Also what happens to the souls of those who worship chaos? Is being "claimed" by their patron god always bad? I feel like a soul being claimed by Nurgle (who worshiped Nurgle) would not be as bad of a thing as being snorted by Slaanesh.

Also when I say being claimed by Nurgle, I tend to think of Nurgke being a rather loving chaos god. So I have a hard time believing he would just make your soul Daemon chow.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8981940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8981940.page GMT The Emperor's Table (After life in 40k)
I have little knowledge of the emperors table but if true would be nice for humans of 40k. I have thought since reading about how humans were consumed that the afterlife was the biggest problem facing Humanity in a sense they might as well extinguish Humanity because they are all being born simply for lambs to the slaughter even if they are able to continue the existence of the human race.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8991174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8991174.page GMT Re:The Emperor's Table (After life in 40k) If, like me, you want a little more hope than that (especially for the guardsmen, like me), then you may believe that most human souls are beyond the notice of chaos and just simmer away, or that they actually get to go to the emperors table and have some fun times with all the old heroes (in must be a bloody big table).

Obviously this involves Imperial humans, chaos, tau or other aligned groups may have who knows what happens to them. Chaos being consumed by their deity of choice seems common though.

If we assume that the table exists, then it mainly seems to depend upon the person, their situation, and the state of the battlefield after they died. In wrath of Iron
Spoiler:
A librarian sacrifices himself to close a portal with him on the wrong side of it. The text explicitly mentions that he is killed and his soul consumed by daemons.

Another spoiler for Imperial Glory:
Spoiler:
One of the protagonists, after a fall that should/may have killed him, starts seeing a light and talking to recently dead comrades walking into it, which he does himself. Would be a better example if he wasn't delusional and taking drugs most of the book.

To my knowledge that, and miscellaneous texts about being lost in the warp are all we know about souls.
So if you die in the warp, or in conflict on a daemon infested area, your odds of being sent to the warp would likely be higher than if you died after a greenskin knocked your head off. If the daemons and chaos forces beat you and commence fun torture times, I would say eternal torment is basically guaranteed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8991775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8991775.page GMT The Emperor's Table (After life in 40k) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8992086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8992086.page GMT The Emperor's Table (After life in 40k) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8994160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706439/8994160.page GMT
