Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
The question I'd like you to propose and explain, Australian Ken'ee 2.0, is exactly what would happen if the Emperor (big guy, sits on a fancy thermonuclear throne, fetish for gold, talks through text-to-voice like the professor with a serious attitude problem, sh*ts warp storms when upset; I believe you two are drinking buddies?) Got his bony ar*e off the throne, regrew his flesh and blood, restores the golden throne mechanism to full normal function with a few well-placed thoughts and and walks out of the throne room but-naked with it banging off both knees to see the mess that has been made of Terra in his absence! Next...? As for his reaction: I think I'll go with 52 - 53% cold fury! How about you, Ken'ee?
Very interesting thoughts in this video. Two things can you do a video on T'au ethereal Aun Shi. Also I am looking to email you from my new company email so I can see if I can afford to sponsor you as a RU-vid sponsor
Yes when the emperor punched nurgle in the nose with attendant primarch who have given isha the chance to escape with the farseers ready to act on this chance. But then does there become something of her return.
the loyalists 2 loyalist primarchs and eldar with support of the eldar go on a quest to get the last crone swords and then meet up with russ to get isha and it becomes a nice little quest story with them triumphing over their enemies with the emperor omegon and the eldar pantheon supporting them and the other chaos gods also help their kin a little but each time they can't find them and meet up with trazyn since he is quite the historian and hoarder artifacts and opposed to chaos he doesn't know what is happening but someone hears them and soon after they have a gift exchange they didn't ask for where they got clonegrim isha and the cronesword while the armour of fate went to the blood ravens armour collection alongside the grey knight and custodes ones
Ynnead about to beat Slaanesh: We Sleep. Teclis, Tyrion and Malerion captured Slaanesh and imprisoned the Dark Prince with a seal: *I CALL RIDICULOUS!*
@@jefferinno haven't you heard? so - Slaanesh after The End of The World, got fat on elvish souls. So they caught him/her. And then, they....removed elven souls from Slaanesh'es stomach and brought them back to life in Mortal Realms. Meanwhile The Horned Rat (god of skaven) took the role of the 4th god.
@@TwojaStaraIFrytki But whatever souls she got from the end times would be less than a destroyed craftworld why is she even bloated. Isn't she is supposed to be multiversal why is she so weak when the excess and souls devoured from 40k galaxy alone would have allowed her to stomp all of them easily.
Slaanesh didn’t even need to be defeated. The awakening of Ynnead could’ve been potentially not be a perfect win. Could’ve been interesting if Ynnead could only save the current eldar if they died and only if slaanesh is defeated then all eldar could be saved. This could allow not a crazy shake up but a way for new ideas to be safe in the canon. Also imagine a ynarri specific unit of eldar kamikaze soldiers that when they die buff the yncarne.
There’s no way so random Eldar could just walk into slaanesh palace, but they could totally write an arc where someone somehow finds their way there against all odds, but it turns out it’s a plot from Tzeentch just to screw with Slaanesh. The troll bird could definitely sneak someone into the palace. Plus then like you said doesn’t have to mean President Sodomy just dies, could just be a new arc with Ynarri Vs Slaanesh
Even if the eldar souls were saved, slaanesh could survive via it’s other followers and rampant excess in 40k. Problem is it makes Aeldari less grimdark.
Heck, an Awoken Ynnead could actually be the best thing to happen for Slaanesh, because what happens when you cut off the goddess of addiction from her free lifetime supply of Eldar souls? Now you have an angry Slaanesh who needs to personally hunt for the souls she craves, a new Eldar god for her to obsess over, the biggest new high to chase.
I like the idea that the demon lied about the crone swords whereabouts and it actually being in the possession of Lucius the eternal. It would make sense as the safest place to keep something would be with the immortal guy who just respawns with all his gear when he dies. Plus it would mean they could develop Lucius more which would be nice.
Hell, they could ret-con it so that it isn't Slaanesh who gave him the power to resurrect, but the sword. And thus, the sword would also be needed to resurrect (or rather give full life) to Ynnead, tying it all neatly together.
@@The_Keeper it would also mean Lucius being the target of an entire faction. Forcing him to run across the galaxy in a desperate attempt to escape the Ynnari and their allies. Hell, he could even have some character development, as he deals with finally having an actual fear of death, and coming to terms with facing his possible demise. He could then start questioning everything he used to believe in. All of that finally culminating in a final confrontation with Yvraine, the champion of Ynnead. Whatever happens then, is up to the writer.
Or perhaps in the Necron Library? Doesn't even need to necessarily consider the demon that said it WAS in Pleasure Palace, could just be that Trazyn got hold of it from there, and nobody noticed yet.
Can we talk about how Yriel woke up his Spear, turned it unto a sword in a pragmatic event that shifted the whole narrative IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST NEW ELDAR MODELS IN 10 YEARS and we didn't get a new yriel with a sword instead of a spear
Strong argument for why the Ynnead awakening would be good. Return of silent king, hive mind is apparently going for the heart of the galaxy, the warp is invading the real space, eldar really need that new God
Could make a new setting called like warhammer 50k. All the factions in 40k but the eldar killed sslanesh and got their pop back, humanity re gained or remade the big e and in their desperation allowed ai again so their tech is back to 20k levels, the necrons wake up in full, the orks are rorks again, the nids arrive in full, chaos gods managed to un do the split between galaxies made by the necrons so long ago, the tau get more tech again and figure out that they can just point the orks and nids at a better planet to make them fuck off
I wonder if GW is looking to give 40K the AoS treatment and give every faction their own deity. They started acknowledging The Emperor as a divine entity, introduced Tau'va, and set up the Eldar for a new deity all around the same time. Although, it's also likely GW will be too afraid to pull the trigger on that since it would mean giving xenos the spotlight for a minute
@@arandomthingintheabyss2062The Tau god that came together after so many psychically-present species started following The Greater Good, called "Tau'va" in Tau speak. So the Tau themselves didn't create this god, but instead their vassal species did. This god is the embodiment of The Greater Good.
Ynnead wakes: “I am become Death, destroyer of worlds.” Khorne: “I like this one, I’ma help him out.” Nurgle: “He can have what fails my pretty plagues.” Tzeentch: “Hey, Slaanesh, ready for this change? 😂” Slaanesh: “…I hate you guys.”
*one epic, warp-shaking battle later, an exhausted but triumphant Ynnead tries to catch his breath…and is decapitated by Khorne, incinerated by Tzeentch and his ashes are scattered over Nurgle’s garden…and then it turns out Slaanesh was just playing dead.* *Because Grimdark*
@@minuette1752 and i dont understand why you dont want ynnead walking around, it develops the setting into something fresh and interesting. slaanesh is well trodden ground and if she dies itll shake up the world alot more.
Getting a video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to and ruled their own imperium as Guilliman did would be pretty interesting ngl
Your video on how to unfuck the Eldar lore was really good and sounded epic. I'm a space marine player, but have always liked the Eldar models and their lore. They've been needing some love for a decade now. I hope GW starts showing them some respect real fucking soon.
GW is so "great" at writing lore for every other faction except the Eldar. In almost every book and game I've played that had Eldar in it, it really just comes down to the Eldar just getting absolutely wrecked by the main protagonist or some other antagonist. It's like they don't even stand a chance, and it's goddamn infuriating sometimes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the wall to be executed by the regimental Commisar for liking xenos.
I think It would be cool if Ynnead didn't kill or weaken slaanessh, but freed the eldar pantheon and making every soul of eldar a battle with Slaannesh. Giving more hope to the Eldar. I still want them to thematically be similar, but change perspective slightly. The Dark Eldar still need to be slavers and brutal, but more selective about it influencing the newly released Eldar deities to being twisted versions of themselves. While the Craftworlders seek to colonize planets where the Maiden worlds and their ideology and sense of who they are is making the Eldar Deities more like their previous selves so the deities are slightly schizophrenic
One way GW could continue the Ynnari/Ynnead lore is have the Ynnari attempt the ritual without all the crone swords, which does awaken Ynnead, but in kind of a premature birth sort of way. Ynnead is still strong, but needs some time to grow and develop its strength by absorbing dying Eldar instead of Slaneesh. This allows the plot to advance and Ynnead to live up to the anti-Slaneesh idea while not totally flipping the setting on its head
Superb video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions, etc?
I honestly think Ynnead could've been a great thing to shake up the setting and put a focus on the Eldar. Most Crackworld Eldar might not try to mess with the imperium too much. Most probably continuing the constant struggle against Chaos, Tyrannids, and the Necrons. However, Biel-tan could totally become a huge threat to the imperium with their newfound intent to conquer imperial worlds and restore the Eldar to their former glory as an empire. Man versus Eldar could've be an interesting dilema. I would imagine Dark Eldar would still go around torturing people by the billions even if they no longer need to. It's probably beleivable that they've done it for so long it just became tradition and something to do for fun rather than necessity. I still think it's possible. The last chromesword can't be accessed by Eldar currently, but someone else could if they wanted to. Such as an agent of titsnitch or Fabius Bile for the funny.
They absolutely would. The Dark Eldar were literally the remnants of the og Eldar that brought Slaanesh into existence in the first place, so it's implied that they were doing that shit before Slaanesh was even a thing.
Lore: Eldar are dying, The necrons feel like doing shit again, The Imperium is stagnant, and everybody else is on the rise because of course they are. Tabletop: Eldar are the most comically dominant faction of the current meta and don’t feel like getting nerfed correctly, Necrons sometimes never die, The imperium is partly middling and partly hellblasters shooting on death and then standing back up after death, and everybody else is weaker than they previously were because of course they are.
So fun little fact most people overlook. Ynnead is a twin sibling to slaanesh. Slaanesh was born of the excess of the eldar and killed trillions with his birth. That birth immediately caused Ynnead to exist a moment afterwards. Ynnead is at least equivalent to peak slaanesh. Essentially the ynnari would just be a faction no bigger than the emperor's children but for the eldar. Gw fucked up big time with missing out on this.
Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
Hey bud! I wanted to say I bought 3 of your mins (Krork, Swarm Lord, and 3 warriors) all them are phenomenal!! Imma order to support your stuff bud!! Cheers homie!
Attempted Number 3: What if the Primarchs where found in the order of their creation. So the Lion was first and Horus was nearly last. I think that could change quite a bit, don't you think?
What would happen if the eldar could rescue Isha from nurgle? With the Emperor burning his garden down, it seems they have a better shot of doing so than before.
Slight spoiler funny you mentioned that… the eldar have tried before (if my memory serves me correct) and completely failed, with nurgle turning them into trees
I think i came up with the most batshit insane ynnari book series ever. The ynnari is split into four groups to acomplice something to save the eldar. One group would retry the attempt to save isha from nurgle with the help of the gegorath and the harlequins One group will go and evacuate commorragh which is slowly getting destroyed by daemons because of the great rift while finding dhukari "worth saving" One group lead by eldrad will go and collect as many shards of khaine as possible while being chased by a united night lords army led by decimus. And the last group will strike a bargain with khorne to send his daemon and world eater warbands with the help of the king in yellow and his army to break into slaanesh palace to take the key. I might have taken things a bit to far but what do you think?
It would be interesting if the more occult subfaction of Imperium with connection to either King in Yellow's dominion, Star Child's sphere of influence or any other Emperor fragments' active moving circuits in The Warp to able to resist and temporarily worked together with chaos daemon groups and warbands to fight another, with the risks of these Warp-based subfactions'can be permanently killed in trying to achieving their goals I think The Warp able to bring daemons back to life all while most of realspace-oriented factions can't get regenerative powers like that perpetually is unfair yet stupidly written, just like Lucius, Erebus and other scumbags still lives in 40th Millennium settings or how Magnus still being major pushover, or even Khaine's avatars still being even bigger pushover, or how this could pieces more lore to make Ynnead a significant thing to emerge as new competing factions and refreshed the entire tabletop factions' and subfactions' dynamics, readjusting and balancing it for more players to join in and play the tabletop game systems But that would require good planning and management, Idk if GW even have that level of initiative and enthusiasm to shakes up and improve further the settings to make their "End Times" even smoother tbh
Your passion for the eldar is well received. It’s not some fan boys wish n dream, but a look into an interesting aspect of 40k with loads of potential. While watching, I wondered if the dark eldar that joined their god death would continue being pirates pillaging worlds to be killed in their new lords name, to feed it more death.
Bringing in an Eldar death godess would be similar to GW confirming that the Emperor has a God-like aspect in the warp. He would sort of be the human God of death but also of Imperial hope. I know they tried to do a similar thing with some gestating Tau God which protected part of a fleet trapped in the warp. I think Ynnead wouldn't russle up the setting too much and actually work to simplify a few things for Eldar afterlife which is a crazy topic. I think her birth can also be 'simulated' in a way, not by killing all the Eldar but by every Eldar in the galaxy entering the Webway or some Necron analog for a time. This way the material world would miss the psychic presence of so many beings that this creates a reaction that drains some power from Slaanesh into Ynnead, who according to warp lore already exists and has always existed because it is created in the future. This wouldnt kill Slaanesh because there are still billions or trillions of other souls who can be tempted towards excess and feed her unwittingly. But upon the reaction starting through basically tricking the material realm into thinking all the Eldar are actually dead by hiding them in the webway or Necron analog which then tricks the warp, the Eldar can then release all their Craftworld Infinity Circuits souls and the world spirits. This would work to turn Ynneads creation into a runaway reaction and complete the birthing process possibly calming the warp storms and great rift. This would again simplify things by bring Imperium Nihilus back into the fold allowing them to once again see the Astronimicon and in turn lead to unimpeded warp travel just lile after the birth of Slaanesh.
We still have resin kits? Oh Jesus! I’ve really grown to appreciate the eldar over the years. There is so much here. I see your understanding of the lord and would love to see what you could do to salvage Thorpes miscomings
Guy Hayley was probably supervised by Geedubs on the Ynnari trilogy, but he could do it if left alone imo. He wrote _Dark Imperium_ and _Genefatehr_ after all. ;/
If Ynnead is hyper focused on fighting Slaneesh specifically, I can see other Chaos Gods helping them out in order to weaken Slaneesh, a rival of theirs.
While I like the Ynnari Lore, I just dont understand why GW had to make up a new god to begin with? We got Khaine, Isha and Cegorach who are all perfectly useful to get the Plot going, without making new stuff up. - Cegorach is actually free - he just needs to do something. - Khaine: is free but splintered --- maybe just unsplinter all the Avatars, roam around the Galaxy do stuff, and then have a perfectly fine God of War available? I would say at least Khorne would approve of this. - Isha: Is literally just trapped, and nothing happend here. If GW would just make some attempt to free her, it would ruin nothing on Nurgles side (He didnt do anything besides testing diseases on her) and her being now back in the setting would not get anybody killed, because as the goddess of healing "low fighting power" could be easily explained. (I actually wrote a fan fiction about the last scenario from a group of Eldar, that achieved this, because Tzentch helped them, because he really hates Nurgle)
Ynnead would most likely eat Slaanesh and their power but keeping Slaanesh themself alive in him, basically keeping them in stasis and in constant pain (and pleasure)
Probably nothing change...oter than the Eldar get hope. The souls slanesh consumed its done. So probably get her and Isha so they can generate new eldars maybe.
"Dark Eldar could roam real space without restrictions." Yeah nevermind stay irrelevant Ynnead. Day 323 of requesting a Commissar Yarrick Major Mini pls and thank you.
I think it would hurt the Prince of Pleasure, but it wouldn't wipe him out. He's been around drinking souls for far too long. The Eldar have been dwindling for thousands of years now. So it would likely take quite a while for the Eldar Gods to regain some kind of power to challenge the Chaos Gods. You also have to consider if any of the Chaos gods might jump in on Slaanesh's side or against her.
Male eldar great again! And my Necron suporting side wishes a new catan lile a fragment that survived the consumtion of each other during the war in heaven or new nightbringer and deciefer models
👍👍 I feel like the Eldar will have their turn next edition, after the Krorkening. Khaine, Isha, Cegorach and even Ynnead do all seem to exist in one form or another so I would argue that there is potential for at least a partial restoration of the old eldar pantheon, possibly even in a way which prevents future eldar souls from being delivered to Slaanesh. I reckon bringing all of the Craftworlds together for a big webway block party at the Eternity Matrix couldn't hurt too! It might even present a tempting enough target for Slaanesh to momentarily turn their back to that last Cronesword 🤷🏼♀️😃
Perhaps one of Slaanesh’s minions steals the crone sword and ends up losing it to someone or to something which now gives the Eldar a chance to retrieve it. Maybe it ends up in a sector that’s overrun by Orks or Necrons. Or maybe even ends up in Trazyn’s collection.
The Ynnari lore could have been such a great addition for mroe diversity in factions. I was praying to get demon eldars after ynnead replacing slaanesh after a huge beating.
Yes RU-vid, this is a video about World of Warcraft by Majorkill, discussing the very real character in the lore, Ynnead. The AELDARI god of the death, or something. The Emperor Protects.
Kaldor Draigo (maybe Russ could lend a hand too) could probably get the MacGuffin from Slaanesh's palace and give it to the Eldar for shits and giggles. And copious amounts of warpdust. That's probably more of a TTS plotline though
Eldar need to evolve as a faction more than anything. They been stuck as the doomed space elf faction for 40 years now. GW should introduce a new side faction of Eldar empowered by Ynnead. Reverse Necrons. Every Wraith type unit is now "alive and conscious" with their souls intact. So you have death cults made up of wraith units who want want to bring the rest of eldar to their side. By murdering them. Its grim its dark. Come on gw!
If Ynnead is able to bring back the Eldar's ability to resurrect then it would be a huge boon as it would allow the Eldar to attack more boldly and recklessly like the Tyrannids because any that die will just be resurrected by Ynnead and thus every battle will be a net-zero loss in lives.
I need someone to do an animatic treatment of Majorkill's idea for the Ynnari. Or *something* . Also, the lore implication *seems* to be that Ynnead, being a god of death, is a hard counter to Slaanesh. Not just a powerful deity, but their exact opposite: an unchanging static state of rest compared to limitless and varied sensation. If accurate, this would also make them lethal to the rest of the Chaos Gods, to a lesser degree. Either way, the Ynnari deserve better.
@@TheShadowForgeStudioHe does, but Ynnead doesn't inherently have any 'rebirth' aspect aside from "He'll totally gather up all our souls and put us back and everything will be okay. We think." Nurgle is a god of life, of the fact that nothing is ever *truly* lost, just changed into different forms. Hence the endless suffering. Ynnead is...basically the concept of endings, with some control over the back and forth of those endings if Yvraine's powers are any indication.
I have a question about Ynead's Resurrection Powers When doods die, their Souls goes to the Warp and is now getting ripped apart in the by the denizens of the said Warp regardless of how powerful they are So when they do get rez'd, they never really come back right? ( Like the Girl on Lorgar's Goons Squad ) So if Ynead's awoke and start rez'ing the his homies who were on the longer end of the respawn timer, wouldn't he be creating Army of Pyskic Blood Raged-esque Eldars?
Make an Imperial Hero claim the final chromesword, Ynarri wakes, but don't kill Slaneesh. Then make the Eldari realise that Ynarri is kind of a piece of shit as he wants to consume their souls for his fight against Slaneesh. Then balance it by the Necrons and Imperium defeat Hive Fleet Leviathan (so we wait until the next hive fleet arrives) then the Drukhari and Necrons fight for like 10 years irl. So they both weaken a shit ton so it's all balanced.
Wait a minute: to awaken Ynnead the Eldar need to sacrifice a source of power. Jaghatai Khan is a Primarch and Primarchs have extremely powerful souls. And Jaghatai is being kept by either the Dark Eldar or Ceogorach. I hate to say it but it’s not looking so good for Jaghatai.
The eldar just need to hire a merc. Not Sly Marbo, though. They need to hire that little girl who breached Tzeentch's house. Which isn't even supposed to be possible. So if anybody could waltz in and take the sword, she could.
I do find the pessimism if they awake the death god to be inconcistent a bit with the other videos. You mentioed that slanesh took on the entire eldar pantheon but one hid, the other was taken by nurgle and you mentioned in another of your videos that Khaine fought Slanesh to a standstill in a nerfed state due to lack of worship and the eldar being consumed. If the eldar did reincarnate due ro a bigger claim on souls, wouldnt the eldar now worship their pantheon again? Since their society would still be in ruin. Which would super charge their gods again. I also noticed that the three first evils having a lore connections with diablo and DC/constantine comics. Where there are three great evils. Maybe it would draw on that and Slanesh would be wiped out. I also dont see Slanesh being as big of a player in the great game compared to the other three. Although i do think that the Eldar death god would need to obtain worship from more than just its subfaction.
We might have gotten to see at least one possible scenario had GW not gone full retard with their "no tolerance for fan made content policy," which resulted in Warhammer 40k TTS' eternal hiatus.
Ynnead's design screams "Actually a greater demon of Slaanesh" to me. I think it might actually be a cool direction to take it in if the Ynnead was actually a demon of Slaanesh the whole time that feeds off the hope of the eldar, so it sparks hope just as it corrupts them. Then they introduce a new faction of Slaanesh cultists that are elves who believed in the Ynnead and are still gaslit into it while they fall from grace. But then the light in the darkness - Ynnead, similar to a Slaaneshi Skarbrand, gets too full of themselves and does [PLOT MCGUFFIN] to sever Slaanesh's hold on the Eldar's souls.
Also, if Ynnead wake up, every eldars psykers would become much MUCH stronger because it would lift Slannesh curse on their souls. Thus, the eldars would become a real opponant for the Imperium, Tyrannids, orks, etc., without being broken.
Let's be honest here: A lot of things could be fixed lore/story-wise and be a lot more interesting, if it wasn't for GW being so hellbent on being grimdark for the sake of it and because keeping the status quo means endless money from small plastic figurine addicts, and also likely being unwilling to just try to actually fix things instead of just burying it because "no, it is the children/players that are wrong".
here's an idea. let the Nids eat The Yncarnate. and super juice their Hive Mind with Eldar God Power. and maybe the Ynnari sucks down a bunch of Tyrannid souls to power itself.
A video about how each Primarch met their legions for the first time would be dope on a rope. And to keep carrying the torch... How would each Primarch recat to waking up instead of Robute.
Surely the God of DEATH would take claim of the Aeldari souls; both consumed and remaining. Even it the former was just over time; that would still be a piece to leave the board.
I just want GW to do SOMETHING with the Eldar, anything that actually makes their plot progress, the current lore is so boring, give us phoenix lords, give us Ynnari, make the Khaine shards actually competently used.
I wonder if the Ynnari could capture and sacrifice humans in order to power up and awaken Ynnead. After all, they have a bunch of dark eldar with them and sacrificing the monkais for a chance of the Eldars regaining their galactic power seems very in line with Eldars Edit: if GW does do this, it could be the background conflict behind 11th edition
