huge lattice of intersecting tunnels and caverns of various sizes under the universe (between reality and the warp) that allow the eldar and dark eldar to both travel and live within it.

Remembering that both the Black Library and Commoragh are within it, as well as numerous other 'sub realms'.

Gates are bigger, hardier more permament structures that gives a set location to transit from and to - like a bus station.

While a personal portal that's opened on the fly is going to be smaller, temporary and the exit point is going to be an approximation.

Only the Dark Eldar have the handheld small ones.

All eldar have portable portals of some kind, and most have the ability to open a portal for passage for tanks and infantry, and it's how all eldar starships go ftl, by opening a portal

also - it isnt just a gateway into the warp. It's a pocket dimension between the 'real world' and the warp. So tunnels and caves is a fairly apt metaphor.

Some of the Dark Eldar have some control over Commoragh - as it keeps expanding.
