"Who would be stupid enough to go VOLUTARILY into Comorragh" *Throat singing in the distance*

Remember, if there's a Drukhari weapon on the ground, do not pick it up. There is most likely a hidden blade on its handle somewhere.

"I assure you, trusting us, THE DARK ELDAR, is a decision that will not bite you in the ass immediately." - "Xylatro

Ah yes Edge City, The City of Edge, The Edgy City of Edginess

DK needs A wheel of Fortune style category for the quotes: person, place, group, etcetera.

I wonder how many times will Shy show the Cleveland image in this episode

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.

genuinely shocked Bricky didn't mention the Mandrake vs Night Lords shit going on with their whose more spokey contest.

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.

HE STILL HASENT SEEN TEXT TO SPECH YOU MUST FORCE HIM.

In Warhammer 40k, whatever happens in Commorragh stays in Commorragh.

Commoraugh is a city like no other in the universe, a fact that the universe is grateful for.

"Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the pain of man."

6:11 DK has the miraculous ability to yank defeat from the jaws of victory in ways unexplainable by mankind.

We are getting turned into furniture with this one

bricky being adamant about calling the stadium the staples center has the same energy as people refusing to call the chrysler building anything else

Bricky needs to make DK watch Emperor's TTS for his homework.

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.

Hey someone make a spiderman pointing meme with a nightlord, a flayed one and a mandrake pointing at each other.

Commorragh's ikea must be wonderful

Those two Drukhari both have knives behind their backs. Nice touch!

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*?!"

I just started “The Big Dakka” so this is perfect timing.

This is Commorragh, home of the Dark Eldar. If you're not betraying somebody you're the one getting betrayed.

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.

Dredd is one of the best 40k movies. Just a regular day for an Arbites trying to clean up a hive city

I believe that how the Drukhari got Big-E's DNA is revealed in "Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne".

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.

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!”

57:06 i think im gonna need a source for this heresy. To purge! Yes... puuurge...

Tonight we learn that Bricky will tolerate space elves as long as they are Night Lords.

bricky you have truly had a glow up, a gorgeous nearly-full-grown man

As someone whose parents worked the Staple's Center for years; FUCKING BASED! 3 minutes in and already my favorite episode of AdRic

Making Bricky watch Rebel Moon is something that not even the Drukari would do to him

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.

Hearing dk not only second guess himself when he had it right and then trying to argue this is psycher related brought me the kind of pain the dark eldar would pay top money for

39:07 The sound of disgust, defeat, disappointment, and that Bricky was halfway to repeating it. Absolutely amazing.

Webway Detroit

The third Fabius Bile book is about 1/2 in Commoragh!

The Mandrakes sound like they're the John Wick's of Commorragh.

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.

yaaay they dropped a proper episode again

"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

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!

To give you an idea about the homunculi, they kept Fabius Bile as a pet for a while and got really mad when he left

You know it's a good day when adric uploads a deldar episode

I’d like to petition that there be a Patreon goal where it’s just bricky and DK watching rebel moon

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

"why don't they make a Commoragh book" The Path Of The Dark Eldar trilogy: what am I, chopped liver?

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.

Mistress Baeda's Gift was a phenomenal short story. Won't go into details other than the elevator pitch, "Dark Elder love story!"

Mandrakes fire kamehameha and steal peoples soul to cast spirit bomb xD

I started a Drukhari army just this week, so having this as my background for an hour of painting is just perfect.

My First Army Is A Drukhari, I love the Them

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.

39:14 I saw the incubussy come frome a damn mile away...

If Dark Eldar can steal any sun, at will with no cost, that makes then the strongest faction by far.

Yoooo, why brickser so thin? Bulking ark should never end!

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.

I have waited so long for another AR episode on my army!

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.

The picture Shy puts up at 13:19 is perfect

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 !

Honestly I think Dark Eldar lore is pretty cool stuff...and they are dark and ominous without being chaotic in nature.

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 ?

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.

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.

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

Singing "this is Commorragh" to the tune of This Is Halloween

42:57 - I could totally see various forces of chaos doing this. Like Dark Mechanicum or Tzeenchian Cultists doing this, thinking they are top dog.

Dear bricky it's been a while since we've done a trilogy please read the fabius bile trilogy. Same vibes as nightlords and is important for the current 40k

Drukhari has not been the longest. You’ve literally never done a thousand sons episode. Us dusty boys are crying over here

" I cannot see. I cannot hear. " DARKNESS! IMPRISONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE HORROR!

TIMOTHY... MOAR WHINE!!!

What I love about Commorragh (as in the city) is that multiple sources have claimed that its as big as a solar system . If we are to take that information at face value and not chuck it to another example of GW being incapable of understanding how numbers and scale work, that would make the Drukari THE most numerous species in the entire galaxy. Like, maybe if you combine all the humans and orks together, you MIGHT barely make things even, and yet GW still pretends that the Eldar are a species in danger of facing extinction.

New episode, let's goooooo, just in time for me to survive the last hour of my shift

25:16 It was fortunate that hope remained, because it meant there was still hope for humanity's future and it was not lost.

Mike Brooks is literally what I aspire to be holy shit, love a good punker in Warhammer

Now that you mention it. It was your rogue trader game video which first got me to see your channel.

It's been ages since I've played 40K. That opening quote rang clear as a bell for me. It was the time Dark Eldar made their debut.

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.

Perfect timing since I just finished big dakka

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.

This episode also reflects GW's attitude towards the Drukhari as well...

Happy belated birthday DK 🎂 🥳

Happy late birthday, DK!!! Have two shield generators to survive Bricky's 380 (hope you have backpack space for the backpack one)!!!

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!

Yvraine changed not only in profession but in BFF xD with guilliman in the line up xD *will never let the meme die*

DK we share a birthday happy birthday my dude!! You currently have one of the most “city of cleveland birthdays” the area code in Cleveland is 216. Our birthday is 2-16. Embrace your cleveland birth rights!

I think the codex said Yvrainne was an exarch or autarch, then a seer, then a Corsair, then took that over and became a captain, then became a wych (either by choice or NOT), and then became a succubus.

Sometimes i fall asleep to these and my dreams get real weird lol

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.

in Da Big Dakka there's two Grotz fighting beause one thinks Commorragh's sky is white and gold while the other sees it as Blue and Black

There is actually a Drukhari trilogy of books. Not sure if they are any good, but they do exist. Was actually planning on picking up the first one when this episode dropped.

So we agree, Bricky must be made to attend a TTS Watch Party.

How dare Bricky. He forgot to mention the sun they put in the entrance

57:40 the Path of the Dark Eldar trilogy by Andy Chambers covers this pretty well.

If you are looking for a place to read Dark Eldar lore read The Path of The Dark Eldar Trilogy. It's got it all, I'm shocked they never mentioned this
