I think the number of those that make the "full transition" from mutated human into full daemon is rather low, though. But even before reaching this final stage they might gain a small inkling of the daemons' ability to shape the raw energy of the warp and twist reality as well - with people that have not been psykers before suddenly developing the ability to "cast spells".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4607957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4607957.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608000.page GMT deamon explanation needed please!
Spoiler:


I suppose it's clear to see which emotion has had what effect here.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608015.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608015.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608198.page GMT deamon explanation needed please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608288.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608302.page GMT deamon explanation needed please!
I suppose it might work like in the Dragon Age-Setting (whose Fade does have a few parallels with Warhammer's Warp), where those daemons managing to penetrate the Veil and cross over into realspace take on a shape "emulating" the emotions they committed themselves to. In a way, for the daemons it is very much a matter of one's perception determining one's reality - though they have less power in the real world than within the Fade. It's less a matter of having an active control over their shape, but rather that the body is formed and deformed by their twisted idea of the emotions and thoughts that birthed them.

I think the same explanation might work in 40k as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608344.page GMT deamon explanation needed please!
IRT Chaos Space Marines becoming Daemon Princes, that is a gift granted to the favored champions of particular Ruinous Powers or even Chaos Undivided...basically a promotion from highly-skilled, widely-experienced and infinitely-dangerous mortal warrior to immortal warrior with all the previous skills and experience, plus a whole bunch of daemonic powers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608406.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please!
People have emotions.
Emotions = warp power.
Warp power gathering = Chaos God, eventually.
Chaos God gives a bit of warp power to a champion to transform them into a Daemon.

So, no, they're not really made of emotion - but they are inexplicably linked to the Warp, and their patron's innate power, from that point on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608452.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please! that answers my question perfectly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608512.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608512.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608539.page GMT deamon explanation needed please!

I also noticed quite a few similarities between Dragon Age's Fade and The Warp when playing DA:O.

Normal daemons are still created by their respective god giving up some of their power - but, as they're made purely of the stuff of the warp, they're much more linked to that original emotion than a Prince, who is tempered by their previous experience as a mortal.


They're just humans that have been mutated and "powered-up" by warp energy dispensed by the Chaos Gods.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4608938.page GMT Re:deamon explanation needed please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4614476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467217/4614476.page GMT
