My favorite Craftworld is Iybraesil, a matriarchal Craftworld, it produces more Howling Banshees and female Autarchs than usual. It is also a minor Craftworld and thus G.W. mostly forgets it exists which is GOOD.
My favourite Harlequin analogue for Biel-Tan has gotta be the Masque of the Frozen Stars. They can quite literally be described as "racist pranksters" whose entire modus operandi is trolling the other races of the galaxy. One of their best moments was that time their Shadowseers psychically projected the illusion of a maiden world onto a Star, getting an entire Hive Fleet to fly straight into it
The key of being a murder hobo is to always be on the move to avoid authorities. Beil tan being a whole frackin planet means they’re way ahead of everyone
I think my favorite part about them is that they made legitimate friends with the Tallarn Desert Raiders. "We will purge those filthy humans from every maiden world until- oh hey, Abdul! Coming for lunch today?"
its hilarious. I am just imagining an Eldar going into a vehement racist rant against those damn humans. Then Abdul walks in, the eldar stops mid speech, and says "Hello friend!"
Important thing you missed: Biel-Tan has actually recovered alot numbers-wise because they've started to recruit from Exodite Worlds, which means they're actually doing alot to politically reunify the Eldar and actually using common sense to recover as a faction while maintaining their previous status-quo. One of the best parts about Biel-Tan is how, despite arguably being the worst Craftworld morally, their drive and obsession to reclaim the Empire makes them the most successful because they actually have hope and a vision for the future beyond mere survival.
Dawn of War is how I was introduced to these guys. I think this might be my favorite Craftworld. They're badass, they never let a defeat keep them down for long, and we fought side by side on Tartarus. And they're one of the most active lore-wise. "Attacking a Maiden World? Made the mistake of existing near Eldar in general? That was a mistake." If I ever get get Eldar models, these would be my Eldar. Glory to Khaine! Glory to the Eldar!
Aww the monkey is projecting again, how pathetic. All Aeldari are honest and will let you know exactly what they think of you. Now go back to being a de facto slave in a *hive* city, *insect.*
I mean a lot of the Aeldari are not really that racist, at least not beyond the extremely obvious sentiment of "we will always prioritise our own kind above any others" that isn't at all racist and is a natural and correct thought process in such a hostile galaxy - if you don't act that way, your species will die. The degree to which Aeldari are xenophobic is grossly exaggerated just because they're not humans. Sure, they'll make other species act as meat shields for them wherever possible, but that's hardly racist, that's wanting to protect your own species from dying when its continued survival is already uncertain. It's coldly utilitarian, not hateful or cruel. I think you can confidently say that the majority of Aeldari do not really hate humans (at least Asuryani and Exodites - Drukhari are a pretty hateful bunch). It's absolutely true that they generally have a low opinion of humanity, considering them annoying pests and dumb brutes who are easily corruptible, and who are more than a little disgusting and often get in the way. However, even by far the most racist and xenophobic Aeldari of Biel-Tan don't want to destroy humanity in principle, they are just willing to be exceptionally violent to reclaim what they believe is theirs, and they're willing to ally with humans on occasion. The Aeldari are the most intelligent species in 40k and are able to recognise that humanity is extremely diverse and that humans exist on a spectrum between good and evil. Humans can be wretched or noble, treacherous or loyal, enemies or allies. The Aeldari hate some humans, but they don't hate humanity, and have a lot of respect for the humans they do like. They know that humans are intelligent (though less intelligent than them) and have a lot of empathy for them, which is why the War-Mask is a thing, as without it they'd find it extremely difficult to kill humans and would be permanently tortured by the memory of it.
I do find it awesome that the original craftworlds were named after Pagan festivals on the wheel of the year. Biel-Tan = Beltane, Saim-hann = Samhain etc

@@TSInfiMa-r6z They got new space marines for every chapter, even the hidden successor ones, and a whole Primarch back. For the most part, they doin aight.
@@altechelghanforever9906 Let's look at Chaos, then. A whole of the galaxy for them to plunder largely uncontested (as the latest Emperor's Children can attest). The primaris material of Alpha Primus got stolen by Fabius. Vashtorr and Abaddon managed to get into the Webway with a webway-creating artifact from the Old Ones. Magnus and Mortarion managed to carve out their own significant empires in realspace. Khorne managed to corrupt nearly 20% of the Indomitus Crusade, including several thousands Primaris. Angron has a more BS resurrect hack than all other daemons, let alone Celestine. Fulgrim and Lorgar are invading/corrupting worlds (per the latest Chaos Space Marine codex). The Tau goddess had to intervene to stop 3 reckless Death Guard ships. We can also consider the hundreds of times we hear fleets and warbands destroying whole worlds (like in the Night Lord triology). But hey we got two loyalist primarchs back and the primaris, right?/s Seriously, please define "going alright" for me. You should start calling Chaos as the biggest plot armor enjoyers in 40k. If not Warhammer in general.
I want in 11th edition for the big lore step forward to be Biel-Tan securing a Tau-empire sized section of the galaxy where they have ~100 worlds just for themselves and are able to get the eldar population up into the billions again by settling them. It would be nice for their numbers to actually increase and for there to be eldar planets rather than just having the number of eldar decreasing. That means that the prospect of an Aeldari empire returning is no longer a laughable fringe idea but actually something that people in the setting have to take as a serious threat. Seems only fair now that the imperium is pulling all of their loyalist primarchs out of the galactic refrigerator and every other faction has *something* which is cranking their power levels up.
They’ve been practically carving out an empire for 11000 years by this point. And if GW decides to do soemthing nuts with the craft world itself maybe they could go all in
If you want the Eldar to have a win in 40k I don’t think that’s the way to do. Firstly Eldar population growth is low because they seem to have a natural low population growth anyway. And the fact they have to actively suppress their emotions probably isn’t conductive to procreation. What kind of mother and father would want to bring a child into a world where there is a malevolent goddess constantly thirsting for their soul so it can subject them to everlasting torture and torment when they die? Eldar population growth is also dependent on their supply of souls stones, which are extremely dangerous to harvest. So saddling any Craftworld with 100 sparsely populated worlds to defend would just be denying the Eldar one of their last remaining advantages. Strategic mobility, as the Craftworld would be entirely restricted to a single sector of space trying desperately to defend borders it doesn’t have the manpower to hold. Humans, Orcks and Tyranids can all afford those types of losses. A dying race like the Eldar cannot. If you want to see the Eldar get a much deserved win, I’d go one of two ways. Either allow them to use their reawakened and still surviving Gods and Goddesses to deal Slannesh a mortal blow in the warp, freeing untold billions or tormented Aeldari souls from her clutches. Eldar souls never die. We’ve seen they can be transplanted into wraithbone constructs, and even into cloned bodies grown in a test tube within Commorragh. Or like as happened with the Orks and the Krork, establish the Eldar in 40k are a watered down ‘de-evolved’ version of a much more powerful Aeldari super race that existed 60 million years ago during the war in heaven. Then have then slowly begin to re-evolve into that super-race, where they can shed their material forms for immaterial ones at will. Imagine how powerful an evolved Eldar race would be that possessed both Commorragh and the Dark City’s ability to clone billions of warriors a day connected via the Webway to every Craftworld. They’d have complete strategic access to the galaxy, no permanent territory to defend, and the ability to replace huge losses within hours of warriors being, as their souls can just be put into cloned bodies or wraithbone, over and over and over again.
Yeah, no. You "just" asked the eldar be reworked into basically another faction and given more victories than they managed to collect in 11.000 years, in the span of a century. If this is the "rare eldar w" fan ask for, then doesn't surprise me they get it so rarely.
Don't forget the Biel Tan Avatar fighting against troops from two hive fleets solo for Khaine knows how long after Biel Tan thought they'd lost him on Valedor and ran away to come up with a new plan to stop the hive fleets merging. They came back and were amazed to find the Avatar still swinging away, surrounded by piles of living and dead tyranids.
It was fun hearing you talk about Biel tan on the tabletop, as that's basically how I love running them. Hilariously enough the more fluffy Biel tan lists tended to do better for me as people tend to break out a lot of heavy anti tank when they hear eldar in my gaming club. Suddenly they don't have enough infantry clear and the banshees are in their faces
Necrons awakening be like: "If you're with the government or the church, get the #$%@ off my property. Which, considering I own this planet, is effectively everywhere."
20:40 White is fine to paint with brush, unlike yellow - starting with base of very light grey, give black (or blue) wash into recesses, remove stains outside recesses with said light grey and highlight with pure white
Despite they destroyed 10 in 1 campaign? Buddy the reason why Imperium didn't wiping out Craftworlds because it's too HARD and too costly. Especially Biel-Tan when they are the MOST militarized Craftworld ever. Plus they will be on defence which means less casualties, high morale and good logistics.
Biel-Tan: when you take the Nationalist Militarism of Europe during WWI and multiply it by 100 and add a more than fair dose of space-elf magic shenanigans.
So eldar nazi germany, technically those folks in ww2 also only wipe out "inferior races" that... happen to occupy their land, but is willing to deport them if the ppl living on "occupied land" agrees to a masd exodus
I love how these guys are ment to be most evil the Craftworld Eldar have ro offer but they are still Saints when compared to most of the other factions, just because of the fact that they are willing to spare and relocate the population of the planets that surrender after their first warning (yes the bar I 40k is THAT low).
It's why I tend to roll my eyes at the "there are no good guys in 40K" line. Yes, every faction could be the bad guys in a "normal" setting... but as much as the Eldar tendency to view Eldar life as orders of magnitude more valuable than that of aliens, that Craftworlders place any value on the lives of aliens at all makes them a lot better than most of the Imperium (and there are references floating around that suggest that many craftworlds have normal diplomatic relations with other species, just not the ones trying to kill them. Craftworld Eldar are one of a very short list of factions that could win in the end and not result in a terrible state of affairs because we've seen that outcome - they ruled until the Fall and mostly kept the more aggressive races in check while leaving everyone else alone.
@@Draxynnic only reason they didn't wipe out humanity was because they're still racking from the fallout of a near extinction event. If they start to return in strength wiping out humans would be on their priority once again since humans are the main cause of chaos being so powerful
@@joshjonson2368 That might be the case now, and from any perspective but the human perspective, who'd blame them? Humans have become a xenocidal species that are just as great a threat to everyone else as the Tyranids, Chaos, and Orks. While there is some difference in that humans CAN be engaged in diplomacy and thus there is SOME hope of changing that, the Great Crusade and its aftermath is probably the greatest mass extinction event for sapient life in the galaxy since the aftermath of the War in Heaven, and I'm not even sure it doesn't beat that. More importantly, remember that the original rise of human spacefaring civilisation happened during the height of the Eldar empire where they DID have the ability to squash them like a bug if they so chose. They didn't. Every race that reached the stars from the end of the War in Heaven to M30 or so did so in the context of an Eldar empire that could have exterminated them (with the exception of the orks that were hard to exterminate altogether, but the Eldar did smack them down from being Krork), but didn't. Including humanity. One could argue that this was in the context of relaxing their grip due to the Fall having already have started, but if the Eldar had behaved like the Imperium does, it wouldn't have mattered - they'd have colonised every world in the galaxy and exterminated all competition. The Eldar might be regretting that decision now, but the Eldar were the undisputed dominant power in the galaxy for millions of years... and they allowed other races space to grow. While if the Imperium didn't have its attention tied up by the Tyranids, Chaos, and other threats, it would have wiped out every nonhuman sapient species that was not able to adapt to living on spaceships travelling through the void or other places the Imperium would find hard to reach. In short, we've seen what Eldar hegemony looked like. Compared to anything before or since, except MAYBE the Old One hegemony before the War in Heaven started, it was a golden age for a diversity of civilisations.
@@joshjonson2368 Look at the galaxy from the perspective of an innocent and peaceful alien race just taking its first steps into the stars with no intentions to harm anyone. Humans in 40K are, from their perspective, the bad guys - an existential threat, in fact. The Craftworld Eldar aren't. That' the thing with the 40k setting - the "there are no good guys" framing only works because humans are clearly bad guys in the setting, and therefore any actual good guys would be trying whatever they could to restrain the xenocidal impulses of humans... which makes them bad guys from the viewpoint of humanity. From the viewpoint of anyone ELSE, though, the Craftworld Eldar will leave you alone unless you pose a threat to them or move onto a world they've claimed. In the latter case, they'll usually at least give you a warning, and might even help you move. The former case is, of course, the scary one because they might pre-emptively punish you for something they predicted your descendants might do thousands of years in the future - but that's still a case of a credible threat. The Imperium will wipe you out just because they think your homeworld would be better as just another human colony. Something that the Tau, for instance canonically only avoided due to deus ex warp storm. Countless other species didn't have the benefit of that (I personally don't actually consider it to be plot armour as some people claim, it's survivorship bias - with hundreds or thousands of species wiped out by the Imperium, the ones we hear about are those that were lucky enough to avoid routine extermination somehow).
I recently started getting into Eldar, and have been building an army for them. I really enjoy these more long-form videos about the different craft worlds, and I'm looking forward to Alaitoc whenever or if that happens.
I just wanna say, I could listen to you talking about the Aeldari all day. They and the Tau have become my favourite 40k factions by far, and you do such a good job giving a little primer on the sea of lore that exists for all of these factions. Your videos are entertaining each time around. :) Also the idea of a whole craftworld bearing down upon the haughty Astartes makes my xenos-aligned brain itch
I really like Eldar lore. I wish they sold better so GW would let them out of the basement. I'm not saying they have to sit at the table with the favorite children, but could they at least get to go into the living room?
It's a vicious cycle - people know they're the redheaded stepchildren so they don't invest in them unless the rules writers mess up and make them overpowered. Mind you, I hear that did happen recently, so maybe there's a chance?
There are three kinds of green guys in 40k. Salamanders love everyone and will fight for them. Biel Tan hates everyone and wants to fight them. Orks just love fighting everyone. Necrons just wish they had souls
Greetings, comment for the algorithm gods your lore stuff convinced me to buy the first 6 books of gotrek and felix, so far they have been a good read so thank you
"10 chapters of SPace Marines at once, how many factions can deal with taht?" Well, Tyranides, Necrons too probably. Chaos of Course, and the Orks too if they're enough ^^
Man, I couldn't give a rat's ass about elf lore most of the time, but 40k murder elves are quite interesting for elves, LoTR an obvious exception, but, nuanced murder elves are very captivating for me, I like the thoughtfulness and the clear presence of sophistication, so I actually really like these guys so far as I can tell, this is probably my favorite elf lore video that I've ever seen. Listening to it however, I realize that I'm probably more of a craftworld Iyanden kinda guy, but that's good! I like hearing what other people like, its deeply satisfying to the epistemological part of me to hear such things, plus it helps me figure out what I like about stuff I thought I didn't like, such as the Eldar. I'm gonna have to check out more about craftword Iyanden, can't wait to find out what their MASSIVE, ALL-POSITIVE-ASPECT-ERASING issues are xD "Oh wow, kinda nice elves!" **they eat babies alive** "Ah shit, well, maybe they just eat baby orks or so-" **the dark Eldar source their baby buffets from Iyanden** "Well maybe they do it fo-" **insert a spiral into hedonism adjacent to the worst homunculus'** "OH COME ON MAN, WHY IS EVERYONE SO EVIL." Can't wait lol The ending was so funny my joints started hurting lmao, thank you Mr. No Pancreas.
Technically Ulthwe is arguably the main Eldar appearance in the Dawn of War games given how they appear in all the expansions for DOW1 and are the main Eldar faction in DOW 2, but by the time of Retribution the other craftworlds including Biel-Tan started messing around in the campaign.
Mostly 2 craftworlds. Biel-Tan but strangely acting not as aggressors but defending Typhon plus Alaitoc sending expedition. Ulthwe in Aurelian sub sector just straight up gone because Blood Ravens killed their cute farseer in Meridian and Calgared the Avatar of Khaine in Typhon.
It's a good day when pancreasnowork speaks about my favorite species in 40k, the Aeldari...then reminds me how much GW hates any and all Aeldari factions despite the Craftworlders at least being the Deuteragonists of the setting....*cries in space elf*
I wouldn't say that the Imperium is good, but that the imperium is doing what is necessary to survive given the resources, situation, etc it has to work with. That, and stuff that human history has shown are common stumbling blocks for humanity, which it's hard to blame them for without also dunking on most of human history, and debatably most of modern humanity as well.
All factions in 40k are justified in what they do. And even if they aren't, who gives a fck it's a war game setting of course they are gonna be mean to eachother
@@SamueL-td7fb sort of. I think the dystopian parts of the tau were an excessive based on their pre-damaclese gulf crusade knowledge of the galaxy, so the justification there is debatable. And the dark elder have a reason, but don’t need one. But over all, yah.
@@SamueL-td7fb Unless the joke is going over my head, in which case sorry about that, that isn't a justification, unless you throw in a might makes right philosophy, which the Tau definitely do not. And even then, I meant more from our/the meta standards.
@theliato3809 I mean I love the fact that Isha is a healer God and essentially life itself, according to lore she is friendly and open to all races as long they "cherish and value" life itself. Which in my opinion this makes a very "Good" god and I feel for a warhammer 40k universe they need more "good gods" in warhammer fantasy they have the privilege to have active "good gods" constantly fighting choas such as sigma himself but in warhammer 40k all "good gods" seems to either MIA, hiding, or even cripple like the emperor himself. The emperor is somewhat active in recent lore so I'm glad he starting to more active I just wish story starts to go somewhere.
One of the more frustrating things regarding the 40k universe and story line is, especially for those who want good story telling in the first place, is the ever looming "why don't they just work together" aspect of everything that happens in said universe. This is why, in my opinion, Fantasy had such zealous fans as you were more likely to find friendships and allies. In 40k it gets frustrating as you find out in most stories the reason why you won't have factions work together cause "well it's a wargame duh". But the subject of this video pretty much going "cause working with others is stupid" is actually pretty funny
A rather easy answer to that is the warp and chaos breed desperation that helps stop things from reaching that level of cooperation. Though it’s not like it doesn’t happen at all
Literally thats why the setting is _grimdark_ You could have all the factions unite under the power of friendship and defeat chaos, orks and tyranids. But thats literally not the kind of stories we are here for.
@@leandrocastello309 100% agree, there's just at some point you struggle with a suspension of belief when it would make so much sense for even just TWO people within the universe to work together, but the setting demands they fight cause muh grimdark. And not like that doesn't happen either, there's just the moments when you want to scream at a book or a character for not being an asshole for ONE second
@@ninnoofthelastunicorn yeah, but the worst offenders of that is the imperium. And they have the justification of 11.000 years of ignorance and indoctrination. It is a running theme that main flaws of the imperium do more damage to itself than any of its enemies ever could hope to.
Refusing to see a common goal in such a manner as every capable major power in 40k has works far better when, “Because we just don’t like you” is the exception and not the rule.
@@SamueL-td7fb If by "self defense" you mean "engaged in pre-emptive retaliation harder than even the most paranoid Eldar craftworld" then sure. The Eldar meme is that they'll wipe out a planet's population to prevent an Eldar from stubbing a toe (which is an exaggeration, since wiping out the population of a planet usually involves the Eldar taking casualties too). For the Imperium there doesn't need to be any known threat, just "nice planet you have there, ours now".
Because it is the Necrons who are made in the Universe’s image. Necron supremacy forever! But in reality Necrons lately have been absolutely b-slapping the other factions esp Anrakyr The Traveler who is on a warpath to unite all Necrons no matter ideology or philosophy.
Haha hell yeah! Would love to here about other craftworlds! Primarily alaitoc! I think they used to be the aeldari poster boys in older editions? I love their old art where they have like tiger stripes on their helmets!
I like their implied army list, since I like aspect warriors. But my favorite big Craftworlds are Iyanden and Ulthwe. Mostly because I think Wraithlords/guard are cool. And I think Ulthwe’s Farseers confusing everyone with their seemingly random attacks is funny.

Not ALL Eldar are this level of racist come on man 😂
Funny you say that in a setting with Imperium in it. They are like super-elves without the diplomacy then, isn't it?
I mean they are just like humanity in that regard, seems fair
I mean a lot of the Aeldari are not really that racist, at least not beyond the extremely obvious sentiment of "we will always prioritise our own kind above any others" that isn't at all racist and is a natural and correct thought process in such a hostile galaxy - if you don't act that way, your species will die. The degree to which Aeldari are xenophobic is grossly exaggerated just because they're not humans. Sure, they'll make other species act as meat shields for them wherever possible, but that's hardly racist, that's wanting to protect your own species from dying when its continued survival is already uncertain. It's coldly utilitarian, not hateful or cruel.
I think you can confidently say that the majority of Aeldari do not really hate humans (at least Asuryani and Exodites - Drukhari are a pretty hateful bunch). It's absolutely true that they generally have a low opinion of humanity, considering them annoying pests and dumb brutes who are easily corruptible, and who are more than a little disgusting and often get in the way. However, even by far the most racist and xenophobic Aeldari of Biel-Tan don't want to destroy humanity in principle, they are just willing to be exceptionally violent to reclaim what they believe is theirs, and they're willing to ally with humans on occasion.
The Aeldari are the most intelligent species in 40k and are able to recognise that humanity is extremely diverse and that humans exist on a spectrum between good and evil. Humans can be wretched or noble, treacherous or loyal, enemies or allies. The Aeldari hate some humans, but they don't hate humanity, and have a lot of respect for the humans they do like. They know that humans are intelligent (though less intelligent than them) and have a lot of empathy for them, which is why the War-Mask is a thing, as without it they'd find it extremely difficult to kill humans and would be permanently tortured by the memory of it.
The corruption of Kyras, Exterminatus of Typhon, and Blood Raven civil war is entirely because Macha refused to explain herself to Angelos

Wow, found this one so early that Biel Tan was still whole when I showed up.

I do find it awesome that the original craftworlds were named after Pagan festivals on the wheel of the year. Biel-Tan = Beltane, Saim-hann = Samhain etc

biel tan and iyanden could be roommates at this point. one has a whole craftworld, the other has the population to fill it.

@@churchilltank659 GW doesn’t dickride the space marines for no reason, they do it because space marine models and books get the most sales, and the only reason they would get the most sales is because the general audience finds them more interesting than the xenos, don’t get me wrong I like the xenos too I’m a necron fan but I don’t pretend that GW dickrides space marines just because they love space marines and hate eldar
Imperium is so cool, that even the Eldar like to rolplay as them.

@@hellatze Basically 40k lore for the most part.
@@altechelghanforever9906 I guess the galaxy splitting in half is the Imperium having plot armor.
@@TSInfiMa-r6z They got new space marines for every chapter, even the hidden successor ones, and a whole Primarch back. For the most part, they doin aight.
@@altechelghanforever9906 Let's look at Chaos, then. A whole of the galaxy for them to plunder largely uncontested (as the latest Emperor's Children can attest). The primaris material of Alpha Primus got stolen by Fabius. Vashtorr and Abaddon managed to get into the Webway with a webway-creating artifact from the Old Ones. Magnus and Mortarion managed to carve out their own significant empires in realspace. Khorne managed to corrupt nearly 20% of the Indomitus Crusade, including several thousands Primaris. Angron has a more BS resurrect hack than all other daemons, let alone Celestine. Fulgrim and Lorgar are invading/corrupting worlds (per the latest Chaos Space Marine codex). The Tau goddess had to intervene to stop 3 reckless Death Guard ships. We can also consider the hundreds of times we hear fleets and warbands destroying whole worlds (like in the Night Lord triology).
But hey we got two loyalist primarchs back and the primaris, right?/s Seriously, please define "going alright" for me.
You should start calling Chaos as the biggest plot armor enjoyers in 40k. If not Warhammer in general.
So they're a horde army, their main strategy is to just charge, they have toughness 3, and they're green... These are just fancy Orks!
I like the space dragon elves. Purely because space and dragon are two words that exponentially increase the quality of all things.
Considering his comments on Teclis, the ending of this video isn't even the most elf-simp I've seen this man...
I want in 11th edition for the big lore step forward to be Biel-Tan securing a Tau-empire sized section of the galaxy where they have ~100 worlds just for themselves and are able to get the eldar population up into the billions again by settling them. It would be nice for their numbers to actually increase and for there to be eldar planets rather than just having the number of eldar decreasing. That means that the prospect of an Aeldari empire returning is no longer a laughable fringe idea but actually something that people in the setting have to take as a serious threat. Seems only fair now that the imperium is pulling all of their loyalist primarchs out of the galactic refrigerator and every other faction has *something* which is cranking their power levels up.
They’ve been practically carving out an empire for 11000 years by this point.
And if GW decides to do soemthing nuts with the craft world itself maybe they could go all in
GW letting the Eldar have a win without Imperium help?
That's impossible
If you want the Eldar to have a win in 40k I don’t think that’s the way to do. Firstly Eldar population growth is low because they seem to have a natural low population growth anyway. And the fact they have to actively suppress their emotions probably isn’t conductive to procreation. What kind of mother and father would want to bring a child into a world where there is a malevolent goddess constantly thirsting for their soul so it can subject them to everlasting torture and torment when they die?
Eldar population growth is also dependent on their supply of souls stones, which are extremely dangerous to harvest. So saddling any Craftworld with 100 sparsely populated worlds to defend would just be denying the Eldar one of their last remaining advantages. Strategic mobility, as the Craftworld would be entirely restricted to a single sector of space trying desperately to defend borders it doesn’t have the manpower to hold. Humans, Orcks and Tyranids can all afford those types of losses.
A dying race like the Eldar cannot.
If you want to see the Eldar get a much deserved win, I’d go one of two ways.
Either allow them to use their reawakened and still surviving Gods and Goddesses to deal Slannesh a mortal blow in the warp, freeing untold billions or tormented Aeldari souls from her clutches. Eldar souls never die. We’ve seen they can be transplanted into wraithbone constructs, and even into cloned bodies grown in a test tube within Commorragh.
Or like as happened with the Orks and the Krork, establish the Eldar in 40k are a watered down ‘de-evolved’ version of a much more powerful Aeldari super race that existed 60 million years ago during the war in heaven. Then have then slowly begin to re-evolve into that super-race, where they can shed their material forms for immaterial ones at will.
Imagine how powerful an evolved Eldar race would be that possessed both Commorragh and the Dark City’s ability to clone billions of warriors a day connected via the Webway to every Craftworld. They’d have complete strategic access to the galaxy, no permanent territory to defend, and the ability to replace huge losses within hours of warriors being, as their souls can just be put into cloned bodies or wraithbone, over and over and over again.
Yeah, no. You "just" asked the eldar be reworked into basically another faction and given more victories than they managed to collect in 11.000 years, in the span of a century.
If this is the "rare eldar w" fan ask for, then doesn't surprise me they get it so rarely.
Without soul stones it does not matter what their population is and most of them are hidden in the crone worlds.
Don't forget the Biel Tan Avatar fighting against troops from two hive fleets solo for Khaine knows how long after Biel Tan thought they'd lost him on Valedor and ran away to come up with a new plan to stop the hive fleets merging. They came back and were amazed to find the Avatar still swinging away, surrounded by piles of living and dead tyranids.
That's what I want to see from Avatar of Khaine a killing machine with perfect vigour))

Damn, sounds like a pretty formidable eldar faction. We may need TWO unnamed random space marine chapters to wipe them out
Despite they destroyed 10 in 1 campaign? Buddy the reason why Imperium didn't wiping out Craftworlds because it's too HARD and too costly. Especially Biel-Tan when they are the MOST militarized Craftworld ever. Plus they will be on defence which means less casualties, high morale and good logistics.
Speaking as a Tech Priest fan, the Mechanicum is pure evil, and it's only slightly better then the Imperium
That ending bit...true poetry.
Biel-Tan: when you take the Nationalist Militarism of Europe during WWI and multiply it by 100 and add a more than fair dose of space-elf magic shenanigans.
So eldar nazi germany, technically those folks in ww2 also only wipe out "inferior races" that... happen to occupy their land, but is willing to deport them if the ppl living on "occupied land" agrees to a masd exodus

Watching this while recovering from acute pancreatitis, channeling the power of the chaos god pancreasnowork for his dark organ healing powers
I love how these guys are ment to be most evil the Craftworld Eldar have ro offer but they are still Saints when compared to most of the other factions, just because of the fact that they are willing to spare and relocate the population of the planets that surrender after their first warning (yes the bar I 40k is THAT low).
It's why I tend to roll my eyes at the "there are no good guys in 40K" line. Yes, every faction could be the bad guys in a "normal" setting... but as much as the Eldar tendency to view Eldar life as orders of magnitude more valuable than that of aliens, that Craftworlders place any value on the lives of aliens at all makes them a lot better than most of the Imperium (and there are references floating around that suggest that many craftworlds have normal diplomatic relations with other species, just not the ones trying to kill them. Craftworld Eldar are one of a very short list of factions that could win in the end and not result in a terrible state of affairs because we've seen that outcome - they ruled until the Fall and mostly kept the more aggressive races in check while leaving everyone else alone.
Nah no such thing as a good alien, if they could they'd send every human into comorragh and if you're a sane human you'd want them destroyed utterly
@@Draxynnic only reason they didn't wipe out humanity was because they're still racking from the fallout of a near extinction event. If they start to return in strength wiping out humans would be on their priority once again since humans are the main cause of chaos being so powerful
@@joshjonson2368 That might be the case now, and from any perspective but the human perspective, who'd blame them? Humans have become a xenocidal species that are just as great a threat to everyone else as the Tyranids, Chaos, and Orks. While there is some difference in that humans CAN be engaged in diplomacy and thus there is SOME hope of changing that, the Great Crusade and its aftermath is probably the greatest mass extinction event for sapient life in the galaxy since the aftermath of the War in Heaven, and I'm not even sure it doesn't beat that.
More importantly, remember that the original rise of human spacefaring civilisation happened during the height of the Eldar empire where they DID have the ability to squash them like a bug if they so chose. They didn't. Every race that reached the stars from the end of the War in Heaven to M30 or so did so in the context of an Eldar empire that could have exterminated them (with the exception of the orks that were hard to exterminate altogether, but the Eldar did smack them down from being Krork), but didn't. Including humanity. One could argue that this was in the context of relaxing their grip due to the Fall having already have started, but if the Eldar had behaved like the Imperium does, it wouldn't have mattered - they'd have colonised every world in the galaxy and exterminated all competition.
The Eldar might be regretting that decision now, but the Eldar were the undisputed dominant power in the galaxy for millions of years... and they allowed other races space to grow. While if the Imperium didn't have its attention tied up by the Tyranids, Chaos, and other threats, it would have wiped out every nonhuman sapient species that was not able to adapt to living on spaceships travelling through the void or other places the Imperium would find hard to reach.
In short, we've seen what Eldar hegemony looked like. Compared to anything before or since, except MAYBE the Old One hegemony before the War in Heaven started, it was a golden age for a diversity of civilisations.
@@joshjonson2368 Look at the galaxy from the perspective of an innocent and peaceful alien race just taking its first steps into the stars with no intentions to harm anyone. Humans in 40K are, from their perspective, the bad guys - an existential threat, in fact. The Craftworld Eldar aren't.
That' the thing with the 40k setting - the "there are no good guys" framing only works because humans are clearly bad guys in the setting, and therefore any actual good guys would be trying whatever they could to restrain the xenocidal impulses of humans... which makes them bad guys from the viewpoint of humanity. From the viewpoint of anyone ELSE, though, the Craftworld Eldar will leave you alone unless you pose a threat to them or move onto a world they've claimed. In the latter case, they'll usually at least give you a warning, and might even help you move. The former case is, of course, the scary one because they might pre-emptively punish you for something they predicted your descendants might do thousands of years in the future - but that's still a case of a credible threat. The Imperium will wipe you out just because they think your homeworld would be better as just another human colony. Something that the Tau, for instance canonically only avoided due to deus ex warp storm. Countless other species didn't have the benefit of that (I personally don't actually consider it to be plot armour as some people claim, it's survivorship bias - with hundreds or thousands of species wiped out by the Imperium, the ones we hear about are those that were lucky enough to avoid routine extermination somehow).
I recently started getting into Eldar, and have been building an army for them. I really enjoy these more long-form videos about the different craft worlds, and I'm looking forward to Alaitoc whenever or if that happens.
I just wanna say, I could listen to you talking about the Aeldari all day. They and the Tau have become my favourite 40k factions by far, and you do such a good job giving a little primer on the sea of lore that exists for all of these factions. Your videos are entertaining each time around. :)
Also the idea of a whole craftworld bearing down upon the haughty Astartes makes my xenos-aligned brain itch
I really like Eldar lore. I wish they sold better so GW would let them out of the basement. I'm not saying they have to sit at the table with the favorite children, but could they at least get to go into the living room?
It's a vicious cycle - people know they're the redheaded stepchildren so they don't invest in them unless the rules writers mess up and make them overpowered. Mind you, I hear that did happen recently, so maybe there's a chance?
I was thinking about getting into Eldar, specifically Biel-Tan. This must be a sign from Khaine to do so!

@@Warmaster2001 gotrek and felix, orks and something stupid
Another cool Eldar lore video!
One of the more frustrating things regarding the 40k universe and story line is, especially for those who want good story telling in the first place, is the ever looming "why don't they just work together" aspect of everything that happens in said universe. This is why, in my opinion, Fantasy had such zealous fans as you were more likely to find friendships and allies.
In 40k it gets frustrating as you find out in most stories the reason why you won't have factions work together cause "well it's a wargame duh".
But the subject of this video pretty much going "cause working with others is stupid" is actually pretty funny
A rather easy answer to that is the warp and chaos breed desperation that helps stop things from reaching that level of cooperation.
Though it’s not like it doesn’t happen at all
Literally thats why the setting is _grimdark_
You could have all the factions unite under the power of friendship and defeat chaos, orks and tyranids. But thats literally not the kind of stories we are here for.
@@leandrocastello309 100% agree, there's just at some point you struggle with a suspension of belief when it would make so much sense for even just TWO people within the universe to work together, but the setting demands they fight cause muh grimdark.
And not like that doesn't happen either, there's just the moments when you want to scream at a book or a character for not being an asshole for ONE second
@@ninnoofthelastunicorn yeah, but the worst offenders of that is the imperium. And they have the justification of 11.000 years of ignorance and indoctrination.
It is a running theme that main flaws of the imperium do more damage to itself than any of its enemies ever could hope to.
Refusing to see a common goal in such a manner as every capable major power in 40k has works far better when, “Because we just don’t like you” is the exception and not the rule.

@@SamueL-td7fb If by "self defense" you mean "engaged in pre-emptive retaliation harder than even the most paranoid Eldar craftworld" then sure. The Eldar meme is that they'll wipe out a planet's population to prevent an Eldar from stubbing a toe (which is an exaggeration, since wiping out the population of a planet usually involves the Eldar taking casualties too). For the Imperium there doesn't need to be any known threat, just "nice planet you have there, ours now".
