Well, they are still creatures, and its clear they operate on the same principles of evolution as manpeoples.

Its just that like manpeoples they manipulate their own path via 'technology', or whatever they do with their jeans

I would say 'nids are a single species, with the Norn Queens being the core lifeform of it and all others bioforms being specialised castes akin to soldier ants or drones.

spruecrons best crons

Also one of the comments on the DOWIII trailer got me thinking
40k + beksinksi = best, or best?

Eldar are a dying race, but most of their architecture in canon is mathematically smooth and shit to demonstrate how psychically attuned and technologically superior they are. You don't often get a sense of how much of a dying race they are, except for that one world that got nom'd by nids and is mostly wraithbone constructs full of dead eldar. Add beksinksi and suddenly you get this feel that the Eldar buildings are overgrown with biomechanical weeds, like wraithbone kudzu or something, and are really slowly dying with naught but their remnant artifacts standing testament to their existence.
Also interesting is that the statue of the Emperor was not the gold and mighty style of the Imperium at its height, or the gothic or decayed statues that show the Imperium in its stagnancy-decline, it seems more reminiscent of the Afghan Buddha statue. Something really ancient, something before history, something about to get blown up and turned into orks. Afghan Emperor statue really gets across the Imperium having been so far past its zenith, it has so little traces of its original civilization left and is soon to be extinct with no living traces. Orks is fine though

Hell, I'm fairly sure that it was the birth of slaanesh which dispelled the warp storms over terra.
You are correct. It was Slaanesh's gestation which caused the warp storms but it was her psychic birth scream which blew them away.

Ill agree that killer robots does tend to make the world a bit more egalitarian, but in a different way than we intend.

Id say it was probably a nicer time to live if you had the money to, but its my understanding we dont even know about the form of government properly.  Id guess that since it was also preEmps, that we had digressed into a form of oligarchy and that it was worse than today for the overcrowded masses who may or may not have had more freedom depending upon their station in life.  But that word station...

and since Emps doesnt once seem to deign to mention how pre ironmen things were generally okay Im gathering that 30k was better than those time.

The remaining primarchs taking to the field is one of the signs, yeah.

Its also pretty suspicious that the Lemon Ross mini is also comming out soon (if not already), and since they're rivals, they'll prob have them clash or something, and thats the sort of thing you'd expect from 40k end times, since it'd mean Lemon would be doing something other than being randomly lost in the warp suplexing bloodthirsters.

Nothing Geedubs does is going to beat the ending he was given in Shape Of The Nightmare To Come, when he gets busted out of stasis and saves Vulkan (I think) from the insane Cato Sicarius, then immediately dies of the poison before being able to do something typically stupid like Ultrasmurfs always do.
