Could the Xeele perhaps lose their minds if they quickly come to know everything that is to know about the Warp?

I'm not sure if you understand the level the Xeelee operate at. You really have to read the books to understand it, but the level they operate at is more orders of magnitude above 40K than I or anyone else who cares can be bothered to calculate.

...Total Annihilation would be totally annihilated... Besides they have no resources remember?

They have plenty of resources. As long as there is matter they have resources, pretty much.

As to actual fighting, given that every single explosive the CORE and ARM use relies on antimatter warheads, and given that the vast majority of their ground units are in the kiloton range for firepower (making them an even match for any Titan), never mind that one fanfic which the developers canonized that gives them easily 40K-level or better space forces, TA stomps.

And Nids are hardly an issue because they're a numbers thing. Warfare in TA literally works like an RTS game. A single construction unit with some resources and left unchecked for the first couple of hours can overwhelm a planet with sheer numbers in weeks or less.

Also, good luck finding them since from what I gather

I do not recognize strike legion as a fraction. It is too obscure. No.

Space Marines are like ants to Legionairres, who have pistols that reach the kind of yields medium-size 40K starships throw out, Uzis that outgun all of 40K and planet-busting hand grenades. Every single ship in the Strike Legion universe is throwing around so much firepower that an Emperor-class Battleship would barely qualify as a light frigate weaponry-wise. Never mind the stuff that comes from the Imperial Death Factories... (yes SL has Imperial Death Factories. It's like that.)

Mighty Azathoth I said yeas too, but perhaps even he can be sedated by Slaanesh and Tzeentch. Therefore not defeated by kept under control. Besides 40k has much Lovcraftian elements to it. Would you not say that its almost like a war science fiction version of Lovecraft's universe? The 4 bros of Chaos in 40k might just be other Great Old Ones (Lovecraft mentioned only a handful) and therefore Azathoth is their king. So they would serve him not fight him in this theory. But yeas Azathoth pownds all.

Well yeah, Chaos in its most basic form is very Lovecraftian as well as drawing elements from folklore and religion, and IIRC it's been stated that the C'Tan are themed after the cosmic horror genre. And yes Azathoth pwns everything simply by waking up.

Also, Slaanesh and Tzeentch mentioned in the same sentence just brings back memories of a very screwed-up and rather scarring dream I've had, so please refrain from it.
