[@enoughothis]

"Wretched hive of scum and villiany" may be an overused line but in this case it's entirely appropriate, if somewhat lacking in descriptive scope. The Dark Eldar spawned Slaanesh more than ten thousand years ago and they've only gotten more depraved. No one in the Dark City is truly safe, NO ONE, not even Vect himself. The worst part of that is, they LIKE it that way. Always dancing on the knife's edge.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The backstabbing nature of the Dark Eldar comes as easy as breathing to them, and to be in the highest position of this cruel society one must be careful in every action they must take, because all it takes is one mistake and a eternality of torture and agony. One must remember that if one can prosper in the highest place of the court they become very richer rewarded, but the consequences of failure are massive.

Thanks again, because it's not yet another Imperium or especially not another space marine video.

[@Baldermort]

I know. I really do. I’d love to do more Eldar videos. But they kill the channel. And there are too many creators now so my slice gets ever smaller every day. If people supported non imperial videos I’d make loads. But they don’t. So I can’t. And arguments that I should do them anyways are silly. Because there would be no channel at all if I did. Because KZbin would ignore my channel after everyone else did. So I could release hundreds of Eldar videos. And nobody would see them. It is what it is.

[@Baldermort]

While undoubtedly entertaining, the DrewCarey are the only faction that doesn't really matter. Every other faction actually has a victory condition. The Tyranids want to consume, the T'au and Humans want to subjugate the galaxy, I wanted to use the term "DrewCarey". All clear objectives.

[@hamstermk4]

39:03 Cobras have terrible reaction and strike speeds when compared to other snakes and most mammals. They get by mostly on intimidation and the knowledge that they are quite venomous. The whole "Snake Charmer" routine is partially predicated on the fact that cobras just aren't that good at striking from an upright posture.

[@nachtmacher6237]

😊

[@TheNobodyspecific]

Hey Balders. Good content as per. The image you used for the figure on the right at 6:05 was AI generated (scrambled left hand, chain links not properly formed behind right hand and hip, chest detail blending into chest plating, belt sash missing central detailing, loincloth pattern malformed, etc.) I wonder if it slipped through the usual care you show in avoiding generative content? All the best.

[@Baldermort]

Bugger. Yep. I’m not totally against AI use. I just never use it in warhammer videos. My issue is that it’s difficult for me to tell the difference sometimes. Sigh. My error. I’ll try to be even more careful. That stuff is getting tougher. Apologies.
