[@josevictorionunez9312]

You know, the Eldari Exodite is right. In times of war, we're all told as soldiers that we are fighting for something greater than ourselves our national pride, people our families, etc. And we are told that the end of the conflict will bring peace. However, it only sows the seeds of future conflict as War carries on, its less about ideals and more about survival.

[@Joetime90]

Aeldari are so arrogant I love it. "As simple as your belief system". 😅 But he is right. It was honestly one of the best dialogues in any 40k video.

[@louiscypher4186]

God damn Eldar are weirdos. With the speed of the Eldar he obviously could have moved and instead he just takes his mask off and accepts his "fate" of being punted into the webway. Also i would say RIP to that firewarrior be we all know she wont be that lucky.

[@Counterpoints]

Would have been hilarious to just jump out of the way and let her fly into the webway

[@MrNuclearturtle]

Suppose when you can live for hundreds if not thousands of years, your outlook on life would be different. I'd assume that Eldar was at least a millenium or more old, the things youd see and encounter in life would change your whole attitude, and he probably thought it was simply his time to go

You missed the part where those twins, one is dead and their soul fused to the knight. The living one is then less a pilot and more an emotional anchor to stop the dead soul from going insane.

Not a Knight. Actually a Mid sized Titan. Not the same weightclass.

[@oldeskul]

I loved the verbal exchange between the fire warrior and the exodite. The writing of this series is superb and beautifully displays the massive gulf in terms of philosophy between the Tau and the Aeldari. The animation, especially the facial animations are great.

They already encountered the Tyranids and it ended with the deployment of biological WMDs that took out enough of Hivefleet Gotham to force it to back off the Eastern Fringe.

[@SalammonAstartes-hr1qo]

I think one of the Caiphus Cain books implies that, that might happen plus pretty sure the Tau and Tyranids have met cause i remember about Commander Farsight (i think that was his name) buying a planets Earth Caste enough time to make a poison which a Tyranid fleet ingested resulting in its death

They ran into a splinter fleet that 'happened' to spec into having less synapse creatures allowing the tau to oh so swiftly eradicate their command structure. I dont think its ever mentioned how they dealt with the fuck off space swarm.

[@Dionysoshaman]

It's mind blowing how long it took for Warhammer to catch on outside of the game itself. I was really worried when I first learned of the shows, because I was fearful that the Grim Dark might get toned down to get a more family friendly nature which would NOT be z hammer to me. It's pretty exciting to see that they've been giving it a good go

[@Counterpoints]

Yeah, they’re implying pretty horrific fate for the Tau so I’m happy they’re not pulling punches

[@Dionysoshaman]

@@Counterpoints Hey I have a real quick question. I remember hearing you mention that you play Imperium factions but I'm not sure which ones that you play. I ask because I play Tyranids and Chaos daemons and I have been doing work on a Chaos Beastmen army (I just found out that kill team has said that they have some 40k Beastmen coming out really soon!) I'm also working on my Word bearers army for 30k, but back in the olden golden times I purchased a metal Steel legion squad that I planning on making chaos cultist a decade or two ago but it never came to fruition. Fast forward to recent days, if you would have any use in a guardsman or any imperium faction I'd be happy to send your way for free if interested. None are painted or assembled, I'd just be happy to know that someone could give them put to use

[@Dionysoshaman]

@@Counterpoints if you have any qualms as to what the catch is, then you my friend have nothing to worry about in this regard. I just came across them unexpectedly and I had completely forgotten about, and since I only recently found your videos it simply seemed like a correct move to make. No money for anything like that, just some random act at the perfect moment in time

[@Counterpoints]

@@Dionysoshaman unfortunately I’m “true scaling,” all of my infantry so I’m either buying the new range, 3rd Party models, or kitbashing them. I would check the discord linked below and there’s 40K channels in there I’m sure we could find them a safe and warm home.

[@TaigaShark-ij8oh]

The death jester that the commander encountered at commoragh may be the same guy she tried to captured. The harlequin did gave the ranger the death jester mask for his journey has not ended yet. This is just my speculation, maybe, The commander is taken for a tour guide as guest. How the commander handles will determine her fate.

[@Chapmitch]

The beginning was tense after the death riders were handled, the shas Frey was standing there like unsure of their mission, but in the end she would fly off to the next beacon by herself.

[@Counterpoints]

Seems like the Tau aren’t tenacious enough for the 40K universe but force themselves to go into battle for the greater good which is admirable in a way

Not even in their own show are the Tau not allowed to suck. Spent three episodes getting their shit pushed in. Blamed for a war they didn't start, their home world orbitally bombarded by the Imperium of Man, a planet worth of Tau dead, squad wiped without ever putting up a fight, (GG to that numb nut who was beaten to death by already wounded Krieg) failed to take down even one Imperial class Titan, forced to flee when the Eldar Titans show up, failed to kill or even wound the Exodite. This show made the Tau look like complete joke of as a species. OH - and hope the commander enjoys her stay in the Drukhari home world, no way she makes it out. At best the arena. At worst? Oh ho ho - she's in for a bad time if a particularly horny Drukahari wants to snu snu an avatar.

[@Dionysoshaman]

It's pretty awesome to see the scope of Warhammer on people that you'd never expect would.

The end is coming Honestly if I was writer for this episode or a future one . The beginnings and further extension of the eldar human alliance. To hold as much ground (important especially) as the dark time come ever ever more closer. The tyrannids continue forward The orks thansk to fighting the above have grown ever more strong thank you kryptman Chaos spreads like a disease incase of nurgal quite literally. The Tau (the ones from etherals side ) still trying to expand are more of a nuisance and distraction.

[@MrNuclearturtle]

@@btf1287 Tends to hide blurry textures, wonky rigging, weird animations or poor lighting in general. Astartes did that, but it was a passion project from one dude and no dialogue and it hid the limitations cleverly, the stiff movements showed a purposefulness to the Marines movements, you never saw a face moving as the camera was always postioned in a way to hide animating it (ie the marine vomiting didnt show the mouth in the frame of the camera) and it worked in the projects favour, theres no excuse really for iron warriors, a GW backed animation, everything thing feels like the characters fighting underwater......

Maybe because neither were actual Humans themselves, but seeing the Aeldari Exodite and said conflict end with going to Commuragh just all felt annoying to me. I didn’t know what to expect, but this episode was not pleasing to me.

[@Counterpoints]

They tried to shove way too many cool things into the episode instead of developing the assets and plot points they had.

[@Markis2bi4]

@@Counterpoints I would have actually liked it had the episode teased that vain hope of peace, before war actually broke out. Some human and alien interaction that wasn’t all bad. Tense, suspicious, and likely would end poorly as things do in WH40k, but if so it was with actual effort, and thwarted by active hands. If anything, the only reason the Exodite should have done anything was because neither Imperium nor Tau Empire realized the planet they were on was already inhabited. Then the Exoditez would have gotten away with their Ghost Titans. That may not be the better alternative, but it is my alternative. This just felt like the world’s longest power point presentation by a disgruntled space elf hippie, who’s mad that there are kids playing war on their lawn, then sending one of them to the crack den behind his house, before joining a cult of space Jokers.
