What Is The Final Cronesword? - 40K Theories 

Eldar: "Give us the sword." Farsight: "Uh no its mine." Eldar: "We'll kill all the Ethereals we created in the first place if you do." Farsight: "Well okay if you- wait what?"

That pronunciation of Farsight’s real name was very impressive...

The idea of the Dawnblade being a cronesword is an amazing one. Especially if it lead to a Y'nnari/Eldar war against the Farsight Enclaves, by extension, a T'au empire seeking to finally "squash Rebellious elements".

In a shocking twist, the final cronesword isn't anything listed in this video, but it's actually the blades of Commissar Yarrick's lowly power claw. Just as Tzeentch planned!

The last Cronesword is Alpharius

Getting Farsight's name correct, possibly, was impressive. I had to listen to it twice to make sure. Amazing

I've heard that being able to pronounce Farsight's actual name five times fast without messing up is one of the trials in Tzneetch's labrynth.

what about the soulspear of the soul drinkers. the soul spear is an ancient weapon possibly older then the great crusade. it had a gene lock modified onto its framework but that was attached. the spear when analyzed by the adeptus mechanicus seems to changes shape and form under their microscopes and testing tools denying them entry into its secrets. the weapon itself seems to be able to damage reality where it strikes and is so fearsome a weapon that a demon prince of tzeetch a master of magic in its own right was terrified of the might it possessed at the end of the novel soul drinker. in addition the spear is of a twin bladed design one VERY uncommon among the imperiums arsenals. the custodes and deathwatch watch spears are one ended, even alpharius might as he was used a spear with 1 end, the soulspear was two ended a trait commonly associated with eldar weaponry. unable to take the shape of a custodes weapon it instead opted for some kind of hybrid weapon mashing imperial stylings with eldari architecture

What if the final crone sword was kitten's weapon and thats the real reason as to why he cant let go of his weapon?

The dawnblade was my first thought after hearing the properties of the other croneswords. It'd be great to have the T'au/Farsight involved in this galactic story arc and I think if the Ynnari allied themselves with Guilliman they would surely allie themselves with the T'au. And, as always: Great video, enjoyed it alot!

Watch, the new Crone Sword happens to be a cyber dong.

I am not sure if Remleiz is a cogbro or a heretech at this point. I mean he is making me enjoy learning about things that are maybe not real and probably heretical. But there is also no warpy shit going on, like the walls whispering to me or tasting the color yellow with my feet, which may suggest not heretech. Maybe he is both heretch and cogbro? Could be a Slaanesh-thing and this will all lead to cyberdongs... For now, I will continue to monitor this channel.

Absolutely love the video and dilemma that would present if Farsight has a Cronesword.

Final Cronesword is some Adeptus Arbites' toothpick that he chews on while breaking legs.

Its Sly Marbo's knife.

Far sight is the only tau I respect, the idea he is weilding a god blade makes sense considering the blades’s description and if so this will be an interesting development for the story of 40k

Uploading this at 5:30 am won't stop me watching it the second it's out.

I think that Farsight's relative disassociation from general Tau society could lead to a storyline where Eldar (or Cabal) elements are revealed to have found there Tau species and Farsight is welcomed for his, well, "farsightedness".

I think it's the Dawnblade too. Ok, and GG for Shas'o Vior'la Shovah Kais Mon'tyr... ;D

Whatever the final crone sword is, the only one worthy of using it is of course the sword master of maccrage, the one and only Cato Sicarius!

I can give one reason why the Ynnari can't just call up reinforcements and storm Belial IV: They don't have enough friends - last time they came to Belial IV, it was via the Webway and stealth, and they departed when they were detected, leaving several Harlequins to act as rearguard. Consider the three factions the narrator named as possible help: 1. Corsairs. Fractious at the best of times, I doubt that enough Corsairs are sufficiently interested in the Ynnari cause to storm a Daemon World by force. They are small (by the standards of armies) warbands, centered around single, charismatic leaders, whose whims carry the force of law. Can Corsair warbands be approached and wooed into alliance? Mostly, they can. But individually, with diplomatic strategy customized to each group's psyche. Not as a collective whole. 2. Craftworlds. Craftworlds may seem like a better pick for alliance, seeing as (most) Craftworlds are coherent forces, and (most) Craftworlds are on-board with the whole "Wake Ynnead up so he can lolsmite Slaanesh" thing. Buuut...there are some problems with the idea. First, most Craftworlds are led by Seer Councils, who are usually hidebound, reactionary old farts who believe in the *precise* wording of the ancient prophecies, and don't like the idea of taking shortcuts. The Farseers tend not to like Yvraine, or the Ynnari in general, and are sure as heck not going to place their whole Craftworld's resources at their disposal. Second, without going into too much detail, the major Craftworlds all have their hands full at the moment, most of them dealing with some combination of daemonic invasion and the aftermath of the 13th Black Crusade. So even those who want to help are kinda...busy at the moment. Third, the Ynnari have a...mixed reputation among the Craftworld Eldar in general. Many love them. Many hate them. Few hold no opinion on them. 3. Commorragh. There's a price on Yvraine's head in Commorragh, levied by none other than Asdrubael Vect himself. And it's not a *small* price, either - he truly, sincerely and whole-heartedly wants her dead, with an intensity that he hasn't wanted ANYthing with for millennia. She's humiliated him, called his control of the Dark Realm into question...and now Khaine's Gate has broken, with Commorragh suffering its worst Dysjunction in history - Vect thinks she's responsible for that too, which she sorta indirectly is. The entire city has fallen into chaos; whether it's the Mandrake King Kheradruakh converting a hundred or so square miles' worth at a time into his realm of shadows, the Daemons swallowing whole sub-realms or Vect's own rivals making a run at his throne (and incidentally grabbing everything of his they can en route), Commorragh is even more chaotic than usual. Yvraine will get no help from there. So who does that leave? The Tau: Naive and young, and more importantly barely even aware of the Warp and/or its functions. They're not going to help with a mission like this. The Necrons: No. Just no. The Orks: See previous. That leave the Imperium: Xenophobic and bureaucratic, but aware of the Warp, its dangers and what they (and humanity) stand to gain from the Forces of Chaos suffering a major defeat. They might be willing to help; they might even be able AND willing. Hence Yvraine's resurrection of Guilliman; by returning a Primarch to the helm of the Imperium, she's hoping to a) Establish that (unlike many other examples of human-eldar "alliances", in both directions), she genuinely wants an outcome which is mutually-beneficial; b) Ensure that she has a sympathetic ear in high places; and c) Get someone competent in charge on Terra, helping the Imperium find its feet again after the loss of Cadia. I wonder when Eldrad will tell her about the Coven of Isha...and how hard she'll smack him when he finally does. They could have saved her a LOT of time, embarrassment and effort.

excellent, get home to find a new Theory, from the Best theory channel! 😊

It's Sly Marbo's knife, obviously.

Could the last Crone Sword be one of the artifacts of Vulkan? Four have yet to be found and we know virtually nothing about them. As a smith god, Vaul might have begun to show favor to the people of Nocturne, who themselves were master blacksmiths, after the Eldar began descending into debauchery. If this is the case, then knowledge of the Crone Swords could have been gifted to the people of Nocturne who preserved it in their folklore, the knowledge ultimately passing to Vulkan who sought and eventually obtained the final sword.

Bad idea: It's actually the sword wielded by the God-Emperor, now wielded by his son, Roboute guilliman.

I like how the Crone swords all had special abilities but sword of souls only special ability was just that it was largest.

Always love you videos, but i NEED more videos on what might be under the surface of Mars. For non heresy stuff

Vaul, is surprisingly Dwarvish looking for an Aeldari god

Would be pretty based if the final sword was with Slaanesh, and someone would have to break into he/she/it's palace to steal it.

Given that the Pale Spear transmutes its targets into a different state of matter, phases through armor entirely and is always depicted visually with glowing green veins, it sounds more like a Necron relic than an Aeldari one imo

The Dawnblade is the most likely candidate for that, unlike the Emperor's Sword, but I remain sceptical until further evidence is brought to light, Now this might surprise you but there might be in fact a sixth sword of legend besides the Crone Swords, namely The Sword of Khaine, also known as Widowmaker and Godslayer, forged by Vaul among the 100th swords during the rise of Slaanesh, then cast down from the heavens, this would make it even more powerful then any of these blades,

I once met a Crone, gave me her Final Word... No? Ok then...

That is very interesting. The y'nnari seem very diplomatic at times and I could see them working with farsight. Also farsight could see in the eldari, something that once was the date of the Tau before the coming of the ethereal... Doom. And seek to help the eldari. Although at 1st I think the y'nnari would seek to take the dawn blade from farsight as they would see it as rightfully being there's and he as nothing but an unwary thief, but would only cease such action if influenced that the sword has chosen farsight as it's rightful bearer. Loved this video.

Fantastic video as always!

We'll see what happens with the new Ynnari novel.

I love this Video friend Keep up the amazing good Work that you do.😄👍

When I was hearing the properties of the Crone swords I immediately thought of the Dawnblade and the Last Breath

I'm curious as I don't know but is the entire eldari pantheon still alive sitting in slaneshes stomach and could theoretically they return through slaneshes destruction ?

I hope GW is going to go with the Dawnblade as I feel like that is the idea that opens up for the most possibility for new storys, from a duel between the Visarch and Farsight, to the Enclave becoming a bigger player in the galaxy, and of cause Guilliman, Farsight and Yvraine forming an Alliance... hell Farsight could even make moves against the normal Tau empire fully starting a civil war.

Hell yeah the dawnblade came to mind too. I love the Tau and Farsight by extension, so if it ends up being the last cronesword, id be thrilled. Great video as always!

Another great video!

10:58 I had to double take on that one, your mastery of pronunciation is without peer

Gabriel Angelos' hammer, God Splitter. That, or it's locked in the Blood Ravens reliquary.

What about the sword Cypher carries but never uses? That's be pretty nuts

A true plot twist would be that the 7's Way actually empovers Nurgle and the Ynnari worshipping the god of the dead are just being trolled.

Given that the Emperor's sword is powerful enough destroy daemons, is it possible that that blade is the last cronesword?

the moment i saw this videos title i was instantly like my moneys on dawnblade.

I agree that it is most likely the dawn blade. But it would be cool if it’s The Emperors’ sword.

In all seriousness, the design of the Dawnblade seems awfully convenient for Commander Farsight. It's almost tailor-made for his purposes. For starters, it's massive. That thing probably couldn't be lifted by a lone Aeldari short of a wraithguard, but it's certainly a convenient size for his battlesuit. Additionally, its aesthetic very closely matches the Tau. Almost as if its appearance was designed in anticipation of someone like Commander Farsight. So if the Dawnblade was indeed the final Cronesword, and the one that allegedly resides in the Palace of Slaanesh is merely a ruse to fool the Ynnari into giving up or attempting a suicidal retrieval, it's entirely possible that it deliberately disguised itself in such a way that the Ynnari wouldn't recognize it, seeing as they would likely expect an elegant Aeldari design.

"In this essay, I will argue that the greatsword Dawn, crafted by unknown means from a fallen star, possessed of unparalleled cutting power and milky white hue, signature weapon of the Sword of the Morning, birthright of House Dayne, is the best candidate for the fifth Cronesword of Morag-Hei, who drank her own blood to sup of the wisdom therein" - Radical Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, Preystone Jakob

Notification squad reporting.

What about Fulgrim's sword, beign one of them. That would be cool. Maybe even a corrupted version of the original sword, now doing the will of chaos just like the ancient eldar did

For the problem that : If the last Crone Sword was on Belial 4, the Ynnari would have already tried to aquire it...there is two major problem for this : -First, the Ynnari aren't this numerous, and their number barely atteint the strength of one Minor Craftworld. An all-out assault, is just suicide and sure to fail in such conditions. -2 : Yvraine don't have the ears (lol) of the CraftWorld and Kabal...some of them even hate her and view her as dangerous, while the majority, like Ulthwe or Biel-Tan, are divided toward their opinion concerning the Ynnari. If the Crone Sword is still on Belial 4, then I think it's more the lack of armies and ressources that stop Yvraine to acquire it.

My guess is that the final sword is wielded by Papa Smurf at the moment.

I always felt the final Crone-sword was the Emperors sword. Though I have read speculation that it was created by the Eldar smith God Vul, possibly as the 100th blade.

If it *is* the Dawnblade, then the space-Elves are going to have to pry it from Farsight's cold, dead hands. If he survives the encounter the good Shas-o will end up potentially surviving for aeons.

I agree on the dawn blade idea like few races can make a blade unique like a crome sword and like you stated these blade appear as different weapons until a elder appears

The last chrone sword? The Emperors Sword!

Farsight hold the final crone sword and will weild the completed crone sword as the blood red hand (mech suit) of Khaine.

Such weapons seem to have a tendency to drop into hands of outlaws.

It has taken the form of a guardsmans lasgun. The last place they would ever expect to look!

The power of the Dawn Blade is quite potent. being able to extend one's life and such. I think the blade itself looked rather normal until farsight made some modifications thinking it was a normal blade.

What of the final crime so sword was so fucking huge that the universe balances on its edge.

We will never know, after all if GW moves the plot to far forward into an end times like thing they will lose all trust of 40k fans. Though a punching match between ynead and a revived Emperor would be pretty amazing.

From a story perspective, I think having it be the Dawnblade, would make the most interesting story.

Come on Black Library! Give us a GOOD T’au/Eldar book! WE NEEDZ IT! AND YOU HAVE THE PERFECT REASON FOR IT!

Clearly the final crone sword is the largest and most throbbing of the emperors cyberdongs.

I'd love it to be Zaris, the 100th sword made by Vual BUT Anaris was made at difrent point in eldar god history and was shattered in to shards as khaine was by she who thirsts. Still would have been awesome, then again GW is forever known for changing lore to suit its needs for better or worse.

Also if he turned her hand, specifically her FINGERS into swords, what happened to the rest of her hand? The palm part. There's enough material there to probably make four more, if we're talking overall material..

The last cronesword is actually a hammer, it was made from the thumb. Currently it is believer to be in the possession of the imperial inquisitor Davie504

It’s the Emperor’s Sword that Primarch Bob now has. It fits with the idea that Terra is littered with Aeldari tech.

I could totally see Farsight and his enclave joining up with Yvraine if he possesses the final Cronesword. Especially since he's on salty terms with the Ethereals.

Question: If the Smith God took the severed hand and forged the fingers into swords, then what did he do with the palm?

Farsight's blade seems more likely. Once the swords are brought together are they going to be consumed in some ritual to raise Ynnead?

What if it’s the Black Templars’ Black Sword. Now that would cause a massive fight for the sword. If Logan Grimnar, could reform a demon blade, what if Dorn or Sigumind could reform a cronesword

Whenever I hear Yvraine, all I can think about are the memes.

I mean it could be the Last Breath, goes to reason one of them would be a bit weaker than the others, explaining why it has less or weakened properties. I'm calling it, The Last Breath was the pinky finger :P

Noice pictures of the croneswords-fanart?

Bigger plot twist... It's wielded by a random ork, cause it's pointy and shiny!!

What is the final crone sword you ask? Why it is none other than Alpharius.

The Sword of Balenight is another possibility, especially considering that Terra may have been a battlefield between the Eldar and Necrons millions of years ago. It was a blade so old, that even during Old Night it was ancient and its origins had been forgotten. It is said that no armor can stand against the blade, and that it damages the very lifeforce of its victims. Admittedly unlikely, but still possible.

Legitimate thought. What if the emperors sword is the last crone sword? I mean if they can change form under certain conditions, why couldnt the emperor simply just change its look to be more of a human design

The final act has begun. The troupe is ready the stage is set. The dance starts.

Hey man, it seems pretty clear that you're enunciating and speaking more clearly, which I think is great and it's really showing results! If I can give some feedback, I also feel you've slowed down your speech a bit too much. I watch newer videos on 1.25 speed because it sounds more natural. I understand you've done it consciously to make it easier on people but I think talking a little faster would sound better to the viewer; some sort of middle ground between how you used to speak and how you speak now. Loving the videos either way, thanks for the content!

probably a dumb idea, but what if the last crone blade was Big E's sword? it's called a relic blade. its firey and slays daemons. we know it was touched by his psychic power, but how much that power effected it and what it's properties before that were are not known.

got any theoris on what the true power of the lion blade is. there is a lot of odd things about that weapon and could hold some mystery

According to this Wiki, where teh 5th Cronesword is has been confirmed: warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Shalaxi_Hellbane "The daemon was able to travel to Belial IV before the Battle of Iyanden and steal the fifth Cronesword before the Ynnari could claim it, placing it far from the reach of the servants of Ynnead in the Palace of Slaanesh in the Realm of Chaos."

What do we know about the Emperors Sword? Big E had 10 thousand years to find it, had the technology of the dark age to travel the galaxy, and 20 thousand years of built up cash to burn. Unless there is a passage in a old codex, or HH novel that says where he got or how he made it.

The Dark Eldar wouldn't use a crone sword. They don't want to destroy the souls of their opponents/victims because they need them to replace Slaanesh feeding on theirs.

Watch this cronesword turn out to be something like Gorechild, Kharn’s axe-baby. Or that laer blade that just happen to have a demon sucked into it.

What happens if the wielder of the dawn blade kills a space marine? Is their original mortal life span added or their enhanced? What about an immortal like the emperor? Instant immortality?

Would love if the last cronesword was the leahea blade that slannessh had corrupted or the leahea had added the jewel with the demon in it

It's probably "big E".

Question, if the four fingers and thumb were used to forge the five Croneswords, what happened to the palm? I mean, we're talking about a goddess here, if it was possible to make god killing swords from her fingers, would they really let that go to waste? At minimum the should have been more than enough to forge a sixth sword....

That Tau sword is literally just the Lizardmen's Blade of Realities.

Is it confirmed that the god Morai Heg had 5 fingers, or is there a possibility of there being more than 5 swords?

Crazy idea, but what if the last crone sword was the blade of Antwyr

I know it's wishful thinking, but I'd love The Masque, or it's little baton...weapon...thing, to be the last one. Although I know squat about the lore (don't even have time to play the game, really), it'd make sense for the last Crone Sword to be in Slaanesh's claws.

Actually, I'd be willing to bet the last cronesword is forged into the death sword of khaine. The death sword is so big this could be easily accomplished.

Plot twist: the final Crone Sword is Alpharius himself.
