The Ruinous Powers, ever desiring more power bide their time as they slowly devour the known universe. Residing in the warp, an alternate dimension comprised of pure psychic energy, the Gods of Chaos in Warhammer 40K feed on the emotions, hopes, and passions of mortal creatures for sustenance and to further their power. Though not necessarily divine or even having a physical stature, they are nevertheless extremely powerful sentient energies that seek to corrupt and consume the minds and souls of the galaxy’s inhabitants. For the dark gods can only grow through the acts and thoughts of mortals.
