I sort of detected a hint of compassion in Kyras. Especially when he mentioned the Eldar souls not being consumed by Slaneesh, but by Khorne, which is a huge boon. This is why Kyras was my favorite Chaos worshiper in the DoW series. Such a charismatic villain.
Bloodletter: Um lord Khorne....we just got a new shipment of souls but.... Khorne: What? What's wrong? Bloodletter: They're ELDAR!!!! Khorne: WTF.....!?!?
@@admiralspire8867 I don't reallu think it matter, sure it's less "nurishing", but his followers doing the sacrifice are already giving him much energy Plus it would probably still take thise souls just because it would piss Slaneesh off
I find it so funny that the Eldar are so haughty and by the end of the mission Rohnan: is crying deeply in the corner Veldoran: Feeling like a dumbass Kayleth: Even more so than Veldoran Other Farseer: No one cares about her feelings.
Rustymcnut The daemon in the maledictum was a greater daemon of khorne and rather than ascending Kyras went even further and bonded with it so it had to be a sacrifice for khorne.
well considering that slannesh would rape, torture, and toy with all those eldar souls, yet khorne would just go OMNOMNOMNOM to the souls, i can see how it would a fraction better
Khorne will either turn their souls into daemons or as you said, omnomnom - all of which are unwilling acts to an eldar but stll better compared to Slaneesh.
+Frank G Don't tempt fate, or C.S. Goto to be more precise. We don't need everyone's least favorite midget writing ANOTHER Eldar rape scene, and I'd rather not see Kyras depicted using a multilaser.
Kyras was seduced by a Deamon of Khorne in the Maledictum, he had no choice who to worship. Also Kyras isn't a Sorcerer, Khorne hates Sorcerers not Psykers in general. What IS wierd is Sindri in DoW1, he WAS a Sorcerer.
Well, Sindri didn't have much choice either, he wanted to ascend to demonhood, and the way he decided to use was using the Maledictum, which had a Kornate Demon inside of it. So he had to please Khorne so he allowed it. Also do not forget we are talking about Sindri... SINDRIIIIIIIIIII...
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="194">3:14</a> i love the irony when the inquisitor said "the emperor protects" after he just ordered to kill millions of imperial lives
When an Eldar gets rekt by a guy as glorious as this it is a sight to behold. Their pompous arrogance getting them into trouble, Kyras telling them that they fucked up and that well deserved burn on Ronahn.
Damn Kyras really knows how to break them. Just by talking. And showing just how badly they fuck up, and hilariously how their arrogance backfires. Also Rohnahn just got absolutely crushed.
Damocles178 I usually tell people to play the campaign at least twice. Once with their favourite race and once with the Tyranids. The Tyranid campaign is actually pretty fun since it plays so differently, as you only have one hero to control.
Tyranid is also the easiest, just spam venom cannon warriors and you just... win... They do absurd damage against everything in the campaign, though were nerfed heavily in the multiplayer.
Zilenan91 Yeah, I played a couple of missions like that, a few others massing gaunts and others with a bunch of Carnifexes. Since you don't have to invest into a single type of unit like most of the other campaigns want you to do you can do whatever the hell you feel like at any point. For the final boss I just built whatever unit I could afford to make a proper varied 'Nid swarm.
I played the IG first and then the 'nids and this is very true. As an added bonus, the tonal shift was huge. The story changed from a plucky band of heroic guardsmen saving an entire sector to a horror story. Kyras slowly sinks into despair as all he worked for, all the power he gathered and warriors he corrupted, everything he ever had or knew is just insufficient. The great Devourer consumes all, and in the end there is nought but silence on dead worlds. It was chilling, and it was excellent.
Wow even among other Eldar the Eldar preventing the Exterminatus still treated Kayleth with no more regard than those in the Imperium. Would've been good if the previous mission was made slightly different; in the case of the Eldar Campaign, instead of interrupting the ritual your forces could try to help the other Eldar by defending the ritual and then Kyras sends in his own forces to stop it because while he prefers manipulation to get the job done, he would surely want to make sure the fleet gets through as it's crucial for his ascension to daemonhood; eventually Kyras forces could prove to be too much for the Eldar putting an end to the ritual and forcing you to flee and from there things would happen as normal . I know the missions in Retribution are more-less exactly the same but a bit of deviation would've been nice or at the very least a better reason for the two Eldar factions to willingly kill each-other; such a thing doesn't really seem in the cards for a race on the brink of extinction.
Michael Tabbut That's true, I'm just saying, Kyras himself may have preferred to devote himself to Tzeench, though I'm guessing he wanted to pull a Be'Lakor and receive power from all 4 gods.
khorne hates usage of sorcery and psychic abilities (note that being a sorcerer and being a psyker are two different brands of witch) but he does not hate it when somebody is a psyker or a sorcerer. kyras have shed blood using physical, not magical, means. knowing how to pick locks doesnt make you a burglar
I find Kyras like really respectable guy Imagine getting your soul liberated from Slaanesh and safely getting you to Khorne instead As an Eldar in Warhammer universe, it would be a liberation
Hmm right about now I have to say Kyras is now my favorite villain in Dawn of war. Just find it interesting how he could even suggest solace in the fact Eldar souls would go to Khorne :)
You know why the Blood Ravens are so successful at trolling every other force in the galaxy? Look at the abbreviation of their name. HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
''The exterminatus fleets looms over you, and your misery, is about to end... '' Suddenly I'm wondering how much Kyras actually knows where Eldar go when they die, or what happens to souls sacrificed to the dark gods in the first place xD
As much as I hate to agree with Kyras it is a mercy the soulstones will be consumed by Khorne. He just eats them. Slaanesh likes to play with his food,
Yeah, Veldoran you are so wise, because there are so many eldar serve chaos. They may serve Slaanesh it's so obvious, or Khorne who just love sneak attacks and psychic users...
Agreed. If only the campaign missions were varied . At best I could only play through the campaign twice before getting bored as it's not as fun when you know how to do the missions after the first or second play-though. The conversations were epic and just about the only real reason to go through it again :)
@NaelokQ It's good to know that they're not always the pompus arrogant gits I once believed them to be. And that at least in this case, they're having a hard time with things. But still, I never pity the Eldar.
Ye- No. Chosen Space Marines are basically Chaos Lords in terms of fighting capability. That Chosen Space Marine has a Warp Tainted Power Sword and a Melta Pistol. My Force Commander had a Power Sword and Plasma Pistol.
Its kinda sad that the eldar try to pretend to be proud and powerful when they are the ones who created slaanesh and caused her to thirst endlessly for their souls
I wonder what happened to that Vindicare Assassin that fell in love with her in the story Love Can Bloom from 1d4chan? I mean, that story got so popular that it was actually hinted in parts of Dawn of War II to be true. How did he failed to protect her?
@outlawstar15a2 did you play Blood ravens campaingn in dark crusade? the blood ravens kill farseer taldeer, and it was later canon in down of war 2 when it was confirmed that the blood ravens won that campaing
@Anonie324 yes, good voice acting all around. The writing is decent, but as per usual, Relic stays a tad too far from the IP for my tastes. (and before anyone asks, there were no solid examples from this particular video. I meant that as a general statement)
@outlawstar15a2 She was a cold, arrogant DoB, who could burninate a seasoned SM commander with a line. Yeah, they don't make farseers like they used to.
xrhstos xaralampous because the Blood Raven is a chapter known for its great number of Psykers and Chapter warcry "Knowledge is Power", its Chapter Master is also chief librarian, it is hinted they come from the remnant of Thousand Sons legion. So it's kind of a theme now really.
man aziriah kyras was so well done in this game in every meaning of the word....almost all games would cock up this type of character when they reveale him after the type hyping up he got last game, sega....dont fuck relic
Finally puts my questions to rest but people seriously you should have seen this coming taldeer would've died anyway...that is what happens to xenos...for the emperor
You are mistaken. GW declared all of the video games and books they produce are canon as long as they don't interfere with core rulebook or codex canon.
You lie. You MUST. Where have you heard this? What evidence do you have? If it was in DOW2 I can find it and see for myself if you tell me where to look.
