I like the aesthetics of the Craftworld, but god they’ve been consistently bungled in the plot, more often than not the Eldar showing up in a story only makes it more annoying, they’re consistently written as idiots, and their entire plotline ran into a ditch with the Ynnari story and made the goal of their story killing Slaanesh, which GW will never do.
Elves are the reason I finally got into Fantasy Warhammer through TWW. They are also the reason I'm getting a bit into 40K. You're quite right, they are the best race aesthetically. I wish GW would treat them a bit better though, less stupid arrogant and more awesome arrogant.
Your wisdom is truly boundless, Brother! I feared i was alone in this dark world, full of humans, yet it brings joy to my soul knowing there are more of us out there! Mon-keigh call us arrogant, yet they are the one who truly are, showing their short-sightedness, acting first and thinking later! There are no different from the orc, now that i think about it. Farewell, Brother and take care out there. May Asuryan guide your path through darkness with his flame
Thank you for this video! I'm a long-time fan of 40k and Eldar in particular. I started with Dawn of War and Winter Assault games almost 20 years ago. Then, as a naive boy who liked strategy games, I thought that 40k is similar to Blizzard games: several factions with different styles and almost equal attention to all of them, and you can choose everyone you like and play them. I chose Eldar because of their high mystical feel similar to Starcraft Protoss (I know that Starcraft was released later, I just knew it longer). Their high standards of living, aesthetics reminiscent of some old sci-fi, truly futuristic society and gender equality with some androgynous feels (those echoed voices from DoW i...) also sold me this faction. Later I learned that 40k is originally a tabletop game and started collecting the Eldar (and the Imperial Guard as their enemies) in 2007-2008. I also made stories about my own Eldar characters and began to incorporate them into my army. Now, they joined the Ynnari and hope to restore the Eldar society, but, sadly, now 40k became even more Imperium-centric than it was earlier, focusing more and more on same-shaped power-armored guys than everybody else. I wonder how GW don't see so much potential in Xenos stories preferring to grow the Imperial fanbase further and further. But new Xenos releases also sell well, and more new miniatures and plot campaigns would bring interest to other factions back.
It's ironic that you were drawn to the Eldar because of their similarities to the Protoss, considering Starcraft is blatantly inspired by Warhammer 40k.
@@lorescryer yes, at first I thought Dawn of War was a Starcraft ripoff with some Warcraft stuff like Orks - just because I've seen Starcraft I first. But, to the credit of Blizzard, they treat alien races way better than GW who preferred to make a human power fantasy.
Other factions: Can’t you do something about your superiority complex?
Asuryani: But we ARE superior!! 🗿🍷
*gets exterminatus'd*
@justinianthegreat1444 the Imperium can't exterminatus craftworlds because they can't find them.
Their lives would be so much easier if they could swallow their pride though.

The eldar have a lot of potential, but gw has consistently failed to do the faction justice.

I totally agree, the high elves from warhammer fantasy were awesome, I hope gw brings them back one day.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There may not be many of us, but we're the best, and quality is more important than quantity.
Cool video man, Eldrad "Gigachad' Ulthran himself would be proud

HERESY !!!
Mon-keigh
@@lorescryer and proud of it xenos scum
I'm waiting for you to say something wrong....
If only this faction didn't have most of the minis range so old it looks like shit
I'm sure that problem will be solved very soon.
Aeldari are superior.
Cope, mon'keigh
