I was wondering is the immaterium just like the material world just all messed up or is it just like nothing except daemons walking and fighting 24/7

What exactly the Warp looks like "from the inside" is inconsistent, indeed this is its very nature. Most of the Immaterium is just swirling insane energies, but there are solid places within (such as the domain of the Chaos Gods and the fortresses of Daemon Princes).

"All messed up" may be a way to describe it. A cliff that suddenly flattens itself out, a continent spinning in circles, lightning and daemons everywhere. No sense of gravity or direction. That's what the Warp is like I imagine, random and disorientating.

Immaterium = The Warp
The Warp = Scary demon place/parralel dimesion with scary demon things in it.

Warp drive = Interdimensional faster then light travel system.

I'm not sure how the daemons move or if they jst drift around but when ships use warp drive and travel through it if it wasn't for the navigators and astronomican guiding it and the Emperors enormous phychic power protecting the ships they would be riped to peices by hungry daemons.

This is not true, seeing as multiple races use the Warp to travel without the aid of the Emperor, astronomican or Navigators. Those things allow for easier long distance travel for IoM ships.

What allows human ships to travel in the warp is the Geller field generator on the ship, it creates a repulsive field which repels deamons and other warp creatures.

Keep in mind that not all denizens of the warp are daemons.

What else inhabits the warp and are the elders webways like unseen short cuts in the warp.

For example, Enslavers are non-daemonic warp entities.

Basically, antyhing that is not aligned with the dark gods is not technically a daemon.
