Rare Xenos Threats | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@TheDownrankTrain]

Ironic that Fulgrim, as a consequence of his hubris and hatred of the Laer, would end up in a form that greatly resembled the species he had deemed unworthy. I feel like Slaanesh was sending a message there.

[@Azachiel]

I'm still rather skeptical on if that's really Fulgrim. Sure, he claimed that he'd retaken his body from the Greater Daemon that had taken it and locked his soul up in a painting, but I'm not sure I buy that, especially since the Emperor's Children he told that to had tried to exorcise the Daemon possessing his body through pain. Let me repeat that. They tried to exorcise a Daemon of Slaanesh by inflicting pain on its host. Does anyone see the flaw here?

I like how GW does not toss something away entirely. The demiurg were an attempt at space dwarfs in Battlefleet Gothic as a tau mercenary auxiliary. That did not work out entirely, but then they fold them into their next attempt in Votann. They had their giant mining ships you could include as auxiliaries.

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

Squats pre-date Battlefleet Gothic, I believe 3rd edition was when they were “removed “ for play .

[@SusCalvin]

@@kharnthebetrayer1575 The demiurg were not outright stated to be squats. GW pondered if they could fill the same role. They were then described as one of many auxiliary/mercenary xenos the tau had contact with. You could put a kroot war-sphere in your fleet as well.

[@grizzlyblackpowder1960]

It's all extended lore.

[@rickwrites2612]

Yes, no background music please. It interferes with excellent narration. Also a significant % of ppl who listen to longform lore videos do it while going to sleep. Its a big part of the longform market. It doesnt require soft narration, clear voice like this is great. It just requires no background music (or if you must, something slow) and no sudden changes in volume etc if you insert sponsorship stuff, no weird dramatization noises etc.

[@thelastsigillite]

I've experimented with no music on the videos that followed this one and will probably keep it that way. Im hoping to do much longer videos, so at most, it'll be very low and slow going forward. Great feedback, though, and much appreciated, always looking to improve.

[@TheDownrankTrain]

If GW ever made a dedicated Night Lords codex (unlikely but you never know) feel like the Khrave both aesthetically and thematically would make a fun addition. I can see some great books about the Night Lords forming a truly fucked up mutually beneficial alliance with a species that quite literally feeds on fear and suffering.

[@thelastsigillite]

I love that idea. The 40K universe has so many fringe elements that get no love at all

[@duphasdan]

The Tarellians seem a lot like the lizard factions from the fantasy Warhammer setting. And the Demiurg much like the dwarves.

[@SusCalvin]

The demiurg were a sort of attempt at space dwarfs in Battlefleet Gothic. They had these giant forge- and mining-ships described as sometimes-mercenaries of the tau.

[@Azachiel]

As for other races, there are plenty fun ones. The Enslavers and the Maggot Men come to mind.

Is it me or do the Jokero seem like they have a similar ability to orks, in that they can create technology from seemingly anything and have it actually be functional? They are what the orks would be if they were actually smart.

[@tau-5794]

Both were engineered by the old ones. Jokaero can make higher tech but are not sentient, while orks are more suited for war but are limited in the complexity of their creations.

[@thelastsigillite]

This is an interesting theory but I dont think it's been confirmed in the lore. Physically, they sound incredibly similar, but the Dark Elves fear Slaanesh above everything, and they'd be taking an incredible risk taking slaaneshi laer to commorragh.
