Hey people,

I've had this question on my mind for a while now concerning the Eldar and the Chaos Gods.

Are the Eldar on scared of Slaanesh or are they worried about the other gods of chaos as well?

I haven't heard much about them battling Khorne or Nurgle or Tzeentch even though they are the experts on Chaos with the Black Library and all

Thanks,

Considering She Who Thirsts (aka Slaanesh) is the one that wants to consume all Eldar souls, that's the only one they truly care about.

Khorne just wants them dead but is pretty happy when the Avatars go stomping around. After all Khorne doesn't care where the blood is from, just that it flows. I'm not entirely sure about Nurgle and Tzeentch; I can't remember any Eldar fiction that featured them.

For all we know some of their gods could have even been the big four in disguise in some way. Such as Khaine's similarities to Khorne. But, in general they seem to try to avoid all of it just to hide from Slaanesh.

Yeah, the Eldar "gods" are interesting. It's hard to tell if they mean real meta physical beings or if the stories are simply describing Eldar history in the abstract.
