      Him, Asurmen and Vect are the oldest known Eldar having been centuries old by the time of the fall, Asurmen especially being oldsr than them both.
      Asurmen though it is debatable whether he counts since the body has fallen several times so he's moreso a spirit of armour rather than mortal, but the other 2 have just achieved means of making their own longevity with their mortal bodies.
      Eldar spirits are also much stronger than any other so it could be argued that alot of the Druhkari are from before the fall since they basically reincarnate with clone bodies with their original spirits.

    Brave of you to take on such a controversial topic! Eldrad is hard to nail down. There is one moment in the Ynnari books that when Yvraine met with him via a warp connection, she is surprised by how incredibly bright his psychic presence is. In her travels through the galaxy, the only psychic presence brighter is the astronomican. I'll admit cherry picking 40k lore is a poor basis for an argument though. Wish there was more Eldar lore.

      @flameknightplayz2939 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@Alex-pj8nz Where in the lore states that? To say that mankind evolved to be better psychers than the Eldar is just false. Both races are continuously evolving and adapting, all life are constantly evolving, that is literally a function of all living things.
      Mankind is still "evolving", not evolved. The Emperor was preparing everything for the future psychic awakening of mankind, which means the whole of humanity is yet to become a psychic race, this is the dream he shared with Magnus and what he prepared the Thousand Sons for, to be guides and teachers for future psykers. 40k humans are still in the stage of evolution. The Eldar in their peak can alter reality as they see fit, they are beyond alpha psychers as they can even safely ascend to a state of godhood (muses). Their technology is so beyond what mankind had achieved, an example is the machine of the ancients where you can reach peak transcendence and manifest anything from infinite fleets to solar systems. The Eldar evolved from a time where the warp is much more purer and stable, that is part of the reason their psychic and sorcerous powers exceeded that of the Emperor. Even the Necrons are not impressed by the librarians, finding their psychic powers hilarious and are nowhere near what the Eldar had achieved.
      The Eldar are also still evolving. They have fallen, are now adapting, and still evolving. Their most powerful god scattered itself to further boost each surviving Eldar. The lore states that the Old Ones made the Eldar to literally be of the warp, be able to fully manipulate it, and for them to reach greater psychic heights than what the Old Ones could. They are god killers, have battled gods, became gods, and usurped their ancient pantheons.
      The only reason they have regressed so far is their fear of their own warp-technology, that by using their ancient god tech they will create another Slaanesh. Ideology that was extremely similar to humans who survived the machine rebellion and age of strife.

      @flameknightplayz2939 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@Alex-pj8nz You are claiming things that aren't based on lore. Where in the lore state that Eldar can't kill deamons?
      1. An extreme amount of psychic energy will obliterate deamons, an example was during the casting of the rubric and the invasion of Sortiarus by Ahriman. The Eldar have and are always capable of massive psychic damage to the point of destroying souls. The Eldar had battled gods of the warp and real space lol, gods are greater than deamons lmao. The wars of the Old Ones, ancient Eldari, Ctan, and the Necrons, burned realities. You cannot imagine the power they wielded from a time where the necron pylons were yet to be established and the warp is much more purer and stable. Their psychic powers are greater than the Emperor. An example of their psychic technology is the "machine of the ancients" where you can link yourself to it and achieve transcendence and manifest infinite fleets, to solar systems, anything you can imagine you can create.
      2. The thing is that pre-fall Eldars achieved godhood, they became gods of both warp and real space. Those gods were called the "Dark Muses", immortal psychers who had millennia of accumulated knowledge, power, and skill. Their powers reached so far that the Dark Muses even usurped the powers of the Ancient Eldari Pantheon (Morai-heg, Isha, etc), and those ancient Eldari pantheon had battled the C'tan at their prime. The Eldari exceeded the powers of the gods they used to worship.
      3. To say the eldar have no power to kill deamons, again, is a lie. Even at their fallen state they have been killing deamons for breakfast. An example of this is Craftworld Ulthwe, home to some of the most powerful psychers in existence. They have been surviving near the EYE of TERROR itself for millennia, and have battled and won against countless chaos hordes.
      You have no sources so what you're saying is nonsense.

      @@flameknightplayz2939 I am pretty sure the emperor is leagues above the eldar in terms of raw psychic power. Also demons literally flee from the emperor's psychic light like little bitches as seen during the roboute and mortarion incursion where the emperor light would not just simply kill them but annihilate them from existence. The eldars succumbed to slaanesh alone who is probably the weakest of the dark gods whilst it took the four gods combined effort to take the god emperor down but regardless the emperor is still battling them in the immaterium . Even great unclean ones are terrified by him . I dont remember which book it was since I read it years ago but it was about an alpha plus psyker eldar who soul had found itself in the warp and she knew slaanesh or some vile chaos spawn was coming to consume her soul . Then she noticed a mega soul whose psychic might dwarfed hers . And she felt four notable darkness eyeing the being (emperor's soul) warily . She rejoiced for she knew slaanesh wasn't interested in her but was avoiding that part of the warp coz of this being . The emperor also lit nurgles garden with holy flames whilst nurgle himself hid in his manor like a little bitch then proceeded to threaten and declare war on the dark gods. No eldar is capable of such feats .

    Should have done a top 10, so my favorite could have been included: *Targutai Yesugei*
    The crimson king regarded Yesugei for a moment. His lone eye glittered in Ullanors foul sunlight, as if probing deep into the unseen.
    ´mighty,´ he said at last, his voice properly respectful. ´You would have found a place by my side, had you been born under prosperine skies´.
    //Scars, P:143
    ---------------------------------
    “Do not be foolish,’ replied Yesugei calmly in Gothic. ‘Please, put weapons away.’ Twelve muzzles immediately locked on to him.
    ‘Storm-witch!’ shouted one of the boarders.
    All twelve weapons opened up in that instant: a drum of bolt shells, followed up by the furnace-rush of a flamer’s discharge.
    Yesugei raised his staff, and the projectiles exploded in front of him in a shower of spilled force. For a brief moment he was wreathed in a wall of noise and seething fury, then it ripped away.
    ‘This is foolish,’ he said, his voice as placid, as though he were still alone on the Altak.
    The twelve invaders charged toward Yesugei, leaping across railings and swerving around console stations, firing all the while.
    He slammed his staff down and spears of lightning burst along its length, outshining the weapons fire and bathing the bridge in gold. He closed his free fist and the enemy’s boltguns shattered. The flamer exploded with a vast, booming roar.
    The bridge swelled with the roll and crack of thunder. Gathering stormwind surged over the gantries, tearing mortals from their feet and sending even the power-armoured legionaries staggering.
    One of the invaders managed to get within fist-range, fighting through the swirl of gold-laced gusts. Yesugei gestured with a finger and the Space Marine - tonnes of thick ceramite, muscle and dense mechanics - hurtled away and slammed into the far wall, crunching into the bulkhead stonework.
    Another fought his way close, gripping a glowing sword and bracing to swing. Yesugei gave him a tolerant look, as if indulging the enthusiasm of a child, then inclined his head by a fraction.
    The sword-bearer’s head snapped back. Spikes of gold lightning cracked into him, knocking the Space Marine to the deck and locking him down.
    By then only one of the boarding party remained on his feet - a huge figure in ornate artificer armour carrying a crackling thunder hammer. He pushed his way through the maelstrom, leaning against the swathes of coruscation and making progress towards Yesugei by sheer force of will.
    He got within three metres. Then Yesugei turned on him and opened his fist. More lightning, as vivid and earth-breaking as the storms of Chogoris, snaked into the hammer-wielder’s chest. He flew backwards, crashing through a balustrade and collapsing down into a servitor-pit with his entire body enclosed in spitting, spidery energy.
    Yesugei rose into the air, gently floating upwards. His cloak snapped and rippled around his armour, his totems and bone-tokens clattering against his breastplate. Tongues of elemental fire licked at him from the deck below.
    By now the entire bridge was a picture of destruction - White Scars legionary and enemy alike cowered behind whatever cover they could find, their weapons useless.
    Yesugei descended smoothly over the hammer-wielder, dipping like some mythical angel of Terran legend towards the prone figure. The howl of the wind died, shimmering away as suddenly as it had been summoned. The twelve Space Marines of the boarding party remained locked in place, tied down by glowing strands of aetheric energy.”

    12:07 I love how the Emperor just wields a bolter. Not a plasma or some sort of melta or those volkite-whatevers, but just a bolter. I mean, I'm sure it's the best bolter mankind had ever made, but it still seems underpowered. Maybe the Emperor just really loves guns over more fancy tech. Reminds me of Alucard in Hellsing with his pistols. Cool, yes, but why?

      This explains his constant failures in doing what he does, and i reckon that he would be much more powerful if tzeench is not constantly meddling in his affairs.

      He had a lot of better options on the table. Use his long distance telepathy to ask Magnus to come to Terra with half his legion, send Dorn, G man, or any other non retarded Primarch with something approaching a leave head. Sent Malcador, Valdor, throw a ping pong and sent the random people it hits. Maybe ask Eldrad.

    The Emperor has consumed by proximity the souls of 36,500,000 psykers over 10,000 years. Although those souls do go to a different thing than the Emperor himself, I must imagine the collective worship of trillions of humans and even the respect he garners from other species has enormously enhanced his power. I see that power and nearly impossible to wield effectively due to his fractured mind. But the fact that he slapped Nurgle to and fro casually in his seat of power more or less shows that any one of the four Chaos gods would alone be wise to ever confront him individually. I think they might still win but there were be such a mauling that the other three deities would pounce.
