hi pancreas just want to say that you are my new favorite Warhammer content creator.

[@TheArklyte]

Ah yes, Wraithguards and Wraithblades, the most interesting Eldar units. What's so interesting? Two things: 1)eldar claim to be a dying race, but they send their teens to die in meat waves as guardians so that already dead can have a few more hours in their VR simulation. These guys actually go to fight to save the future of their race; 2)they're eldar supersoldiers. Technically they're giant robots being driven by mind upload, but they're infantry so yeah, they count. Why is that important? Supersoldiers are unique qaulity of humanity in 40k. Eldar and orks don't design better being, they're naturally so far above us that all they need is to train and become older. Tau, necrons and leagues just bypass the idea with diversified equipment. But humans? Humans looked at eldar speed and ork strength and thought, "yeah, we should create a massive dude who can barely be able to fight those in a fair fight". And we did for some reason. It wasn't a greatest idea and we were the only one dumb enough to try, but here we are... And these guys are de facto filling that role for eldar. So yeah, love them, the only eldar units that make sense, are cool in lore and hope we've seen more of them.

Knowing 40k, it will end like this. Fake Baldermort's voice: The defiant, melta-armed Dreadnought melted the Wraithknight's hand, so the throw went wide. The dreadnought crashed into 666 orks instead, before hitting a Leman Russ whose hull and crewed survived due to rugged Imperial design. Both Tallarn and Armageddon tank commanders said "Da fuh" at the sight, for different reasons. The Raven Guard Thunderhawk had to fly back its wounded before assisting the other Raven Guard in evacuating the guardsmen. The captain was subsequently sent to the Deathwatch as an exile for more focusing on fighting enemy champions instead of leading. The Wraithknight ultimately went down to an Ork bike ramming straight at it. Yet the eldar at many sectors had baited orks into withering ambushes. The autarchs mourned the losses yet took heed at their moderate casualties to secure the last webway gate and retake the Ork-taken, then Imperial-conquered Exodite World.

For me this is the most tragic aspect of the eldar. They'll NEVER find rest. Being a craftworlder is like having to protect an urn for every single person of your family tree for the rest of your life, knowing that one fuck up means your granny or your father is going to eternal hell. Imagine the torture of living this life, imagine the stress of knowing that this also is your fate once you die, to be eternaly dependant of another person to take care of your helpless soul until the death of the universe.

[@igncom1]

If they were meant to rest, the Old Ones would have built that into them. Nah, they are just fancy Orks, rampant bio-weapons that never got the turn off code.

[@gunterthekaiser6190]

While true, it also allows those urns to be fairly safe in 30k standard. Most humans get devoured by some daemon or get sucked in by big E in the warp. At least soulstones/infinity circuits allow some level of peace away from danger. Plus, you can always talk to your dead grandpa if you are inclined. Or, as the dead grandpa, you can say "get the f*ck off my lawn" to anyone who enters your house.

Aeldari Wraiths are such an underrated gem in the Warhammer lore.

2 minor corrections. The spirit seer does not need the wraith unit to HAVE lethal hits to give the unit +1 to hit. It gives the unit lethal hits AND +1. “While this model is leading a unit weapons in that unit HAVE the lethal hits ability.” And when the unit a character is attached to dies that unit still dies, medics (such as apothecaries, plague surgeons, spirit seers, etc.) cannot continue to revive those units. It’s the same reason that if you kill both units for an objective you get points for killing two units.

[@awendigowithinternetaccess4400]

I don't use your videos for sleep, but it's not because your voice is unpleasant or something, on the contrary, it is actually super pleasant. The problem is, I can't fall asleep because I end up laughing at your jokes so much my body starts aching. 😅❤

[@markusgraf4137]

The discount code for the sleep masks did not work.. 😢

I’m still sad that there are no psychic dreadnoughts because everyone didn’t like Magnus when he gave it to them all.

Thank you PancreasNoWork for making this 16 hour car ride possible. Couldn’t have done it without you.

'...The machines moved slowly, as if time ran differently for them. Boltgun rounds smacked into them, but failed to penetrate. Together, the ghost machines raised their weapons. ‘Take cover!’ shouted Galt. He and his veterans were familiar with the deadly effects of wraithcannon fire. The guns were silent. A black orb appeared on Verderio’s chest. He glanced down at it, and died. Verderio collapsed in on himself, pulled toward the ball of unlight. His armour shattered with a deafening crack. Blood sprayed in all directions as his body imploded. The Sternguard went for cover, keeping up fire as they went. The machines were slow, but their shots many. They tore chunks from the battle-scarred bridge. Dozens of bolt rounds spattered off them without harm, a few exploding when they ricocheted and buried themselves in the fabric of the chamber. Throughout it all the ghost machines made not a single sound. The Space Marines were fighting the dead. Galt watched from behind a fallen spar. The roaring of flames from the adjoining room had become louder, punctuated by the crashing of falling chunks of wraithbone. He had to end this now. He waited until the wraithguard were facing away from him, ready to exploit their poor reactions. ‘For Honourum! For Corvo! For the Oath!’ he cried, and ran full tilt at the eldar machines. He slammed into one, jarring his own body. It staggered back from the force of his impact. The second registered his presence, and brought its deadly rifle to bear. The machines overtopped him by thirty centimetres or more, slender giants. Galt looked into the long, cold face of the thing’s helmet. His own was reflected in the gloss of its surface. Galt swung his power sword with all his might, the crackling edge of it slamming into the bulbous end of the ghost warrior’s cannon. The strange alloys of it split. He stepped back and brought the sword down again, severing the end of the gun from the stock. The wraithguard dropped the shattered weapon, and made a clumsy lunge for him. He sidestepped, sweeping his sword around toward the leg of the first wraithguard, now recovered from Galt’s charge. The sword dug deep into the back of its knee. The construct rounded on him, gun coming toward his head. Galt wrenched at his power sword, the tug of it coming free sending him backwards. He regained his guard in time to stare right down the muzzle of the wraithguard’s gun. And then Aster was there, followed by Gorfillio, advancing on the dais. Their guns spoke, and now the bolts buried themselves deep. Galt’s charge had bought the Sternguard time to change their magazines for those holding vengeance rounds, the unstable fusion cores of these bolts allowing them to penetrate the thick armour of the constructs. Even so, such was the density of the materials used to make the wraithguard that evidence for the explosions of the rounds within was but a splintering upon the surface. The ghost machines did not react as living beings would. They were neither knocked back by the rounds nor did they convulse. They simply stopped; one remained standing, becoming the statue the Space Marines had originally taken it for, the fingers of one hand splayed to grab at Galt. The other folded in on itself and sank to the floor. ‘Thank you, my brothers,’ said Galt. He deactivated his sword, and went to retrieve his helmet. As he went he called up the embarkation deck flight control of Novum in Honourum ‘This is Captain Galt,’ he said. ‘Immediate retrieval required. We are done here. Imperator vincit omnis. One casualty, Brother Verderio. Inform the infirmary and Chaplain Odon. We commend his soul to the Emperor.’ - Nova Marines under the command of Brother Captain Mantillio Galt vs Wraithguard[circa, 887.M39] - "Death of Integrity" - Guy Haley

Saying ElfPancreasNoWork is running out of elf related content is wild when you remember he hasn't talk about elves in OTHER franchises.

Just started an Iyanden wraith host thanks to this channel :)

When you "think" you're out of elf lore to talk about, que other settings elf lore because jokes on you, there is never enough elf simping...

[@tomuchtosay16]

I deliberately took time to delay watching this until it would end right after 2025 started on the East Coast. Thanks for being a weekly-ish ritual for me this past year or so.

[@Vo_Siri]

I have a Wraithknight that I proxy as a Knight Gallant for my Imperial Knights army. The best part of having an entirely mech-based army is that you can basically treat them like a D&D party, with all the idiosyncratic bullshit that comes with it.

[@pirelo5935]

Bro looks like the grunt spec ops with that sleep mask on 😂

[@robertprueter3292]

The pointy eared space twinks do have this going for them, Wraiths are dope. That's *with* them having a bowling pin for a head

[@BlackPsionic]

Wraith constructs are my favourite Eldar unit too, with Wraithguard right at the top. First encounter with them was in Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising. In the multiplayer, their voice presence made me think they were some sort of ethereal being choosing to exist for the moment to kick ass (I knew sod-all about Warhammer 40k as a whole in my youth so I never really clocked what they were, I figured they were dudes in armour like the rest of the Eldar.) Still have yet to play the tabletop, but my models of Wraith constructs outweigh my flesh-and-blood Eldar in both headcount and sheer tonnage. Got a Knight, so many Blades, a few Guard, a Lord and even a damn Seer. Not painted up in canon craftworld colours though (except for an Ulthwe one I painted on accident) - headcanon for My Dudes is that whoever becomes a Wraith construct chooses to do so for their own reasons, and the Craftworld respects them immensely since they're giving up the peace of death to run the risk of life once more. And rather than wear the Craftworld's colours, each Wraith gets a unique paintjob of their choosing (which is totally not my excuse for using Wraithguard/blades as a testbed for any patterns or designs I want to test out first because I think they're really easy to paint and really fun to assemble and paint besides). I think I have about 30 mixed Guard and Blades at this point. Edit: I did not know the Skathatch existed until now but now I want one

[@Nightbanekaizer]

I'd like one of those Wraith Knights. Never knew they existed till this video. There you go again Pancreas. Slowly turning me into a Space Elves fan.

"The only good eldar is a dead eldar!" - fledgling chaos lord about to truly find out what makes dead eldar so good.

“The only good Eldar is a dead Eldar!” Iyandan Wraithlord: “Poor choice of words…”

At this point, I'm hoping you find a way to sneak Settra into every single one of your videos.

I needed another elf/space elf lore fix! Thank you.

You don’t need lethal hits for the spiritseer ability to work the ability itself gives you lethal hits.

[@longliveteambrnz7936]

Eldar one of my favorite faction they really need a new story give those aspect that have no lore finally come out and having a story

[@martintheaquilanshield3917]

Making a video about “what if another eldar god was shattered instead Khaine”. Imagine an Avatar of Vaul, basically Orrn from League but elf.

[@tariqshort4025]

hi pancreas just want to say that you are my new favorite Warhammer content creator.

[@evanbursek2136]

That rule gives lethals to the unit and plus one to hit, works great and you cannot resurrect a unit that is entirely destroyed

Just learned you are type one diabetic and now I will subscribe.

[@Unknown-xr1iz]

Great video. I do have a video idea that I'd love to see you do but would require you to read a trilogy. That is how would the aetas from the " The Galactic Conquest" do in Warhammer 40k. You can do a trilogy of videos out of it. 1. If they were on a world similar to earth that the imperium discovered from the first book. 2. If Aetas came to the 40k universe (the aetas has intergalactic travel so they could travel to the 40k milky way.) Mainly because you can discuss on if they would join the imperium or go against it and how they would do vs the different fractions since the aetas has shown to be able to reverse engineer and improve on alien tech. Mainly discussing during the 2nd book. 3. Involves spoilers but what if they won and came to the 40k universe. This would be the most interesting to me since the super soldiers are drastically different. They have photosynthesis, auto cauterization to stop bleeding, organic armor they can coat themselves with, can survive a little bit on the vacuum of space without armor, and an organic ability to access servers and stuff like that. It's a universe that I believe that can be equal to 40k in terms of power (depending on the 40k faction) that would just become a new faction in the endless wars and stuff.

Headline: Local Eldar Too Angry To Die

[@hyweldda5119]

Wraithknight is so gorgeous. I hope in the codex GW will make several different knight profiles for different weapons with different prices. Because my favorite combo is sword and shield, but this is literally a avatar of Khaine for 495 points

[@venkelos6996]

Ah Iyanden, my only complaint; so much yellow. I always like to hope I'm not the only person who hates painting something majority yellow, but even if I wanted to run Astartes, and Imperial Fists were my favorite, I'd collect something else, because painting a whole army yellow...no. if they were blue, with yellow heads, I'd be all the more for it, but the yellow with blue heads has always been one of my least favorite Eldar color schemes, and that without the difficulty in painting it. It's also nice to hear the reference to Iyanna Arienal, who I don't think I've heard from since 4e? Back in tbe early 2000s, I entirely intended to buy a Brettonian Damsel on Foot, swap in a Farseer's staff, and have her for a Craftworld Iyanden army, though I never got that far. So, is an Eldar spirit stone one use? I get that they exist in limited numbers, are hell to acquire, and an Eldar uses it throughout life to secure their soul, but does that imprint the one soul in it? They can lure a soul back into it, from the IC, to plug it into something else; a wraith, a ship, whatever, but do they HAVE to keep that stone in the Circuit, just in case they might need it, or can that then emptied stone be allocated to another new Eldar? I get its a bottleneck for Eldar reproduction; each CW Eldar needs one, while alive, and they are a bitch to go get, but does that mean even old ones are useless? I don't want to harp, but at that point, it should be a much bigger miracle, and shock, that the initial Eldar survivors were able to acquire the initial x million they needed, following Slaanesh's awakening, that now most of them have one, if each new Eldar needs one, and that means more trips into the Warp, to Crone Worlds, to maybe find a few. It'll be the reason they eventually DO figure out how to breed with humans, because hopefully those inferior half-elves won't need spirit stones; dimmer souls, and maybe another being's protection.

[@DonIgnacioA]

Yes, yes, add the "Akulakhan Wraithknight conversion" to the pile of things I have need of.
