      40K Theories Oh, I know :) That doesn't mean that they can't be using "allies" who *do* use the Warp… But I was just jesting - I figure the bigger problem with Operation: Let's Send the Q'Orl Queen Back in Time is that (to my knowledge) there's no mention of any race having any control over if and/or by how much they're displaced in time by the Warp

      @@youdontneedtoseehisidentif4939 I've found references online to the Harlequins claiming that there are "remote locations within the Webway where the flow of time seemingly goes in reverse
      ", which may imply that the Webway (which does exist partly within/alongside the Warp) can be used for time travel, with the catch that you need to find the right exit point (and there's no guarantee that said exit will remain intact and/or functional afterwards).

      @@40KTheories But they do make use of the Webway, which technically exists inside the Warp (insomuch as the concept of "location" could be loosely applied to said realm). There are passing references to timey-wimey things going on in *some* parts of it, including a reversed flow of time.

    Unfortunately due to a translation error caused by cultural differences ,
    (The q'oral are insectoid , and don't place as much social importance on size , rather comprehend beings as consisting of their density and overall mass)
    Everyone thinks it was the aeldari who took the queen ,
    But what everyone thought to mean "taller than a human" was really "containing more mass than a human"
    It was a combination plot by the ogryn and squatts

    I still think the Queen was used to create the Tau Ethereal Caste. Do not forget, the Warp can mess with time in realspace too. As Guiliman learned the hard way, trying to figure out a consistent chronology.
    The Tau _equate_ the ethereals appearance to humans M36 - but maybe it was M38 and the time on the planet just flowed at 2-5 times speed for a while, until we got confirmable measurements from the Empire. Or the Impeerial time measurement of first contact itself was off, due to them having to travel through the Warp.
    The same thing could again have happened with the Qo'ol, meaning the queen was retreived earlier.
    A mere 1000 years discrepancy in timng is not a exclusion reason on it's own.

    I honestly want the Q'Orl to team up with Tau to fight against the Drukhari. It doesnt have to be a major event just the both of them finding some common ground over being screwed over big time by them and going on a small Dark Eldar killing spree. I know that they are very far apart from each other but hey I man can still dream

      Very convenient for their empirEs to be on the other sides of the galaxy. Imagine Ethereals suddenly realise they can control the swarmhood soldiers, or Q'Orl queen commanding Fire Warriors to stand down.
      And both races had been in contact with Drukhari.
      If they team up, no matter who is in control of their forces. they can perfectly coordinate if they have one supreme leader.

    I think it is pretty obvious that it was indeed some faction of Aeldari that kidnapped the Queen. I think it would make the most sense for it to be the Drukhari (I know I butchered the spelling) and what they hope to gain is probably several different factors. Holding a queen means they have access to virtually infinite specimens of Q'Orl. From there, it is just a matter of what the captors need most: souls? Chitin? Gladiators? Research data? Frankly, it is probably all of the above.

    Drukhari are more likely. They helped the Tau once, then tricked the Tau into giving them members of their own race. The next battle they saw that the Drukhari had turned the members into horrific altered abominations known as "grotesques". Aeldari on the other hand are unlikely to intervene in other races conflicts due in part to them actually realizing their race is so near extinction.
