DRAZHAR AND THE INCUBI - DRUKHARI 

I used to not be able to stand the Drukhari. They were just so contemptable and over the top that I couldn't engage with them. But your stories and lore have really given me an appreciation for them. When they're handled properly, they are truly terrifying. It's a tricky balance to maintain their mystique and you have done it, my friend!

Can we quit calling him just baldamort, and call him Lord Baltamort?

Please write a book

Help me Inquisiteur Obi Wan Clouseu your my only hope.

So so true.

Eh, they do what they have to do to survive. While Necrons do it because they want to

@@Connordaboss45 eh no one will miss them.

@@ambushbob5383 well, i mean the Tyranids... I would give them priority

my fav race 😢

I just gave you your 69th like

Oh I’d like to, but I don’t really do horror. I don’t read or watch it, so could be rather pants at it. :)

@@baldermort Most of the 40k is a horror story. You handle it very well.

Do it!!!!!!!!!!! Do it now!!!!!!!!!! Run!!!! Go!!!!!! Get to the horror.

😎😎

Ahhhh. A fellow deviant Deldar player! Well met brother!

Isnt that only Phoenix lords?

The Phoenix lords are exarchs, actually! So yes the Phoenix Lords do that but they’re essentially just very powerful exarchs

@@isupposethisismynmw640 oh i dint know that

Pardon my necro-post but this is a bit of complex lore. tl;dr: Exarchs are gestalt entities with multiple soul stones. Phoenix Lords are more like daemons in that they devour the mind/soul of the Exarch that puts on their armour. Detailed version: This is based from lore gathered from the Path of the Eldar trilogy/Omnibus; some of this may have been retconned. As previously mentioned, Exarchs are a gestalt entity of sorts created by an Aspect warrior who for lack of better term merges their War Mask with their core identity. Once this occurs they stop being able to function like a normal Eldar. From then on they are drawn to a temple of their aspect that is currently missing an Exarch. Once found they don the armour and effectively merge their soul with all the previous Exarchs who wore that armour. The Phoenix Lords are vary similar in this regard as when a Phoenix Lord dies, an Exarch is drawn to take up the armour. However, unlike the Exarch a Phoenix Lord is not a gestalt intellect. The Ego or Identity of the Phoenix Lord completely overwhelms and effectively devours the Exarch. Two related points: 1) Exarchs never join the Infinity circuit. They serve until either their soul gems are destroyed, they are called upon to resurrect a Pheonix Lord or they are sacrificed to activate an Avatar of Khaine. 2) This is less a point and more providing description as to what a War Mask is. Because of Eldar nature, in order to contain their killing instincts, Craftworld Eldar developed a means of basically compartmentalizing their mind so as to prevent their war time actions from becoming overly represented in who they are. Best example of this is to use modern military as an example. Militaries can train people to become soldiers and kill. Deprogramming the killing drive is a lot harder if not impossible with current psychological means. The Eldar get around this by creating mental blocks in their mind - effectively forgetting it all. When an Eldar loses the ability to do this, they become lost to the Aspect. What that means is best described in the Path of the Eldar book 1. A character in the process of becoming lost consciously thought he said "I want to go do something fun." to his Shrine mates at a public function. Innocent right? Well. What he actually said was "I want to go find something to kill." Eldar that lose their mask are likely to become the villain for a 90's slasher film. For purposes of avoiding a multipage essay, I kept it simple.

Oh they’re horrible. Worst evil in the setting by far.

Amen

His kind didn't destroy every world they landed on

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 hey mankind didn't manifest slanesh into the warp than reality

@@popopopoool neither did the Asuryani and Exodites

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 They were only the Eldar before. They split into the three classifications a little before The Fall/Birth. So yes, his kind. Did do that shit for 60 million years. The only difference is they stopped after a certain territory expansion size was met and still view all other life as lesser/expendable.

@@baldermorttruly you are a inspiration.

"I'm a simple Warrior. I see Custodes getting killed, I click like."

Oh crumbs, they’re better. But thanks boss.

Trying. Eldar are my ‘main’. But the cud’s don’t do welll. Sigh. So I have to ration them. :(. Pity. I do love Eldar lore.

Thanks commander. :). Sorry I’m not in discord much. Trying to do space wolves. Taking its time. :(. .

@@baldermort it’s all good I hope all well my friend.

Oh they’re rancid. Check out Hormonculi. :(

@@baldermort I absolutely will. That name sounds promisingly awful. :D

Loll. :).

Kheradruach send his regards

Gotcha. Hopefully lore of that type in the future. Working on strands. That input helps a bundle boss.

It was glorious, the mundane setting, the relatability of a "job for jobs sake" , the sense of not being "involved" in gossip etc because what's the point? I genuinely had chills about the end section (that I won't spoil) but I felt what the narrator felt and got goosebumps 🙂 I love warhammer for the stories, without narrative there is no universe and the games become just rolling dice and moving plastic but the stories make everything come alive , thanks for all your hard work, I know how difficult it is to script out videos never mind record that, keep up the good work! Have you ever written a narrative campaign for sale? I'd imagine you'd make something glorious!

Thank ye sir. Will be back in discord when the damned Wolves vid is written. Ten k words in and not scratched the surface. Arse. Sorry. :(.

Oh and I’ll need some lines done old chap. Guard commander.

@@baldermort sounds good my friend! Pop me a message with what you need and I'll get it your way :)

Note: Her name was Teresa of the faint smile.

He killed 3 custodes *simultanously* quick reminder that other factions are vastly underestimated

What story?

​@@Chadegon1693 Three isnt bad, but its not as much as others. Apparently a harlequin troop leader and a solitaire infiltrated the palace on terra and were fighting up the eternity stairs trying to get an audience with the Emperor. Between the two of them just over 100 custodes died before they were stalled and had to retreat before risking death. Like i said, named characters have plot armor, and while the custodes are the best next to the primarch, there has to be a few badasses out there who can fight and beat one of the gold mans gold boys.

@@antcow1239 3 is alot. The only thing that stopped him from killing more was that he ran out of custodes to kill. And no 6 harlequins entered the palace, 2 made it to the inner sanctum, 1 got captchured by the high lord inquisitor and the grand master of the inquisition. The other 4 regular harlequins didnt even see a custodes, and the shadowseer and deathjester killed half a dozen at best and most of them from range

@@Chadegon1693 Ok, i only knew the jist of the story

Yup, time to fire up the ol' Gauss Blasters...

My first reaction was to open the datasheets for Drazhar and Custodian Guards.

@@garouHH What did you find out about their stats??

@@thydzz2180 I *guess* that such a fight might be the result of an unlikely alpha strike, but I don't quite believe it. I'm not game-experienced though, so don't trust my judgment. I'd like to see the result of that match being played100 times.

@@garouHH same here but the table top power scale is a bit more toned down compared to the actual lore. Toned down for balance purposes. You really cant play a game where a Custodes could simply one-shot Assault Marines with one action phase

Dark eldar is basically chaos eldar. They are not directly worshiping Slaneesh but are feeding her. In theory they are worshipping her by feeding her others agony. The dark eldar are chaos corrupted without them really realising it

Thanks brother Strix. :)

Ta. :)

For ROGAL!!!

Thanks brother Sulea. :) :)

you know they get off on the spoopiness

@@sessy01 And they pull off the whole Dark scary swordmaster without looking like absolute edgelords. Thats one hell of a feat

You're right. Strangely un-eldar behavior. Build up dread, but without any ostentation, and end it with jaw-dropping speed and efficiency. Everything is oddly controlled, with only a hint of flair. Like an enraged harlequin who breaks character and just turbo-kills the target like the first arena fight in "Gladiator".

Drazhar versus a Solitaire would be the clash of the century.
