So i'm not as familiar with the 40k Universe as all of you, but im still interested in the idea of an end-time and a supposed 'battle to end all battles' either to the detriment or prosperity of the residents within realspace, and possibly even those in the warp. I am somewhat invested in the idea of the end times correlating between the power struggle of the Ruinous powers and the threat of 'warp-sensitive' beings like humanity (i hope im using that term correctly). My belief in how the End-times shall occur is that knowledge is located which identifies that Malal, the Renegade God/s (Zuvassin the Undoer & Necoho the Doubter), played a hand in drawing the Tyranids to the this galaxy as a means to throw chaos into chaos (Heh..). While i understand the Tyranids were drawn to the Psychic energy of the Astronomica, and in turn the powers of the Emperor which is the ultimate goal i assume of the Hive-mind - the assimilation of the source of this nigh-infinite psychic power, I find it within the characteristics of a god whose sole purpose is to bring about Anarchy and Terror that he/she might cause such a stir. By doing so, Malal throws the metaphorical wrench into the system that is our galaxy, which as i view it to be, a veritable feeding ground of emotional and psychic energy for the Ruinous powers, who would stand to lose substantial power and sustenance with the fallout of a galaxy wide buffet with our guests the Tyranids. I also understand Tzeentech is the changer of ways, as such this detrimental upset of the status quo would make him a likely pick, however his MO would also prevent him from taking such an action if the risk were the possible loss of both future change and his existence, if the loss of our galaxy's life could indeed lead to that. This involvement by Malal would subsequently be discovered by the other Ruinous powers, who in their interests for self-preservation and ongoing prosperity in their never-ending war between each other, will temporarily call for armistice and invest in efforts to break through into Realspace, kill off the Tyranid force and do away with Malal's attempt to incite Anarchy, however by doing so causing massive and possibly extinction level damage to both the galaxy and its residents. The Emperor, as grand as he is, may utilise his waning powers and last breath to effectively seal off the Warp within a few thousand light years from Terra (I like to recall an episode in Star Trek with a form of technology that made warp drive impossible and impulse travel was the only option), while the Tau are dealt a blow in their aims for the spread of the Greater Good philosophy and become involved in a scramble for survival very similar to the Imperiums initial years as they become caught between the rage of the ruinous powers of chaos and the hunger of the ravenous maw of the tyranids. The Necrons, in all their grandeur, will understand this purge for what it is and briefly allign with the powers of chaos in the aims of removing the blight of the Tyranid biomass, while the Eldar attempt to avoid further Chaos influence by retreating to whatever safe havens are left to them. The Orks bear witness to the greatest battle of the millenium and so a galactic wide WAAGH is called forth using their minimal psychic powers, and every Ork makes a mad scramble to join in glorious bloody battle, leaving the Dark Eldar to simply stand back and watch on with eyes afire with lust and vigor as they pay tribute to their deity. All while is occuring, the bonds and prisons within the Tesseract Labyrinth begin to break and heave under the stress of this new war in the heavens, finally breaking free and with Malice aforethought (I refer to the ruinous 5th of which he was also known as, and the primary instigator of the End-times) begin their own bloody massacre in their hunger for life energy, with additional fuel provided in their anger towards the Necrons. In the wake of this explosion of psychic energy and turbulence within realspace, the remnants of the Old Ones are alerted, sensing the pending doom of their once-beloved creations, and return with all haste to the Milky Way with the goal of either removing the threat to their creations existence, or begin anew in the wake of the devastation.
