Can someone explain to me what the Enslavers are and why they aren't still around?
How did the Young Races (Eldar and Krork, for instance) survive?

FlashbackJon Can someone explain to me what the Enslavers are and why they aren't still around? How did the Young Races (Eldar and Krork, for instance) survive? Enslavers are still around, but very rare. A mention of them is made in the background story of the Inquisitor character battle brother Artemis. As for the younger races, how about hiding in the webway and on really far off backwaters?

The Eldar Gods and the Old Ones are one and the same. The War in Heaven was between The Old Ones and The C'Tan and oddly enough, several Eldar gods fought in or were involved with that war. And it was the War in Heaven that caused the enslavers to come, along with the rapid fire use of psyker powers by the Old Ones and Eldar. The Eldar gods are just the Old Ones who survived. So if the deaths of the Old Ones formed the Eldar Gods, how could Khaine have fought in the War in Heaven. He is and Eldar god isn't he?

The Eldar gods are certainly not the Old Ones. Warp reflections create their own gods which is where they would come from, no old ones required.
I think theres sometimes a lack of understanding of the actual scale of the War in Heaven. Its hard to imagine a war that spanned the entire galaxy, it made the Horus Heresy look like a playground fight. In essence, eldar emotions during the war and possibly before it spawned the Eldar gods.
As for the Enslavers; once again scale is important. The Web way is *big*. Really really big. Even though the enslavers did breach the Old Ones webway (which was also the Eldar web way at the time) it was large enough that some remnants of the webway remained safe and some of the Eldar managed to surivive. Trying to root out even Eldar cities in the webway would be like trying to find a particular grain of sand somewhere on the planet. Theres just so much space and so many places to check you can't search them all.
As long as their psykers stayed quiet and didn't draw attention they probably could have hid indefinately.
And of course there were other races, the Krork, Jokaero, and so on, some of which were just too tough to kill. Kork for example, sure you might turn a weirdboy into a portal, but then you need to hunt down all of his spores hes released to actually stop them from coming back.
Its easy to see how some races survived the cataclysm.

In the closed thread... Spawn More Overlords Who else thinks that The Outsider is really the Tyranid hive mind? The largest hole in this theory is that the Hive Mind is a confirmed Warp entity, and exposure to the Warp will harm or destroy a C'tan, being creatures entirely of physical reality.

Beyond that, I don't see the need to make every god every other god. Theres just two seperate entities who are completely seperate. There isn't a relation between them. The Outsider is a crazy C'tan who was tricked into cannibalizing other C'tan by The Laughing God, The Hive Mind is the gestalt consciousness of all Tyranids. Making a connection between the two would be like asking if Bob Villa was actually a Fiddler Crab because both happen to exist in the same universe.

DING DING DING.
We also would've accepted "Jesus Christ, Son of Joseph, and Siddharta Gautama" or "President George W. Bush and A Trashbin" for a more offensive and condecending comparison.
