Right, is it possible to make half human, half eldar bastards? Not talking about the rogue trader blue berry psyker.
More like human colonist who breed with the exodite eldar in the dark age of tech, then when peace broke down and the half eldar and remaining humans breed until they were closer to human than xenos ( slightly pointed ears, slightly larger eyes, etc).
I'm guessing they'd be considered a lesser abhuman if they weren't too off looking, but what do you guys think?
Ooga Booga Where Da Eldar Women At?
The imperium aren't huge idiots(HEH). They would know that they had xenos DNA, considering that eldar DNA is very different.
In Chapter's Due, there is an implied half eldar named Kaarja Salombar, so I guess it's possible.
>eldar raping human women and having children with them
I expected no less from those fuckers

Well, then it's not.
Both were created by the Old Ones and reproduce sexually, so it's reasonable to assume they're compatible, even without taking Rogue Trader into account. If a subspecies of Orks were to mutate and grow the appropriate tackle, they'd probably be able to breed with humans and Eldar too, their animal portion being from the same genetic stock.
While in the past in both 40K and Fantasy there were mentions of hybrids with the pointy eared gits (Spook ultrasmurf and some mentions in the first books of Gotrek and Felix), it is not possible the modern fluff beyond for different DNA and mutual xenophobia. That does not stop in-universe urban legends like experiments in Commorragh or one space cosair that almost killed Cato Sicarius in the Ultramarines books.
Also, Lofn is a cute bugger.

no
...
Yes
> is it possible to make half human, half eldar bastards?
No, Eldar only appear to be human-like, they have a radically different biology
> More like human colonist who breed with the exodite eldar in the dark age of tech, then when peace broke down and the half eldar and remaining human beings until they were closer to human than xenos (slightly pointed ears, slightly larger eyes, etc) .
If a human colony is established in a Maiden World, in the most optimistic hypothesis, they would be considered exotic animals, most probably an infestation

In a nut shell I give a quote from 1d4chan
"Eldar to naturally create a hybrid that would be the equivalent of a human screwing dog and then hoping for puppies."

Like halflings or ogryn?
They have mutated DNA, they are considered human/useful enough to not get purged.
...
Old ones created orks and eldar fuckwit
it was retconned, which makes sense because the war in heaven take place looong before the rise of mankind.
"78 rears old"
Ha, not seen that typo before.
If we are talking dark elder for them that would be kind of merciful
That's also true.
Has it ever been explicitly retconned?
>Has it ever been explicitly retconned?
Your lore is 20+ years old has never been referenced or even acknowledged since RT, and has since been contradicted by newer lore. Pretty safe to say it's non-canon.
Even in-universe that's baseless speculation. If the old ones had made humans, humans would have been spacefaring during the war in heaven, like the orks.
Thought not.
Many of the Old Ones' creations have wildly different approaches to space travel. Most of them were pet projects, whereas the Orks were purpose built as shock troops. Humans could and almost certainly would be intended to simply develop on their own.
>Thought not
Oh, you're one THOSE retards, the ones who are so autistic that everything written is canon, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Sounds cool, go for it OP.
Seriously, it's 40k, it's a big galaxy where anything can happen and it doesn't have to make sense. As long as it is well executed, no problem with it, though that kind of halfbreeds tend to attract the worse writers, so you can fault people for being wary.
On a sidenote, a RT adventure had some humans on a eldar maiden world that had been slightly mutated by their environment. Probably fits your goal.
Aren't DE haemonculi already using surrogate mothers? Or do they use vats?
