Commorragh, also known as the Dark City is the capital of the Dark Eldar society. It's located deep within the labyrinth of the Webway, the space between realspace and the Warp.
Within the Webway, Commoragh appears as a composite entity of impossible scale as it acts more like a vast collection of satellite realms and cities that are all linked to one another by either an number of portals or other hidden pathways. As such, the Dark City can be seen as a loose collection of far-flung nodes spread across the passageways of the Webway. The most clustered concentrations reside in a reality that are scattered across the galaxy that are thousands of light years apart in some places. However, shortcuts are present that link these points together in the form of dimensional gateways that allow the immense distances of the sub-realms to be crossed with a single step. Runic wards are present that protect Commoragh from being breached by outsiders.

eww no I watch dankpods i know raycon is a con
please force dk to do a reaction stream to TTS
@@stone7281i second this. Given my own reaction to it, DK's should probably be priceless 😅
If the whole faction lives on one planet why has there not been a extermatus?
@@firesniperbullet2 if you mean the Dark Eldar, its because its not a planet. Its a deep section of the Eldar Webway. A little difficult to exterminatus a place that is neither in the Warp or Realspace.
"Who would be stupid enough to go VOLUTARILY into Comorragh"
*Throat singing in the distance*
Being Comorragh it could also be literal throats.... singing. Honestly would be Dark Elder to try and lure in white scars through having a tree of people or a people tree (most likely two distinct things when it comes to Drukhari) throat singing.
F-Zero theme song being sung through throat singing
@@FullMetalElric They would only respect the throat singing if they were sure they respected those throat singing first. Comorragh holds no sway over my White Scar boys until its damn well earned it. And it damn well won't.
I too love the Hu
White Scars are the best chapter.
Remember, if there's a Drukhari weapon on the ground, do not pick it up. There is most likely a hidden blade on its handle somewhere.
See this is why alien weapons are HERESY
Nope.
Lil' guys (tiny drukhari) inside, ready for you to pull the trigger so they can spill out like ants.
(If they can feasibly clone the emperor, they would clone tiny themselves for a joke)

@@DirtHermit Check under your dryer, though it's filled with awful lil' guy's
Reminds me of that one scene from Law Abiding Citizen
I wonder how many times will Shy show the Cleveland image in this episode
Imagine the Cleveland Tourism Video, but for Commorragh
@@mionn_naofaWANT!
♪Fun times in Commorragh again!(still Commorragh!)♪
i grew up in cleveland, the horrors of the east side live in my mind to this day.
Next time covering dark eldar get some bdsm stuff advertising ...
"I assure you, trusting us, THE DARK ELDAR, is a decision that will not bite you in the ass immediately." - "Xylatro
Oh, I believe it will, in fact. But just so you know: our good friend Kaldor Draigo over here just ate a sun. If we ask him nicely, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to release in the borders of your city
I THINK WE SHOULD HELP THE POOR BOY!
Funnily enough, he's telling the truth. The dark eldar will not bite you in the ass *immediately* , but *eventually*
Whether it's sooner or later, now that's the real question.
DK needs A wheel of Fortune style category for the quotes: person, place, group, etcetera.
That would be awesome
How would it work? Sometimes Bricky has enough trouble finding one quote for the topic. Would he just disclose the category before saying the quote?
Ah yes Edge City, The City of Edge, The Edgy City of Edginess
Oh, they edge oh so much.
They don't even sell chairs with intact bottoms there, because ALL YOU NEED IS THE EDGE.
WRONG LEVER!
City of edging
Teetering on the edge of edginess
genuinely shocked Bricky didn't mention the Mandrake vs Night Lords shit going on with their whose more spokey contest.
oh man now that you mention it that's a goddamn shame.
Maybe they'll cover it in the...mandrakes episode, that's surely coming...right?
That Kill Team box is probably the first GW product I was sorely tempted to buy at full price. I'm probably not going to, but GOD DAMN I like that combination of models. Even the terrain piece isn't half bad looking.
@@Bluecho4 im only buying night lords cuz im never gonna paint the mandrakes but it is a baller set
@@cigar_goblin4849Mandrakes are just so disappointing for Kill Team. A box of guys who all have the exact same load out? That is actually the worst thing to see in Kill Team.
Commorragh has also been visited by Fabulous Bill, who learned flesh crafting from the Haemonculi. I think he was also accompanied by Lucius, who entertained the Wych Cults.
Lucius was an unwilling guest, who was captured by Fabulous to entertain the Wyches. Unfortunately for the Dark Eldar, Lucius had a an excellent sorcerer who broke into the Webway, leading an army of Slaaneshie daemons straight into the city
Thank you, Fabulous Bill made me cackle.
Fabulous Bile: #1 Gigachad of all of 40k. Made the Haemonculi sit him down to have a talk about medical ethics and what is or is not okay to do with the torture slaves.
@@gama343
The list of what is not okay was extremely short (it contained only: "let them be painless")
Ahh you mean Slaaneshs chosen and a shitty swordsman
In the Jain Zar novel when she's in Commorragh she finds drukhari that had all their flesh removed except for on their heads with holes drilled in their bones so they play music when the wind blows through them. They're still alive.
Haha, funny and demented but mostly demented.
@@kalebgonzales4009 The best part is she basically just says "Karma's a bitch" and leaves them there
That is so horrifying it’s actually hilarious.
just like that one dude from Hunter X Hunter, minus the shooting tornados part
HE STILL HASENT SEEN TEXT TO SPECH YOU MUST FORCE HIM.
Commoraugh is a city like no other in the universe, a fact that the universe is grateful for.
In Warhammer 40k, whatever happens in Commorragh stays in Commorragh.
And thank the Emperor for that
Well yes, but actually no. That's part of the problem...
Until it's raiding time. Then they deliver the Commorragh experience!
That is, until Commorragh comes for you
I wish you were right...
We are getting turned into furniture with this one
6:11 DK has the miraculous ability to yank defeat from the jaws of victory in ways unexplainable by mankind.
He is truly the reverse Ultramarine. No wonder he hates them.
bricky being adamant about calling the stadium the staples center has the same energy as people refusing to call the chrysler building anything else
To be fair I think its less about changing the name FROM staples and more about the fact the new name is Crypto stadium. Can't blame him for not wanting to indulge that name.
Hey someone make a spiderman pointing meme with a nightlord, a flayed one and a mandrake pointing at each other.
Commorragh's ikea must be wonderful
My life is forever changed by the thought of Drukhari IKEA.
Those two Drukhari both have knives behind their backs. Nice touch!
The classic Commoragh Handshake. The better shaker lives.
They're called ears.
Commorragh is just London but bigger?
Drukhari have a book series featuring three books called
Path of the Renegade
Path of the Incubi
Path of the Archon
Written entirely from the Drukhari perspective and set entirely inside Commoragh it includes such fantastic elements as Vects Castigators, Vects flying doom pyramid and the history or Arhra.
It also sheds light on what the Aeldar are actually doing before the fall.
Also on the Mandrakes; Kheradruakh is a gigantic chad who can duel Primarchs and only lost to Vulkan because he got sucker punched by his hammer and lived.
"Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the pain of man."
The stoics would agree
47:12 One of my favorite quotes in TTS comes from this same sequence
"Eh... murderboning is nice and all, but I really wanted to commit a war crime today, ya know?"
"AND YOU WANTED TO TALK WITH THESE, QUOTE UNQUOTE, *PEOPLE*?!"
The Drukari are summed up in Mr. Plinkett's description of Palpatine "he's just so evil, and he loves it, and you've got to respect that."
Bricky needs to make DK watch Emperor's TTS for his homework.
Even better if they make a "DK Reacts..." Playlist on the channel.
no shit
52:00. Both Aeldari and Drukhari still do short warp jumps. The Webway is ancient and not all of its corridors work anymore, so they often have to find the closest exit portal to their objective (that might be a few planets away) and then do a short jump to reach their destination. They have to keep it brief because their souls shine really bright and will attract deamons, but they have their ways to obscure themself and their ships do warp travel way more accurate and faster than Imperial ships.
It's really funny to think Eldar almost never do Warp travel if they can help it, and yet are STILL casually better at it than the Imperium which does it constantly. That's hilarious.
Corsairs have a specific Caste/Career for this very crossing.
Drukhari has not been the longest. You’ve literally never done a thousand sons episode. Us dusty boys are crying over here
This is Commorragh, home of the Dark Eldar. If you're not betraying somebody you're the one getting betrayed.
I just started “The Big Dakka” so this is perfect timing.
57:06 i think im gonna need a source for this heresy.
To purge!
Yes... puuurge...
Webway Detroit
I had always assumed that Khaine's Gate was how the pre-fall Eldar resurrected.
So before the fall, "At this stage in history, when an Eldar died their soul eventually dissolved peacefully into the Warp to be reborn again. The Warp was not yet a hostile place for Eldar souls, and was inhabited by their own Gods.", but when the fall took place that was no longer possible as instead they were devoured by Slaanesh. The method through which the resurrection took place is unknown, however we do know that
- Khaine was an Eldar God
- the Eldar had control of the Webway, and the Webway contained Khaine's Gate
- Khaine's Gate directly links the Warp with the Webway
- at this point there was no reason for it to be sealed, as the Warp was safe for the Eldar and contained their gods
so from this we can infer that Khaine's Gate existed to directly link the Warp with the Webway, in order to allow the Eldar to resurrect by simply walking their soul through the warp to the other side of Khaine's Gate and crossing over into the Webway and be extension the mortal world.
37:05 Their are rules everyone follows. 5 in fact.
1: Make it worse in the most wtf way possible.
2: Nothing is sacred, and if it is, defile it.
3: Don’t do anything stupid that will get you killed.
4: Don’t mess with the Homunculi, Mandrakes, and Inccubi, if you do, your everything is forfeit.
5: “You can have anything you want, but you better not take it from me.”-lyric from song Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses.
42:15 Cursed hand wych: “Pull is the lever, slave.”
Slave: *pulls lever*
Wych: *fall into a pit of starved Tyranid rippers with the other wychs instead of dropping spectators into a bit of Necron Flayed Ones* “WRONG LEVEEERRRR!”
I believe that how the Drukhari got Big-E's DNA is revealed in "Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne".
You are correct sir
Dredd is one of the best 40k movies. Just a regular day for an Arbites trying to clean up a hive city
Tonight we learn that Bricky will tolerate space elves as long as they are Night Lords.
I really like that Da Big Dakka confirms what I always suspected about the Drukhari: that their vileness is a product of their environment and the systems they live under, rather than inborn. That no Dark Eldar is born _liking_ inflicting pain, it's forced upon them until they either like it, accept it numbly, suffer in silence, off themselves, or try to escape.
It's a perfectly internally consistent system. The Commorragh operates on an Anarcho-Syndicalist structure of exploitation and unjust hierarchies. Everyone continues treating each other and "lesser races" like shit, not just because it's the only life they've ever known, but because it benefits those at the top. Even if Dark Eldar wanted to change, their rulers won't permit it. Pitting the lower classes against one another exists as much to keep them from uniting against their masters, as it does as an end unto itself.
It's also why the Commorragh upper crust keep their citizens ignorant. Common Dark Eldar don't know much about Craftworlds, and only some about Harlequins. Even if they know other Eldar have ways to stave off Slaanesh, they're conditioned by culture and propaganda to see other Eldar as weak. Cowards too feeble or afraid to embrace the strength and pleasure that the Drukhari lifestyle provides.
Even if a Drukhari wanted to leave, and somehow knew where to go, it may not be possible to do so. You can bet your ass all exits to Commorragh are guarded and tolled. If you don't have an in with the Kabals or have the resources to pay, you're not leaving unless your betters allow it. Like impoverished people in Real Life, languishing in underfunded urban neighborhoods, most Drukhari living in Commorragh probably _literally_ can't afford to leave.
So while many Drukhari embrace their lifestyle out of hedonism and/or ambition, many just do it just to survive in a system built to keep them trapped. Trapped in cages of debt, exploitation, fear, and pain. With their masters above, hungry Drukhari below, victims in front, and She Who Thirsts ever behind, demanding her cut.
As someone whose parents worked the Staple's Center for years; FUCKING BASED! 3 minutes in and already my favorite episode of AdRic
The third Fabius Bile book is about 1/2 in Commoragh!
bricky you have truly had a glow up, a gorgeous nearly-full-grown man
"Why don't they make, like, a Dark Eldar book that goes into an archon's dealings in Commorragh?" etc
[screaming internally] THEY LITERALLY DO THAT IN THE DARK ELDAR BOOKS DK
God I wish we had more Eldar books. Those Dark Eldar novels and short stories are amazing, but like they are SO OLD. It can’t be hard to write a newer more up to day Dark Eldar novel.
And it's one of the best 40k books i've read.
As a fellow Devils fan, DK picked the wrong game.
" I cannot see. I cannot hear. " DARKNESS! IMPRISONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE HORROR!
TIMOTHY... MOAR WHINE!!!
Yoooo, why brickser so thin? Bulking ark should never end!
Hey DK we have the same birthday! Also so does Valentino Rossi if you know anything about Bike racing 🤷♂️ pretty cool!
39:07 The sound of disgust, defeat, disappointment, and that Bricky was halfway to repeating it. Absolutely amazing.
If you are looking for a place to read Dark Eldar lore read The Path of The Dark Eldar Trilogy. It's got it all, I'm shocked they never mentioned this
Dear bricky it's been a while since we've done a trilogy please read the fabius bile trilogy. Same vibes as nightlords and is important for the current 40k
Making Bricky watch Rebel Moon is something that not even the Drukari would do to him
Mandrakes fire kamehameha and steal peoples soul to cast spirit bomb xD
It’s kind of hilarious how over the top the Dark Eldar are compared to Fantasy‘s Dark Elves. In Fantasy, they are also basically known to be very well sea travelers and have Black Arcs, but there are also literally Vampire Pirates there, including a guy called *Jim Sawkins.* They are also not any more connected to Slaanesh than other Elves, which is almost none at all, only Morathi and her followers are connected to Slaanesh and that’s again after the lore shakeup that (kind of) removed her relationship with her son Malekith, main leader of the Dark Elves. And even then, while Dark Elves are known to capture slaces, it’s *nowhere near* on the same level as the Dark Eldar.
It’s like GW took Dark Elves and cranked them up to 11 in depravicy
I told my GF that we're going to commorragh for a holiday. She's so excited..
Just once you need to replace the quote with something from SpongeBob please it would be so funny
I just imagine in Commoragh gladiator arenas instead of kiss cams they have cams where if your caught on camera you go through saw traps after your seat drops
my soul left my body when dk said "why isnt there a book from the drukhari perspective" and then proceeded to describe the plot of the drukhari trilogy of novels by andy chambers basically perfectly.
yaaay they dropped a proper episode again
I still maintain DE are an annoyance at best. It's just that they're too entrenched to wipe out - like the Tau. B/
It is said some Drakes asked for........HUMAN HAND HOLDING.
Hearing dk not only second guess himself when he had it right and then trying to argue this is psycher related brought me the kind of pain the dark eldar would pay top money for
The Mandrakes sound like they're the John Wick's of Commorragh.
What the hell was that noise at 50:22? Almost sounded like Shy's synth voice whispering in my ear or smth.
My First Army Is A Drukhari, I love the Them
cut the crap and get to the tts already. nobody cares who these people are.
SO your Saying Its Just Monsters Inc. But Fun?
Ironic one of the best book for dark Eldar lore is Lucas the trickster which ties together space wolf heros and high end dark Eldar lore
Hey Adric gang. I just want to say your vids bring me so much joy when they pop up in my feed. I love to drink my morning coffee and get a little painting done before the stress of the day kicks in. And I always get lots of laughs and smiles listening. Keep up the great work!
39:14 I saw the incubussy come frome a damn mile away...
When shy puts up her fanart that has her either making bedroom eyes or "i put a pipe bomb in your gas tank" eyes (can't tell which), Brickys avatars arm makes it look like shes got a tiny hand and is asking you to pay up after losing a bet
An abridged summary of the Dark Eldar aka the Drukhari…
Lelith: “Hey, it’s your favorite Egirl, Lelith Hesperax.” *proceeds to kills people with her hair blades*
Rakarth: *doing experiments so horrible that the other Dark Eldar find them traumatizing with Fabious Bile* “What? What are you staring at?”
Drahza: *killing everything with his massive sword* “Mediocre.”
Mandrakes 4-armed leader: *pops out of the shadows* “Hey kids, wanna see a dead body?”
Lady Malys\Cegorach: *clown laugh/“BAZANGA”*
Head of the guard at Khaines Gate to infighting Eldar: “You can’t fight in here, this is the Gate Garrison. Do I need to remind you of the rules and consequences?” *points to Eldar walker made of wraithbone, skin, and is a sentient servitor*
Supreme Overlord Vect: *watching all this play out* “Hi, I’m Asdrubal Vect, and welcome to Jackass!”
Jaghatai Khan: *appears out of nowhere with Aun’Shi and fails to kill Vect because Vect threw Malys at Khan* “Do what you want Asdrubale, I’ll get you eventually.” *Vect, Rakarth, Tahril, Drahza, and Ur’iss sigh in 10,000 years of annoyance*
I just realized that Commoragh is named after and based off Gamorragh, as in Sodom and Gamorragh from the Bible.
I'm definitely getting the Nightmare box when it comes out. My stepdad's taking the Mandrakes, and I'm taking the Night Lords. It's a sick-looking kit.
Yvraine changed not only in profession but in BFF xD with guilliman in the line up xD *will never let the meme die*
Very much an evergreen meme!
The Drukhari trilogy is actually quite good
What I love about Commorragh (as in the city) is that multiple sources have claimed that its as big as a solar system .
If we are to take that information at face value and not chuck it to another example of GW being incapable of understanding how numbers and scale work, that would make the Drukari THE most numerous species in the entire galaxy.
Like, maybe if you combine all the humans and orks together, you MIGHT barely make things even, and yet GW still pretends that the Eldar are a species in danger of facing extinction.
Well... the craftworld eldar are nearly extinct.
Drukhari came along in 3rd edition, way after the "eldar are a dying race" thing was established. I guess the distinction between the two kinds was never really drawn.
A solar system is a sun and the planets orbiting it. Imperium has thousands of those. Dark eldar aren't as big as you thought.
The city may be that large, but there's no guarantee that the whole thing is occupied. Hell, a lot of it may be straight up uninhabitable due to time, internal conflicts, and Webway degradation.
@@secretname2670 my guy, that's not how that works.
The Impirium has a lot of solar systems but the people only live in space stations and on the planets (literally less than 1% of a solar system) not in the vacuum of space between the planets and the suns.
Take our sun, for example. You can easily fit 1.2 MILLION Earth sized planets in the space it occupies.
Now, imagine how many planets can fit in the distance between the Earth and the Sun alone in a single line. Now imagine the same thing for every planet in our Solar system and then once again remember that we are gonna need MULTIPLE lines like that.
There are the Dark Eldar novels, including Path of the Renegade, Path of the Incubus, and Path of the Archon. Those novels take place almost entirely within Commorragh and cover typical life within that hellhole as well as that Chaos incursion that was briefly mentioned.
Apparently, the 'correct' pronunciation of Commorragh rhymes with Gomorrah. The biblical city from 'Sodom and...' fame.
The similarity in the names is no accident.
I mean, if the Drukharis get a good deal out of it and the Rogue Trader can escape Commoragh and go tell to other Rogue Traders taht he got a juicy affair in Commoragh, that means a lot more Rogue Traders will tempt the fate. And a lot of them won't have good enough deals and will be slaves. on the contrary, if no Rogue Traders ever escape from Commoragh, why would they go back? ^^
Yvraine wasn't born a Drukhari, she was a Craftworlder of Biel Tann, that left to become a Corsair until her fleet was destroyed during a Dark Eldar raid and became a wych.
Even Lelith Hesperax got the hell outta Commorragh. Lol.
Lets not forget, if a Haemonculus turned you into a coat, you're still alive....
In the game Rogue Trader, the Haemonculus Tervantias gives you a cloak as a reward and in the description it mentions the person is still alive. Lol shits wild.
screaming couch: I just think they're neat
but most slaves don't know what to expect from eldar. but hope isn't wrong if its EVENTUALLY proven right. its a BITTER pill, so bitter many can't swallow it.
you must survive. its the only way to eventually accomplish our goals. after all memory is more malleable than you think, just like flesh.
The unwritten rules of Comorragh:
-Do not use psychic powers unless you are a Harlequin Shadowseer.
-Follow the orders of Supreme Overlord Vect.
-Follow the orders of your local Kabal/Archon, unless they contradict the orders of Overlord Vect.
-Don't mess with the Incubi, Wyches, or Haemonculi.
I have waited so long for another AR episode on my army!
"...completely copying Leutin..." 🤣🤣🤣
Also
I submit myself to be paid to watch the worst movie you can find for 24hrs.
To give you an idea about the homunculi, they kept Fabius Bile as a pet for a while and got really mad when he left
If you are captured by the Dark Eldar, there is a 99.999999999% chance you are tortured to death in horrific ways unimaginable by human minds.
There is a 0.0000000001% chance you become the slave responsible for polishing Lelith Hesperax's weapons and puts the little spikes in her hair.
I like those odds.
DK we share a birthday happy birthday my dude!! You currently have one of the most “city of cleveland birthdays” the area code in Cleveland is 216. Our birthday is 2-16. Embrace your cleveland birth rights!
29:58 I think DK and Bricky missed the point of the quote. The speaker is saying it might have been better for all the Elvis’s to die with the fall rather than be reduce to their current state. The drukhari are drug addicts constantly trying to source their next fix. The craftworlder eldar are forced to be numb to life and the beauty found in it.
And people say T'au are weebs? Those Mandrakes are the most hardcore "shinobi wizard" characters I've seen in literal years. Just one of those dudes is the villain of a short arc - heck, there's an opponent right near the start of Demon Slayer who's kinda' like these guys. And the basic art on a white background is a dead ringer for Genichiro's seconds phase in Sekiro!
I guess they got the Drukhari publicity debuff, because I'd expect WAY more attention to come these guys' way. Coolest Dark Eldar thing I've ever seen.
The aeldari-Slaanesh and Dark Eldar relationship makes sense when you look at it in a figurative sense. You know how at 30, people already joke about feeling old and not being surprised by anything anymore, at 40 they stop giving a fuck completely, and at 50+ they're often "done with life"? Just imagine the oblivion of experiences over centuries and millennia, and what it'd take to feel something new and exciting after all you've already been through by then. The excessive upping of the ante just to experience interest in anything for a few more fleeting moments before it becomes familiar again would have to be crazy. So upon death, yeah it'd track that their souls' destination would be the kind of 'place' that's the embodiment of all that excess of experience they've been through throughout their lives. Dark Eldar, however, with their perpetual rabbithole pursuit of further refined pain/torture/etc keep pushing that envelope of experience, they keep that sun on their personal horizons from fully setting - so keeping that final oblivion of Slaanesh at bay.
You know, speaking of length of time from last spoken of, I don't think you've ever done an episode specifically about the Ynnari, their whole deal and what they've done. You just mentioned Yvraine when talking about Guilliman. Nothing about the Yncarne or the Visarch or Eldrad's ritual or their stuff with Yriel...
I really like what they did to the Mandrakes in the later editions of 40K.
When I started, way back in 3rd edition, they were already described as "the most terrifying of all the Dark Eldar", which really says a lot about how nasty they should be. The models? Looked liked your average Dark Eldar, but with less clothes and a special kink for leather straps and metal rings. Profile? Exactly the same as the normal Dark Eldar warriors, but with less armor and close combat weapon and a pistol instead of the standard rifle, giving them 1 additional attack in melee while being less than useful at range. Special rules? A unique type of infiltration/deep strike, which was mostly just worse than the normal ones and made them twice as expensive as the normal warrior.
I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone ever played them competitively, and the only thing awesome about them was their fluff in the rulebook. They also had a named special character; Kheradruak the head hunter, who never received an official model, but was supposedly the worst thing you could possibly face in Commorragh (according to the fluff at least), and could be the one reason to field a minimum size unit of mandrakes just to get him in your list. His description would make him closer related to Wracks than the redesigned Mandrakes however, with extra arms and other bits grafted on by some mad Haemonculi.
So no one's gonna tell DK about the Path of the Dark Eldar books? The trilogy's got everything he was asking for in them. Yeah, they got issues, but... I mean, they weren't THAT bad. Kinda. If you squint a little and turn your head as you read them.
If Mandrakes arent covered in this episode...maybe AdRic could add them to eithervanother Xenos species vid or a vid on the Species in Commoragh or something cuz there isnt alot on Mandrakes to make an episode solely about themselves. Maybe add them with the snek bois, the medusai parasites, Ur-Ghuls (i think that's their name?) The Khymerae, the blade spiders, etc ?
There are Dark Eldar books :) Path of the Dark Eldar... An omnibus from 2015, the first book in the series being 2012.
Only Orks and Space Marine books sell. That's why other Xenos don't get much play. Even when they write new Aeldari lore (Ynnari) they accidentally bring back a Primarch and no one cares about the Ynnari anymore.
Given that Da Big Dakka just came out, there’s no better time to familiarize yourselves with the existential horror that is Commorragh…
My favorite meme about mandrakes:
The incubi asked me why I always carry a blast pistol.
I answered: Mandrakes
He laughed, i laughed and the shadow laughed.
42:57 - I could totally see various forces of chaos doing this. Like Dark Mechanicum or Tzeenchian Cultists doing this, thinking they are top dog.
There are some good eldar books! Rare, I know, but Gavin Thorpe is by far their best author, and I would highly recommend the path series for eldar books.
He also wrote the Ynnari books, but those are only good if you hate cwe because they're posh and plot armour. Gavin actually wrote them to be flawed and to even admit "we are idiots" - Yvraine. If you like eldar for always be right and pulling wins out of nowhere gavin is not your guy. So eldar fans generally hate his work because elves can lose and be wrong. Why also being not immune to chaos and tyranid influence.
Bricky - "... If they wish so they can contort you into a sofa..."
DK - ".... or a lampshade..."
Damn DK i see what you did there xD didnt expect antisemitism from this podcast but dam that was a good one xDD
funnily enough
I'm in a DH game rn, my GM was a G and let me play as an Ogryn using OW rules. The game started with us assaulting a tower of rebels, but then dark eldar show up. And they brought mandrakes.
The mandrakes were strong, but point blank full auto ripper gun was stronger lol
2:50 Like any real Chicagoian will refuse to call the Sears town anything else...damn right! (Fuck that crypto BS)
Honestly I think Dark Eldar lore is pretty cool stuff...and they are dark and ominous without being chaotic in nature.
