Cultist of Nurgle with Open Sores
|
So, I haven't exactly kept 100% up to date with current lore, but I know the vague news and that a lot of change has went down. Now, I understand that Ynnead was created along with a new faction of Eldar, known as the Ynnari, that Cadia fell and that Guilleman is up with Cawl's new Mary Sue Marines. I think we've skipped around 120 years into the future at the point of the Plague Wars, which I think is roughly close enough to the latest we've got, though I'm not sure. But I have so many questions about stuff that hasn't really been covered to my knowledge, as it seems the new focus is almost entirely on Imperium and Chaos, with a bit of shine to Eldar. If any of you have the answers to any of it, it would really be appreciated.
-Abaddon
What's happened with Abaddon? I haven't heard of any massive things happening from him, even though he finally took Cadia out of the picture. I always thought that would be the start of him leading a united Chaos force to take Terra itself, in some massive apocalyptic campaign, but so far, it seems Chaos is even more fragmented than before, and Abaddon's done... well, nothing, really. Maybe I've missed something, but I feel he kind of petered out immediately.
-Fabius Bile
As another big player for Chaos, I've not heard a lot from Bile. I mean, given that he's basically had free rein to do whatever necessary to create greater Space Marines, with no regard to morality, access to Xenos tech and the powers of Chaos, I feel as though he's kind of been shoved aside by Cawl, who managed to do everything he couldn't do from out of no where. Has Fabius Bile seen the Primaris? Is he trying to steal or improve their design, or what is he doing?
-Chaos Primaris
Simply put, do these exist? It's been long enough to have seen Primaris fall to Chaos, but as I understand, none have. How is this possible? Are they just somehow immune to Chaos and incorruptible, akin to Grey Knights? Has Guilliman put down any that tried? Or is their apparent incorruptiblity just kind of ignored so the Imperium can have their own thing that Chaos doesn't get?
-Orks
In regards to the Orks, Ghazghkull was supposed to be uniting the Orks for a massive, galaxy-crushing WAAAGH! at the end of the stagnated period. Again, time was frozen because otherwise he'd be bringing the axe down on the Imperium's head in one of the greatest WAAAGH!s that's ever been, rivaling the Beast(s) given all that stuff at the end of that series about how he was basically akin to them. But again, I have no idea what's happened to him. I don't think he's been killed, but I've heard nothing about him.
-Dark Eldar
OK, so to my knowledge, the gate at Commoragh holding back the Daemons broke with the birth of Ynnead, and Daemons flooded in. However, they weren't able to overwhelm the city, as the Mandrakes managed to stop them, or something? Is Vect still in charge? Do we know anything about the Mandrakes and their motives? What's the actual status of the Dark Eldar as a faction?
-Tyranids
The Tyranids are another big apocalyptic force that I don't know what happened. As I recall, time froze just as the great maw closed on the galaxy, but now 100 years have passed, and I don't know what's happened them. Did the Warp Rifts stop, slow down or deter them, or have they just eaten their way through a bunch of planets while we focus on Guilliman fighting Chaos.
-Tau
So, while the everything has went on, the Tau were supposed to be about to deal with Farsight, as Shadowsun went to track him down, or something akin to that. Plus, there's the fact that they're supposed to be super-expansionist, and more importantly, the main race at actually developing technology and advancing all of that stuff. Is Farsight still going about? Have their been major technological developments in the Empire, or have they grown at all, or are they just at the same tech level because the time skip wasn't about them?
Sorry to burden the forums with all these fairly unconnected questions, I'm just kind of desperately trying to figure out what's going on. Thanks for any answers in advance.

Nothing at all has happened with abbadon. The most likely explanation is he is a victim of his own success and in opening the rift, all the demon primarchs started to become active and thus his coalition of chaos forces fractured.
Fabius Bile hates space marines, so him creating primaris chaos marines is not something he'd do automatically. There'd have to be a push for it. He has no interest in better space marines for the sake of space marines.
Ghazkull actually went to the orctarius system. The place where one of the main tendril of leviathan got bogged down fighting an ork empire. Far as we know, he's still there. I SUSPECT he'll have a place in an upcoming campaign set in armageddon.
the deldar have nothing since gathering storm. I am highly anticipating their codex.
The nids haven't really... gotten much. Feels like leviathan was their big push and it bogged down or died, and there's no new mega hive fleet coming yet, just a lot of splinters and specialist hive fleets.
The tau also have gotten very little. We know one of their expansion spheres was lost in the warp, and that there has been enough time for them to recover and long another expansion sphere, but they're sort of a bit character in the setting, especially sinc ethey no longer border the imperium (The necrons took the space tween them and the imperium)
