20:49 My favorite example is from one of the great crusade shorts where Corax forgets to tone down his primarch majesty aura at a gathering of nobles and remembrancers. One of the historians freezes up and just screams, all rational thought crushed by awe and terror, until Corax realizes what happened. Mix the predator reaction with uncanny valley, both dialed past 11, and top it off with a touch of the Warp. This would later feed into Corax's conclusion that the primarchs were a mistake.
Imagine your an immortal unstoppable angel of the emperor then an angry blue alien in a giant fancy stealth suit comes in your fortress ministraty and kills you and good amount of chapter.
The unnerving way that Space Marines and Eldar move sound similar to how the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are described in the book. Not the movie, but the book. They are too fast, too quick, and the way their eyes look just mess with people's heads.
I think the new Warhammer episode from Secret Level was like 99% accurate to how space marines fight. They have no wasted movements and they move so unnervingly
The Eldar are on a whole different level. On the high end they're able to go toe to toe with the CUSTODES who themselves have no problem mowing down Space Marines like chaff. And the trully terrifying thing is that with enough dedication and training most any Eldar can reach this level. For them it's a matter of skill, not of physical capacity like for humanity.
You think that's on a different level? Try being an average human bearing witness to half the shit the Necrons get up to. An invasion is terrifying enough, but imagine you see one casually make off with an entire platoon of guardsmen or a full ass Titan like they're Pokémon. How would you even process that?
@@samiamtheman7379 not to mention the reanimation protocols and the fact that since they're robots their vehicles can do maneuvers that would kill living people.
To add to that Transhuman dread thing, and to underline something I'm now stunned by: there are some Astartes Chapters who do combat trails with Aspirants sparring with full blown Astartes (out combat armour). They have to, as _kids_ , overcome their Dread and attack them in order to have a chance to pass the trial. Edit: On the Eldar thing, I remember one snippet Baldermort did of Drukhari and Commoragh, where a captured Imperial Fist, fully armed, gets taken apart, piece by piece literally by a Wych in arena for the entertainment of everyone watching. It's stuck with me ever since then because it really put everything I've learned about them into perspective.
Felix quit aging in the books because of his sword that he acquired which was magical in nature and a bane against dragons. Between that, being around Gotrek with his enchanted axe, and the fact in one book that Felix basically wielded the dwarf version of Mjolnir and lived is all why he stopped aging.
Imagine if Gotrek and Felix were in other settings like Lotr, the Silmarillion, Narnia, the books Black Cauldron is based off, Witcher, Wrinkle in Time, GoT/Song of Fire and Ice, or DND? Now imagine how many problems and horrible events would have never happened as result? Side note; We should have gotten a 3 part story about Gotrek and Felix ending up at Naggarond and freeing a imprisoned Shen Zoo. What follows is the trio going across Naggarond, Lustria, Ulthwan, the Southlands, The Tomb Kings domain, Araby Bretonnia, the Empire, the holds of the Karaz Ankor, and finally Cathay. Getting various companions from each place and faction as well as meeting named characters like Grimgor, Settra, Teclis again, Greasus, Thorgrim, Grombrindol, Alith Anar, Tyrion, Volkmar, Malekith, Ghorth the Cruel, Astragoth, The Von Carstiens, Alberic of Bretonnia, Zhao, Miao, Makaison, Kat, Ulrika, Max, etc. Why we never got this trilogy is throughly beyond me.
Another example of how Gotrek and Felix are scary… During one of the adventures Malus Edgeking, and “Not-Hobbs-the-tiger” they faced against the dwarf human duo. After which, the Slaanesh daemon Tz’arkan, in no small terms or attempt to hide his fear, demanded Malus never fight the two again. To say nothing of Teclis how is terrified of Gotrek. Or Mannfred von Carstien who took off running at the sight of the two… twice might I add.
These two simply have the most enormous amount of plot armor in the entire setting, nothing interesting. They are even more Mary Sue than even Tirion and Teclis. That's hillarious.
When I see animations of space marines, I like to think that how fast they move is the only way we can see them. I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I view as how cameras can only pick up after images of fast moving objects
Hell imagine meeting Dante. You meeting this walking talking gold statue is bad enough, but imagine seeing his still beautiful but gaunt and beyond ancient face that’s somewhere between a super predator and a marble bust. And that’s to say nothing of his eyes, behind which is dark brooding, unimaginable rage and hunger, and the will to endure longer than the fucking west roman empire!
45:53 My car is a Ford Taurus. It's honestly nearing 20 years old, thing has a messed up valve in the engine, possibly two, thing has 10 miles per gallon less than when we first got it, and it just. Keeps. Going. No, not an advertisement, just saying: yeah, no, I get the comment you made. This car has far outlived its life, it needs a whole dang new engine, possibly a transmission replacement if having to fill the transmission fluid four times in as many months out of nowhere is anything to go by. Freakin' car is a zombie at this point, yet it just refuses to die on us.
I feel like he goes a bit too into factions in general in this video. Like with Necrons, if you want specific protagonists, take the classics of Orikan the Diviner and Trazyn the Infinite. One has the overpowered ability to turn back time until he gets an outcome he's satisfied with and has briefly ascended to godhood before, while the other casually kidnaps people, often several at a time, or even entire buildings full of people without them even noticing something is wrong and has them in stasis forever, completely unaware of what's going on unless he wants them to be.
thats true about the eldar. just seeing a banshee in action would be beautiful if you were not the target otherwise it would be terrifying for any normal human
I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
I would like to argue that Eldar are objectively better than Imperials in 40k. If we compare the two, at first they are completely on the same level in parallel: - Eldar would sacrifice lives of any number of any other species to achieve their goals - so will humans; characters like Uldrad that Old Man mentioned are arguably just better at this, hence the scale with the human vs ork example, but I bet we could find some examples of Emperor or Primarchs being able to match him. Hell, one might daid Imperium as Emperor's project by itself brought much more devastation to the gakaxy than any plans set in motion by the likes of Uldrad. - Eldar look down on humans and other species - humans look down on eldar and other species; Eldar are haughty and uppity - look at any human leader, look at Space Marines and their believe in their superiority. - Eldar created Slaanesh - humans gave Chaos it's biggest bestest armies and champions, and allowed not just one new but three other Chaos Gods to wage wars on the scale never before seen. In the same vein, as Eldar provoke orks or necrons or whatever, humans meddle and antagonize the same forces too, arguably on an even bigger scale. - And the list goes on. However there is something that's different between the two. And that is: - Eldar are better towards each other, at least Craftworld ones and exodites; as a civilian, your life in eldar society is leagues better and heaps more fair than the life of the rarest most lucky Imperial on the rarest "it's totally like a democracy but with tithes and Imperial Cult" Imperial world. - And arguably, eldar leaders being more baseline advanced as thinkers and seers than vast majority of human leaders and human Administorium, outside the select few exceptions, means that any goals or any maintenance of the society is done better, more efficient and with less errors. Which, again, is an overall net boon. Of course there are things like Chaos foiling eldar plans specifically, but the same can be said about humans and any other species. Overall, I would say Eldar and Imperials would be morally equal if most Eldar was Dark Eldar or close to them in nature. As it is, for Craftworld Eldar and exodites, while they are of course monsters like any other faction in 40k, they are definitely better than humans. And I think it's kind of the point. Elves of any type in any fiction serve as kind of a foil to humans, species thats overall better than us. In classic fantasy like Lord of the Rings it's used directly, elves are an inspiration for humans and their betters. In grim fantasy like Dragon Age elven fall and enslavement used as tragedy. In 40k the fact that Eldar are struggling and are not that better than humans despite all their advantages is a kind of a tragedy too, as well as an illustration of grimdark nature of the setting. But still, saying that humans are somehow morally better than Eldar is delusional.

I am trying my hardest and failing. What's the second one?
@ it’s when Kais used a new ghostkeel battle suit to infiltrate the angels of absolutions main base and as usual he caused havoc among their ranks
"You brought back SCARBRAND?!"
"It was an accident!"
The Lion walking into the same room as one of his brothers gave off the same feeling in them; the feeling that a Predator just walked near you.
Settra just existing makes The Chaos gods shiver....

@@edim108 True, though I was referring to specific characters, not the Necrons in general since the video's supposed to be on WH protagonists.
The LOOK! 😂🤣🤣😂! The look you’d had Old Man when Pancreas said Thanqol summoned Scarbrand!!! 😂🤣😂!

Sly Marbo is the only human that isn’t affected by trans-human dread
Ogryn are human somewhat too
Sly Marbo is also absolutely cooked in the head
Do you think Spartans 2s would cause transhuman dread?

2:36 That devotion prevents you to say the name of their empire.
14:33 my words same as Old Man's..... Scarbrand? instead of summoning what you wanted you summon the one and only Scarbrand?
Watching an eldar move to me would be like going from standard def tv to 4k. It's weird and to me very sketchy seeming at least at first.
Space marines are as scary as velociraptors from jurassic park
