The figure in the foreground suggests victory, potency, and ample preparation or confidence. Also suggests unwilling or unnecessary contributions from losing parties. This card also is the "defeat card" in the deck. The ragged-looking and "torn-asunder" sky implies a frayed, shabby, and jagged celestial plane. This card can represent dangerous overconfidence, and in its reversed form indicates a seeming-triumph which will be ultimately calamitous.

No it doesn't. This is an abomination from the war in heaven which could be any number of monstrosities originating from the C'Tan, Old Ones, Necron, Aeldari, rather than Daemon in origin.
I think the problem is that the Harlequins would have slowly won and methodically eliminated the enemy, noticing important clues as things dragged out, but by showing up with overwhelming force we've proved excessively destructive and quick to win and destroyed clues or something else important in the process.
I don't think it was a bad choice. Maybe just a dangerous knowledge ends up in the wrong hands choice or a "kill something horrible that would have kept Daemons away from somewhere important for a long time and be saddled with it's protection" choice, or possibly the classic "Resolve something so quickly it didn't really have time to spiral into a major problem, so more people live but are less aware of how much they needed your assistance and less greatful for it" choice.
Also, I think it was less that we sent them to early and more that we sent far to much raw force. We used a Megalance on something that only needs a Starlance.
For fuck's sake, "You fucked up by sending a large force in when a Craftworld went dark because you succeeded too hard and therefore caused something worse to happen."
Randino, are you just doing a bit now? Because that's a level of fearmongering I've rarely seen.
Well, I'm not sure if that's Mechanis' take on the Rangdan or just one more "here be dragons" on the Warhammer Galaxy Map, but I know one thing... now that we've seen this consumer of Eldar inner light, this corruptive tide, this abomination of shadow and oil, this... Bringer of Night, if you will...
I'm feeling really good about us having decided to spec into plasma!
Sunblasters, ho!

I'm just throwing ideas at the wall from common fanfiction tropes. It's not fearmongering. There isn't some decision to scare others away from. None of these are even that bad. Chill out.

Approximately coterminous with the Black Nebula
Weeks pass as the Host marches swiftly through these passages. The side-realm that waylaid the Troupe of Burning Groves (what a name, that,) seems to be an exception—the passages ahead have all been thoroughly scoured, blackened soot and grey ash all that remains. some , it is clear, simply had melta torpedoes shot down the passages until the fires burned too hot for them to pass, others were scoured by more conventional means, but at last the Host begins to catch up. The signs are subtle at first, merely a warming of the air, yet soon that gives way to the black-heat, then to lingering embers and dull glows of still-molten metals as the seekers go from weeks, to days, to mere hours behind the forces of Nacretini. Most sections are still familiar Wraithbone, yet some few are the strange not-sandstone, ash pooling in their kinks and dips.
And then, you see it.
This is a great realm. A star burns at its heart, but all is not well. Now the strange tunnels are explained, for coiling around the realm-star is a vast thing, a writhing mass of vast blind worm-forms in slick-black, swarming in the shape of a greater worm still. Vast tripartite jaws are opened, and a swirl of something is suctioned from the realm-star down the gullet of the thing.
And also, against this abomination, surrounded by battle-fires and engrasped….

While ominous, I don't see any citation for that section of the page? Certainly every other source I can find with a cursory search seems to disagree. Of course, they also generally disagree with each other, so...
Regardless, when it comes to the Eldar, the number five and blades, cards aren't the only thing that comes to mind...
