So hypothetically could they? I was told they [LOTD] lived in the warp until battle calls and I seem to remember the warp is separate from the webway i.e no crossover so slaanesh can't hunt the DE. Could the LOTD go into the webway?

Fluff master needed, anyone want to jump in?

Come into my web, said the spider to the fly.
Come rest your wings, and let us talk eye to eye.
For I am a spider, and you are the fly. Now that you are here, let us sit, and say hi.
But I have have no morsel to share, nor anything to eat. But wait, what is that stickiness upon your feet.
Ah now I have you, now I can eat. Now I can enjoy you, or store you as meat.
For I am the spider, and you are the fly. How else could it have gone, between one such as you, and one such as I.

The answer is yes and No, all in which fluff you use and how you use it. 40k is kinda all over the place so if ya dig deep enough you should be able to find a way to support it if ya really want to.
Myself I would say no.

The answer is: they can.
But they won't go in there because their purpose is to help Imperial solders in dire need of help, and Imperial forces are not fighting in Webway but in reality and Warp.

As far as I knew couldn't any one get into the webway if they could manage to find it? How would DE drag off their slaves? Maybe we should get a couple clarifications from an eldar-buff? And hypothetically, if any one could, does that mean that there could be battles in the webway?

I think Desert_thunder_heart wants the LOTD to help rescue what remains of his chapter from the webway in the Eldar city (can't remember how you spell it). Would they come to their aide, would they dare enter that accursed place?

I really don't think daring is much of an issue of the LOTD.
They make a mockery of the bravery of regular marines.

That in my mind is not a good idea theman. Individual Space Marines might be brought there to eventually become Grotesques and such, but I think one invasion of Commorragh was enough. Better have it to be a satelite-realm of Commorragh.
As for Slaanesh, she who thirsts can reach through the Webway of Commorragh if the psyker is powerful enough, but it's rare, and the psyker is quickly dealt with by the anti-magic of the Dark Eldar.

So a jail break with the help of LOTD from Commorragh is a no go?

Have been done already in the rise of Vect. The story is basically stupid despite being published and likely canon. It's from Gav Thorpe the pale nerd every Eldar-player hates with a burning passion of ten thousand suns if memory serves. On the other side, stealing a page from Baldur's Gate 2, can be a good idea. There it is an Elven city Suldanessar or something like that, and the Eldar can have a similar hidden planet there, and trick the Dark Eldar and the Space Marines with their support into making battle there, and just for fun a Waagh or a Tyranid invasion can come along threatening to totally overwhelm everything.

Do you think Desert_thunder_heart' remaining men can break out of Commorragh without it turning into SM's are awesome kinda thing. I think there are only a few of them so it wouldn't be a pitched battle more like sneak out of dodge with a few stealth kills and proberly a brief fight for a transport. (if they get that far) Is it doable do you think?

There is no escaping Commorragh. I would keep that city out of it. In my interpretation of it, it is about the size of the Solar System. So any human metropolis no matter how large will be an ant-hill in comparison. And the Space Marines might survive there, but they will be lost in the city.

He asked me earlier about the LOTD and hence the thread because I thought it best to get a wider view on what people thought.

Any idiot can GO into the webway. Its just that if ur not an eldar, its extremely difficult to do so.
Space Marines went into the Webway to kill Dark Eldar once, ork did the same, necrons are also in it now. Chaos don't normally appear in the webway cuz the warp is really thin there, hence dark eldar live there. Thats why slaany cant get in there, but that doesn't stop chaos marines and such to go through.

To be fair - I thought it was that Vect let the marines in as part of the powerr grab, having various safeguards and defences shut down.........
I would thin the Legion could go into the webway if they really needed to - although if they are an manifestaton of the Emperors Will / Ghosts etc - its shielding could cause them problems?

It's important to note that there is no real "cannon" with 40k due to the fact that the 40k universe is so big and diverse and there are so many BL books, sometimes contradicting each other. There is simply fluff that is more reliable than FB fluff

*self proclaimed LotD fluff master jumping in*
Well not to keen on the working of the webway but there is not much known about where the legion is based. the most common theory is they still have a fortress monastery or a battle barge flying around in space. They dont use the web way to get from battle to battle they use the warp much like demons and Chaos use the warp to get around.
If i had to guess i would say no since they have no need to. since they are heavily mutated by the warp they can travel through the warp very effectively, and not fall victim to the dangers like most other space marines would.

Damaged portions of the Webway can be accessed via the Warp. This is how daemons invaded the palace on Terra during the Horus Heresy. Thus, the LotD could translate into the Webway from the Warp if they had knowledge of where the Webway was damaged. Considering that they rely on the tarot to guide them, they could very well do this -- assuming that the tarot actually works ...
