    I am not the best at 40k lore, but I do not think the Webway is like that. I like the characters though, the dude running from the CSM looks interesting :)

    I imagen a large Wraith bone constructions of Halls and tunnels all strange and arkward to the Normal mind.
    60 million years with is more than engough time of peace to patch up the Webway with some Eldar stuff...

    Ill say Imagen tunnels of wraithbones. Wounded by time ofcourse and bad maintanice.

    Necrons also have acess to the webway, will of course have converted it some of it with liveing stone structures. holding the line agianst the Eldar and what else that resides inside it. It would be Logical.

    #Dolment Gates.

    I think I one day should try my hand at picturing it... i just gotta get the hang of how Eldar constructions are made.

    Eldar architecture any one? Wraith bone is really hard to find...?

    Nah, that image was spot on with various descriptions I've seen for a smaller man-sized tunnel. The webway has occasional wraithbone gates and runes, but it's not made of them. It is oft described as made of pure prismatic energy, and that artist's depiction seems rather appropriate for crystallized energy.

    That is art created by Fantasy Flight and endorsed by Games Workshop. It's about as official as you get nowadays. It was placed as a rendition of an encounter for the Rogue Trader party when traversing a Webway gate while chased by Chaos.

    I always saw the webway as being a misty grey sort of colour, or perhaps pale shades of no particular colour at all. The webway gates would show up as more solid-looking things, they would have architectural qualities. I know it's a novel, but in Valedor (Guy Haley) there are mentions of webway repairs done in wraithbone, and structures in an intersection something like a ruined port town. I seem to remember webway settlements mentioned elsewhere, but I'm not sure where or if this is canon.

    I can't see any reason why the webway would have to be mist-coloured, but that's how I always tend to see it - like the starting sequence to the old Dr Who series, if anyone remembers that :D

    And that is totally valid Jorimel!

    But who says all of the webway has to be the same everywhere? Sources indicate the webway can be as varied as the warp at times, though considerably more benign (obviously). Structures, repairs, and Eldar settlements will be wraithbone for sure, but what of raw tunnels? There is some leeway for artists to work with and this depiction seems as valid as many others I've seen.
