There is a video glitch about 45m inn, i haven't the faintest idea what does it and after rendering the video for the 4th time i gave up... deal with it?
Could have been an add for any crappy, generic mobile game that looks like a crappy generic copy of yet another crappy generic mobile game that is not a single bit like what is displayed in the add in the first place...
I remember hearing one of the writers of a dark eldar codex explain how the Dark Eldar will cut off a finger and leave it with a homunculus and if the Dark eldar is killed they will use that finger to craft an entirely new body for the dark eldar thus avoiding true death I loved this it made them come off as very fairytale magical
The Dark Eldar would probably use and encourage the use of such names as "Dark Eldar" and "Drukari" among humans. If anything just for the extra gram of soul produced by the fear.
Even if they didn't neccesarily think they were evil, they could still call themselves evil for intimidation purposes as stated above. Most edgy people I know love to tell people about how dark or evil they are, but the majority of those same people don't think they're actually evil. Every "evil" Satanist I know acts like they are the most morally outstanding individual to have ever lived, but they still love to tell people they're spreading the "evil" of Satan.
@@robouteguilliman6662 I do beleive I added some context not previously stated. But it's not like it matters or anything since your big brain posted something before me.
The name "Dark Eldar" makes sense in a way due to Commoragh receiving little to no natural light. So since they're *Eldar* that live in the *Dark,* it makes perfect sense for them to be called the "Dark Eldar".
Dark Eldar: “Tell me more about this “Human male genital pulling of primitive public transportation” Mon’ Keigh, Arch. I am… intrigued. Heh ha he he he.”
32:10 (Carnival of Pain) Yep....that should be a troop choice for: Dark Eldar in the Warhammer 40k tabletop game. *clap hands twice* Make it happen Gamesworkshop!
The dark eldar could probably just go live in a hive city. That level of concentrated suffering squishy things would probably be enough XD. I like the idea of the eldar being dumb enough to kidnap astarties who escape in comorough *hilarity ensues.*
The Salamanders ran a battle barge and several other ships right into the heart of that city, with help from the city's "King" of course on a rescue mission.
Eldar reproduction? Well Eldar pick a focus and stick to it until they master EVERY aspect of it. So Eldar that choose the path of reproduction are keept in love hotels at the edge of the craftworlds until they are absolutely done mastering breeding. The other Eldar don't like to talk about it...
alotosius actually they do this as a side project, it's good to remember most of the paths lead to the eldar becoming an emotionally unattached psychopath. The vast majority of craftworld eldar would make horrible parents and they know this.
i all ways saw the eldar's state of not haveing a large population as self imposed due to lck of sole stones, but the path of the parent must be a common if stricktly controlled path for A the craftworlds to be 100 times larger then they were 10000 years ago despited endless wars between then and now. ie the craftworlders must have a positive population growth inorder to have that growth despite the wars etc. i think everyeldar has t go through that path atleast once. and the eldar leaders make sure that only enough children are produced that they can afford to have on the craftworld, mainy for replaceing combat loses but every now and then to expand jut a little. i see the exodites haveing large familiesas they are basically armish eldar and live a more basic life and thus most likely have large families but probably still have a fairly stable population as its not in any danger.
married human males are well know to be resistant to dark elder torture. Dark Eldar: why aren't you screaming in pain and suffering you seam to be almost enjoying this Human: Honestly my dealing with my wife is far worse than this torture. Dark Eldar: WHAT? HOW? WHY? Human: imagine the 3rd worst pain ever, than imagine it being constant and if you were to attempt to escape that pain you would suffer through at least the second worse pain and possiably the 1st worse pain if you suffered under the third long enough Dark Eldar: wait what are the 2nd worse pain? Human: Divorce where she gets at least half your shit and you have to pay her for divorcing you Dark Eldar: what? that makes no sense and I'm from commerath. Human: yea tell me about it. Dark Eldar: wait what's the worst pain? Human: oh if you have Children with her you theirs a good possibility you wont get to see them again and yet you still have to keep paying for them. Dark Eldar: while i admit that sucks how is that the worst. Human: Because the children you are paying for don't have to be YOUR Children. Dark Eldar: whats left of my soul just felt sympathy for you human Human: Thanks Dark Eldar: shall we continue than Human: Sure this is practically a vacation, plus theirs the benefit of if i escape ill be presumed dead on my world. Dark Eldar: alright how about his after were done with this session ill leave the door unlocked and a gun on the table. Human: Why thanks i appreciate it
Dolpins are known to punk sharks to the degree that if you see dolphins it typically means there won't be sharks for miles. They're THAT scared of them.
Sammy Martin Star Trek: "We bend spacetime itself to travel faster than light. Star Wars:pfff we dive into another dimension to go ftl. Imperium:yeah, well we dive into hell itself. Dark Eldar:we rape our way across the galaxy, eat suffering and live in hell Homunculae:we sell necklaces of still living human baby heads on the weekends. and we dont replace the roll of toilet paper
When the toilet paper is replaced it looks normal but is made with polymerised capsaicin. No doubt lego bricks and 1/2" nails on the toilet seat too and a cistern full of sulphuric acid.
*WHAT THE PHUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!* Evil/Dark Eldar : wait you were enjoying this the *entire time* *HELLL YES, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IVE BEEN IN THE GUARD*
42:26 Not to mention that one time in Master of Mankind where the Mechanicum found a cavern in the webway that is so deep that one would die of old age before hitting the bottom.
First: Man Dark Eldar are sexy. Second. I would really like to play an Action-RPG in a Dark Eldar Witch Arena world. All the horrible tortures aside it sounds like a interesting place.
Would love that. Specially knowing that many Wych cults organize fights to the death in order to decide which one of them gets the best male to have children with. Also, i personally loved the story of Lelith Hesperax. Damn good way to shaft an Archon, i must say
Crazy fan theory: The Dark Eldar are surrounding themselves with so much pain and excess pleasure not only to stave off soul death but to also prepare themselves from the innevitable day that they do end up as dinner for Slaanesh. Infinity suffering endless agony and pleasure inside Slaanesh might be tempered somewhat if you've already experienced such things before. Of course paltry Dark Elder methods pale in comparison to what Slaanesh can dole out, but it might still help a little.
1) Haemunculi never rulled the Commorragh. They dumped all that boring ruling bullshit on the old aristocracy and retreated tp their laboratories to do really fun stuff. When Vect took over they looked at it, decided that itd woed not matter and continued with their business. 2) Stitching corpses and recovering as much as eldarly possible helps, but not necessary. With enough suffering Haemunculi can resurrect their client out of the single finger bone. 3) Vect is actually 10000 years old, not 5000. It took him 5000 years to rise from the slave boy to a level at which he could plan his revolution. 4) Disjunctions are not at all what you have described, and the means to deal with them have nothing to do with Blanks. "Path of" series goes in enough details on them to make an entire lore video. 5) Webway actually repairs itself over time unless you don't remove the very problem that caused it to crack. Finding it and dealing with it is the main focus of eldar in power during Disjunctions. 6) Raiding Tau isn't actually that popular. They don't have much of a soul even in comparison with humans and their emotions are much duller. As a result they don't make good pain slaves or gladiators. 7) The only marines who actually invaded the Dark City and got away alive are the Salamanders and the Death Guard. Both suffered quite heavy casualties though. Subrealms didn't get such a stellar records, but they're backwater boondocks as far as high Cabals are concerned.
hameunculi did rule the eldar empire prior to the fall. no but tau are easy plus there are other alien races among the tau. vect has been ruler for 5k so yeah he is a young noble because after Vect there were no more noble houses.
Noximus Jamaicanus Well, when their primarch was thrown to their planet, at one point, the DE tried raiding them. Vulkan clobbered a hundred of them and ever since, the salamanders have a dislike for them. There was also a moment where salamanders died to a human-killing virus by them, only for their armors to reanimate under the machine spirit and finish murdering those responsible.
I instantly start disliking anything that has Ultramarines in the starring role. Salamanders and Space Wolves would be my favourites... from that side. World eaters and Death Guard hold my true allegiance.
Given the Drukari target civilian populations to terrorize and enslave and torture, the Salamanders take particular... care to ensure their flamers are in tip top condition for any close encounters.
Oh joy. the kinky BDSM 'we're totally not degenerates worshiping Slaanesh' faction. Let's be honest Arch: to these pointy-eared assholes, 'evil' *is* good! Real talk: Thanks for making vid Arch. I really needed something to help cope/keep it together after learning my father passed away yesterday, and your vids are really helping keep me occupied and not having a total breakdown from grief.
Distraction is always fun just don't forget to leave some time for tears. It makes things easier in the long run. Also TITS , NIPPLE CLAMPS AND ARCHS HEAVY BREATHING.
I know this 5 months late but just know that somewhere on this planet someone (me) read your comment and genuinely wishes you the best , my condolences may your father rest in peace and i hope your able to move on healthily and lead a great life as im sure your father would want you to :)
For all yall who were curious; Cholorophelia: getting off by sticking your wood into wood Formicophelia: arousal by having swarms of ants biting/crawling on you
I thought the second one was Choreophillia; Getting of by watching/ taking part in erotic dancing... But I knew it would be WAAAAAAYYYYY to vanilla for Dark Eldar.
You know it is really surprising that Arch's videos aren't more popular. The editing is nice and the script is very well done while not just rehashing what can be looked up on the wiki. I love the dark eldar as a faction but I honestly didn't know all that much about the wych cults and the homunculi
Lord Arch i write to you from agri-world Kvantus, me and the rest of my regiment enjoy watching your videos while going to the next blood soaked trench, it provides us a few moments of relaxment before we go back to do our duty to the God-Emperor. But i would like to ask if you could do a video covering us, the death korps of Krieg?
the craftworld eldar are the people that saw the fall coming and fled and lived lives of piety and repression, the dark eldar however saw the birth of a literal god of depravity from all the fucked up shit they were doing and there reaction was essentially "Well that's inconvenient i liked using my psyker powers, is the bdsm flesh sculpture snuff party still on for tuesday?"
That's some next level irony to get an add for a Star Treck game on a video about one of the best examples why 40k is the (in my opinion) better scifi uniniverse with deeper, more adult and sophisticated lore. Especially since Star Treck always was something that let me believe that scifi isn't my cup of tea because it is to sterile and clean for even 10yo me... Now I'm disappointed of myself for not discovering 40k earlier than something like two months ago...
I beta tested the Dark Eldar. The Dark Eldar if I remember correctly were a 4th Edition Rule. I had a bunch of pre-production models. These were Pewter, and not the plastic they officially released in. I wish I could find my banner. It was a Dark Eldar standing on a mound of skulls. Holding a banner with a space marine who was flayed open later by layer. It took over a month to build. I used tissue paper, a Warhammer skeleton 10 set, and a bunch of custom parts.
My theory, Cammorah is a giant joke by She-Who-Thirsts. The city is really in a diorama in one of slanneesh's pleasure palaces that it can nom at any time but they are just too much fun to eat yet.
Love the video! Though the eldar (especially dark eldar) are not brittle at all. The Imperium did an autopsy on them and discovered just how strong and durable they really are. Not NEARLY as formidable as a space marine, but well beyond a "normal" human. Dark Eldar especially are known to be much stronger and more durable than their craftworld kin. Not to mention they're agile enough to kick a live grenade back at the enemy before it explodes. Still, a shotgun blast to the chest will take out almost anything, so the point is moot. Again, love the video! Subscribed! Edit: Also I didn't know the haemonculi were also the aristocracy of the dark eldar before Vect came on the scene. I always thought they were the remnants of the pleasure cults that become MORE powerful than the actual aristocracy. A small distinction I know, but there are references in the lore of dark eldar nobles that aren't haemonculi (kabalite trueborns for example) so I thought I'd bring it up. As for craftworld eldar "woohoo", we know that Eldar bang all the time. It's a common misconception that craftworlders are prudes, but thats only in comparison to their dark cousins. If you read the "Path of" series you see that craftworlders have a ton of casual sex, drink, do drugs etc. The fact that they consider this lifestyle to be conservative and restrictive is proof of just how hedonistic they naturally are. As for actual child birth, Imperial scientists speculate that Eldar reproduction takes place over a LONG period of time and has many biological steps. It's something that's VERY intentional requires a lot of work from both parties. But when you get down to it the REAL REASON why craftworlders don't have children often is because there's a limited amount of soul stones. You can't risk having a baby who will be immediately murderfucked by Slaanesh, and getting new soul stones is very...VERY difficult.
Arch you're speaking that Irish too elegantly. Take it from someone who natively speaks it, it's a lot more blunt *edit* Arch I'm pretty sure the Irish for evil or terrible is uafásách by the way
Cheezy Nachoz26 I am Irish too and this guy is telling the truth we are taught irish/gaelic since starting school and it is nowhere near as elegant sounding as arch is pronouncing it
I once read somewhere and I am sure it is Canon, that for every newb 40K player who starts an Ultramarine Army, The God Emperor hands over 500 little girls to the Dark Eldar and kills a kitten.
One day when I become an old Hermit, I will make it my life's mission to count how many times Arch has said "to put it fucking lightly" or "as possible"
Question: is it the actual screams the dark eldar need, or just triggering the emotions? Because if it’s the latter, could they not find a way to basically have pod people wired up like in the matrix (mental horrors or simulations) carefully monitored to reset to prevent desensitization or adverse health effects from constant elevated emotional/mental trauma?
I mean we don't know the specifics, only the Homunculi do, but as what it is doing is, you know, regenerating the soul; it is probably safe to assume that it is the emotion itself as that impacts the warp(aka the realm of souls) also you're just forgetting that the dark eldar aren't only doing this because they need to and even without Slanesh they would almost definitely still still be having massive murder orgies. That is why Slanesh happened.
I mean, we all knew Fab Bile was one of the most terrifying in Warhammer. He's literally a psycho Apothecary off on his own making monsters that rival Haemonculi beasts of flesh. His minions are all clones, or crafted from captured bodies. It's nuts. I remember hearing a story from ABP about when he captured another Apothecary that was fighting alongside scouts marines / sent one of the scouts away with a bunch of harvested gene seed to save their chapter. Basically said marine kills a dreadnought in melee, then gets blown away from the reactor of the dread going critical, I think his plasma pistol blowing up as well. He wakes up to someone being all friendly with him and at first thinks it's a friendly Apoth. Nope. Fabius Bile dragged him off while he was in a coma and he became Bile's next toy.
Another possible reason for the dark eldar being more tech savvy is due to the fact that they don't rely on psychic abilities and things like wraithbone and instead focused on other means to get things done. In the second codex it said that the dark eldae no longer had psychic (or at least stunted) powers, but were more physically able then their gypsy cousins.
"There really are fates worse than death! Consider supporting me on Patreon!" I heard the hint, daddy Arch. No need to get the whips out! *opens wallet*
Great video I started my first army in 40 k as dark eldar when they came out and they are dear to my pirate heart!!!! Almost 20 ish yrs ago and nobody really talks about them so this makes my day keep it goin man love it !!!!!!
Dude...7:19 dolphins rape sharks... it is messed up... if the beings of the immaterium are sharks... the Eldar won. Come to think of it dolphins would be Slaanesh minions... oh man ... I hate that I did research on dolphins 15 years ago....
It would seem intelligence correlates to general violence and rape-iness. I mean, chimpanzees regularly go to war with each other, dolphins are horny shits that get high on pufferfish, and IRL humans invented the varias -philias the dark eldar love so much.
On the whole thing with Craftworld Eldar not reproducing issue: I'm not sure where or when I read about it, or even if that's been either consolidated or retconned in the current canon, but I seem to recall either a suggestion or an open statement about soul gems being a bottleneck in the Craftworld Eldar reproductive cycle. The gist of it was that they could only be sourced from a single planet or moon (or a handful of them?) and that in order for them to work properly an eldar would have to "bond" with them very early in their infancy (perhaps when they're still toddlers). The result of this is that even if Craftworld Eldars started mass-producing babies, those babies would then grow up to be immediately schlorped by Slaanesh upon getting inevitably murdered by a Drukhari or a Deathwatch marine, as part of the natural course of their life cycle.
I hear salamanders will momentarily displace their incredible humanity just to indulge in the act of ruining a dark eldar's day. And that is saying something
Orks invaded Dark City. Commorragh stands. Daemons invaded Dark City. Commorragh stands. Space marines invaded Dark City. Commorragh stands. Chaos space marines invaded Dark City. Commorragh stands. Your hope is futile .
O Arch, could you, sometime in the near future, do a Lore video about some of the lesser-known 40k races? Like the Q'orl, Rak'Gol or maybe the Interex? Just askin'.
If you don't turn off adblock for Arch, you're not a real fan. Just saying, guys. Support him instead of joking about denying him his well-deserved ad-revenue.
@@omarabe26 since their entiee species knowingly accepted genestealer cults, knowingly made deals with eldar, and openly rejected the existence of daemons after loosing several etherials to them.
Hubris sounds about right with the Craftworld Eldar's restraint. It's important to remember that EVERYTHING about the Craftworld dweller's existence is about preventing a second fall. So much so, that members of the craftworlds REGULARLY break off and become corsairs even though it means their inevitable demise. It takes a very special kind of "bored" to actually want to do that.
