@@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.
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.
@@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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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.

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*?!"
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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!
It would not surprise me if they purposely lied in ear shot to their prisoners, "oh no dear, did you hear? I lost another pet this morning, they escaped after a session when i wasn't looking." In order to give the prisoners more hope.
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.
love how well-loved Mike Brooks' works are. _Some_ people in the fandom hate what he believes in and that makes me experience just the absolute best kind of schadenfreude.
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
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.
Dk has gone from having no idea and making guesses that make NO sense at all, to guessing EXACTLY RIGHT and then going "No it can't be must be something else." It's like his past mistakes have made him convinced his first guess is always wrong and thus he second guesses himself.
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
Should do a whole episode on the antics of the Drukhari. Like when they met the Tau. Captured a Tyranid moon. The guy that turned himself into a sentient beam of light. Ossefactor weapons etc. They get some of the wackiest superviallain lore, its great.
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.
Loved the episode as always, good to see Timothy getting some representation! Some books around Eldar/Dark Eldar: Path of The Eldar trilogy and Path of the Dark Eldar trilogy. The Masque of Vyle. Pretty decent reads! Keep it up!
In one of the Inquisitor novels (I think, its been a minute) a homunculus dissassembles a man into his component systems, but keeps him alive and concious of all of it.
"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.
There is the Dark Eldar series called Path of the Renegade and it's subsequent sequels, Path of the Incubus and Path of the Archon. Currently the T'au Ethereal Aun'shi is trapped in the gladiator pits of Commoragh as well.
25:07 I like to think that the ones strapped down and subjected to absolute pain and disparity is what they feed on to live. ….but the emotional perpetuating abuse is what they feed on emotionally…. As in, they just do that 100% for fun.
Nothing brings out the quality of the screams of the damned like Raycon ear buds. It’s like I’m committing unspeakable acts upon my lessers in person! Raycon, the preferred earbud of the Druchari
The moral of the Greek myth was that the gods put hope in the box to make it possible to bare the rest of the awful things inside Pandora’s box. It was a kindness not a curse like the rest of the things.
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 ?
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.

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."
52:00. Both Aeldari and Drukhari still do short warp jumps.

39:07 The sound of disgust, defeat, disappointment, and that Bricky was halfway to repeating it. Absolutely amazing.
I just started “The Big Dakka” so this is perfect timing.
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.

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.

In one of the Inquisitor novels (I think, its been a minute) a homunculus dissassembles a man into his component systems, but keeps him alive and concious of all of it.
"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.
I like the idea of the orks being a highly invasive species, that’s why why are in the eye of terror and commorrgh.
"why don't they make a Commoragh book"
The Path Of The Dark Eldar trilogy: what am I, chopped liver?
I told my GF that we're going to commorragh for a holiday. She's so excited..
There is the Dark Eldar series called Path of the Renegade and it's subsequent sequels, Path of the Incubus and Path of the Archon. Currently the T'au Ethereal Aun'shi is trapped in the gladiator pits of Commoragh as well.
Happy belated birthday DK 🎂 🥳
What the hell was that noise at 50:22? Almost sounded like Shy's synth voice whispering in my ear or smth.
How dare Bricky. He forgot to mention the sun they put in the entrance
My First Army Is A Drukhari, I love the Them
Yoooo, why brickser so thin? Bulking ark should never end!
Honestly I think Dark Eldar lore is pretty cool stuff...and they are dark and ominous without being chaotic in nature.
57:40 the Path of the Dark Eldar trilogy by Andy Chambers covers this pretty well.
Singing "this is Commorragh" to the tune of This Is Halloween
I’d like to petition that there be a Patreon goal where it’s just bricky and DK watching rebel moon
25:07 I like to think that the ones strapped down and subjected to absolute pain and disparity is what they feed on to live.
….but the emotional perpetuating abuse is what they feed on emotionally…. As in, they just do that 100% for fun.
54:40 As an Austrian, thats basically an perfect spelling of the Austrian slang for bro and it flashed me tf
Hey y’all should have an episode where the listener ask 40K questions so a 40K q and a. Mine would be how to get friends in the hobby !
Nothing brings out the quality of the screams of the damned like Raycon ear buds. It’s like I’m committing unspeakable acts upon my lessers in person!
Raycon, the preferred earbud of the Druchari
Given that when I tried them they fit perfectly but the audio quality was so poor it caused physical pain, you are closer than you realize.
It is said some Drakes asked for........HUMAN HAND HOLDING.
The moral of the Greek myth was that the gods put hope in the box to make it possible to bare the rest of the awful things inside Pandora’s box. It was a kindness not a curse like the rest of the things.
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 ?
24:49 Dominic Santiago's wife knows about the hope on cammorragh.
Fun drinking game:
take a shot every time they say Commorragh has rules and takes a shot every time they say Commorragh doesn't have rules.
48:55 Ah so COMMORRAGH is just your average Sea of Thieves server.
31:35 about afraid of shadow horror movie/series
Dr Who Vashta Nerada episode came to my mind
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.
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.
