I was wondering what you guys thought about what happens to the souls when the body dies. I know most of them probably get consumed by daemons in the warp, are kept in relics. What do you guys think happens to souls while in the belly of the beasts they are in or if they manage to evade the warp creatures, what are they like. Can they hide?

If you go by imp cult the emperor shields those devote.
In the case of worshippers that change their god to much are turned into furies.

When followers of Chaos die, their souls in the Warp do not fade and disappear like the spirits of others...

Seems like for the most part (obviously though there are exceptions) souls just fizzle out after death, either that or they are consumed by daemons/chaos for one reason or another; for example Plague Bearers are formed from the souls of mortals killed by Nurgle's Rot.

For the majority of beings with souls they are devoured in the warp by gods demons or creatures. I think that the stronger the soul is that the better chance it is going to get devoured right away. However,there are the eldar who hide their souls in soulstones or infinity circuits. Some souls are bound to objects or machines in order to preserve them although this is a practice generally used by chaos...the imperium has machine spirits. I think that if one were wise or powerful enough or imaginitive enough than anything is possible
