There's alot of aspects about the aspect warriors I like. I like how the striking scorpions are green, I like how the howling banshees are a little green, I like how if you took the blue of the dire avengers armor and mixed it with the yellow on their plumes you'd get green, and I like the warp spiders teleport ability.

Hello
@@netherhulk5012SUP
Ah yes Arhrar who is definitely dead….
For someone Living in a place crawling with Scarabe, Scorpion and Snake (lot of them) i can relate.
KrakDuk has got to be one of if not THE best Warhammer 40k channels out there
if not THE best out there, period.
Agreed brother
Lmao I can hear this comment
If not the bestest!😊
Yeah I only just found him recently but have watched pretty much everything on the channel now, love the fun style and simple explanations
This is one of, if not the best 40k video I've seen.
You need to see Astartes
@@welkiesshitpost7156 glad you like this one😎 thanks for watching
my guy played space marine with PancreasNoWork ONCE and he's become an elf simp.
@@Torma25 Mr No work corrupted me. I’ll need to make some more imperium videos to reverse the taint
@@KrakDukplease leave my taint alone 😢
The Eldari are one of if not the Faction of Warhammer
Agreed
The Eldar have or are one of the greatest pantheon Warhammer setting in the entire faction.
In Fantasy and AoS, probably the coolest elves out side of the Lord of the Rings. With The Elder Scrolls coming in 3rd because I think they make good bad guys there.
It's a shame that the writers almost never do them justice. The only author I've seen portray them competently is Guy Haley in Valdedor. Gav Thorpe writes them like they rode the short yellow bus to school.
Krak duck: Aspect warrior are the coolest elfs
Exodites who are freakin dino riders: am I a joke to you
Harlequins who are well, Harlequins: all to the cegorachs plan
Need a Harlequins video
random horse: *nuzzles me*
me: *laughs* easy now
Path of the Outcast: _cricket noises_
Drukhari: He forgot about the most numerous of us
@@minichad5456 counterpoint: striking scorpion with dual chain Sabres and face guns
Let me know your favorite Aspect Warrior type! In the next part I hope I can cover the rest of them, but if not I'll at least talk about the fire dragons and Reapers
Fire Dragons, because it´s just five dudes(or dudettes) with fusion weapons
Shining Spears! Bold to take a spiky stick into future gunny sci fi warfare.
Howling Banshees because hot elven women dancing exotically 😏 with giant swords makes me very happy
@@liaratsoni8556 Okay buddy.👍
@@liaratsoni8556 banshee my fav too
I know pancreasnotwork is happy someone else likes eldar
I have also dedicated myself to the path of watching you talking about the path you've chosen.
Aspect warriors have the usual elf problems. You train for hundreds of years and some filthy mon'keigh gets a lucky shot when there are thousand guns pointed at your unit.
It's better to be lucky than good
-some random guardsmen who just killed a phoenix lord with a Lasgun
This is what we in the biz call a 'skill issue'. Just dodge it.
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandleguardsmen are the epitome of assist kills.
@@aidan-h3p they would but their Plot Armor literally weighs them down. Their OP energy which should be theirs is what is given to the Plot Armor of Ultramarines to make things fair
@@bongibot1104 hey, some Eldar do have a skill issue, that's why they die.
The only difference between a guardian and a harlequin is skill.
So whenever you see an Eldar fail to kill anything up to and including a Custodian, it is literally a skill issue.
My spirit stone will be shattered if I find out the Warp Spiders and their silly condition of possibly warping and not being able to warpout aren't mentioned in this video.
MY SPIRIT STONE IS SAVED!
@@martymiarty5078 I used my seer council to know you would say this and added them in last minute🙏 it was almost just the first 3 but then I wanted to include the spiders cuz they’re cool
Imperium fan here, I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR THIS! I wanted to know Eldar lore in an easy way and you deliver! Make sure to occasionally do some more videos like this because I shall arrive every time.
I now actually like the Aspect Warriors because of this video.
I love that eldar scorpions are clearly inspired by Predator. Dreadlocks, stealth, shoulder mounted weapons
*points you towards Karandras' model...
They even have the thermal vision they're about as blatant of a reference to Predator as Catachans are to Rambo.
8:05 "So it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to anyone maybe ever". So there was a thingy with 1 maybe 2 planes that... Nevermind
Thats quite informative about Aeldari Aspect Warriors especially Scorpions and Screaming Banshees. Kinda afraid what the Drukhari version looks like.
*stares in Incubi
Honey wake up krakduk posted
Happy 30th birthday, Warp Spiders!
Once these happen in plastic I'm starting my Eldar army - an entirely arachnid themed collection built around Spiders and Scorpions is on my bucket list!
Did that with my own Craftworld (Meananar, lit. Striking+Spider). All Warpies, Scorpies and Hornets/Nightspinners/Scorpion tanks/Wasp Walkers/Support weps with spinners/Autarchs with the scorp/spidey bits, anything with an insectoid name or part. Works out rather well, esp when you model a Skathach like an Spidey Exarch.
SCORPIONS ARE ARACHNID?!
@@GeminautVA Yep!
@@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet Cool!
That’s going to be my kill team once they finally update spiders!
I do find it interesting that the scorpions helmets have little barrels that can shoot darts at enemies when they get close to them.🐱
Power-armored face-gun chainsword predator-themed space elf ninjas. A bit over the top, as is proper.
honestly its pretty smart when you fight things like the nids as they jump on you and get way too close O:
This is the best, if not, the Best Warhammer Tuber of all time!
This is one of, if not one of, if not one of, if not one of, if not one of, the 40 thousand warhammers.
Oh yeah! So glad it was mentioned how Warp Spiders use literal Hell as a shortcut.
@@lordviddax9748 it beats rush hour traffic I suppose
@@KrakDuk Where we’re going we don’t need roads… or pavement… or any conformity to fundamental laws of nature and logic.
Do pack a sandwich and remember your spirit stone though!
Yes!!!! Finally!!!! Eldar love!!!! I’m a sub now!!!
Think Fire Dragon or Shining Spears are my favorite Aspects, though Banshees are right behind those two.
"What do you do?"
"Meltagun."
"And if that don't work?"
"More meltagun."
Crimson Hunters all the way. Planes are cool.
Lore bit: Arhra, after being expelled from the Phoenix lords, went on to found the Incubi that now serve in the Dark Eldar, and is "rumored" (read: it just actually is) to become Drazhar
@@ThineDude yep! When I was drawing him I tried to kinda mix the scorpion style with incubi and the drazhar model as a nod to that “rumor”
@@KrakDukhot take: you should include Incubi as Aspect Warriors lol
I am a dedicated Crimson Hunters enjoyer. Best aspect, no contest.
I find it distinctly hilarious that the whole reason the Eldar are so strong in the 40k era is just being better at fighting than everyone else.
It takes 22 organ implants and the finest wargear at the Imperiums disposal to create a warrior equivalent to the regular Eldar professional soldiery.
Then the Harlequins roll around and literally clown on Custodes, the apex of the Emperors arcane genecraft, still with no modifications whatsoever.
An Eldar will ask how to become strong enough to best a Custodian, and the answer is genuinely 'git gud'.
Whenever an Eldar dies in battle, it is literally a skill issue.
Absolute gamers.
Don't some space marines struggle with Eldar speed
@@Jedishill680 indeed. They are some slippery bastards
Yeah these arent your all natural tree elves, these guys and the orks were created as soldier species. So thats why they are on par with astartes.
Woke up to this playing in the queue, very nice!
Blah blah blah, boring, gross little Xenos, I don't wanna hear it!
Exterminatus...
2:13 HE SAID THE THING HE SAID THE THING
I FUCKING LOVE KRAKDUK
I am currently reading the book Path of the Eldar in which the Striking Scorpion's wargear is explained....and YES, the eldar's chainsword is silent, it just humms when turned on.
@@MentoliptusBanko oh so that’s where it’s said. Good to know! Thanks for pointing it out
So you're telling me someone is hosting a warhammer themed cruise...
Tbh, I consider the Path of the Outcast cooler. Because pirates and freedom to do as you wish in this soul sucking galaxy (at the cost of your soul being more likely to be consumed by Slaanesh).
I would so buy stickers of your eldar designs. I want those warp spiders on my water bottle at the gym
Just wanted to say I’m pretty grateful for the videos you’ve been making. They make it easier for normies like me to learn abt the daunting abyss that is 40k lore
not to mention learning the types of units. it helps when i like a certain army but have no real idea what they are comprised of, this made me appreciate more of the army i like :D
I really wanna see you explain the krieg civil war. Anyway amazing video as always this is one of the best if not the best Warhammer channels of all time!
Despite having dated models, the Swooping Hawks are my favorite.
"The Dredd inflicted..." was an inspired touch
@@tominns1561 glad you caught that one lol. Thanks for watching!
Striking scorpions are Yautja rip offs...
jain zar is one of my all time favourite 40K characters. ever since seeing them for the first time in DOW and learning their lore, the howling banshees have been a favourite of mine.
*"Our cries herald the coming of great pain for our enemies"*
My favourite aspect is the Slicing Orbs of Zandros, sure their lore is one sentence long but as a kid I’d imagine them as the Disc Fighter from Yu-Gi-Oh
People have done some cool models though
I love the vids and by all means keep doing you, just some personal feedback. I enjoy watching warhammer vids before bed and the bright white backgrounds make it unenjoyable since theres awesome visuals but such a blinding backdrop, just something to consider if you read.
Man i hope they update more aspect warriors.
Mad love for the Warp Spiders!
KrakDuk: “the (insert random Warhammer unit) are one of, if not THE best unit in 40k” 😂
@@VanBur3n there’s too many damn cool things in 40K😭
Can’t wait until you cover Emperors Children without getting demonetized 😂
Go off tho!!! Know no FEAAARRRRR
Damn you KrakDuk, for cursing me with the knowledge of the battle barge I must now drop 2K on.
As much as I don’t care for the Eldar, I will say I love the aspect warriors. They’re really neat and I wish GW would give all of them a full range refresh already!
Seriously, the Swooping hawks models are from ROGUE TRADER.
That’s badass getting sponsored by a fucking Warhammer cruise
THE GAV THORPE NAME FLASH. That made me laugh... Then made me cry....
But this was probably the most well described video on the aspect warriors I think I've ever seen. Like seriously, you managed to describe their themes, aesthetics, fighting style and wargear all in a fun, snappy presentation.
And anybody that gives the space elves some respect is good in my books.
Instant subscription, can't wait to see part 2.
Eldar femboys are a thing.
Did you think we didn't know that?
I think that's the most diplomatic way of saying "murder orgied" a chaos god into existence I've come across lol
Yeah, the Aspect Warriors, the Wraithlord/Wraithguard, and their cool hover tanks are what got me into Eldar. I would argue the Avengers actually are kind of specialized, since they’re really good at mowing down light infantry. As opposed to the Dark Reapers, who are better against more heavily armored foes. Kind of like the ranged equivalent of the Scorpions and Banshees.
pheonix lords but only 1 went bad and they are and say it with me eldar lovers *ALL ALIVE*
The cruise better have strict hygiene policies. Otherwise, it will be one of, if not the STINKIEST ship on the seas.
Coolest Eldar? This is heretic xeno propaganda!
Art style really drew me in, like the channel, but what's Warhammer?
I hate elves but now they seem kind of cool ( I can’t believe I said that) now I dislike them, just like the huntress from Risk of Rain 2
Sry I respect the bag.. usually. But cruises are a scourge on the ocean and horrible for the environment in general. Look it up if you wanna have a bad time.
The Battle Barge things sounds awesome until you realized that a percentage of people in the tabletop hobby don't necessarily know what hygiene is.
I have 30 howling banshees so its my fav i guess but i love the look of swooping hawks. I have full squads of all of them from 2nd or 3rd ed none of that new crap ewww
Video suggestions:
War in heaven
Fenris
Ultramar
No xenos are cool.
This comment is presented to you by the imperium of mankind
Can we just talk about the fact that the best of the best human warriors are on the level of the eldars conscripted civillians😭
I love the eldar. And yes, aspect warriors are more than a match for SM.
3:08 i don't get it, Susass?? Sus ass?? is it a English or a warhammer joke? i seriously don't get it, i do think it's an Ass joke but still don't get it
Honestly you remind me of the fat electrician, anyways very nice stuff
Love the references to the weapon skills with dices (3+, 4+), that's the best!
Went on a cruise for my honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing.
Could you please do a video on dreadnoughts and maybe a few notable stories of them, also do dreadnoughts get painted there chapters colors? Like if a salamander gets put into a dreadnought is the dreadnought green?
11:26 this freakin' guy
First time I got stung by a bark scorpion, I felt a poke and lifted my bare foot. It was in the den just chilling on the rug, and as soon as I saw it, it ran over and stung my other foot too, then ran away. 😂
I like his genuine enthusiasm. Like a true Warhammer fantasy fan I despise elves in all shapes and sizes, but the Aeldari are an exception for some reason
I see why gw needed to cull the eldar numbers. These guys would booty penetrate the imperium
In excited to see your channel grow I’ve been a fan since the octarius war video and your channel has grown so large in such a sort amount of time and your content deserves every sub keep up the good work
12:06 RISK OF RAIN MENTIONED!
It will never cease to astound me how people simultaneously shit on Thorpe for his eldar while praising eldar lore that he wrote
That cruise will smell worse then a Nurgle pool party
Hank Hill confirmed Exarch of the path of Propane, who'd a thunk it
0:41 that happened to me. I spent so long painting my kasrkins and then bam got murked by a giant tyranid. I forgor its name
Eldar Guardians are more close to Space Marine level.
Duk, your videos rock. Keep up the awesome work!
RISK OF RAIN 2 MENTIONED RAHHHH WTF IS A BAD SOUNDTRACK (CHRIS DONT MISS)
I chose the path of the outcast because Eldar Corsairs are the best pirates, if not _the_ best.
I have a question of those who know the lore is there any cadian space marines or no bc wouldnt it make sense since the ones from cadia where warp restinace so its like a buff already on top of the stuff they get as a sm?
That's a very respectable Like ratio - the emperor approves 🫡
They really are just elder space marines chainswords and all
Pleaseeeee krakduk , do Maugan Ra please of the eldarrrr aspect warrior pleaseeeeee
I just ordered an old box of Eldar models and now you post this HOW DID YOU KNOW??
think of the investments of doing a blood angels vid
Never before have I been so close to playing eldar
Best lore content for warhammer 40k right here
awesome!!
Between heaven and earth, only the Eldar are the weakest.
its really weird that the avatar of khaine is also a Daemon as well
Can you exolain the siegw of terra?
Congrats this is the most elder lore I know
The tone, the jokes, and the art you present the lore in is my favorite from all the 40K channels out there. Every time someone says fall I always laugh a little and think about the fall of Cadia drawing. Plus you got very cool and interesting takes on certain characters or ideas of 40k. Keep up the good work bro.
Thanks KrakDuk
