the innari lore only makes sense if you understand that cegorach is an ancient tzeench/unfallen gabriel. that the things that are unfolding are not logical, they are daemonic powers at their maximum/ancestral level. ynead is a daemon, blue, birth from commoragh that behave like ancient eldar. get it? ynead and slaanesh are tzeench/emperor ploy.

Not to be that douche who quotes samurai philosophy but there is an appropriate quote from Musashi that helps explain why Solitaires are fucking horrifying: "To win any battle, you must fight as if you are already dead" The general idea being that if you try to stay alive, you're fighting to *survive* and win. If you've accepted your death, you're fighting to *kill* your enemy, and as such, your victory is far more likely. Solitaires know they're already doomed, so what do they have to lose? They can train and fight with absolute abandon because nothing worse can come to them that they aren't already fated for. Fighting a warrior is one thing. Fighting a warrior who is willing to impale himself on your spear and drag himself along the haft just to make sure he can stab you through the heart is a whole other thing entirely. Solitaires, fuck yeah

So their kind of like the Avatar of Khaine, but thanks to Cegorach being alive and the Slaanesh boost they are stronger.

my headcanon is that Tzeentch views Cegorach as a fellow player in the Great Game, and wants his opponents to play as long as possible

Chegorach was the god that ended the War in Heaven, convincing the C’tans to fight and devour each others. He is extremely smart and I don’t think that Tzeentch had something to do with saving him.

I agree with the take here on the Solitaire power level. Their name seems to imply that they always operate alone (as in separate from other Solitaires) which is good news to everyone else they might decide to fight. Pretty terrifying when one of, if not the fastest beings in existence just needs to land one hit and you are instantly dead. There is 0 margin for error if you fight one, regardless of who you are, which I think adds some much needed power to the Eldar as a whole.

Actually, Eversor assassin going blow for blow with Solitaire in that story kind of makes sense. There is no way he was sent to duel Solitaire, and there is no way governor just had an imperial assassin in his bodyguard, definitely not Eversor assassin. Eversor was probably on the same mission and Solitaire found it humorous and fought through dozens of bodyguards and retinue members as that's exactly how Eversor would have gone about his mission, letting him complete it by exploding in death. I don't think Solitaire was fighting to kill, he wanted to guide him into the same room as governor.

Is the HKs filament mechanism powerful enough to shred them to bits as well? 🤔

@johnfarscape Год назад

@horuslupercal2385 well technically mono filament wire is actually physically impossible but if it was then you wouldn't need the kiss part to inject the wire as the filament whip woild separate the bonds of anything it passed through. . If we take the term as just being a name and it being an incredibly thin wire then it would kill unarmoured or lightly armoured crew but power armour would be enough to protect you. . . Still not as much fun as opening a portal inside the vehicle with an Ork shock attack gun and filling it with rabid snotlings though 🤣

Some of the descriptions for Solitaire feats remind me of the old 90s X-Men cartoon, with how Apocalypse would start boasting with lines like "Many have attempted to destroy me, and you are no closer today than were the Babylonians with their swords and fire arrows!" And "I am as far beyond mutant as mutant is beyond human!"

Majorkill, dunno if you know this death but… In Ahriman: Eternal, a solitare is dropped by surprise attack from a demon. A singular demon.

Watch "Gurren Lagann" 'nuff said. The power creep was so ludicrous, they were using entire spiral galaxies as shurikens before the end.

I know it's probably an error, but "Blade of Hurricanes" is something that *should* exist in the lore. Majorkill out here doing his goddamnedest to make me finally join this hobby properly and spend a fortune on Ynnari models.

Big fan of the Eldar. I even still have the ORIGINAL Harlequins from way back in 1986. The ones that scared everyone so badly that no one wanted to play 40k with me. Still hate those wimps...

So what exactly makes them so powerful? 40k is lousy with goons who sold their souls for power. And if you've got something like a Keeper of Secrets, that's Slaan willfully investing her power into realspace as opposed to being sneaky and siphoning power from her Freudian hose. Where's the special training, modification, or chemical X that's buffing them up to such a degree? Also Harlequins cutting down Custodes like it's nothing is BS lore that might as well be meaningless in the game. You telling me that a unit costing a bit more than a tactical marine can take on a Custodes? There must be a massive disconnect between the people at GW writing the lore and the ones writing the rules. Nothing new then.

@mariotelarico8623 Год назад

I know very little about the Eldar. But these video essays make me want to dive into their lore.

@julioalvarado7308 Год назад

I’m just getting into 40k because of these lore videos. What books or animations would some of you fellow nerds absolutely recommend?

@Watcher-in-the-Dark Год назад

Books depend on the factions you like. If you like Space Marines then Horus Heresy for sure, if you wanna stick into 40k then I'd suggest finding your favorite faction then digging into their specific books. Ciaphas Cain is probably the best starting books for 40k as they are really fun with really good characters and with probably the most fan famous character in the setting. If you want well rounded info on the factions as a whole then if recommend the army books and wiki's. As for animations for badassery then Astartes, for top tier amazing then I'd recommend endlessly, If the Emperor had a text to speech device.

@scar6822 Год назад

Necrons have some great books. The Infinite and true Divine and Twice Dead King: Ruin and Reign are great as well.

@johnleoks7642 Год назад

It's always funny to me that the Custodes are portrayed as these perfect beings crafted personally by the Emperor himself, each being a protagonist in their own right and are second to none in terms of combat abilities. Then you see 1 Harlequin take out a bunch of them like it's a morning jog. Pathetic really.

Agility requires a different kind of strength then people that are like body builders. So I think the way they look makes sense. They are thin but pure muscle no fat. Giving them agility and strength. To much muscle takes away from agility.

So check it, The laughing god switched fulgrim and Khans pods right? What if the reason had something to do with when jagati went into the webway, he made some sort of deal or got captured by the laughing god and his gene seed was used on the harlequinns? Wouldn't that explain how the solitaires speed, strength, and power along with their showmanship kind of seem like a mix of the Khan combined with the laughing god?

@MrRawrCEO Год назад

Eldar wouldn't benefit at ALL from Gene Seed. Their biology is fueled primarily from psychic juice (even the psyker stunted D-Eldar still need tortured soul juice to keep themselves in tip top shape) and if they have enough psychic juice they can potentially become even stronger than space marines...they just can't use a lot of their power because Slanny BB will instantly nom their buttholes. That said I love the theory that Cegorach has the Khan in his back pocket ready to toss out like a pokemon at the exact right time. I sincerely have not thought of that and I love it immensely.
