The Dark Eldar (Drukhari) EXPLAINED By An Australian | Warhammer 40k Lore 

"Dammit I had a really good perverted thought and now I'm too distracted to remember it."

"Torturer's tale" hints it at being real

It's a nice story... Invites for rebelion "If one guy has done it I can do" so Vect doesn't run out of enemies/puppets for fulfilling his plans

I think its less a case of them liking it, and more a case of them being too damn terrified of a guy who somehow pulled off that massive feat of accomplishment.

Slumdog Overlord

@@ReignierAvon Not to mention he also according to some sources (one of them being himself and thus being suspect of course) older than the actual fall, which means that he is an old man in a world where people usually gets hilariously slaughtered young.

Not just a form of warfare. It's a lifestyle, a political ideology and an economic system. Maybe even a religion.

@@hz.kemalpasa2997 *we could make a religion out of this*

@@NirvanasBoyfriend I smell heresy...

@Angry JayByrd the pre-fall eldar is to blame for the Emperor's Children funnily enough, also for the Eye of Terror and a lot of bad stuff. Pretty much only Orks, Necron and Tyranids of the now existing threats have not been at the very least made worse by the eldar.

Balls to the wall would be the perfect metaphor here

Is that an anime Charles de Gaul

Underrated comment 🤣

HERE- *tries it out* Ya know....Maybe this isn't so bad🤔

So in order to get a HOT, sexy, crazy kinky, bdsm/goth SPACE elf girlfriend I have to beat her into a literal bloody pulp and quickly get her revived and she'll be completely smitten with me and love me for all time? It sounds SO wrong, and yet I'd be honestly tempted to do such!

I must know more and or where i can read this?

@@warmachinemkx2308 the story is called “The Skull Harvest.” By Graham McNeill. And if you’re familiar with him, you’ll know he’s an excellent writer.

@@Forbiddensirenz thanks 👍

@@Forbiddensirenz tell me, does the marine keep the eldar, what are their fates? I do want to read it but i like knowing what I'm getting myself into

They'd probably see the worst stuff out there as mild entertainment. And probably amusing.

@Captain Taco Sauce bad dragon fulfills that category

They took one look at Euphoria and said: "That's pussy shit, check this out."

@@ahkilleuskosmos6836 "Euphoria" istn't even extreme when it comes to ero guro. At least when you include manga. Anime tends to be more tame because higher production costs so less niche and risky stuff.

EXTREME MON KEH

Drukhari "what the hell is wrong with these monkeigh?" Australian, stabs Drukhari, "just having a laugh mate, no worries" proceeds to involve aussie wildlife. "Have you ever been tickled by the suicide tree?" Proceeds to involve plant life. "No worries, pal" starts to get creative. "Ain't that right *FRIEND* " "hold on tight, buddy, this is going to get dark" *smiles*

I sleep on the gimp(y) gymp(y) plant I don’t even want to kill myself. Can I join the dark eldar as a monkeigh

Drukhari RU-vidr: "The history of the Australians is actually a lot like our own." "So the Australians used to belong to the most powerful empire in the world, but all that power went to their heads because they started committing a fuck load of crimes. The empire sent all its criminals to an island called Australia, where there were no laws. Which is pretty fucked up if you think about it. It's like condemning a thief to a lifetime of forced thievery. "Anyway, the empire kept committing atrocities and eventually this led to its downfall, but present day Australians don't care and actually consider their nation better than the old empire anyway. "Like us, the Australians like to take things to the extreme. For instance, it was already sunny as shit down under, but they still wanted more sun. They don't have sun-snatching tech like we do, so they just straight up burned a hole through their ozone layer instead. "They decided this still wasn't hot enough, so they continue to mine, burn, snort and export coal in every square inch of the country despite Terra's rapid global warming. The old empire were the ones who invented burning coal, so despite its collapse the Australians have basically said 'yeah nah mate, we'll just carry on with that.' If anything they've stepped it up a notch."

"When the old empire collapsed, a new force of evil was spawned called the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP wants to eat Australia whole, and the only way the Aussies can hold it off is by mining MORE coal and handing it over. Either way, the CCP sucks their souls with one-sided trade deals. "There's also spiders n shit. Gnarly place."

@@JudicialBrat She was going through a phase

@@bolerobolero5668 She was originally from Biel Tan so she liked to fight a lot.

@@bolerobolero5668 she was a originally a Craftworlder, then became a Corsair and got betrayed (Pirate) then fell and became a Dark Eldar.

Well the ability to be effectively immortal via respawning after your death does obviously mean you have massive population growth. Let alone they were created by the same people who made orks so of course they would be very capable of reproduction.

I'm pretty sure their population was in the trillions.

I dunno, implying some aliens don't deserve extinction sounds kinda heretical to me

@@IAmTheStig32 eh orkz are okay

Every Xenos needs to learn their place when it comes to dealing with the Imperium, but the Drukari are a major reason why Chaos is as much of a problem as it is today.

Got you bro - The Hive Mind

Sure they might be the worst sentient race around but they do all the horrible things they do for survival. So yeah they're bad but they have their reasons

Vect would manage to win via some dickery

here at 10,666 views, outstanding move

But they do have that. All of the Dark Eldar Archons have their own little kingdoms and territories, and constantly fight and backstab each other, with Vect on the top.

@@mxviii Yes, but Vect is *too* on top. There's no serious challenge to him, or at least it doesn't feel like there is. It's like everyone else is fighting for second place, not first. It'd be far more interesting if he was hanging on by a thread, playing his enemies off each other, dodging assassination attempts, all that good stuff, getting dirty with all the other Archons because he's just a couple of bad days away from being unseated like everyone else. I don't know if there's some recent lore or fiction that has changed this status quo at all, but there's no tension to Vect's story. He's not the Tywin Lannister of Comorragh, he's more like Zeus watching Greece from atop Mt. Olympus. It's boring, especially because he doesn't even have the other gods and goddesses to have drama with.

Regular Cult of Strife succubus with a tryptich whip "We just let her believe that."

@@boyanpenev9822 What the hell, mate? Lelith is stated numerous times in lore to be far superior to any other succubus, let alone those in her own wych cult. Tbh, she actually IS SOMETHING ELSE, as shown in Phoenix Rising where she walked out unscratched in that group fight against Shalaxi Helbane despite charging first and aiming at the thing's face. (A solitaire got cut in half, and Jain Zar was tagged and only take the strike using Ynnari soul amp).

Well, Drazhar is probably better, since he's cut Jain Zar in half (through cheating, though). But honestly if we compare her and Jain's respective performance against Helbane in Phoenix Rising, Lelith actually did pretty well for someone using random daggers as weapons and wore no protection whatsoever (she walked out unscratched, the rest of her team either got bisected or crushed, hell, even Jain Zar got hit). I'd say the in the Drukhari as a whole goes like this 1)Drazhar 2)Lelith or Kheradruakh (Mr Decaptitaor has incredibly high ends such as fighting Vulkan under weird circumstances, and others that aren't as impressive)

@@user-kc5yo9xk3v Hey, take it with GW's rules team. In lore, she is a big deal, though the Shalaxti Helbane fight was absolutely horrendous fluff that made the Ynnari look utter trash. In terms of game stats, though, Lelith is a joke. A Cult of Strife succubus with the relic whip is miles ahead of her in terms of damage.

They've already dragged an entire tyranid-infested planet into the webway. Now they fly there on safari. Tyranids are only arena toys for the dark eldar

hive mind: “fuck it. let’s make an entire hive fleet of hive tyrants.”

@@synergy8879Vect: This will end badly for all those involved, continue. *smug laughter*

Incubi (male only warrior order parallel to the succubi) use aspect warrior soul stones as an initiation ritual. To be inducted u have to slay an aspect warrior and take the stone back to the temple. Then proceed to wear it like a trophy Sometimes they use the agony of the soul trapped inside to fuel themselves

Additionally to the above comment, it's kind of a double edged sword for the DE because on 1 hand every eldar life is precious(although they'll never admit it) but on the other hand being immortal another eldar soul is the ultimate form of sustenance. The soul stones in true DE fashion are usually weaponized or kept and displayed proudly as trophies after picking a fight.

And torture, slavery, rape and fun science experiments. Occasionally at the same time

Inquisitor that man right there
