zixis do you even understand what aligned daemons are? they are manifistations of the gods, which the gods have willed into being at the expenditure of a portion of their own essence, and as such they exist entirely at the whim of the god they came from - if a god wishes one of its daemons to no longer exist then that daemon no longer exists: skarbrand had its individuality and intellect removed after its attempted betrayal yet khorne allowed it to remain an entity, filled with rage, because it's still a potent tool. and there are unaligned daemons that look to no god but these are, in essence, mini-chaos deities. as for something not sounding reasonable... are you serious? they are the gods of chaos, they don't care what you, or i, think is reasonable, they have their own insane and unreasonable goals.

no psyker, bar the emperor (who has help from the throne), has the ability to use their powers 100% of the time continuously without rest. it doesn't matter that he's in the warp, his mind would burn out in no time if he can get no rest: you can take an athlete and fill him with amphetamines and he'll go 100% all day every day but he will burn out, you can take any corporeal entity and provide it with all the energy requirements they need but without rest the inevitable conclusion is death by exhaustion. not to mention the fact that he has no access to actual food and warp energy does not provide corporeal nutrition regardless of what you may think.

clearly you like draigo, and you're entitled to if you so wish, but he does not conform to the laws of 40k and thinking that he can sustain himself psychically and physically within the realm of chaos, unaided and without rest, is exceptionally wishful thinking, and fairly ridiculous.

ward has left gw? i'm nonplussed about him working for gw but i'm happy to hear he wont be writting any more official lore. maybe now draigo can re-enter the realm of plausability :)

@imperialfist, feel free to change the subject if there's any aspect of 40k lore you wish to discuss, remember if it's 40k it's on-topic.
