His response would be more like "As you may know by now, nothing in the 40k verse is set in stone, so you can subscribe to the version you like more, as long as is not complete bonkers".
The issue with Slaanesh is that the Eldar were always able to be resurrected from the warp. So if an Eldar dies, he can come back. With the birth of Slaanesh, the Eldar cannot be resurrected. So before the Eldar were not afraid to die because they knew they would just come back, but now if they die they're souls will be consumed by Slaanesh.
to explain soulstones: they don´t keep Slaanesh away. thy collect the soul of the eldar if he dies so that it won´t go to Slaanesh. they will then insert the stone into the "mainframe" of their Craftworlds whre they keep all the Soule of the fallen. then the stone can be reused as far as I know. they can use a Soulstone with a Soul to animate the Wraith constructs.
@@johngun4377 Well, sort of, but there's more nuance to it. Bricky said that the only Eldar who survived were those who obtained Soul Stones, but Exodites don't need Soul Stones because they never leave their home planet and are therefore capable of burying their dead in a "World Spirit" that acts much the same as an Infinity Circuit.
Something to note here. Slaanesh doesn't kill the Eldar. Slaanesh CONSUMES them. As far as we know in 40k, they just cease to exist. In AoS they were able to be pulled out of Slaanesh's gullet, so potentially they're still alive maybe, but 40k and AoS do tend to have much different lore in regards to the chaos gods. So in 40k as far as we know, Slaanesh upon "birth" was so powerful in that moment that it was able to rip their souls from their bodies and just nom on them. Just feast. Not only did it eat the eldar, but ALSO their gods. It's unlikely being eaten by a hedonistic god is a very pleasant experience. An important note about Harlequins is, they go around to all of the eldar, Craftworlders and Deldar, and they make sure they remember whose fault it is that their species is suffering the way they are. Their whole troupe goes around and puts on a play basically criticising their species. It's great.
The Harlequins also put on plays about ancient Eldar gods and heroes. They're not just professional shamers, they're also the keepers of the pre-Fall histories and myths.
Personal opinion, the krorks were a huge threat to the aeldari. In trazyn's collection, there is a krork foot soldier, 12 metres/39 feet tall wearing power armour said by Trazyn to be more advanced than anything the space marines currently have. Additionally they knew logic, tactics and science back then. Theory that I support is aeldari backstabbed them to become the state they are today because during the enslaver outbreak from the warp, even though the aeldari shared the same creators, they didn't bring any of the krorks into the webway with them and started culling them once they devolved.
Quite; Mon'Keigh isn't the Aeldari word for "Human", but it can be more accurately described as "race of barbarians" and has been handed down generation by generation to whichever race the eldar like least that aren't the ork. The description of the original race to be given this name is, and I quote "The term is derived from the legendary cannibalistic misshapen monstrosities that invaded and subjugated ancient Aeldari lands until they were cleansed from the galaxy by the hero Elronhir.", which sure as shit sound a lot like Krork to me; which other species could subjugate the eldar despite being cannibalistic monstrosities (implying low levels of civilization cohesion and therefor intelligence)? And Elronhir may have found a way to trigger the "killswitch" of the Krork, triggering their devolution.
Warhammer 40k: the only fantasy universe that can make you look at 20 years of awful torture and say "Yeah, that sounds about normal, yeah. Not that bad".
It wasn’t just that the Eldar were murder frakking each other, it’s that they would resurrect after death with their memories intact so they kept want to raise the bar from their previous life. And every time they died they would deposit more of that negative and positive emotional energy into the Warp.

41:40 Humans have the biggest population in 40k, at something from 20 Quintilian to 40 Quintilian depending on how many hive worlds. The Orks are numerous because their FIGHTING POPULATION is literally 100% (modern nations have roughly a 10% to 2% fighting population), and that their reproduction cycle is effectively passive.
Eldar had their name changed to Aeldari because GW couldn't trademark the name Eldar. Same reason they changed the Imperial Guard to the Astra Militarum.
I wouldn't say they're a "force of good" but more of a self aware parody of their own species. Each troupe of Harlequins can done 1 of three different angles: the good angle, with which yes they become a force of justice, kindness, etc, enbodying the positive traits; the evil angle, where they commit atrocities equal or worse than the Dark Eldars; and finally the balanced one, where it's more chaotic in general and might either shoot you on the face to end your misery or heal you if they found you with a life threatening wound. So yeah, not really a force of good as a whole, but they're not evil or morally grey like the other factions. They just follow their own agenda, which in theory is teabagging Slaneesh so hard it stops being a faction in Chaos, but who knows really
OK, so I have a fanart in my head now for you with the slaanesh cat coffee mug thing. Slaanesh as a naked anime futa catgirl knocking a mug of eldar souls off a table into the warp...
My thoughts on the Fall of the Eldar, perhaps not strictly canon... Trillions of Eldar Psykers were influencing the warp, every day, dedicated to nothing but excess. Nothing was enough, they would never be satisfied, there was just a never-ending thirst for MORE. The Fall itself was just the moment that the Eldar, as a civilisation and species, became so DEDICATED to this concept of "excess" that they merged with the metaphysical concept of "excess", which we call Slaanesh. She-Who-Thirsts doesn't "eat" Eldar souls. She IS the collective soul of the Eldar civilization, which exists eternally in the warp as the platonic ideal of murderfucking. (That's also why Slaanesh presents as androgynous: Eldar are sexually dimorphic and since Slaanesh is made of Eldar, they are a fusion of souls with masculine traits and souls with feminine traits. The other Chaos Gods kinda just formed 'naturally' in the warp, so they're technically genderless as well but are perceived as masculine by most followers.) Any Eldar souls that exist are basically just wayward fragments of Slaanesh that haven't been assimilated into the immortal whole yet.
Slowly getting into 40K by reading some books and watching these. These guys just seem like Cenobites from Hell Raiser. Where death is a preferable alternative.
One thing about the "Imperium could wipe out the Drukhari if they really wanted to" bit, the trouble with Commoragh is it's pretty much impossible for anyone that isn't a Dark Eldar to find, and even then it's a god damn near-infinite collection of pocket dimensions where the normal rules of the universe don't fully apply. Yeah they could level the place if they could even find it but the resources and manpower needed to do so would be so astronomical that it just wouldn't be worth it.
You do realize a contingent of Salamanders wiped out half the nobility of the Drukhari right? It wasn't event he full amount, not even half of the Salamanders...and they wiped out half the nobility, the nobility's military strength, and wiped out huge chunks of their slavers. That is not even half of one chapter and they royally destroyed a large chunk of Commoragh. It honestly would not be hard for several chapters at full strength to wipe that city out entirely.
@@Nempo13 There's a problem with that. How easy would it be? And even then, what if chaos and the orks and every other faction decides to take over every other planet the imperium has?
If you put several chapters in Commoragh, chances are they'll be playing a guessing game trying to figure out where the hell Commoragh is for a millennia, and for the record, most if not all of the drukhari are there, so they're fighting at about 850 to one. for every space marine, there's ~800 Drukhari. This would be as bad as the Abyssal Crusade.
I'd argue that two and a half Eldar gods survived. I'm not sure if Isha getting saved/captured by Nurgle is canon, but I think people are generally okay with it so I'd count it. As for Khaine, while he wasn't destroyed and consumed, he can be considered dead in practice. There aren't any prophecy of him returning to power, or any groups collecting Avatars of Khaine trying to glue them back together into a full god. I think he's stopped existing as a god for good.
The only minor point that really stands out to me is that the Deldar aren't staving off Slaanesh by pleasing them, they are always slowly having their souls consumed piece by tiny piece and found that if you force someone else to experience extreme emotion you can consume pieces of their soul to replace what was lost. Not a real complaint, just a clarification for anyone interested.
I will point out, it wasn't the torture fucking, it wasn't the murder fucking, it wasn't even the body surfing cults (though that was towards the end, and pushed it right to the fall) it was the normalcy of some things. For instance, that infamous quote. "The highest form of devotion an Aeldari could do was serve themselves as a meal, ending with cracking their own skull open, and dropping their living brain into the broth as their body dissolved into it. Then the real torture would begin." The Eldar didn't fuck Slaanesh into existence, they squicked them into existence.
Dark Eldar: We have vanquished your world, you are now our slaves. Imperial peasants: Just slaves? You aren't going to kill us? Well that doesn't seem so bad. Dark Eldar: Prepare to be extremely disappointed.
I have no experience with Warhammer at all but I love this new podcast. Keep the good work. Also, every question I have about the lore is answered with the meme "Well yes, but actually no". Love it
Ok so i know my lore is a bit rusty but im pretty sure the humane empire was a star spanning thing. Actual im pretty sure they had an entire portion of the galaxy they colonized. I know for a fact that the eldar helped with the metal of man crisis and it was i doubt that the eldar would try so hard if the metal of man were just on one planet.
Way to go, Eldar, you literally fucked yourself into oblivion, and unless your leader, Senior Spiky Hat Tightpants does something, you can pretty much wave your hands at extinction. I won't be suprised if one day you somehow get Slaanesh to materialize into the physical realm.
Oh ; wasn’t there a time when the Golden Throne was having a malfunction, and of course everyone searched for someone who had the tech to repair it ; and the only ones who did were the Drukhari. So some Dark Eldars came in under heavy escort of Custodies and Mechanicus to repair it ; and they did. But the price they exacted was never disclosed. So ; if anything, the Dark Eldars might have some other ways to make sure the Imperium doesn’t have any interest in annihilating them
I watched the other episodes on the other channels so I'm gonna play them all at once muted in the background so this channel gets my viewership as well.
I wonder if the guys at Games Workshop based this on that experiment where these rats were given everything they needed, food, space, security, and the 'society' just self-destructed. Look up 'behavioral sink.' It's fascinating.
Adeptus ridiculous is definitely ridiculous, and therefore deserves top spot on my sub list. 100% worthy of the "I want all notifications" bell! Oh, and regarding the weird spelling of 'aeldari'. Being a British creation, games workshop took a lot of inspiration for names/words from 'olde worlde' sounding stuff from our own history. Just like a lot of imperial words are basically screwed up Latin, aeldari is basically how people would have spelt eldari before the English language was modernised and standardised. I think it has its origin in anglo-saxon language, where it was a translation of an original saxon rune, from before they arrived in England and merged with the native population. Games workshop being games workshop decided plain modern English wasn't cool enough, and through in a little theatrical throwback...because...
@@alexanderstraker69 Exactly! Best thing along those lines is the Clint Eastwood-esque "Astra Mili-what? You're in the guard, son!" Friggin' militarum bullshit, bah. It's all Guard.
Slaanessh only was able to kill and slurp up the souls of Aeldari that were close enough to the location now known as the eye of terror. Any Aeldari who dies has their soul captured by Slannessh. This is Slannessh having his/her pinkie finger in all Aeldari souls. Unless you have a soulstone. As long as you don't die, you can live without a soulstone. You don't automatically die if you drop the marble. If you die with a soulstone, your soul goes into the soulstone
On the spelling of Aeldari, this is probably mostly for the sake of legally distinguishing them from Tolkien's Eldar. But also, it emulates the letter Æ, as in "Æsir," suggesting a diphthong (a "gliding vowel.") This indicates that you are supposed to pronounce it as "Ell-dari" (like the letter L) or "Al-dari" (like the name) as opposed to "Eel-dari" or "All-dari." Now, most modern English speakers would pronounce Eldar like that anyway, but it's useful in languages where A and E don't share very similar sounds. Plus it makes the word look old-timey and fancy.
It's easier (but still a pain in the ass) to do checker patterns on minis if you use a precision knife to cut the pattern into painters tape and put that on the mini where you want the pattern to be and just paint over the tape.
I don’t know if I’m trippin but it does seem that when you actually go and learn the lore of Warhammer, it doesn’t seem all that intimidatingly confusing
Thank you guys for posting your content on youtube. It has made my long work commutes far more tolerable, and has furthered both my knowledge and enjoyment of the 40k lore!
Adding an A to Eldar was a way to to bastard-latinize the word (in order to copyright it). "AE" in front of a consonant is pronounced like "É", basically the pronounciation of the word is the same as Éldar, they mostly just added a superfluous letter to it. It's not GW's or the brits' fault if you have a Warhammer podcast but still remain ignorant of Latin and its alphabet. This change is inspired from Latin, not british English.
The Aeldari's depravity was probably a big contributing factor in preventing a large-scale power struggle between them and Humanity during the Dark Age of Technology, keeping them occupied with internal (pun not intended) matters. Therefore, were they to have avoided that phase it is possible something could have sparked a galactic conflict between Humanity and the Aeldari, which would be M.A.D., causing an alternate Age of Strife and leaving the Galaxy with a similar lack of anything substantial to check the Orks, Tyranids and Necrons.
Slaanesh was inevitable! The Eldar were a catalyst. Khorne cast a shadow in the warp. Chaos is all things and the opposite of Khorne is one of them that could only gain power as reaction and resistance to Khorne developed. To give players agency in the game, what people do needs to matter. Living in a way, in universe, that feeds a particular chaos power better than another should correspond to a flux in the warp that swells a ruinous power, relative the others. Quantity and quality would matter to such blasphemous calculations.
I blame the pointy-ears for the Tyranids too; while those muppets were futzing around with psychic play-dough they were broadcasting 'come and eat my braaaiins' signals out into the inter-galactic void. And then they get all mopey and leave dealing with the problem to humans.
Already liste to it on the bricky Chanel but leave à like right here !! Cool this became à Channel now, well done shy and bricky !!! Love you both and happy chrismass
I think the core of the chaos gods is misunderstood for the most part. It seems to me Nurgel is fear in general, and fear of death in specific. Thus everything that invokes or is related to that has been absorbed under his banner. Khorne seems to be the fury and determination of survival, tooth and claw. Slaanesh is easy for everybody, hedonism. The desire to seek out sensations and wallow in them. And birdman is the mystery of the unknown and the change it brings. I see these as being their core aspects and they just ate up lesser ideas as the chance arose from the same general family of thought until they bloated into the twisted things they are now.
I think Khorne might be more about pride than survival. They refuse any magic to aid in their carnage (and to survive, wouldn't one use any trick available?), and i've also understood that Khorne and it's followers can often have a respect for skillful, honorable warriors. I think i've also heard in one lore video that chaplains may keep an eye out for space marines who get too obsessed about mastering their melee skills and becoming the best. I agree that Nurgle has a lot to do with fear. His followers gain a kind of immortality and be freed from pain (pain being the source of fear; emotional or physical), though in return they become like a parody of the life they wished to preserve.
I mean in a way they were right. Slaanesh wasn't JUST murderfucked into existence. It was a species wide constant, many years spanning effort, of murderfucking, drugs, torture, and excess. Just take what the Dark Eldar do and instead of doing it because they have to, make that they do it because they want to. Slaanesh, in a way, represents the purest form of the Eldar in the height of their power.
This is the most I've ever wanted to "actually." I get that he's trying to condense a lot of lore, but he missed out on a lot of fundamental parts of Eldar history. I can't be mad, though, because this isn't really meant to be taken seriously.
Despite knowing the vast majority of the information brought in these videos I still cannot contain my enjoyment of the series, seeing someone getting into 40k is so fun

If you put several chapters in Commoragh, chances are they'll be playing a guessing game trying to figure out where the hell Commoragh is for a millennia, and for the record, most if not all of the drukhari are there, so they're fighting at about 850 to one. for every space marine, there's ~800 Drukhari. This would be as bad as the Abyssal Crusade.
I'd argue that two and a half Eldar gods survived. I'm not sure if Isha getting saved/captured by Nurgle is canon, but I think people are generally okay with it so I'd count it. As for Khaine, while he wasn't destroyed and consumed, he can be considered dead in practice. There aren't any prophecy of him returning to power, or any groups collecting Avatars of Khaine trying to glue them back together into a full god. I think he's stopped existing as a god for good.
I need that slaanesh cat and cegorach in the cookie jar image now
27:43 A strong parental figure is the best protection against the vileness of Chaos.
Robo's mom
The only minor point that really stands out to me is that the Deldar aren't staving off Slaanesh by pleasing them, they are always slowly having their souls consumed piece by tiny piece and found that if you force someone else to experience extreme emotion you can consume pieces of their soul to replace what was lost. Not a real complaint, just a clarification for anyone interested.
At 26:36 & notices Caliban. "Hey, your map is a bit out of date..." XD
Also F for Cadia.
F
Please, no tears. Its a waste of sweet suffering.
I was waiting for this one
Today I learned that Shy may have a gun...
I've done 40k on and off for about 30 years and this is the best effing Eldar summary I've heard LMAO
I will point out, it wasn't the torture fucking, it wasn't the murder fucking, it wasn't even the body surfing cults (though that was towards the end, and pushed it right to the fall) it was the normalcy of some things. For instance, that infamous quote.
"The highest form of devotion an Aeldari could do was serve themselves as a meal, ending with cracking their own skull open, and dropping their living brain into the broth as their body dissolved into it. Then the real torture would begin."
The Eldar didn't fuck Slaanesh into existence, they squicked them into existence.
Dark Eldar: We have vanquished your world, you are now our slaves.
Imperial peasants: Just slaves? You aren't going to kill us? Well that doesn't seem so bad.
Dark Eldar: Prepare to be extremely disappointed.
24:05 you can also use the nether for fast travel, making it even closer to the warp in a way
"Mom is protecting me from Slaneesh" t-shirt pls
"nothing is challenging us right now"
**laughs in microrganism**
I don't remember the last time I subscribed to a channel this fast...plz moar...
I have no experience with Warhammer at all but I love this new podcast. Keep the good work.
Also, every question I have about the lore is answered with the meme "Well yes, but actually no". Love it
This channel pleases the Emperor... Carry on in his name.
Yes that is true ..... Wait you're a member of chaos ! HERESY !¡!!!!!!
Ok so i know my lore is a bit rusty but im pretty sure the humane empire was a star spanning thing. Actual im pretty sure they had an entire portion of the galaxy they colonized. I know for a fact that the eldar helped with the metal of man crisis and it was i doubt that the eldar would try so hard if the metal of man were just on one planet.
Tyranids don't really cut off the Warp, I'd describe it more as a puddle going against a hurricane.
who is the puddle. and which is the hurricane?
@@mojn4249 Psyker is puddle Tyranids are Hurricane
@OHGAS you wouldnt have a regiment of psykers on standby but even if you had, it would still be water tower vs hurricane
I feel like I’m not alone in saying my entire understanding of warhammer lore comes from RUclips. Almost entirely leutin and baldamort.
Adepta Sororitis episode please! I know u want to Bricky
Battle mommies
@@TrippyScarecrow big mommy milkers with guns
Boy do I have news for you
Way to go, Eldar, you literally fucked yourself into oblivion, and unless your leader, Senior Spiky Hat Tightpants does something, you can pretty much wave your hands at extinction.
I won't be suprised if one day you somehow get Slaanesh to materialize into the physical realm.
Oh ; wasn’t there a time when the Golden Throne was having a malfunction, and of course everyone searched for someone who had the tech to repair it ; and the only ones who did were the Drukhari.
So some Dark Eldars came in under heavy escort of Custodies and Mechanicus to repair it ; and they did. But the price they exacted was never disclosed.
So ; if anything, the Dark Eldars might have some other ways to make sure the Imperium doesn’t have any interest in annihilating them
"20 years ago you had your 80's stuff" oh bricky...the 80's were 30 years ago
40 years
What is a few decades between friends? - Some Eldar probably
I imagine the Emperor is such a powerful psycker that he would be immune to the shadow in the warp.
Merry day afta' Thinkmas` Umies
"It makes a lot more sense that in the Warp" Canonically, with that statement, you've already failed in comprehending the Great Ocean lmao.
How?
@@JV-iv9ml Nothing makes more sense in the warp.
This podcast is perfect to fall asleep to, so I wind up learning the first 1/3rd about the video and then having to rewatch it
I watched the other episodes on the other channels so I'm gonna play them all at once muted in the background so this channel gets my viewership as well.
I wonder if the guys at Games Workshop based this on that experiment where these rats were given everything they needed, food, space, security, and the 'society' just self-destructed. Look up 'behavioral sink.' It's fascinating.
Adeptus ridiculous is definitely ridiculous, and therefore deserves top spot on my sub list. 100% worthy of the "I want all notifications" bell!
Oh, and regarding the weird spelling of 'aeldari'. Being a British creation, games workshop took a lot of inspiration for names/words from 'olde worlde' sounding stuff from our own history. Just like a lot of imperial words are basically screwed up Latin, aeldari is basically how people would have spelt eldari before the English language was modernised and standardised. I think it has its origin in anglo-saxon language, where it was a translation of an original saxon rune, from before they arrived in England and merged with the native population. Games workshop being games workshop decided plain modern English wasn't cool enough, and through in a little theatrical throwback...because...
Aaaaaalso they couldn't copywrite 'Eldar'. 'Aeldari', however...
Same thing with the Imperial Guard becoming the...-shudders- Astra Militarum.
@@KaiHarper89 yes, that sounds like a GW move.
You're in the guard son. None of this Astra mili-watsit nonsense
@@alexanderstraker69 Exactly! Best thing along those lines is the Clint Eastwood-esque "Astra Mili-what? You're in the guard, son!" Friggin' militarum bullshit, bah. It's all Guard.
Loving this podcast can't wait for more
slaanesh just showed and basically vored 80% of the eldar
then nurgle NTRd their surviving god by making her his wife in the warp
Slaanessh only was able to kill and slurp up the souls of Aeldari that were close enough to the location now known as the eye of terror. Any Aeldari who dies has their soul captured by Slannessh. This is Slannessh having his/her pinkie finger in all Aeldari souls.
Unless you have a soulstone. As long as you don't die, you can live without a soulstone. You don't automatically die if you drop the marble. If you die with a soulstone, your soul goes into the soulstone
On the spelling of Aeldari, this is probably mostly for the sake of legally distinguishing them from Tolkien's Eldar. But also, it emulates the letter Æ, as in "Æsir," suggesting a diphthong (a "gliding vowel.")
This indicates that you are supposed to pronounce it as "Ell-dari" (like the letter L) or "Al-dari" (like the name) as opposed to "Eel-dari" or "All-dari."
Now, most modern English speakers would pronounce Eldar like that anyway, but it's useful in languages where A and E don't share very similar sounds. Plus it makes the word look old-timey and fancy.
It's easier (but still a pain in the ass) to do checker patterns on minis if you use a precision knife to cut the pattern into painters tape and put that on the mini where you want the pattern to be and just paint over the tape.
Thumbs up for Sly & her Gallant editing skills!!!
Hope they talk about the elder gods and the ctan in more depth
I don’t know if I’m trippin but it does seem that when you actually go and learn the lore of Warhammer, it doesn’t seem all that intimidatingly confusing
I think truly the most haunting thing i have heard regarding the dark eldar is "above all else, pray they don't take you alive"
You guys have introduced me to warhammer 40k with this series. I loved warhammer fantasy but just saw 40k as too much thanks for proving me wrong
*Drops the marble*
"PRANK EM JOHN!"
@34:05 The Human Cent-Ikea 😎
In which Bricky starts another all-consuming war over the proper spelling of grey vs. gray.
Thank you guys for posting your content on youtube. It has made my long work commutes far more tolerable, and has furthered both my knowledge and enjoyment of the 40k lore!
Adding an A to Eldar was a way to to bastard-latinize the word (in order to copyright it). "AE" in front of a consonant is pronounced like "É", basically the pronounciation of the word is the same as Éldar, they mostly just added a superfluous letter to it.
It's not GW's or the brits' fault if you have a Warhammer podcast but still remain ignorant of Latin and its alphabet. This change is inspired from Latin, not british English.
Please more?
SOON
@@Adeptusridiculous I fucking hope so!
EVERYTHING CAN BE SOLVED BY FISTING - for the good old days Bricky, I miss you brother.
Does Slaanesh follow the 5 second rule when someone drops their soul stone?
The Aeldari's depravity was probably a big contributing factor in preventing a large-scale power struggle between them and Humanity during the Dark Age of Technology, keeping them occupied with internal (pun not intended) matters. Therefore, were they to have avoided that phase it is possible something could have sparked a galactic conflict between Humanity and the Aeldari, which would be M.A.D., causing an alternate Age of Strife and leaving the Galaxy with a similar lack of anything substantial to check the Orks, Tyranids and Necrons.
Slaanesh was inevitable! The Eldar were a catalyst. Khorne cast a shadow in the warp. Chaos is all things and the opposite of Khorne is one of them that could only gain power as reaction and resistance to Khorne developed. To give players agency in the game, what people do needs to matter. Living in a way, in universe, that feeds a particular chaos power better than another should correspond to a flux in the warp that swells a ruinous power, relative the others. Quantity and quality would matter to such blasphemous calculations.
If this ever becomes real merch my wallet will need to be hidden.
In some sources, Eldar started out as a slug like animal with big psychic potential. If I remember correctly
Bricky: says *anything*
Dk: 😬😬oh boy eesh yea that’s rough
These dudes sound very much like cenobites from the hellraiser universe
Please do Korn, it would be so good!
Bum da ta bum bum do weena RARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GO! Freak on a leash intensifies maliciously
This is a great christmas present.
I blame the pointy-ears for the Tyranids too; while those muppets were futzing around with psychic play-dough they were broadcasting 'come and eat my braaaiins' signals out into the inter-galactic void. And then they get all mopey and leave dealing with the problem to humans.
Already liste to it on the bricky Chanel but leave à like right here !! Cool this became à Channel now, well done shy and bricky !!! Love you both and happy chrismass
I just realized you have a whole ass bookcase on your back.
Dark Eldar turns you into Ikea furniture after they are done
24:25 That’s actually the point of the nether, it’s meant to be a fast travel dimension and was actually inspired by the Wheel Of Time.
I think the core of the chaos gods is misunderstood for the most part. It seems to me Nurgel is fear in general, and fear of death in specific. Thus everything that invokes or is related to that has been absorbed under his banner. Khorne seems to be the fury and determination of survival, tooth and claw. Slaanesh is easy for everybody, hedonism. The desire to seek out sensations and wallow in them. And birdman is the mystery of the unknown and the change it brings. I see these as being their core aspects and they just ate up lesser ideas as the chance arose from the same general family of thought until they bloated into the twisted things they are now.
I think Khorne might be more about pride than survival. They refuse any magic to aid in their carnage (and to survive, wouldn't one use any trick available?), and i've also understood that Khorne and it's followers can often have a respect for skillful, honorable warriors. I think i've also heard in one lore video that chaplains may keep an eye out for space marines who get too obsessed about mastering their melee skills and becoming the best.
I agree that Nurgle has a lot to do with fear. His followers gain a kind of immortality and be freed from pain (pain being the source of fear; emotional or physical), though in return they become like a parody of the life they wished to preserve.
"I'm gonna use por... A LOT in this episode!"
Brickie: December 24 2020.
Oh boy! I do love to be an aeldari at the height of our society. Sure hope nothing whacky and uncharacteristic will happen!
I mean in a way they were right. Slaanesh wasn't JUST murderfucked into existence. It was a species wide constant, many years spanning effort, of murderfucking, drugs, torture, and excess. Just take what the Dark Eldar do and instead of doing it because they have to, make that they do it because they want to. Slaanesh, in a way, represents the purest form of the Eldar in the height of their power.
I’d say worst job would be refueling the warp engines. Look that up….. it’s brutal
This is the most I've ever wanted to "actually." I get that he's trying to condense a lot of lore, but he missed out on a lot of fundamental parts of Eldar history.
I can't be mad, though, because this isn't really meant to be taken seriously.
So this is how it began.
Despite knowing the vast majority of the information brought in these videos I still cannot contain my enjoyment of the series, seeing someone getting into 40k is so fun
Nurgle giving emps an itchy nose is cannon now
slannesh models pre plastic were lot more feminine, with exposed busts [sometimes multiple]. Plastic kit came out and gw decided to go all pc and we got this one tit bs
I guess they didn’t want to be suspected as freaks
One tit? ONE?
So it's all the Eldar's fault.
"Idle hands are the Devil's tools".
Look up, see incoming ships, think "hmm what could those be?"
Minute or two later, look back up, think "Dark Eldar.... Man I wish those were Tyranids or Necrons right now, hell, I'd take orcs...."
