Editing Slann (section)

==Warhammer 40,000==

In [[Rogue Trader | early editions]] of [[Warhammer 40,000]], the Slann were the oldest space civilization, even older than the [[Eldar]]; in fact, the Eldar learned from them when making the [[Webway]]. For reasons never really elaborated on, they mostly died out by the 41st millennium.

When Games Workshop made their game more [[grimdark]] in later editions, the Slann were effectively replaced by [[Old Ones (Warhammer)|Old Ones]], who mostly died out in the aftermath of the war with the [[Necrons]], though some still survived to advise the Eldar and warn them about the coming [[Slaanesh|Fall]]. The third edition Necron [[Codex]] does contain a nod to their origins: it suggests that [[Lizardmen]] miniatures could be converted to stand for the Old Ones' distant descendants.

However, they don't really appear much other than being mentioned as "having been created by the Old Ones", followed by "helped the Eldar", and then apparently fucking around doing nothing for millennia, and then dying out. Presumably the translation of [[Neckbeards|large floppy blubbery creatures]] into zero gravity made them too mentally distressing to want to talk about in the fluff too much.

What is implied to be a Slann makes a cameo in the book "Old Earth". It's never stated to be a Slann, but it certainly fits the bill as a giant frog creature that lives in a mesoamerican pyramid. It was one of the top leaders of the Cabal until [[Eldrad]] killed it.

The [[Votann]] are kinda like Slann, but in computer form. Both are "ancient" creations that are the guiding minds of their culture, but are hampered by their inactivity, taking decades to even make a simple decision.
