As the title says.

Craftworld Eldar have located a maiden world that is about to be colonized by the Tau. You are a farseer and the highest-ranking Eldar currently on the planet. There is one Webway portal on the planet, and recon indicates the Tau may have detected it, with means you don't currently know. It will need to be defended long enough for your main force to arrive through it to drive the Tau back.

How and by whom will latrine pits be dug? Do Eldar even bother burying their waste?

I'd like to think that all races somehow force grots to dispose of their waste, as that's all they're really good for.

But knowing eldar, they probably wake up their ancestors and put them in wraith bodies to do the dirty work because they're too poncy to do it themselves.

Probably noncombatants or other support personnel. Those on the Path of Crap Jobs (puns for days).

Do Eldar even poop? That's the real question !

They apparently poop crystals, according to Xeneology (and take that for what you will).

Guardians and Aspect Warriors would have no problem with military duties.

Or Bonesingers make you special wraithbone waste disposal units

I'd assume a bonesinger would do it. Low level initiate perhaps. They are pretty much the default builder's path so to speak. The others are on different paths.

All eldar come with a web way portal instead of an anus.

One of the many reasons why I distrust Eldar in general But seriosly this is case in Xeneology witch in itself is a somewhat disturbing read on its own merits

Something people forget is that Guardians are not professional soldiers.

It's almost certainly the Guardians who do it. Some of them are probably on the Path of the Janitor anyway.

That or, if the crystals thing bears out, they just feed them to the warp spiders. The maintenance bots, not the aspect warriors.

I find it implausible that the eldar would not bring some form of collapsible toilet construct with them.

This is actually one of the strongest arguments against becoming a ranger/outcast - lack of collapsible toilet constructs.

They get the bonesingers to make wraithbone bogs

Picture a porta-potty with mini-webway in it allowing the crap to be sent to some Crapworld. Keeps things clean...here anyway.

"Not I," said the Warp Spider with pride, "We dookie in the Warp on Slaanesh's front porch."

"Not I," said the Scorpion with mischief in his eye, "We dookie in the shadows, for the mon-keighs to step on."

"Not I," said the Swooping Hawk gleefully, "we dookie while dive bombing to blind our enemies."

"Not I," screamed the Howling Banshee, "We dookie... Look! Squirrel! KILL!!!"

"Not I," state the Dark Reaper in a slow and measured pace, "We dookie from afar, raining upon our foe the smell of death."

"Not I," yelled the Shining Spear, much to everyone's chagrin, "We found a way to make it rain money selling grandpa's old cough medicine!"

"Not I," said the Harlequin with a sigh, "no one found it funny the one time we did it."

"Ooh! Lookie here!" Cried out the ranger as happy as can be, "Spirit Stones as far as the eye can see!"

Eldar don't poop. Ever. They're just like real-life women that way.

They don't call them "Dark Eldar" for nothing, you know.

The infinity circuit in the Craftworld gives Eldar a nudge to fill gaps in the labour market. There will always be just enough that find The Path of Sanitation a rewarding enterprise.

I thought that was one of the main appeals, how freeing must it be for a craftworlder to take their first dump in the bushes...

lmao

Ever since the Eldar race gak'd out a Chaos God of hedonism they puckered up their anuses and been uptight ever since.

Silly, everyone knows an Eldar's gak don't stink! They are much too perfect for that! They don't even have to worry about it!

In fact, it comes out even more nutritious than it was when it went in! Yum!

Wouldn't all their, like, FlaconRazerBright whatever tanks have toilets.? Actually, I don't think anything in 40k poops. They have to stand on that base their whole life, it would get kinda gross

For real answer: two options.

Either someone on the Path of Service does it, or they use some form of device that does the work for them (a la the tunnel crystals of Stargate: SG-1's Tok'ra)
