What I want to know is, do we know what happens to a humans soul after they die? I know that the souls are a warp energy thing, I think but I'm not sure what happens to them after the body is destroyed. On the main point, when the body dies the soul goes to the Warp. As to what happens from there, it depends on the individual and their species.

Eldar souls get eaten by Slaneesh unless they can get trapped in a spirit stone. If they can get in a spirit stone, then they can be added to the Infinity Circuit where it can either wait for eternity or go into a Wraithlord.

Orks reincarnate: when an ork dies it's soul goes into the body of a new ork.

The Imperium teaches that the souls of humans who are loyal to the Emperor go to a place called The Emperor's Table, which is a sort of Valhalla/Heaven. I think this is the case because the warp tends to mirror the beliefs of mortals in reality and The Emperor was a strong psyker even in life, so the prayers of trillions of humans could have made him a God and given him a Table regardless of whether or not he wanted either in life.

Human Souls that are corrupted by Chaos get eaten by demons.

Tau barely have souls, demons are just extensions of their Chaos God, and all the Necron Souls were eaten by C'tan long ago.
