I love how playing dead by daylight might as well be a form of dark eldar torture

Chaos: Natural order of existence, even if it's evil. Drukari: Just plain dicks.

I find it ironic that they are one of the horniest factions in 40k and yet they mainly reproduce via cloning

I think we have a different notion of "edgy". Having spikes on your armour is edgy. Turning people into rape-able furniture for thousands of years is abhorrent.

Remember that Dark Eldars had literally no Codex for ten whole years, and they STILL got more love and attention from GW than the freaking Ynnead. I'm still mad.

"Cry all you want you can't untorture your chapter master" Damn, I want to play this army just to use this sentence during a game.

It never occurred to me until you brought it up, but Dark Eldar probably love the current state of forever-war, don't they? Everyone fighting everyone, murder on a galactic scale, no sissy hugbox funtimes.

I read somewhere that a dark eldar scientist literally turned himself into a sentient beam of light That's both fucking awesome and hilarious They're the mustache twirling villain of this universe and nobody can change my mind

Khorne: Violence, murder, and bloodshed. Also Bravery, honesty, and honor. Tzeench: Scheming, mutation, and betrayal. Also hope, change, and adaptation Nurgle: sickness, decay, and death. Also fortitude, family, and acceptance. Slaneesh: Suffering, excess, and pain. Also love, art, and beauty. Dark Eldar: Eternal, endless torment. Also really enjoying your job.

Athiests: I don’t need a God to have morals and do good. Drukhari: I don’t need a chaos god to tell me to do the most depraved shit anyone can imagine.

Dark eldar have so much edge that they can make a tau bleed from across the galaxy when they mention their gun name.

As a T'au player (both tabletop and Dawn of War), playing against Dark Eldar is possibly the most aggravating thing possible, but it's still funny that someone quite accurately describe Commorragh and how evil they can be

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a story about a Waagh going to comaragh and since the fight is so big all the orks just converge there

"WE CAN REBUILD HIM! We have the TECHNOLOGY!" - a Humonculi after their client dies durring a raid

I like how the lore pros makes these guys out to be the absolute edgiest Mary Sues of all time but the Cons basically say “Yah despite all that, they are basically irrelevant to the entire universe, they’re like just a special flavor of Chaos once in a while”

An abridged summary of the Drukhari… Lelith: “Hey, it’s your favorite Egirl, Lelith Hesperax.” *proceeds to kills people with her hair blades* Rakarth: *doing experiments so horrible that the other Dark Eldar find them traumatizing* Drahza: *killing everything with his massive sword* “Mediocre.” Mandrakes leader: *pops out of the shadows* “Hey kids, wanna see a dead body?” Lord Vect: *watching all this play out* “Hi, I’m Asdrubael Vect, and welcome to Jackass!”

In Age of Sigmar the dark elves are chaotic good guys. They're still sadistic assholes but they stay as part of ordertide factions because they despise Slaanesh and the forces of chaos.

Perfect choice of music for the intro and background. Quality stuff.

I’ve kinda abused the liberties of flavor and made my army a chaotic neutral band of mercenaries that broke away from Commorragh and only torture Orks and Tyranids. Someone once asked me why even play Dark Eldar at that point and I just said I just think they look neat.

I look forward to the harlequin one, especially to when you said that the eldar in general are afraid of them

For anyone interested in getting some more depth on Dark Eldar lore I highly suggest the Path of the Dark Eldar omnibus or just Path of the Outcast (first book in the series I think) to dip your toes in. It's got some great examples of daily life on multiple social levels in Commoragh, the political conflicts in the city, how inter-kabal fighting works, how Vect's government works, how Commoragh works as a location/sub-dimension shit, and excellent depictions of weapons and vehicles to get a basic idea of how you might want to paint energy effects. I'm pretty sure it's pre-Ynnari becoming a bigger deal and pre- Big Dysjunction so it's kind of dated but it's a pretty good read.

Seeing my opponents face after I referred to his Drukari as sweat goblins reinvigorated MY soul.

The Orks and Drukhari are the only ones having fun out there, might as well join the party

so they're the ones posting all the gore porn on the Astronomican

I normally do Chaos Space Marines of the Iron Warriors Legion, but I started a Drukhari army last year and I’m loving them. Rules and lore, seeing my evil little goth elves rip through my mate’s Black Templars was brilliant.

I'm inspired to find the time to write the following: the Space Wolves get the idea in their bacon-addled brains to gather the entire chapter and assault Commorragh. They Primaris up as many of their number as possible; perhaps this isn't allowed by Cawl so they have to steal the means and puzzle it out on their own. Then, of course, they get slaughtered. Vect laughs his ass off as it happens and the few survivors are put into gladiatorial combat forever. This hands the Space Marines a massive loss, makes the Drukhari look like a legitimate power, and bonus points if in the epilogue Leman Russ returns and demands to know what happened to his children. Guilliman tries to explain the Space Wolves were dumbasses and Russ slaps the shit out of his brother. In addition to not playing Space Marine favorites, you have some of the family drama Space Marine fans really love. Everybody wins. Except the Space Wolves.

Is it possible that a Drukhari would die, get cought by slaneesh, then be revived back to life? If so, I imagine at least some of them would TRY to attmept this kind of stuff.

It really is a hit and miss with playing Dark Eldar. In a three way combat patrol game, this guy's incubi slaughtered my space marines. All my weapons would hit and wound and the feel no pain save would still keep them up, but massive amounts of his kabalites were decimated by this other guy's 8th edition rules thousand sons.

Elven Cenobites. They have such sights to show you...

That introduction with Yoda and his rock was hilarious lmao.

Worthwhile note, in the massive-playtest-turned-lore-story that was the introduction of the Ynnari, one of the ways in which they were *scary*-powerful came up when the Drukhari attacked them. Yvraine took this personally, and hit them with some death god magic. That rebounded all the way back to Comorragh and *burned out sections of Haemonculus labs* . Straight up said "nope" to a perfectly-reliable form of immortality. Also funny that, however hard they may hit on tabletop, lore-wise those are almost all just glorified hunting rifles. They still have (some of) the utter bullshit Eldar ultratech, the stuff that equaled or sometimes surpassed the Necrons. They just *choose* not to use it. This is why they struggle with armor, lore-wise. Because using their good stuff would cause them all the problems innumerated in the video, and it's hard to take captives if you wiped a whole continent clean of sentient life with a piece of jewelry.

Dude you're straight up the best Warhammer youtuber on the platform lmfao.

1:54 People hate Tau so much. But they don't seem to realize that we would not get lovely stories like this without them. Without drone-swarms, and OP railguns, no other naive species would live long enough for our twisted amusement.

I belive the Dark Eldar are the vast mayority of Eldar in existance both due to Commoragh beeing the rough size of a solar system and the prefferred method of breeding of dark eldar beeing mass cloning. A normal Eldar begins his life as a child working in a factory and either dies, gets promoted due to agression or just runs away to join another faction as somebody who can be trusted because he doesn't have a good murder motif yet has a need to eat imported slave suffering. There are also mostly unique Eldar Astartes-grade monsters made by the Heamonculi but there isn't many of them and get killed often due to racism attrition among dark eldar and naturally born dark eldar are automaticly nobility was everyone feels you have a more complete soul due to natural birth.

Dark Eldar were my first army, this was an enjoyable and accurate experience.

Dark Eldar - Nurgle Bois seems like a match made in heaven, DE feed them poisons, NB don't die enjoy the 'new juice' flip it around DE get semi-immortal torture subjects, NB spread their special flavour among the captives

CBT elves, AKA, too edgy to be funny, to elvish to be serious. Also thanks for the explanation, all I know about deldar is lore and that they are paper thin.

I prefer the cartoon villain like the Orks, over edgy villain like the Dark Eldar. It's make them look like less mary-sue.

Dark Eldar vs either Tyranids or Necrons is always one of the funniest things to me. Those two are the absolute buzzkill factions.

One of my favourite interactions with Drukari in 40k, was from the Space Marine novel "Brothers of the Snake". The final battle in the novel is the main character, a Space Marine veteran, against a single Dark Eldar. Its not even close. The SM get his shit kicked in. Its less of a fight and more of a torture session. The only reason he won in the end, after both of his arms were disabled , was due to his own cunning and poisonous acid spit and that the Eldar could not help himself and started gloating and touching himself.

If drukhari lost their touch with the warp (their psychic abilities) then what particular interest would slaanesh still have with them? I mean, dark eldar are essentialy on the same level of spiritual energy as the tau now?

You just gave me a newfound appreciation for the Drukhari, solely because it finally clicked for about them being inspired by old fae folk tales. Thanks!

What I don't understand about these creatures is are all vat grown edge lords clones or new people? If they are new people that brings up a lot more questions

The background music is absolutely golden. Fitting, and just unsettling with the deadpan talking.

Dark elder aren't as fragile as people think. There "tanks" are T6 and don't have many wounds sure, but they all have 5+ invulves and the coven side of the army has access to stuff like -1 damage etc. They're more like an old bent piece of carboard that been dissolving in acid for a little but protected by a super shield that means 1/3 of your attacks ain't gon do shit. nice vid.

Lol that ending XD. But honestly i like the asuryani and drukhari words. Makes them sound not elf:eldar dark elf:dark eldar

Well, we've covered most of the Warhammer 40K factions. Pancreas, you shall deny me no longer. Necrons pls.

You plan od doing Age of Sigmar after you do all if 40k? I would really like to see that?

The GW shop that appears at 11:36 is my hometown local in Plymouth (UK). I went back there today after a few years away. Still the same two blokes running it after nearly 20 years. Plymouth is sadly still an utterly godforsaken place where the air tastes of Lynx deodorant, sticky pound shop carpets and bitter disappointment which hasn't advanced economically or culturally since 2007. I'm glad I escaped.

The yoda death sounds in the background just makes it... surreal

Just wanna say that Vect has one of if not the dopest rise to power stories in the setting. Feat salamanders

Halfway through the Aeldari Species~ Or like... 3/5! Your mix of lore and humor is always spot on! Best wishes

I thought the Deldar took every opportunity to avoid death because shuffling off their mortal coil, means their soul gets added to the all you can eat soul buffet as the guest of honor/main course for Slaanesh? How does them getting revived by a haemonculus from death square with that part of their lore?

Using Yoda CBT Remix as an back-ground OST is a nice touch aka perfect dark cherry on top of this video.

I started 40k many moons ago by collecting Dark Eldar, when I was a literal edgy 12 year old, back when they first came out and were in the starter set. Mostly because they were Dark Elves (which I already collected) in space, I still enjoy the over the top villainy of both, it's why I also collected Skaven.

Dark eldar are how evil some can be just to survive

7:15 in my experience, nobody who plays abaddon plays “a lot of chaos space marines” or any at all.

Loving these do or dont videos!

Until you face the dreaded autocannon. Then you are nought but target practice for some terrified guardsmen.

Every single day of being an Imperial Fist player gets better and better because the only counter you need is to REINFORCE

Yo it’s the kinky elves

I watched all your videos and I want more. This is a threat.

Lmao the yoda cbt Japan disco remix on the background.

Ahh yes, the famous battle of Sekigahara in 1600 A.D Japan. Where Dark Eldar and Space Wolves clashed to determine the fate of the Shogunate.

This video was awesome! Make more of both Warhammer settings, please!

6:15 no no no da speed freekz can out speed dem pointy ears

Babe wake up, pancreasnowork uploaded

It's difficult to imagine the Craftworld Eldar ever allying with the Dark Eldar when Incubi murder Aspect Warriors and destroy their soul stones.

I got the Dark Eldar box set from GW when it first came out. I still have it and the postage box. I have some models to make still too. Im quite chuffed about that. Some of them are super spikey! I was a teenager and edgy as fuck haha

I have to wonder, did the Dark Eldar send any of their own people back with the Tau? That seems like something the Tau would expect, and a great way for some Dark Eldar to get a free vacation plus information on the Tau.

The yoda in the background intro nearly killed me

Basically a eggs in one basket army where you get off on choking your opponent with it.

When you have a Exam comming Up learned 3 hours today and right before bed this Video pops Up: time to forget everything I learned today and get Something Important into my head

I think my pfp says enough about who I’m interested in but I don’t know much about how to play tabletop yet and this video did a great job of getting me interested in playing again do you think you could do a video on the adepts mechanicus in the future? If so awesome if not you’ve got great stuff so I’ll be watching either way ✌️

I really hope we get a Do or Don't:Necrons soon

Fuck i started the video and already paused cause I'm laughing too much at the yoda cbt remix and cant concentrate on what you're saying. Great choice of music, 10/10

Do: kill on sight Dont: do not kill on sight

Is trying to survive on its own really evil? They have to do what we see as evil to survive. Does that make them evil? (Probably)

Great Great video hope you do custodians next.

" an entire planet ember-alerted" XD

Perfect choice of song for the dark elves in the beginning.

I think there are far more of the Dark Kin than Craftworlders. Like, at least an order of magnitude more. Thats why there is the weird rump faction of 'corsairs' in the craftworld book. Originally, the eldar corsairs in lore were just Dark Eldar although it's more of a continuum from Craftworld-Corsair-DE than hard stops. So 99% of all the interactions Humans have with elves are going to be with Dark Eldar. Which explains a lot about why the craftworlders and Imperium rarely collaborate or ally despite having obvious shared interests and not really any competing objectives. If every time you have met a knife-ear in the last 10,000 years they torture porned your entire extended family to death, you likely aren't too keen on buddying up with their 'totally normal' cousins, regardless of practicalities.

I genuinely love the Dark Eldar because they are hilariously Edgy

....imagine being Griffith, that's what it's like

Man I love your channel.

"put in in, splurt, pull out, bye" The dark eldars way

To be fair, The True Archon of Comorragh is less edgy and more snooty and petty. Which is pog Also you forgot how they lost most of their special characters once upon a time

well you got my subscription this video rocked

Good video Mr. NoWork. Can you do Necrons next? I like them

Perfect song for deldar

Legit man, you are one of the funniest people on KZfaq bro! Blood for the khorne flake!

Some like the Dark Eldar because of the edge. I like the Dark Eldar because of the whips and tentacles. I’m honestly just down bad.

You make pain and suffering FUN!

That Warhammer shop show you showed is my local. Cool.

Bro let's get the algorithm churning! This deserves more views!

Honestly they’re pretty tongue in cheek when it comes to the edge like no ones going to take them very seriously they’re so edgy they become goofy

They're basically hedonistic 17th century French aristocracy mixed with Cenobites from hellraiser

love the age of mythology music choice 🤝

Wow, that race the dark eldar fucked over sound interesting. Maybe you should do a video on them.
