Chaos Policy towards Aliens

I'm new to warhammer 40k lore, but I pretty much have covered a lot of topics save for this one:
1) Are there Aliens touched by Chaos?
2) What are Chaos humans' stance on Aliens? Seems to be some of them from (from the PC games I played at least) detest the Alien just like their non-Chaos human counterparts.

Aliens tend to be far more resistant to Chaos than humans because they're nowhere near as delicious or psychically endowed.

Orks occasionally fall to Chaos but their fellow orks are always there to beat the shit out of them as a result. Other than that, I don't know much. I don't think it's come up.

>2) What are Chaos humans' stance on Aliens?

They can't even get along with each other.

>Are there Aliens touched by Chaos?
Let's look at the races shall we?
>eldar will instantly be devoured by Slaanesh if they turn to chaos
>tau and necrons have no psychic abilities
>orks worship their own psychic but non-warp based gods
>tyranids are mindless omnomnom that only vaginal jews play

Rule #1 about Chaos is that there are almost no constants. Even those such as the Word Bearers, who do everything in their power to maintain order, fail at this constantly as the gods are fickle.

So, with that said, yes. Sometimes. Depending upon who, when, and where. See, the thing about the Eye of Terror is that a lot of planets are left in relative anarchy, leaving aliens and humans to figure life out together.

So despite Chaos Space Marines pretty much having a 0 tolerance policy on aliens across the board (it's one loyalist trait they've never lost) the regular men and women of the eye of terror often find themselves having to do business with Xenos.

They probably fuck, too.

Those are the galactic threats. There are countless other alien species that survive by hiding from mankind.

If they are not big enough for the Imperium to consider a threat, there aren't worthy as Chaos food, simply by numbers. Kroot, Vespin, Q'orl, 40k Slaan, Jokaero, Rak'Gol... There aren't enough of them for Chaos to consider them a viable food source.

Only the Imperium of Man is really xenophobic. The Tau and Eldar work with aliens when it suits them, chaos probably most of all because they give the fewest fucks (though "work with" can mean a range of things for chaos). Also, if the books are anything to go off, its probably true that the majority of sentient species have some interaction with chaos, and those that do are consumed by it. I can think of at least one example of an entire interstellar empire being consumed and converted to chaos worship by the introduction of a single artifact.

Not entirely. But Eldar souls are more potent than human souls, so it's probable that there are other aliens with richer souls out there, too. Just imagine an entire planet full of almost-eldar worshipping chaos, that'd definitely be felt.

The Emperor's Children were heavily influenced by chaos aliens. Fabius made noise marines from their DNA, Fulgrim even made his daemonic form in their image.

Chaos has a bone to pick with humans, because BIG E scammed them.

Chaos Eldar and Orks both exist but aren't that common.

It's true. There's good ol' fashioned orky violence, but then there's just mindless killing. They can tell the difference between an ork just doing what he loves and an ork losing his mind to chaos.

Many can be just in different amounts.
Orks can be Chaosy but dont last very long if among their own kind.

Weren't there some Tyranids who did get influenced by Chaos, and their fellow 'nids immediately slaughtered them when the Hive Mind noticed?

Didn't Fulgrim get his sword from some small-time alien race that worshipped slaanesh?

>>eldar will instantly be devoured by Slaanesh if they turn to chaos
Wrong. Eldar could theoretically pledge their Soul to one of the other Chaos Gods. Not really a better choice so Chaos Eldar not on the old Croneworlds deep in the Eye are very, very rare.

To try and answer both:
1. This very much depends on the psychic strength of each xeno race. There are countless minor xeno races that could or could not be corrupted depending on their psychic level. As for the 'major' xenos races:
- Tau CAN be corrupted but as their souls are so weak most chaos entities tend not to bother as there are so many more easily corrupted humans in the galaxy.
- Necrons have severed their warp connection so cannot be corrupted.
- Tyranids are effictively of one soul and that soul is so powerful it cannot be corrupted.
- Orks are a tricky subject but there are a few that follow khorne but more out of choice than via corruption. They have their own gods (Gork and Mork) protecting them despite their immense psychic potential. Any ork that might become corrupted is probably immidiately killed by the other orks for not acting 'orky;' enough.
- Eldar are the most easily corrupted and must actively find ways to avoid being claimed by slaanesh. All types of eldar (save croneworld eldar) are ever vigulent in purging the taint of chaos. Again there are so few eldar compared to humans, humans take the brunt of chaos corruption.

2. 'Chaos Humans' are by no means a unified entity, in fact they are precisely the opposite. As a result different groups of chaos humans will share different oppinions on xenos. However as most 'chaos humans' were either recently or a long time ago derived from the xenophobic imperium, most still inherit their xenophobic tendancies.

Funny realization about the imperium is how it is just as much an existential threat to most xenos as fucking tyranids are.

Yeah, to most races of the Galaxy the Imperium is literally like the Orks and Nids, just another galaxy-wide species dedicated to killing all other species in the galaxy. I think Eldar and Tau are the only two playable factions in the game who don't have as their explicit end goal that all other races must be extinct.

Chaos happily cooperates with aliens.

Of course, because Chaos mainly operates through traitor Imperials, that cooperation typically ends VERY BAD for the aliens.

I know according to Primogenitor at least the Word Bearers consider Chaos the exclusive domain of humans and kill all Xenos.

Considering Magnus and the Thousand Sons even in the Xenophobic days of the Great Crusade were described as friendly with Eldar and capable of interacting with Xenos, I'd imagine Thousand Sons Sorcerers are usually neutral to Xenos...as long as you don't have something they want.

Yes there are. Eldar, orks, kroot of the playable xenos, lots of references to others in various novels, fluff, etc. like the Saruthi and the Xenarch. The Great Crusade probably fought against and destroyed a lot of them. Chaos is fucked up and gets in most things that have souls.

Chaos human's stance on anything depends on what they're up, what they need, who they worship, what kind of mood they're in, how crazy they are, etc. Some would be pragmatic and use them as they can, some would lie and steal their tech, some would fight on sight because even if their blood is purple it still comes out when you hit it with an axe.

>>eldar will instantly be devoured by Slaanesh if they turn to chaos
Wrong there are chaos Eldar, pledging to another god allows that god to own their soul and take it from slaanesh. They are described as some of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy

>Weren't there some Tyranids who did get influenced by Chaos, and their fellow 'nids immediately slaughtered them when the Hive Mind noticed?
Nids have been physically altered and mutated by chaos but they've never been corrupted or fallen to chaos

>Nids have been physically altered and mutated by chaos but they've never been corrupted or fallen to chaos
Fuck off.

The Iron Warriors use a goddamn Chaos-corrupted biomechanical Hiveship to carry their Chaos Titans around.

>All these faggots in the thread
1.) Yes, there are a fuckload of lesser races fallen to Chaos worship. Sadly we never get to see them, because MUH HORUS.
2.) They don't give a fuck. Mostly because MUH HORUS.
