“What if you yourself was the thing getting in the ways of your goals?” Doug, this isn’t a hypothetical question.

[@TheBobcatlover]

I feel personally attacked 😂

[@dzelman444]

I just spit coffee everywhere.

[@hondamagna1983]

My, yes. Please continue.

[@2Tough]

same :D

[@earlbedfordjr83]

When am I not the thing getting in the ways of my goals?

[@NewGuy2534]

Tyrion and Teclis: Why are there so little Aevlen souls and why do the remaining hate us? Me: Have you read the End Times?

[@FarseerRK]

so few*

[@Jesplux]

Last time I was this early Teclis and Tyrion were on good terms with Sigmar

[@bishopcorney1352]

"What if you yourself were the thing that got in the way of your very own goals?" Didn't expect a deep cut not even a whole minute into the video. Simultaneously feeling called out and relatable to this army.

[@2Tough]

Hahah same ;)

[@RoccoYaBoy]

If “Well if it isn’t the consequences of my actions” was an army. Great video Doug! Keep up the great work 😍

[@2Tough]

#Tooreal ;)

[@parkla4098]

“What if you yourself was the very thing that got in the way of your goals?” Damn Doug. Too real! Too real!! I have to call my therapist now.

[@baphometsvomitcomet2350]

The thing that I like most about all the aelves in AoS is that each one is a metaphor for recovering from/coping with trauma in a different, dysfunctional way. Idoneth dissociate and isolate. The Daughters of Khaine embrace the parts of themselves that they consider monstrous because of what they went through with Slaanesh, why being very hostile towards anyone offering help. And the Lumineth become addicts, hit rock bottom, and half-heartedly try to rebuild by discovering spirituality.

[@KOAHUNT3R]

I wonder if Sigmar knew about the capturing and harvesting of Slaanesh? I mean he must've known something was up when the Aelf gods couldn't find any Aelves, and the suddenly their realms were just covered with them lol.

[@xanadu7686]

I would imagine he would have supported it, what with it taking out a chaos good for the foreseeable future. And I f anything Tyrion and Teclis re-creating the Aelves from the soul matter was probably an inspiration for the stormcast when Sigmar decided to try it much later on.

[@ImperialLegionTV]

I believe Sigmar definitely knew and didn't seem to really care. Sigmar allies with the other Gods of the Mortal Realms out of necessity more than anything...and he's a bit of a "xenophobe" and Human supremacist like the Emperor from 40k lol. Just look at the Stormcast, even Aelf and Duardin souls are re-forged into Human bodies.

[@2Tough]

I cannot remember where I read it, but my understanding is that Sigmar has no idea about the capturing of slaanesh

[@xavierc7352]

@@ImperialLegionTV Sigmar is not a "xenophobe" or Human supremacist, in fact, he is anti-racist. and we don't have any lore on Aelf and Duardin souls be reforged.

[@harmonlanager2670]

@@ImperialLegionTV Id say he’s pretty anti-racist. The Free Peoples are pretty much one of the best examples of a multi-cultural utopia

[@luminethmage9361]

Great, was really looking forward to this week. I really like what they did with the Lumineth, using the Warhammer Elf/Eldar lore (and pretty much most other elf fantasy) as the starting point, not the end, giving it a more positive, optimistic note, as you say. And all the new elements (pun?) to their culture that GW gave them are really interesting, but don’t make the Lumineth totally different from the HE. I think their fluff brings something new to the setting, which is not only interesting for Lumineth fanboys like myself.

[@michaelblower7363]

I kinda like that about Age of Sigmar in general. The shit has already hit the fan, bad things have happened and now we're starting to see everyone pick up the pieces and fight back.

[@ItinerantJedi]

Just discovered your channel through a search for Lumineth lore and saw this mentioned in Reddit. First video so far...I love the delivery and way you share the lore. Can't believe there are so few views here given the quality and niche of this stuff. Thank you!!

[@cameron2448]

"What if you were the thing getting in your very way" My brain: Hey that's us!

[@seanclarke8015]

Typical Elgi really, too arrogant for their own good.

[@SaturmornCarvilli]

Pshaw, that's just grumpy, dour dawi talk.

[@FarseerRK]

yep such a boring cliche

[@CBRN-115]

Even after their original world ended by their failiures, they still don't learn

[@311GreatSage]

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this, love the channel man - keep up the good work, your videos get me through painting sessions

[@joshhafemeister1665]

Been diving into LRL lore. Your work is greatly appreciated, thank you sir!

[@stuartmortimer6791]

This is great. The story is captivating of the Aelves before their rise as the Lumineth. Stunning lore video Doug. Much love

[@2Tough]

Many thanks!

[@minacapella8319]

"A people without hubris and strife" lol this is teclis and tyrion we are talking about

[@hughgedney3393]

A very extremely awesome video as always Doug.

[@beardhammerwargaming]

And so it begins!!!

[@kenhouston814]

I've been looking forward to and dreading this video lol. The first part because I love your content and approach. The second part because you always get me excited for armies you talk about even if I never really cared for them in the past (ie Nurgle) and a already like the sounds of this army, but said I'd hold out until Tyrion's half appear, or the wood elves proxy appears

[@2Tough]

Super fair, I cant wait to see the Tyrion half as well!

[@kenhouston814]

Although this lore almost makes it seem like Lumineth are strictly Teclisian, and the Tyrionic Aelves will be their own faction

[@prophetnathan1989]

Great content 👌 thanks for uploading

[@anthonyhanner6609]

I always enjoy how relevant such stories are to our own history or human nature. As always great presentation. You are the one before there was ever a one! KV

Wow, thank you!

I felt this haha

[@juandougnac8826]

Thanks for your videos! :D They're great accompaniment for when I'm drawing ^_^

[@Engra_]

Great video as always. What is the music in this? It suited it beautifully.

[@kimhansen8615]

Wow - A brand new Lore telling. Must listen...

[@nunom1351]

Gods dingit. This is really good lore. And the first deep dive into Hysh. And maps!!! Dammit Doug, now Im going to have to buy this book ;) :P ehehe

[@2Tough]

deeeeeew it!!! ;)

[@torrentstridestudios6928]

Am I the only person super annoyed and tired of this narrative for Elves? "Yet again, elves are INHERENTLY assholes and get punished for it..." why do they ALWAYS have to be arrogant and vain? Why is this the only narrative we ever get for them???

[@restorationofidentity]

I totally agree the high elves don't have to be this all arrogant selfish race. They are suppose to be a race of highly enlightened beings. Who are in Constant contact with the divine. It's stupid how we got write them off as similar to how we humans are. It's anthropological appearance.. I love the high elves. The pinnical of life.

[@jakea3950]

Hmm sounds like they took that right out of the Eldar playbook.

[@slimjimman96]

I love high elves 🧝🏻 🧝🏻‍♂️ 🧝🏻‍♀️ in a fantasy setting!!. Next do their battletome!!.

[@TheDestroyerOfHumans]

When the Cities of Sigmar was announced I assumed the old High Elf modles would be included within this army and they weren't. When the Lumineth were hinted at I guess they would be apart of them and when shown the modles they weren't. I even looked back and saw that Eldritch Councel nor any Old High elf units had no Battletrait nor Battalions apart from the first few ORDER books. When the Lumineth were shown to be lead by Teclis the most imidiate thought was who follow Tyrion then? From what you just described it sound like the Aelf who follow Tyrion or any who were on the outskirts of the realm could be the Eldritch Council as well as the Old modles. We all have no idea what Warhammer is planning with them if anything at all. But it would be cool to see both the old Highelfs and Lumineth together, battle hardened warriors with magical ones. Kinda like the Orruk Warclans you could have the 2 different armys with their own battletraits,sub-factions and artifacts but then a Huge Sub-faction of both Teclis and Tyrion working together on a common enemy. It would be a shame if they ignored them completly.

[@MakinaMakinaMakina]

Likewise how we haven’t got or seen Malerions faction too!

dooooo it ;)

@@2Tough NO! It cannot be! *calls local warhammer store to check availability* My wife is gonna hate me.

[@donaldkelly9833]

Do we think that the Absentee moment from Teclis (leaving him unable to mitigate the Spire Fall) is the reason for a lack of generic heroes in the Battletome? Perhaps nobody outside of a strict group of tested individuals is seen as restrained enough to lead without those prideful outbursts?

[@InquisitorThomas]

Wait there are no generic hero options? How does that even work? Do Teclis or Eltharion’s Ashes lead every Realm Lord Army?

[@donaldkelly9833]

@@InquisitorThomas there is the generic Stone Mage and then the Veiled Lady whose elf name escapes me. There is also a non-named version of the Cow Giant but the classic Lord, Prince, or similar generic figures are MIA for now. It seems like there is room for them later but the new Hero Creator in GHB is going to get a lot of mileage for generic elf heroes.

[@rocco3884]

​@@donaldkelly9833 cow giant non named version isn't a general but a behemoth/monster so only the cathelar(veil lady) and stonemage can be generic generals, i assume when more units eventually fill out the line with the other aelmentari is when we will get more generics maybe in a few years same with tyrions side of the faction i bet then we get some type of mounted generic general unit, also with the hero creator i think some interesting options could come out of kitbashing some of the unit heros/light of eltharions

[@donaldkelly9833]

@@rocco3884 I don't explicitly mean Generals, I am more interested in generic support heroes so indeed the creator seems like an interesting place to make those supplemental characters hunters or buff-applying nobility.

[@2Tough]

Possibly! I think of this as Teclis' personal guard rather than a normal army

[@thashadowspawn]

They’re only Aelf.

[@bobafett7123]

Best faction in AoS I have a question are all the gods of AOS equals for the most part? Like Teclis and Tyrion if they decided that they had beef with Sigmar could they make him worried?

what books is this from. id love to hear more.

The newly released minis are just not doing it. Freaking ungodly bull horns only a war bozz would be envy of. Hopefully the old world will bring some normality back to warhammer

[@GecktronLP]

> Hopefully the old world will bring some normality back to warhammer Thats a meme, people are focusing too much on the few "gritty" bits that they forget all the crazy of Fantasy. Lumineth arent much more fantastical than high elves. Just look at the Phoenix Guard or the old noble Kit, High Elves always had abnormaly large helmets.

[@rocco3884]

@@GecktronLP High elves have mastered the trait of balancing large things on their head its a racial trait

[@FarseerRK]

I agree. I was so excited when they teased the knights and spears and eltharion. Then a bit meh with the archers and teclis and then wtf with the cows. very disapointed

[@skywatcheradept]

@@GecktronLP They should remake the High Elves the way they did with Gloomspite Gitz or Hedonites of Slaanesh - where the new models seem to naturally grow out of the older aesthetic. Changing High Elves into Battle Cattle is terrible. Some elements just don't go well together. Imagine sneaky ninja Dwarfs: the Lumineth are the same thing for Elves. Awkward and out of place.

[@Tartersauce101]

My least favorite lore. Some 'light/good' version of warpstone. Which leads to the most cliche ending, done a hundred times the least of which isn't Warcraft! Seriously it's waaaay too similar to Night Elves, not to mention their evil serpentine relatives the Naga. Furthermore, you have BOTH new flavors of Dwarf also having some special realm specific substance that they become obsessed with and reliant upon. It's a triple serving of derivative. Then, looking past the stale unoriginal origin and setting, we have them...worshipping cows/bulls and...some kind of mountain gods? Seriously bizarre and un Elven imagery.
