    Fun fact about Solitaires
    As Harlequins are eldar performers, all members of a troupe have a specific role for any given play. The Solitaires, however, play only one specific role in one specific play.
    The play is Fall of the Eldar
    The role is Slaanesh themselves

    I've had a theory for awhile that there's only one guy at GW who actually likes eldar. When forced to choose to either write for the harlequins or craftworlds, he choose harlequins, for he knew the rest of the writers would bastardize the other, and harlequins represent the best of eldar so he choose to save them and have their lore actually be good.

    The scariest part about the Custodes is that the whole bloodgames thing with releasing something like a tyranid hive-tyrant in the palace is considered relaxation for the proper Custodes.
    People think their sworn oath of vigilance and never leaving the palace means they largely laze about on guard duty, but no. Those are the ones rotated off duty for a bit of relaxation.
    The rest are still downstairs holding back the endless horde of demons that have been assailing the imperial palace from the Magnus-made warp hole for the past 10 000 years.

      @@konosmgr Sort of.
      The Cadian Pylons were built by the Necrons to contain the already existing Eye of Terror. They were essentially massive psychic dampeners that forcefully calmed down the warp surrounding Cadia, kept the eye from expanding and weakened any warp-entities in the area. This, and the constant attacks by said weakened warp entities is why Cadia became known as a fortress world, it was literally holding back hell.
      If I recall correctly, the pylons were already strained by holding back a massive warp storm, which Abbadon and his crusade exploited by throwing everything they had at it, and overloading the pylons, and the focus of the Cawl campaign was to protect/rebuild the pylons with the help of Trazyn the Infinite, local Necron troll.

      iirc Solitaires have a role in Harlequin Troupes to play the role of She-Who-Thirsts in plays that depict The Fall of the Eldar, doing this attracts the full and undivided attention of Slaneesh on them and their souls.
      Understandably, to be chosen to play the role of a Solitaire is pretty much an extended death sentence, but it's an absolutely critical role in a Troupe.

    As for #2, it actually gets scarier and more nameless. Lexicanum has a short entry for so called "Daemon Behemoths". Basically demons that could just stomp Skarbrand, Rainmaker or any daemon primarch, and when manifested in the material world, they come titan-sized. As far as I know, there's not a single named one as they are pretty rare. They don't really belong to any of the chaos gods, though they can be affiliated with them, more as allies than servants. Summoning them is also incredibly difficult, which is why the named greater demons usually get all the fame. The only instance I know of was during the Siege of Terra, when Thousands Sons managed to summon couple of them together with Death Guard. They were described as hunched horned or antlered beasts, reminiscing the goat-like image of the devil of old religions, and none smaller than warhound titan. They were used as siege engines and focus for warp magic that Thousand Sons were using to literally melt walls, and it took a sortie of hundreds of custodians after they've been weakened by some White Scars psyker lightning stikes, because "ordinary" wall guns that could down titans could do no permanent damage to them.

      In the codex, GW mentions 2 hiveships attacking the ship of the custodes. So not that much of a big hive. But in the novel, you end up with millions of tyranids and even a swarmlord. As if two hiveships had the same power than a full hive fleet.
