A '''Warp Storm''' is one of the [[Great Rift|most potent psychic phenomena to ever grace the galaxy]]. They are caused by HUGE emotional outbursts, often resulting from massive Materium upheavals, such as war.


== Overview ==
Warp Storms are a bleeding scar on the face of the material world. Their great size and nigh-endless supply of warp energy allows them to serve as bases for the [[Lost and the Damned]] and [[Chaos Space Marines]], all the while transforming all in its proximity into mutants, as seen in the Great Beasts of [[Caliban]]. These massive, ceaseless EMP-analogues disrupt [[Astropath|interstellar communication]], lower visibility in the warp, and in the most extreme situations toss entire fleets around, destroying them or making them arrive before they even set off, among other things.


== Notable Warp Storms ==

*[[Great Rift]]: A massive chain of warp storms stretching across the galaxy, sawing the Imperium in half.

*[[Eye of Terror]]: Home of the surviving Traitor Primarchs and all traitor legions. As of 8th edition, also the starting point of the Great Rift.

*[[Maelstrom]]: Though EoT-sized, it is potentially less dangerous than the eye because of the relatively low numbers of CSM ... [[Warhammer 40,000 8th edition|EXCUSE ME?!]] Now Marines originally confined to the Eye can strike from the Maelstrom.

*Storm of the Empra's Wrath: Its formation destroyed the Imperial fleet sent to destroy [[Sebastian Thor]]. Thor's eventual success further decentralized the Imperium, leading to some [[Neckbeard|extradimensional entities]] believing a certain [[Tzeentch|furry mastermind]] is actually behind the storm.
