Dude. YES!

[@sovietunion7643]

it would actually work pretty well as an 4 person extraction sort of shooter because you could have differing types of species work in the mercenary outfit. rouge trader forces in it for the money, inqusitorial forces striking a deal with the craftworld, tau mercenaries, dark eldar, eldar harlequins, even possibly ork blood axes would work as a great rag tag group of soliders going into hell itself for the dollar. honestly the more i think about it this honestly sounds way cooler than darktide if done correctly

GW needs to give Eldar a win in lore. They are so stagnant now that they totally ruined the Ynnari storyline. Just bc their motif is “dying race” doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get a real win that’s not just surviving. An Eldar book where the Eldar recover their version of an STL that gives them access to making new Craftworlds would be an amazing book and lore addition without breaking them as a faction.

[@pll3827]

In Dominion Genesis, one of the newer Mechanicus books, the goal of the main characters and their Eldar rivals was a Old Ones terraformer station that could terraform dead worlds into paradise planets. Unfortunately, the terraformer gets destroyed at the end of the book.

[@Jellyforge]

Hey I’m convinced a writer that liked the elder enough would definitely have them raid the fuck out of the dark princes realm

[@brickwall9781]

I bet Grey Knights could make easy work out of retrieving Spirit Stones from Crone Worlds. An easy side hustle that would be enormously profitable with the Eldar as the customer

[@danielboatright8887]

Explain it to them as hurting chaos, badly.

[@JohnJohn-r4l]

“It would fuck with chaos” “I’m in”

[@Pyre]

This is one of those things where, if the setting didn't require almost everyone to make the worst possible decision at all times, it should be happening already. This may be my bias for the Eldar and Grey Knights talking but seriously, everyone except Chaos wins.

[@robertnelson9599]

@@Pyre Another idea would be to have Blanks gather the soul stones. The Eldar would hate them, but they would be the best bet.

Majorkill you should take a look at Trench Crusade!

It's a Kickstarter right now, and there are a few recognizable Black Library authors that are part of this. Just wanted to bring it to your attention! Love the videos, and keep up the good work! 😊

DAY 78: A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions, this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces. Giving the traitors a boost in numbers and cohesion, plus a lot of important named characters. it would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the possible succes of the heresy.

[@Gudbjarten]

Nice video. Something interesting to think about is that it's only been like one eldar generation since The Fall...there are still living elder who remember the time before the fall...

That was an awesome and very nuanced take on the situation. Very much enjoyed it! Only thing I will say is that there are ALOT of Craftworlds. And some can be reclaimed. Just when you said “More than a dozen left” doesn’t really begin to cover it as there are a lot of Eldar left. But yeah, the Eldar aren’t really ‘dying’ but rather ‘losing’. Exodite Army When? 😭

GW really needs to make the Exodar a fully fledged faction of Eldar that is actually thriving. Space wood elves! Wraithwood tech and armor... genetically engineered dinosaurs as vehicles and mounts.... tree ships.... the shit writes itself GW come on

[@Avenging_Phoenix]

I think the Eldar just need a but of a soft reboot, and to get away from Gav Thorpes characterization. He writes them more like angsty teenagers than warriir seers, and the battles he puts them in feel to small for whats at stake. I think that Ynneads birth should have taken Slaanesh by surprise as it ripped open the chaos gods stomach, stole many souls, and potentially stirred the powers of the old Pantheon. Slaanesh could have driven Ynnead off, and become much more aggresive for awhile as she seeks revenge. Ynnead can reveal that it isnt strong enough yet, and that it needs allies. Eldrad and the Ynnari could then work with Robute as zealous allies as they search for ways to defeat chaos together. It seems like many fans want an alliance between the Eldar and Imperium, but GW wont let anything last as they wont let the Eldar utilize common sense. Theres always some petty, stupid betrayal that must happen because reasons.
