Woooohhhaa - TY @Lynata ( for the fine "good night" story )....Have an exalt ...

"Sweet dreams", I guess!

I vaguely recall there was an even more grisly one, something with living walls crafted from people sewn together, but ... I can't recall where that was from. Someone else posted it here. White Dwarf, maybe? From when the Dark Eldar were newly re-launched? It was just a short story, too.

Are you think of The Night Lords fortress on Tsagualsa?

The palace (and fortress) of the Night Lords on Tsagualsa was a grotesque place, a building made entirely from still-living bodies. A carpet made of faces, all of them screaming, led past to a pool of shadow, where Night Haunter sits on a throne made of human bones.

Captured as a POW by Tau...

Since it hasn't been said yet, and would no doubt be gruesome.

Trapped with the Outsider in his Dyson Sphere for eternity.

Getting your own face melted off with your plasma pistol can't be a nice way to go

Being tied down where you are in a small room and cant move at all but can only look forward (and close your eyes) as you watch a nurgling sloooooooooooowly crawl towards you then having it rip out your guts and crawl in..... dont ask how i thought this up ... well ill jsut say it was influenced by how great unclean ones have tons of nurglings in their bowels ...

Hmm, I'm almost 100% certain it was Dark Eldar, but it sounds familiar. Coincidence, or flawed memory ...

Hmm, in an old (and I mean old, as in back when they were still worth reading - I think it was around the time of the 3rd edition 'Nid Codex) WD there was a story about a world being invaded by Tyranids from a Guardsmen perspective. One of the few things writen about 40K that actually sent a chill down my spine.

The sheer horror and despair of that conflict is, IMO, the worst kind of death 40K can throw at you. It might not be the most painful, but the sheer... alienness (is that a word?) of it is just terrifying.

My pal said he hated playing 'nids because his glorious marines wouldn't just die but get eaten and end up as alien poo. Telling him tyranids don't excrete didn't help.

Eaten/ ripped apart by Tyranids very slowly or falling into a digestion pool, either way would be excruciatingly painful.

Or being taken apart atom by atom by Necron weaponry.

Did he also refuse to play Flesh Tearers?

Bran: Any chance you recall the number, or the title/author? That sounds like it'd be a cool story to read!

Not offhand, but I've got a stack of old WDs in the attic.
I'll browse through them when I have some time and get back to you.

Slaanesh.

Spiked tentacles with no safe word.

/nuff said

I agree with the Dark Eldar one... Slaanesh is a close second.

my list of top 3:
1) going into the warp and meeting the almighty rapist, slaanesh...
2)getting turned into a necron
3) being slowly eaten alive by ripper swarms

What happened to the settlers of that small planet in Warriors of Ultramar is very similar.

Hmm,having khaine and khorne team up against you?

White Dwarf #254.
Story is called the Fall of Malvolion, and it's by Dan Abnett.

Go on...

A gang of slaanesh warriors pin you in a corner.....with no lub!

Well, as I said above, it's a story (4 pages!) of a planet being invaded by Tyranids from a lowly guardsman's perspective.
I'm not gonna spoil it by spilling more than that, and it's 4 pages, so I'm not going to type it in word for word either...
I'm sure a little google search will turn it up in some dim corner of the Internet.

You can be a bad writer victim /thread

Imagine being any human, you're just standing in line wondering where the orks are. When all of a sudden, out of no where, a tunnel opens up, a snotling explodes out of it, right in front of you.

or you get sprayed with demonic ichor, either way it would really suck.

Perhaps, but it must be noted that if it lasts for eternity then it isn't the worst way to go as one does not go at all. It is infact the worst way to stick around perhaps?
