    Only in Warhammer can immortal aliens have the average life expectancy for a day or two.

      Regarding the Necrons, I feel some nuance is lost: Yes, their bodies are resilient and easily repaired. As long as their civilization stands, that is true.
      However, I'd argue their "lifespans" becomes more about the state of their minds, and it is said that for each restoration from "death" their mind-engrams slightly degrade (whether this is just for Warriors or a general rule I don't know)
      - This means that they slowly tend towards being an inert, lobotomized husk as they exist.
      In addition, the risk for madness, succumbing to the destroyer-virus or accidental exposure to the flayer-virus is nearing 100% as time goes towards infinity.
      They are also dependent on having an uplink to a functional Tomb World, and they can also be punished by having their reanimation-privileges revoked.

      I like to think that the Old Ones' secret for immortality was dependent on the Warp, so the Necrontyr were incapable of taking advantage of it. For their part, the Necrontyr refused to believe them, and saw the further evidence of the Eldar and Krork as more evidence of the Old Ones being dicks.

    I'd thought part of the reason for chaos space marines ageing so little was meant to be that time is moving much more slowly for them in the eye of terror, in the same way that ships can disappear in the warp and reappear decades or millenia later with the crew only experiencing a few weeks.

      It‘s not so much that time goes slower, it just goes real fucky wucky
      It can go like you described, or the other way around where the ship is lost for decades only to come out the other side like a second later real time, and that‘s without even mentioning how you can even end up arriving before you left, so it‘s even possible to time travel back
      In conclusion, the warp was designed by tzeench, because it‘s a massive headache to even try to think about, much less comprehend

      I am pretty sure that is part of it. Space Marines for themselves can live for thousands of years and warp f*ckery does its own to possibly extend - or maybe lower - that lifespan. If I recall there was a discussion between Chaos Space Marines, one of the "current time" and one hailing from the heresy. The one from the heresy stated that for him the great war against the empire was only a few centuries ago, despite having happened 10.000 years back for the other marine.
      So, yeah. Never underestimate warp-f*ckery, kids!
      I think I heard that one in one of Luetin's videos concerning time and the warp and it was a really interesting piece of lore and analysis!

    From what I recall of the Tau lore, the ethereals aren't immortal, they just live a bit longer than normal tau (probably because healthcare and shit). Also, shadowsun is as old as she is mostly due to constantly popping in and out of cryostasis, as the ethereals basically just stuff her into cryo between campaigns at this point. Probably also health care though.

    Throwing in a correction about the Dark Eldar, there are many Haemonculi that pre-date the Fall and can claim to be older than Vect. The Haemonculi are the original BDSM sluts that set up Commarragh in the first place, and Ancient Haemonculi from those days still exist.

    Back in 5E (2008) a friend of mine who'd played Chaos since 3E got butthurt that loyalist SM captains also got buffed to WS6 (it wasn't always a flat "to hit" goal, kids) alongside Chaos Lords, which brought our college cafeteria nerd-argument around to the "passage" of "time" in the Warp. Despite what it says on sidereal calendars, the vast majority of Chaos SMs are not "10k year veterans" and should be equal to their Imperial counterparts because:
    1: the vast majority of Chaos Lords encountered *are* captains and chapter masters who turned within an average Astartes lifetime and have never been to the Eye of Terror (i.e. Lufgt Huron, and he was an exceptional CM and reluctant renegade).
    2: of those who actually remember the Horus Heresy, most have just lived a twisted version of a slightly-longer-than-average Astartes life. Few of them actually have more combat experience than the average Terminator, none have more than Dante, Grimnar, and the average VenDread. This group is already represented in rules and lore: they make up the majority of Chosen in Legion-derived warbands.
    3: the very few who did take an active role in the "Long War" for most of its duration also have rules and lore: they're called demon princes, with 5 canon exceptions (Kharn, Lucius, Typhus, Ahriman and Topknot the PlotSpoiler).

      In 40K its depends on ones socio-economic status and life style similar to reality but taken to the extreme at least for your base line humans. (most Guardsmen, Underhive dwellers die young, regular people live just a bit longer while the Rich and Powerful live give or take a few hundred years.)
      Astartes live for centuries, if they can live peacefully a few thousand, in Dreadnoughts almost Indefinitely.
      For Mechancus it also depends on their rank but they can live for a very long time comparable to Astartes because of their implants.
      The Eldar can live for Thousands of years with the current oldest being Tens of thousands of years old
      Necrons are Immortal, Chaos Marines live indefinitely especially with Mutations.
      Tau live basically on the same rates as humans.
      Tyranids live very short lives (give or take a few hours or days depending on the lifeform) with the exception of Norn queens and Hive tyrants which are basically immortal.
      For Orks its literally a roll of the dice as some can live for centuries.

    It's worth noting that Vect probably isn't 10,000 years old, though he does boast to be. He only took over around M33, and while there's no information on his life before that beyond being a slave, the lifespan of a slave in the Dark City isn't typically that long. However, there are ancient houses who transitioned to the Kabal structure following his uprising, who are led by Archons who supposedly predate the decline of the Eldar. If true, that would put them around M20.

    Aren't most Chaos Astarte from 30k? As far as I know, Chaos Space Marines don't really "die", and they have 0 to barely any recruitment drive. Aka their geneseeds do not work due to chaos mutation, and they have to steal precious geneseeds, which isn't very much. They also need uncorrupted humans, but that seems "solveable". As in Chaos Astartes are dying out, due to the warp and their situation. Most traitor chapters are also killed off, usually pretty fast, and only survivors can at best join the warp.
    Compared to loyalist first founders, who have 30 successor chapters, and all the other chapters of unknown origin, it's not very much and they seem to be dying of, dying out. At least that's what I thought from the setting, that seemed logical at the time. But as it often goes, that logic does change with new information and lore.
