Intro by Henrik Sigeman - เกม
*Furiously takes notes and adjusts Fortification plans accordingly.*
Imperial Fists lol
rogal dorn would be proud.
*Reads instruction book on how to activate my new deathwatch gear*
*Fortifies planet
Dark Eldar never show up cos they cower at the sight of glorious fortifications.
KommissarKek Those crazy bastards raid planets in the middle of evacuating away from Tyranid hiveships approaching the planet. Forts don’t bother them at all.
Drukhari are like: "Hipitty hopetty, mon'keigh are now my property!"
Like the dutch then the french and then the english and (relatively recently) the US than now China is slavin away and eventually "other Sentient life throughout time" then the Dark eldar!
mon'kek
Veikka Räisä was
Veikka Räisä was is
Veikka Räisä Unless they end up raiding Catachan...then it's.
Catachan Gaurdsmen: Hipitty Hopetty, Get The Fuck Off Of MY Property! *Fire's up Flamer*
*Planet exist*
Imperium blinks
*Planet dead*
Salamanders: VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Nah, it's just a clerical error.
*White Scars
Vect:"Yes! Scream my NAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!"
🤣🤣🤣
Honestly you’d think the Administratum would have a info book, like some kind of cheap pamphlet like thing filled with the do’s and don’ts of being a planetary Governor
-if it’s green, shoot it and burn the area
-if it’s blue, shoot it and anyone who looks like they listened to what it had to say
-if it has pointy ears shoot it and hope to the God Emperor you hit it
-if it’s metallic and came up from the ground, shoot it...multiple times just to make sure it doesn’t get back up
-if you see giant bugs in the sky that are definitely not part of your local mega fauna, shoot it and spray copious amounts of big spray.
-if it looks like you but has an 8 pointed star shoot it!
Note* the shooting should also coincide with loud and constant screams of “HELP!” for as long as humanly possible
Borat jumani Shouldn’t this be part of Guardsman guidebook for Dummies?
Great information
I think planetary governors are often doing whatever they want and administratum has more worrying problems than a few governors that... deal with xenos as long as they pay taxes of course
you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me
@Warren Jefferson Instablaster =)
Me, poorly explaining the dark eldar to a friend: Basically they're Monster Inc.
ThePatMann so they could flourish as a race if they just discovered laughter?
Jim Oerther if I remember my lore the dark eldar can get spirit energy from any strongly felt emotions. They could get the energy by love or making people laugh...sadly they are just assholes.
Panda Ace They should just embrace the laughing god then.
Endless amusement awaits.
Their entire arsenal is literally killing jokes.
Jim Oerther that would put an interesting flip on their torture devices. 😂😂
White Scar: "To the Hells with you, Xenos scum."
Dark Eldar: *_"You know NOTHING. Hell is only a word, the reality is much... much worse."_*
Jake Frost A nice reference. A movie about how not to travel through the warp.
TAKE A SHOT EVERY TIME ARCH SAYS:
Generally.
Essentially.
Particularly.
Specifically.
But hey, details!
Relatively speaking.
In all due likelihood.
As humanly possible.
LazyLife IFreak you are forgetting specificaly and particularly
And "details."
Very, very
no thank you sir i want to live.
I died along time ago
In the immortal words of Captain Diomedes "they are no match for the .......
BAAAAANEEEEEBLAAAAAAADEEEE!"
Barry Bend By the throne i have read it with his voice in mind.
Ork Freeboota: "Deez pointy-eared gitz are doin' it all wrong. Itz simple! Da biggest git calls da shots! Ya don't need all dis Bad Moon Ekonameee squig-crap!"
"Zoggin' knife-eared idiots..."
Living as a Dark Eldar sounds like perpetually playing Mordhiem for your entire life.
Marijuana Merlin it basically is unless you're poor, then you just die and get sent straight to super hell to suffer beyond anything you could possibly every imagine.
@@zenoblues7787 Bump into someone on the street of knives? Believe it or not, straight to super Hell
>fly in fast
>rape and stab things
>Get out before the Bro-Hug Chapter shows up
You forgot steal.
It's more:
> Fly in fast.
> Abduct anyone they can find (And they are hide and seek masters).
> Get out and as a result doom the ones abducted to something that makes hell sound like a vacation (Simply being raped or stabbed being something a long the lines of paradise in comparison).
Just give me a book where they set up a perfect raid then right when they show up, oh look it's Vulkan!
They did it with the orks.
>Pray the Wolves of Fenris aren't nearby
>Failing that... prepare thy anus.
"In the Wyches games... Audience member or active participant"
*_THERE'S A DIFFERENCE?!_*
Internet Zen Master Well I guess if the Vert just murdered a couple of assasins that day and going to the games to enjoy himself, I think the last thing he would want is a bunch more idiots trying or accidentally shoot at him, so yes, there’s a difference, the difference is easily spotted, the audiences are people with guards and shields, participants are everyone else.
7:42 there a actually a term for this in economics. Slaves have a near inelastic demand. Since all dark eldar need slaves to survive they have to purchase them. So the price is what ever the cabal believes their customers can pay. If that's 110% of an average dark eldar salary well that's just unfortunate it's it*sarcasm*. The only thing that might lower the price is massive influx of slaves, but this only seems to be done for rationing purposes . I can see why vat birth is neccessary to keep this race alive.
I wonder does the constant near starvation of the lower classes help feed the dark eldar in Kabals?
Tavern Burner possibly, but it's likely it's a drop in the bucket compared to the constant murder orgies.
I doubt it helps that Dark Eldar are so treacherous and evil that odds are pregnant mothers would be as fair a game as any other Dark Eldar within Commoragh.
The Dark Eldar know you need to keep your rape-economy pegged to a hard currency to deal with elastic demand.
To be fair, the only eldar who'd even CONSIDER having naturally-born kids are the "aristocracy", which can usually afford luxuries like those. From what I recall, the eldar have an exceptionally hard time breeding, so while struggle snuggles are no doubt common in their ghettos, I doubt there's all that many pregnant women, even with rape babies. So, I guess that's kind of a silver lining in a really fucked up way? I don't fucking know. According to all known laws of biology the dark eldar should be dead by now, so it's kind of hard to apply our logic to their society.
A better question is why they don't use vats to create new slaves?
An arch warhammer upload AND an alfabusa TTS episode within 24 hours?
Is it slaneeshmas already?
do you mean HAPPPY GREAT HORNED RAT DAY!!!
More like Khornmas..
Actually Nurgmas
happy sanguinala
Both on Dark Eldar, too
The only planet I can see them invading successfully would be Uranus.
ey
Unfortunately the planet's name was changed because astronomer got tired of these jokes.
Jimmy Puffits well Arch does like bad dragon
Slaanesh has already claimed it.
Nobody can penetrate Uranus if its filled with Imperial Fists and White Scars.
Bruva Alfabusa releases a video with the focus on the dark eldar. Not even a day later, Arch does the same. Coincidence? I don't think so
Another part of the Emperor's Plan! Continue to watch it unfold.
Conspiracy
hotel? trivago.
SQEK
I think we're receiving a subtle signal of an impending Dark Eldar attack...
Dark Eldar completely deserve the hell they made. At least take solace when ones head is crushed under a space marines power boots they go to see a gleefully happy Slannesh who will greet upon them far more torment then they visited on they're victims.
For the Dark Eldar to avoid open combat as much as HUMANly possible, they'd have to qualify as human first.
Last I checked, they do not. So it would be more correct to say they avoid combat as much as ELDARly possible.
I couldn't resist :D

Dark eldar simulator would make dark souls look like super Mario Bros
Bloodborne?
Wow, DEldar in Text to Speech Device AND an Arch lore video? I’m a very happy Archon right now haha
Reminds me of the Barbary Corsairs who raided European coastlines for slaves right up to the point the Europeans invaded North Africa and converted the countries there into colonies.
Kim Kardashian wouldn't have enough of a soul to feed them.
a hel I'm pretty certain that the haemonculi already had they way with her, under the knife as it were...
a hel she has one?
I think we need to test this hypothesis - for Science....
Dark Eldar like isolated Ice worlds with promethium mines. . . why do I feel like this is hinting at something that is going to happen in the Lurking Hunger campaign?
That sounds like a planet sized Icy Hot.
Lan'lara weaved effortlessly to her left. An amused sneer began to creep along her black coloured lips, as the bayonet thrust missed the bare skin of her midriff by the merest of margins; a hairs breadth; so gloriously close.
Her right hand lashed out instinctively as he passes. Her wickedly serrated blade opens his throat wide. Another three Guardsmen die before the body hits the floor.
Lan'lara never stops, moving forward through the melee, her blade flicks out as if it were a living thing of bloodthirsty sentience.
Lan'lara feels the rush of invigoration as each blow lands; a jolt of energising life for every perfect deathstroke.
The Human Guardsmen react with a statuesque slowness as though they are made of the heaviest stone, but die as if they're made of glass.
Her elven agility and perception give her a laughably superior advantage in the visceral intimacy of close quarter combat; the humans barely registering her before their life is stolen.
A hoarse grunting bellow, snaps her from the trance like blur of battle frenzy.
The Guttural, barbaric, braying of an officer; that meant the possibility of a challenge.
Lan'lara moved with the fleet footed grace of her species. Guardsmen disappeared in splashes of hot crimson, painting her alabaster skin with vibrantly rich lifeblood.
The officer had seen her coming. He fired his clumsy, oversized pistol.
The rounds stopping just inches from her gore streaked form, colliding with the flickering shadow field enveloping her body.
Lan'lara pounced at the human, clasping a hand on the back of his neck and plunging her blade through his chest then sinking her teeth into the pulsing artery in his neck.
He died badly.
He died quickly.
Lan'lara screamed a frenzied warcry to the skies, her orgy of death and murder was only beginning. She was only getting started.
She is Dark Eldar. This is what she does best.
you got one thing wrong, he didn’t die quickly. There are ways to make a person die painfully and very slowly with very few steps, especially if you understand the physiology of your target.
Also if I was the dark eldar, I ‘d chomp on the vein instead, it lays nearer to the skin, spurt blood slower, so the victim die slower, more agonizing, also a well aim chomped can make the blood flood the pulmonary system, making the scream muffled yet at the same time choking your victim with their own blood. I’m sorry, I ought to be on some watch list now.
manh phuc thanks for feedback.
I'll note the medical stuff down for future use.
I've not been writing long, I write these just to test myself.
It was a daft spur of the moment thing, didn't really plan anything at all, just started typing.
Adam Wilson I know man, I do this kind of stuff all the time too. But sometimes some people point out some inaccuracies took them right out of the experience, I know to usually research my stuff before I wrote it down. I’m currently working on a medieval story now and I’m researching medieval weapons armor and their uses fanatically. Of course you can’t normally consult anyone on how to off someone slowly and as dark eldarly as possible, but it never hurts to ask someone from the field, like people who get gut shot in war movies and have time to have last words took me out completely. IF YOU HAVE STRENGTH TO HAVE LAST WORDS, SAVE IT FOR SCREAMING INSTEAD BECAUSE TAKING OUT THE BULLET IS GONNA HURT, A LOT.
manh phuc sound mate. Thanks for the advice.
I do research for my stories but I like to write little short stories like this on impulse, with no writing aids or wiki, because they're just for fun and unimportant really.
I'm currently writing a dark fantasy but I've hit the proverbial wall.
So I'm just brainstorming.
Well that's terrifying. Give me Orks anyday.
MadJustin7 I’ll take tyranids instead
I'd rather the blueberry weebs.
@@mattaffenit9898 agreed
I have a feeling Arch got inspired by the latest TTS video and decided to make this video
I think it takes longer to make this video... or rather, upload with his connection. Arch's Internet-connection is notoriously bad.
More Dark Eldar stuff down the line please, didn't realize that i actually liked dark eldar lore. It's extra GRIM DARK ! and here is some praise for you effort...
Well done, you didn't shit the bed.
So Black Templar lore video in 2050?
Warex
I'm sure a certain crusader would approve of this message, 'tis a shame the crusade is over.
He hasn't covered Rogal Dorn or the Imperial Fists in their lore video yet.
Ah yes, the Vikings in Space, that'd be something interesting, considering that the one who'd be reading it is Norwegian. He mentioned them during the Gene-Seed lore video and then there's...THAT conflict on a certain world that later resulted in them fighting against the Grey Knights.
This dropped at breakfast. So I guess the menu in eggs, bacon and squik.
Coming over from the TTSD episode makes this all the sweeter *WUB WUB INTENSIFIES*
That WUB WUB wouldn't be a reference to a certain Claptrap would it?
How would Dark Eldar react if the planet esentialy go full on Krieg on the start of their psychological campaing?
Is there a documented case when a world reacted by offering such vigorous resistance that The DEs were like "fuck this shit, aint worth the trouble" and ran away?
I don't know if anyone has done this story before, but I think it'd be a great novel if a Dark Eldar starts a raid, right before 'Nids attack the same planet.
OMG I come home from work and see that I have 46 minutes of Text-to-Speach, 46 minutes of Arch and 4 hours of Lurking Autism to listen to!
WaWSpottedPigWaW Have you forgotten battle brother today is SANGUINALA
"Find something warm and squishy to play with"
Love you Arch!!!
Great video, chap! I'm glad to see that your videos have improved, from my pov. Will deffo share
Finaly !! I have been waiting for this bruh...
Huuummmmm he mentioned promethium mining on ice worlds at 13:04 ~. Arch, are you hinting at some thing hear?🤔
If the PDF can't even defend against a dark eldar raiding force, it pretty much makes them useless.
You could say that about pretty much everything else.
So is the lodge just dead at this point?
Comrade Corbyn yes
I assume so. Imperial Bürocrats are already looking into it. Expect more precise Information in the next few decades.
NO SUN
Jotaro kujo it's a stand
Da pointy eard panziz are a bunch of gitz
Man I needed this lore video today
Good timing arch , alfabusa just got done another episode featuring their dark city
I am wary of a lot of things going on in 40k lore right now, because I am a huge edgelord who loves stuff like Slaanesh and the Deldar. The new events seem to be building towards a family-friendly "Age of Emprah" setting which is a huge no-no for me.
Who would win in a race: Dark Eldar or White Scars?
The Evil Sunz.
Trying to figure that one out is why the Khan has been missing for the past 10k years.
Yes! Thank you arch!
High above Plaint EARTH the Dark Elder receives an update of there terror campaign
"Good News commander After we sent our snatch squads after those on that Wish list they sent us our ratings are closing with Celebratory Big Brother"
Hey Arch love your lore videos I would love for u to do a lore video on the imperial navy as well as the types and classes of ships and the weapons used on said ships.
I just finished reading the book series "path of the dark eldar". That is 700 action packed and interesting pages right there. Can highly recommend it! Also made me want to start collecting and playing Dark Eldar, these guys are just sooo grimdark and awesome!
Arch! Love the videos going to become a patron soon. Got a question of you have time. I can't find the beast arises book in the black libary where should I look?
Arch would be te best leader of the earth defense against anything in 40k.
Yay new arch video
Dark Eldar fucking with a Forge World... Oh, please do. It would please me greatly to see the Dark Eldar taking on 10 Skitarii Macroclades, Legio Cybernetica, Ordo Reductor, and Auxilia Myrmidon support, a Titan Demi-Legio, and up to three Knightly Houses... I can already hear the squishing sounds. 🤣
Arch Warhammer
Thanks. I'll learn to appreciate the BBC more from now on, lol.
I will be honest I did not expect an actual ad this time.
The comercial breaks I never mind watching in full
Hey guys read dark harvest. Its a short story that features the dark eldar as the antagonists. Really gives a feel for their unique brand of horror.
Targets like a largescale Promethium Mining operation, on an Icy Planet... hmm... Say, Arch. Was that a spoiler, implying that Arith will meet with lots of pointy eared new friends, in the upcommung lurking hunger episodes?
Long since you made a lore vid, thanks
Do a video about their vehicles and weapons systems. I'm digging the Dark Eldar videos. They don't get a lot of you tube love,
Where did you get your population numbers from? I've poured through the books and the only impression I got is they are more populace than the Craftworlders.
During the Kaurava conflict the Imperial Guard were some of the hardest hit by Dark Eldar "Hit and Run" tactics. These raids - often small in size - came under cover of darkness and at lightning speed. Often the Guardsmen on duty would not have returned a single shot before the Dark Eldar ships were speeding away laden down with captives and other spoils.
The Dark Eldar penchant for speed, fear and striking from the shadows served them poorly; however, when they found the 252nd Conservator Regiment pounding on their door, no amount of running or hiding could save them. The Imperial Guard swept over the Black Heart Cabal's compound on the moon of Lacunae, crushing everything under its mighty marshal treads.
The Imperial Guard Soldiers were horrified at the tortured and mutilated comrades they saw there and when their victory was near this was channelled into a vindictive rage. Which did not subside until the enemy's buildings and vehicles were shattered, levelled and then crushed into dust.
good video Arch
Arch what is this piece of music You ale usług at the conclussion of your videos? itp absolutely fantastic
Alfabusa uploaded a video with the Dark Eldar.
Arch uploads a video concerning the Dark Eldar.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!
What about a video about The Minotaurs Chapter? They are one of the coolest chapters out there!
Eh i'd love to personally execute every single one of those traitorous backstabbing cunts. at least the Greyknights perform a needed role, the Minotaur's are the bitch boys of the high lords of Terra.
Adam Redmayne Uhm the Minotaurs are massive ship combat specialists, if there’s a space hulk game, one of the most normal chapter to expect is in fact the Minotaur since boarding action is their specialty.
12 am here. Should be sleeping but fuck it, new lore video.
Seemed that there was a few times in the video where you had a change of word choices, and didn't edit them out properly, one being around the 39:28 mark, a change of Planetary Commissar to Planetary Governor.
Stephen Flint I think that’s intentional since Arch being Arch it must be a reference to the war for Armagedon and a bunch of other Commisars like the guy in Gaunt Ghost.
Best Ad segues in all of TH-cam
Nice video !
Drukhari ante portas... Release the Deathwatch!
Well, I think these vids have convinced me to make Dark Eldar my next army. Xeno player for life, I suppose.
In all info i heard online Drukhari attacks the easy targets and avoids to dangerous confrontations. But what i wonder is, Can they match up with a space marine in close combat, can they out shoot a tau. In all lore it talks about insane grace and skill in wyches, and kabal tactics and tecnology. But what happens in a real confrontation?
Arch, can you do a 40k community spotlight with commissar gamza?
Ahh, my lovely morning warhammer lore.
Dark eldar society is how i imagine ancap societies turn out to be
It was kind of awkward once i realised that DE are the only capitalist society in the entire WH40k universe
Well...that has to be the most retarded thing I've read today.The ancaps do tend to stick with their "non-aggression principle",so any semblance between ancaps and DE is only in your head.
damm i forget the difference of normal eldar to this
27:40 dark eldar attacking holy terra.... that would be a sight to witness
That´ll be only a bother to the clean up crew later. Dark eldar blood is probably even harder to get off than normal blood considering how much shit they injected into themselves...
Too risky and not enough manpower or eldarpower to warrant such an invasion.
I always thought of the Kabals as mafia familias just without the pressure of law enforcement of the state
which one would win? Supersoldat from wolfenstain vs space marine?
Arch, can you do one on Tau. I am writing story involving Tau attacking an outlying Imperial Shrine world. This vid was great because when both sides are fucked the Dark Eldar turn up. Perhaps a planetary defense vid too. What does the Imperium do when a planet is attacked? Where do populations go? Do they hide underground? Do they evacuate entire planets? Is everyone imediately conscripted? Or are the populations left to fend for themselves?
Where do the nobels, high up in the spires of a hive city plan to survive orbital bombardments?
At what point is a world concidered lost by the Imperium?
Can fleets be seen approaching in space (given that the Tau aren't actually in the Warp) or can they still be seen psychically?
Thanks, keep up the good work.
Imma try and answer these.
1: If they’re lucky enough a psychic message will get out to someone who can help, but this can take a very, very long time for the farther out worlds.
2: I believe they’ll simply stay within their Hives, as they’re very deep underground and nearly impossible to destroy from the outside. These cities can survive orbital bombardments with their walls alone. Depending upon the world and situation, civilians are either put in bunkers or whatever the commander feels is necessary, you can always make the whole population a penal legion if you need more men.
3: Until any help arrives, basically any Imperial world under threat is on its own unless there’s a nearby fortress world or Astartes fleet passing by. And if the enemy has either taken over the world, or is about to take it, the Imperium may take their ball and go home, in the form of a planet cracking bombardment just to make sure those filthy Xenos don’t have the last laugh.
@@omegawilliam95s36 thanks, that was cool.
So the best plan to combat the Dark Eldar is the Redeker plan?
43:50 "greater firepower of the imperial guard", you really don't here that often about the mall cops of the 41st millennium
that would be the PDF not the guard
id love to hear more about the various xenos races that are not so famous...like the mega-arachnids! :O
21:17 Ahhhhhhhh...... THE PAIN..... THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE...... I didn't get any ads if that was what u were saying Arch so I win 😎😎😎😂😂
I just realized this is basically monsters inc. Energy from fear, get in get out because if you stay you are incredibly fragile, heck in monsters inc the boss was planning on taking captives to extract screams
It is THIS big. Select a hole, or I shall select one for you.
Also, would you say that the book is thick enough to beat someone to death with?
i guess ill take my chances with the nightlords
I AM REINSTALLING THE PALACE
-Rogal Dorn
I just noticed the skull lights up
Can we get some prime ork lore shit? With the orks around the corner in orktober
Good luck to you all
BDS sweat goblins vs everyone else.
Thanks.
i wonder .. who would win .. The flash with the ability to travel faster than a laser beam armed only with a long katana made from some kind of exotic metal or compound with the blade edge that was sharpened to a half a molecule due to something like a energy shield thereby able to "cut" through anything .. versus a company of vet dark eldar doing a raid on a low defended planet as in they know that they are under attack but the normal populace have no real way to defend themselves next to being able to inform the flash where the Eldar would be on the planet.
Damn son, I love falling asleep to Arch mumbling about houses getting raped and women burned.
That is one of the funniest things about 40K is that elves go to hell and they die. No matter what they go to hell when they die that's why they are so terrified of it
Wait, what ? The Dark Eldar regularly use warp travel; I thought they share the Craftworld Eldar’s adversity to entering the warp, maybe even more so. Given how much a catastrophe a break-in of the warp into Commoragh is, I am very intrigued now ...
EDIT: Thanks for clearing that up for me !
I second this. Is it a lore conflict?
I think they only do short jumps, like, "a-few-second-or-less-jumps" and then leave the warp very very quickly again
Tim Ulbrich Yeah the way it sounds to me is that they use it specifically to strike and escape and then use the safer methods of travel.
Nathan Bear if they can, they use the webway, but its not fully intact, and does not lead to every single planet they might want to target. They will use it like a highway to get as close as they can, then jump the last 50, 60 light years through the warp if need be (if i remember correctly)
they have to use it, they dont like it but as with all things it's a trade of they use the webway where ever possible but it has seen better days... so some warp travel is unavoidable
This was excellent. And by excellent I of course mean fucking horrifying
Now i just need one for necrons for reference for my RT game
