    And this book really does show the darker aspects of the Orks, like butchering « Humies » in Pit-fights as recreational shows or just dismembering a dude just because they liked the sound of his bones cracking and his « Funny screams »…

      Necrodermis, chaos, and the cruelty of Homonculus sounds a lot like the C'Tan to me.
      I don't think the Tyranids would benefit from a necrodermis, nor from being infused with chaos. They may get the same benefits from mutation without most of the drawbacks.
      The same might be true for the Orks, they would just have to believe in it strongly enough and their tech might get the same benefits as the necrodermis does. But I think that would be too much against the spirit of being an Ork. Also, they are already kind of chaos infused in their own way, but with Gork & Mork instead of the chaos gods.

    I think chaos would be the scariest, because while it is commonly depicted with their demons and cults and whatnot, if you consider that you could be attacked by incorporeal otherworldly manefestations of several different forms of suffering incarnate, I think that puts them a step above the tyranids. The tyranids are definitely the king of physical threat, but considering the dark eldar kill you way harder than the tyranids, and both fractions inevitably kill you, while chaos can literally be forever, I think they are firmly number 1 for me

    • @Dergo666
      @Dergo666 Год назад +5

      I would actually change places between Tyranid and Dark Eldar. Yes Tyranids are scary but at the end of the day to the everyday human they are giant predator animals. Scary but you will quickly know that they can't be talked to, reasoned with and know you're just food. Dark Eldar has the added horror that they are sentient, could in theory be reasoned with, have conversation but still they are exceedingly likely to torture you for as long as they can. The fact that they take pleasure from your pain and are sentient make them scarier.
      Kinda how a methodical serial killer is scarier than a Taliban terrorist. At least that's how I view it.

      @Dergo666 Yes, but that’s IF you know what the Dark Eldar are going to do to you.

    @Doombot221 Год назад +11

    I think one thing that maybe wasn't considered with Chaos is how the corruption of the ruinous powers might make the war scarier over time. An aspect of the chaos gods that I felt was decently shown in the HH novel Know No Fear, or the third book of the Word Bearer series, was how the corruption of chaos worked to psychologically attack and destroy what the defenders had previously loved and called home. Using their own minds, relationships, and memories as a tool to either drive them insane or corrupt them. Not sure if that would have made a difference in the ranking, but feel like that is another aspect which would be relevant to someone's experience of such an invasion.

    I'd like to make a counter point tot he more 'Human' looking enemies like the Eldar. That being the 'Uncanny Valley' effect. Something that *looks* close to human, but not quite there. In neumerous books, it's mentioned how humans intrinsically can tell an Eldar is inhuman. The way they move is, just, too uncannily agile and elegant. Their expressiosn too subtle and difficult to read.
    In a lot of horror, it's human-like entities that seem to get the biggest rise out of people, not space monsters. Emaciated, thin, gangly humanoids that look human but *not quite* seem to hit our fear factor.
    So, I don't think Art does justice to just how unsettling it would be to be in front of an Eldar. If you actually met one in real life, it's every movement, every expression, every little thing it does would feel instinctively... *Wrong*.

    In terms of the video title I think you got it pretty much bang on! I honestly would rank Drukhari and Chaos at the same tier or more or less equally. In expanding the title theme to most horrifying generally, it's got to be Tyranids and Necrons. Tyranids are completely unknown and unknowable and are literally unaware of any suffering they cause, and Necrons have no reason to fear death, and are bound by their machine protocols to bring anything with a soul to a state of inanimacy; and failing that, systematically eliminate them. Like, a genocide on anything that has a soul. 😂 Don't get it twisted, Drukhari have the most grimdark potential, but against Chaos they'd lose in every way; scared of Slaanesh? Lol, we'll take you to see it ASAP! Okay, thanks for my TEDtalk coming to.

      Can't agree with that. Plenty of factions can mobilise a force that the average planetary defence (or even a chapter world of Astartes) couldn't hope to fend off. What they do and how they do it is far more important in terms of terror, and while a Necron invasion would be terrifying, war of the worlds style carnage it just isn't in the same league as the Tyranids, Chaos or Drukhari.

    In my opinion, overall the nids are the most scary to fight against...but as an overall faction the dark eldar. Simply because they have a tool for EVERYTHING like, they can cut tyranid lifeforms from the hive mind, cause pain for the followers of SLAANESH the god that is centered around pain and stuff, and also...they seemingly found the way to immortality, both for themselves...and their slaves unfortunately. And they have all the tools to make said slaves life an eternal misery.
    So as an enemy probably the nids, they're weird and unknown, but the dark eldar use human turned into abominations. And i mean look at the haemonculi bloody hell.

    I think an element missed about the Dark Eldar is... Exactly how most of their weapons function.
    The basic weapons carried by Kabalite Warriors fire needles soaked in potent poisons. Among other things, they can cause the victims to suffer from agonising spasms of unbelievable pain while also preventing them from going into shock. Hallucinate and turn on their allies. Violently rupture and bleed from every pore.
    The battlefield of the Dark Eldar quickly devolves into a choir of screaming agony, the warriors peeling faces from their victims in instance to wear them as they charge the next line, the paralysed and hallucinating aftermath of their first wave serving only a warning of the oncoming horror to the next line of defenders.
    Worse, the attackers are actively empowered by this suffering. Wounds that would kill them are now shrugged off. They are faster, crueler and more terrible than ever. They indulge and torture their victims on the spot, force feeding them their own entrails. All the while laughing maniacally.

    Rynn's World is another good novel to show the horror of Orks. There's a scene where they cook a farmer alive in front of his wife & children, all the while laughing because they think it's hilarious. It also showcases the humanity of the Crimson Fists, both in the way they care about civilians & in their humour.

    Chaos absolutely #1, they're a massive faction that lives to inflict suffering and panic, horror is what they live and breathe and they are the distilled essence of evil. The Tyranids cause suffering as a by-product of what they do, which is collect biomass. They aren't sadistic, they're just infinitely hangry, but they are terrifying.
    1. Chaos
    2. Tyranids
    3. Drukhari (As sadistic as Chaos with horrifying combat tactics, yet they're; virtually unknown, tiny in number, and their appearance isn't as terrifying)
    4. Orks (Abundant, brutal, and well known, can be quite sadistic)
    5. Necrons (Eh. Efficient, cold, zombified, space mummies that are unknown to >99.9999% of the general population)
    ---------------
    6. T'au (Marxist space Na’vi can be scary. In theory it's great, but in practice, communism never works out.)

    I wouldn't sell the Necron so short if I were you. When you understand what it truly is like to fight them, you realize their horror is a lot greater than most think. I recall one Warhammer novel "Hellforged" I think it was, where a human officer took one look at the assembled Necrons and put a bolt through his own brain. And that was well after he had been fighting them for a bit. In the book, they remarked that the most terrifying thing about the Necrons, was how silent they were, how cold, how unfeeling, how utterly uncaring. Then there was the defenders inability to put them down. How frightening is a foe that no matter how hard you fight, no matter how much damage you inflict, they just get right back up and start killing again? Grinding you down to nothing, while making a mockery of your feeble attempts at fighting back. Also, bear in mind, the Necrons are the only 40k race to have "killed an entire race of gods" on their resume, twice. . . Oh, wait sorry, one race they killed, the other they turned into the world's scariest pokemon. But yes, they will usually kill you quickly.

    I believe the most terrifying to fight would be the Tyranids. That being said, I think the most despair inducing hopelessness would be the Necrons. Their power, technology, and history are just unbeatable. The emotionless death and destruction they bring....slow moving death. You can't prevent or stop it, it just induces hopelessness and fear as you wait for the inexorable end. Orcs need to fight, drukhari need to inflict pain, tyranids need to feed, chaos needs to corrupt...the necrons...they need nothing , they want nothing. They just bring death and oblivion and you mean nothing to them

    In my opinion the mechanicus and the Tau belong on this list. Because when you fight the mechanicus you eather get killed get a deadly dose of radiation or get turned into a servitor.

    Damn, while tyranids have been my favourite faction since day one for their absolutely terrifying lovecraftian horror elements (plus cool designs), i never did know the bit about the shadow in the warp causing perpetual globe spanning panic attacks. What I've always found most scary about them is the sheer hopelessness that facing them entails, and knowing that you'll be suffering from madness inducing panic long before you know what's coming, just that you know that SOMETHING is coming really cracks that fear to 11 for me. As a certain Peregrin Took once said : I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one i can't I can't escape is even worse.

    The most terrifying aspect of the Dark Eldar is that they torture and maim their victims...and that they really don't have to.
    They could bond themselves to a spirit stone that will prevent them from getting claimed by Slaanesh. They could forge a pact with Ynnead if they want to maintain their lifestyle.
    But they don't. They inflict pain, misery, and suffering and draw power and sustenance from it because they enjoy it. They are evil and terrifying because they choose this approach despite better options existing.

    If Uncle Roger was a psycher, the nids would probably project an image of someone using a metal spoon in a non stick pan into his head to make him scream one last "HAIYAAAA!", before his head explodes.

    A faction I would have mentionned is the Inquisition. Not only as an imperial do you know about them and constantly fear them, if for whatever reason an inquisitor thinks you, your city or even your entire planet is heretical, you're completely screwed with absiolutely no recourse, making you feel this constant sword of Damocles. They are also the faction most likely to kill you as an imperial citiozen, making that fear justified.

There is no situation in which a sister of battle could even attempt to put hands on a Wytch cult member! Like, there's no chance in fucking hell!! COULD NOT HAPPEN. "BUT KAYVAAN,
    SHE'S WEARING POWER ARMOR AND THAT BOOSTS HER SPEED!" I HEAR YOU SAY...STUPIDLY. I don't care if she's injecting nitrous oxide directly into her fucking neck veins wearing power armor there is no way a baseline human is putting hands on a Dark Eldar who is not just a regular Dark Eldar but I'm mother effing gladiatorial combat fighter who does that shit for fun! No-No had her fingers sliced off and wondered where she was reaching because that wrist she was going for is now shoved up her ass with about nine blades attached to it😂😂😂 LOL I'm sorry man it's just every time I see that picture pop up in a lower video or whatever I'm looking at it just makes me laugh and then it just makes me shake my head and thinking how disconnected was the artist who made this? And then I think wow way to tell me that you play sisters of battle on the tabletop without telling me that you play sisters of battle on the tabletop!
