So its literally better to just go ''nah you aint real fuck off'' then?
-
Ahhh Fabius, the man who litterally looked Slaanesh in the face and replied 'Nu-uh you're not real'
-
That’s the paradox of fighting chaos. If you know something exists but can’t see it you are basically just believing it is there, which they feed upon and so can be sustained. If you don’t know it’s there you cant believe it and so it starves but at the same time being unaware of the danger makes you vulnerable to it.

Emperor: Pretend they don't exist Bike: Ignore them and use them for scouts Chiefs/Iron warriors: Nail them to a machine and make them work for you
-
"Until recently they had no more power than a wisper". Well damn someone should tell the Eldar that Slannesh and all of the gods they birthed were just figments of their imaginations.
-
But.... they are make wonderful scouts . I'm dying
-
I love that bile thinks so little of daemons that he feels the need to admit they make good scouts.
-
In Fabius Bile: Primogenitor when a keeper of secrets invaded his ship he literally spends a solid two minutes roasting the shit out of then shot it in the face with a psychic blank dart, truly a mad lad.
-
This point works to a point, until you remember the emperor told Corvus everything about chaos. Not only was Corvus never tempted, never even considered turning traitor, and is now arguably one of the strongest primarchs in the setting with his warp powers, shows that maybe SOME knowledge to the primarchs would have been beneficial.

Bile isn't the vilain we got but the vilain we deserve
-
Ironically, the only one succeeding to abide by big E’s plan is Bile. Or there are so many more i missed. Edit: wow, i started a “how many techpriests does it take to change a lightbulb” situation
-
"Knowing about them gives them strength" Sure, that excuse might work if we're talking on the scale of planets, not 18 demigods who very much so need to know not to talk to strangers
-
Fabius looking into the eye of terror: “nah, not real”
-
Dude had a full on conversation with Slaanesh itself and was like "lol, no."
-
Fabius considers daemons how a programmer considers current-age AI. Some people actually consider that these large language model AIs to have a shred of sentience. Anyone versed in programming and computers know that your AI waifu is just a fancy word predictor
-
Daemonspawn: Rahhhh we are the physical extension of primordial gods, acknowledge us! Gigachad Fabius Bile: No
-
I’d solo a Bloodthirster. What’s he gonna do? Hit me? He’s just a manifestation of emotion and belief. He’s no more real than the thoughts in my head.
-
Most Species in 40K: "Choas is an ever present nigh unstoppable threat!" Bile: "So I understand that something takes those forms. But to be honest it seems like bullshit to me."
-
Fabius has got to be one of the coolest and most badass characters in the setting
-
Bile: “Na, you ain’t real. Walk over that ridge and tell me what you see, fakeboi.”
