Hello,

i am new to the 40k lore so i was wondering if i got this right:

The chaos gods are within the inmaterium/warp and there they are nearly omnipotent correct?

So why dont do more in the materium like wipe out the empeor? As far as i understood it

despite their insane power within the warp they cant use their full power in the materium and can only

do stuff there if they have a tear in realspace and then its still limited. The bigger the tear the more power

they can use. Or through a willing follower though very limited.

Thats also the reason why Slaneesh could easily kill the Elder gods that were in the warp but couldnt

get his/her/its hands on Chegorach who hid in the webway or ynnead who was in the materium/real space correct?

This then would also explain why they cant just use their full power and just wipe out the emperor or take more

actions in the materium right?
