Space sharks dont even have to brutalize you to be absolute menaces the most physical thing they did was hit him with the hose and while painful isnt the worst torture imaginable
For a Dark Eldar tho, this is absolutely brutal torture for them. Since Dark Eldars goes from a BDSM session on the daily, just as we drink a cup of coffee in the morning. The mental torture they put him through was far worse, than anything they could physically have done to him.
This is a real form of torture that is still in use today(also by the USA). People have been subjected to this for months and are incredibly traumatised.
This was such a fantastic book and such a humanizing look into one of the most inhumane and brutal chapters. As a fan of the previous space sharks books I loved a deeper look into Te Kuharangi. Also the twist about the "brothers" was heart wrenching.
The twist about them being brothers and him holding a grudge for 1,000 years was pure cringe, man. The cringiest of cringe that ever did cringe. He took Robbie MacNiven's consumate professionals and turned them in to squabbling siblings.
@@cheguevara19 i think it adds great depth. Stoic destroyers can only go so far, and even with the previous books there still was a lot of emotions. Akai trying to fill the shoes of his previous commander and the contempt the other officers had for him in his new role. Them being actual brothers brings another development in this direction.
@@codycurtin2295 I agree with a few things. Not all space marines should be stoic, they and the primarchs parallel ancient gods and heroes and, if there's one thing you can say about gods and heroes, it's that they were incredibly fiery and open with their emotions. They certainly weren't perfect, anything but. However, they're also well beyond mortal concerns. They live for battle and they battle for their chapter and the Imperium. Trying to tear down his brother, one of the greatest warriors in the chapter, 1,000 years after their mother died and totally irregardless of the damage it could do to the chapter is simply counter to the ideals of duty and honour space marines aspire to, especially high ranking space marines. They should be exemplars, not squabbling children. It's like the difference between the consumate professionals in Star Trek TNG/DS9 and the spoiled brats of Discovery. And that's before we even get on to hypno-indoctrination, them often remembering next to nothing about their lives and the other ridiculous decisions, like hiding their relics on the edge of space guarded by one guy instead of on their flagship. It's just daft through and through. Bodyboarding on to a yacht filled with Drukhari and fighting them hand to hand unarmoured? It's just silly.
Because Dark Eldar strive for and live off of excess. They desperately need stimuly for their senses to be healthy and to keep slaneesh away. By depriving them of all those things, it's basically as if you were torturing humans by waterboarding, slowly burning them etc, aka the worst things imaginable without directly killing them lol
The space sharks are one hundred percent one of the most badass chapters in the galaxy and the fact they could be of nightlord stock makes them all the more interesting to me.. Also really well done narration, I can tell you have a knack for it!
Interestinly enough, they are Terran Raven Guard Corax exiled to the edge of the galaxy. But I read somewhere that they might use Nightlord Gene seed instead of Raven guard, unsure though
@@ThunderBirbthey started as the RG exiled and picked up night lords and world eaters along the way and mixed the stock. They are the most successful Blackshield group
Agreed unlike most space marine chapters who values courage, glory and honor above all else, where even the pragmatic ultramarines tend to get blinded by honor and glory where it becomes a disadvantage rather than battlefield effectiveness where they value an honorable duel or a more direct and personal approach rather than say the raven guard or fire hawks who have little values in the ways of honor and unlike most other space marine chapters who cry out their glories out loud, the hidden blade is just as effective as a weapon that can be seen
The imperium needs to get in contact with the SCP Foundation and see if they can borrow SCP-2701 “True Solitary” to use on the dark eldar. The sensory deprivation chamber from hell.
Took me a moment to realise what that black empty void was when they opened the window shutters. The sharks spend most of their time patrolling above or below the galactic plain. What Utakk was staring at was Dark Space. The void between galaxies. Empty nothing
That was satisfying and a little funny listening to him go nuts with boredom. It reminds me of a very old piece of lore from the original Dungeons & Dragons. "Boredom is the archenemy of all Kender" or something like that. If I remember correctly, the old lore says that the cruelest thing you can do to a member of the Kender race is lock him in a room with literally nothing to do. It made this story all the more funny when I remembered that tidbit. Also I got a question, when they opened the shutters and he gazed out into nothing, what was that supposed to mean? Like literally no stars? Or a blank wall that was designed to make him think he was staring into real space but with a lack of stars? Or could it be that they had literally left the entire galaxy all together and made him face out into the literal void between galaxies?!
I think that maybe they were just facing the dome toward the dark side of a tidally locked planet/moon. If you're close enough there wouldn't be any light that the dark eldar could use to focus on being that you too are in the shadow of the planet/moon.
@@ImperfectVoid8479 I did not know that, that is very cool thank you. I guess this could just be an instance of a writer trying to do a cool thing but it not really fitting with how the world works. Or I could be wrong.
To his Credit, this guy really did prove he had WAAY More mental fortitude than Humans. Most of us would be broken by just the initial four days, this guy resisted for Weeks, and most impressively of all, he did so as a DARK Eldar. The fact he was used to Slaaneshi-levels excess would make you think he'd be far quicker to crack, but no
@AshuMishraUA-cam that's solitary Confinement tho, Robert Maudsley AFAIK was still allowed time out in the open, phone calls, and visits from relatives, this guy was put in an actual sensory deprivation Room, wich Is much worse
Solitary confinement, a Rambo 1 style of shower, silence and boredom to break a Dark Eldar. Concidering that this is 40k this doesn't sound that cruel. At least when compared to what the Dark Eldar do to their victims. But since Dark Eldar are all about dark emotions and sadism to enhance their vitality it's like a drug withdrawal. Something some people concider a pretty hefty experience.
As someone struggling with a certain addiction, i assure you. It's something i would wish upon no one, that feeling of having a part of you desire more and more of what it shouldn't and when it doesn't get, that's when the agony starts. It's like the most hungry of beats scratching and scratching and scratching until it gets what it wants.
@@Azorees-oj5zr oh of course, he probably and most likely did way worse to others. But as someone who suffered from addiction it kinda hit me hard regardless.
I’m glad i looked at the comment section before watching. As someone who has addiction as well and is currently still using with no intention of stopping, I wouldn’t be able to handle watching this rn. I’d need a rly good hit probably more than once while watching and I’m too low on material rn lol. Death? Doesn’t scare me one bit (other than the fact I’d be leaving my wife all alone and she can’t handle the world without me, just like I can’t without her.) withdrawal tho?

I think they should have brought in a servitor or mechanicus adept to constantly talk to him about meaningless technical details and code scripts over and over again while at the same time feeding him lies that are as believable as truths so his entire reality is not only dropped to mundanity but also there is the aspect that within the boredom they created for him he could no longer process what was true or not. Constantly change the rules of his captors while making it seem like its his fault for breaking rules he was never told, ie changing the goal posts. Ie when he talks they blast him with the cold water, when he is silent they come in and talk to him and when he responds or complies with demands they blast him with the water. They should make it a point that they own him, he is not a superior being and they will do to him whatever they want while he will never be able to win or understand. The goal is total break down of the will and total submission by destroying the ego to the point he wouldnt even think of trying to escape, not even consider it was torture one way or the other. Its called learned helplessness where i believe the army put a dog in a box with 2 compartments and window in the middle it could jump through while both floors were electrified and could be activated to zap the dog promting it to jump through the window to the other side to avoid the zaps. Eventually the dog would break down and just accept the zaps without trying to escape. It works on humans too.
So basically they bullied a nerd, got it. Jokes aside, the Space Sharks are pretty neat. I especially love that they have a giant aquarium filled with ancient giant monster sharks on the bridge of their flagship. And as for the story here: I got kind of hooked on the part where the DEldar was appalled by the fact that humans could live like this, in a monotone and sterile environment. It's a subtle reminder that while they Eldar may be incredibly advanced in many ways, humanity is still as alien to them as they are to humans.
You should read the Salamander Trilogy. Vulkan Hestan (not the primarch) was not only able to speak the Eldar tongue but with the combination of promise and a threat, he was able to get webway portal open to the dark city from a haemonculus.Though what the space sharks did was brutal and got the same result. Vulkan's method was way faster.
Boredom is a pretty common police interrogation tactic in real life. Lots of suspects are juet held in the interrogation room for hours and hours to be left alone with their thoughts and possible guilt
To quote the wise words of big E himself in TTS: *YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THE TERRIBLE ATROCIOUS SHIT THAT GOES ON IN THE GALAXY, IT IS SORT OF REFRESHING SEEING THEM HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY FUCKING DESERVES IT.*
I fucking love the charcaradons, who the hell else would hose down a drukarii with a water hose. "I AM THOUSANDS YEARS OLD!! YOU CANT JU-" * High-powered water hose sounds * "I will forgive you for this slight, but only- " * High-pwered water hose sounds * "You will regret thi-" * SLAM *
Im sorry but i couldnt stop laughing imagine a skinNbones elf being flung into a wall by water and subsequently repeated everytime he wasnt expecting it.
I would have shut the eldar in a soundproof clear cell with one way speakers for him to hear all the kids playing with puppies around him while baby shark plays on loop😂
Great story, from an excellent book. Borther Zartath from the Black Dragons Chapter also did something similar to the captured Dark Eldar, but that xenos changed into so called 'Husk' very quiclky.
I think this is the funniest story in 40k. I'm not sure why. The brutality and sadism towards the brutal and sadistic... I don't know why it is so funny but it is.
Haven’t had this much fun since Leman Russ played a Mon Keigh baby game with some dark Eldar. The fact that this is canon and that this torture is done to a creature that deserve absolutely no pity makes this VERY enjoyable. Great video!
they actually did that in hammer and bolter, stuck a emperors children marine in whats effectively a fully covering perfectly fiting metal body glove, providing 0 stimulation.
I know you don’t know me and I don’t know you but, you somehow knew EXACTLY what can get me to immediately click on a video: dark eldar getting impaled on the receiving end for once. Well played sir!
This actually made me feel bad for the poor guy. At the end of the video, even if he did escape, he would never be welcomed back to Commorragh. He would be an exile at best and murdered at worse
Murder, being the worse? Oh no no no no. You'd WISH you were murdered instead. Here at Commorragh, all warm bodies are appreciated. May they be an instrument or chair
He's an Eldar, he can Just become a craftworlder, can he not? Its not like Dark Eldar and normal craftworlders have Obvius phisical differences between them, its the same specie
@@inserisciunnome from what I remember, dark eldar will wither and die if they don't do the slaneeshi stuff. Inversely, they will be rejuvenated and revived when they do the slaneeshi stuff. As in, revived from death, with nothing but a finger. So no, he can't be a craftworld elder, he is technically, biologically different.
A reminder that the Dark Eldar deserve every bit of suffering they get. Imagine the atrocities of Imperial Japan but magnified. That’s Dark Eldar. They deserve to suffer.

one of the chaos space marines in one of the novels broke a dark eldar he injected his hand with tims to numb it and make it usless he then said after breaking boath his legs the next lot will go in th back of your neck therefore paralysis from the neck down and unable to die the dark eldar went nuts as he did not want to turn into a husk paralysed from the neck down as dwrk eldar dont realy die he told him everything he wanted to know
Hilarious how the supposedly superior alien can’t handle 3 days of nothing, when even an Imperial Guardsman would be completely mental/morally solid after that.
The most terrible thing is that this type of torture exists for real and it's incredibly effective. On a Dark Eldar, that litterally needs emotions to live it must be 1000 times worse!

@@angelolima8984i think its the w40k book "The Red Tithe
Space Shark #1: “So how long did it take to break the xeno’s will?”
Space Shark #2: “It was only in solitary for 15 minutes.”
This is how someone discribes eating diner without UA-cam
Space sharks dont even have to brutalize you to be absolute menaces the most physical thing they did was hit him with the hose and while painful isnt the worst torture imaginable
For a Dark Eldar tho, this is absolutely brutal torture for them. Since Dark Eldars goes from a BDSM session on the daily, just as we drink a cup of coffee in the morning. The mental torture they put him through was far worse, than anything they could physically have done to him.
This is a real form of torture that is still in use today(also by the USA).
People have been subjected to this for months and are incredibly traumatised.
White Room
I like quiet and lit places
Mostly by the USA*
And are punished if noise is made.
Sounds awesome. Peace and quiet with my own mind.
Utakk: “MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!!”
Carcharodons: “It takes us to the dark within or else it gets the hose again”
This was such a fantastic book and such a humanizing look into one of the most inhumane and brutal chapters. As a fan of the previous space sharks books I loved a deeper look into Te Kuharangi. Also the twist about the "brothers" was heart wrenching.
The twist about them being brothers and him holding a grudge for 1,000 years was pure cringe, man. The cringiest of cringe that ever did cringe. He took Robbie MacNiven's consumate professionals and turned them in to squabbling siblings.
@@cheguevara19 i think it adds great depth. Stoic destroyers can only go so far, and even with the previous books there still was a lot of emotions. Akai trying to fill the shoes of his previous commander and the contempt the other officers had for him in his new role. Them being actual brothers brings another development in this direction.
@@codycurtin2295 I agree with a few things. Not all space marines should be stoic, they and the primarchs parallel ancient gods and heroes and, if there's one thing you can say about gods and heroes, it's that they were incredibly fiery and open with their emotions. They certainly weren't perfect, anything but.
However, they're also well beyond mortal concerns. They live for battle and they battle for their chapter and the Imperium. Trying to tear down his brother, one of the greatest warriors in the chapter, 1,000 years after their mother died and totally irregardless of the damage it could do to the chapter is simply counter to the ideals of duty and honour space marines aspire to, especially high ranking space marines. They should be exemplars, not squabbling children. It's like the difference between the consumate professionals in Star Trek TNG/DS9 and the spoiled brats of Discovery.
And that's before we even get on to hypno-indoctrination, them often remembering next to nothing about their lives and the other ridiculous decisions, like hiding their relics on the edge of space guarded by one guy instead of on their flagship. It's just daft through and through. Bodyboarding on to a yacht filled with Drukhari and fighting them hand to hand unarmoured? It's just silly.
Utakk thought his confinement was a tragedy. But now we realize... it's a comedy.
What is tragedy but comedy without the laughter.
And Utakk is the punchline
A narcissist vs psychopaths. Poor bastard never stood a chance.
Am I the only one who chuckled when he "are you gonna--?" *WATER CANNON*
I think that was genius in the way they broke him. Idk why they did it but it was awesome the way they did it
Because Dark Eldar strive for and live off of excess. They desperately need stimuly for their senses to be healthy and to keep slaneesh away. By depriving them of all those things, it's basically as if you were torturing humans by waterboarding, slowly burning them etc, aka the worst things imaginable without directly killing them lol
The space sharks are one hundred percent one of the most badass chapters in the galaxy and the fact they could be of nightlord stock makes them all the more interesting to me.. Also really well done narration, I can tell you have a knack for it!
Interestinly enough, they are Terran Raven Guard Corax exiled to the edge of the galaxy. But I read somewhere that they might use Nightlord Gene seed instead of Raven guard, unsure though
@@ThunderBirbthey started as the RG exiled and picked up night lords and world eaters along the way and mixed the stock. They are the most successful Blackshield group
Agreed unlike most space marine chapters who values courage, glory and honor above all else, where even the pragmatic ultramarines tend to get blinded by honor and glory where it becomes a disadvantage rather than battlefield effectiveness where they value an honorable duel or a more direct and personal approach rather than say the raven guard or fire hawks who have little values in the ways of honor and unlike most other space marine chapters who cry out their glories out loud, the hidden blade is just as effective as a weapon that can be seen
The imperium needs to get in contact with the SCP Foundation and see if they can borrow SCP-2701 “True Solitary” to use on the dark eldar. The sensory deprivation chamber from hell.
Dark Eldar getting a small fraction of what they deserve.
Such a brutal chapter..... they break DE with the silent treatment and lack of entertainment.
Took me a moment to realise what that black empty void was when they opened the window shutters.
The sharks spend most of their time patrolling above or below the galactic plain. What Utakk was staring at was Dark Space. The void between galaxies. Empty nothing
That was satisfying and a little funny listening to him go nuts with boredom. It reminds me of a very old piece of lore from the original Dungeons & Dragons. "Boredom is the archenemy of all Kender" or something like that. If I remember correctly, the old lore says that the cruelest thing you can do to a member of the Kender race is lock him in a room with literally nothing to do. It made this story all the more funny when I remembered that tidbit.
Also I got a question, when they opened the shutters and he gazed out into nothing, what was that supposed to mean? Like literally no stars? Or a blank wall that was designed to make him think he was staring into real space but with a lack of stars? Or could it be that they had literally left the entire galaxy all together and made him face out into the literal void between galaxies?!
I think that maybe they were just facing the dome toward the dark side of a tidally locked planet/moon. If you're close enough there wouldn't be any light that the dark eldar could use to focus on being that you too are in the shadow of the planet/moon.
The space sharks hunt in the void so it is very possible they took him to the edge of the galaxy
@@ImperfectVoid8479 I did not know that, that is very cool thank you. I guess this could just be an instance of a writer trying to do a cool thing but it not really fitting with how the world works. Or I could be wrong.
To his Credit, this guy really did prove he had WAAY More mental fortitude than Humans.
Most of us would be broken by just the initial four days, this guy resisted for Weeks, and most impressively of all, he did so as a DARK Eldar.
The fact he was used to Slaaneshi-levels excess would make you think he'd be far quicker to crack, but no
Some people can windstan more
@AshuMishraUA-cam that's solitary Confinement tho, Robert Maudsley AFAIK was still allowed time out in the open, phone calls, and visits from relatives, this guy was put in an actual sensory deprivation Room, wich Is much worse
Didn’t prisons used to do this as punishment sometimes for months?
@@Ch-ew9tmno. Solitary confinement is not sensory deprivation.
@@shadowscall7758 many prisons just put you in a concrete box with nothing in it and only take you out once a week to shower so it might as well be.
Now tell me that Charcharadon Astra aren't loyalist Night Lords I dare you
More like chimeric between night Lord and original sadistic terran Raven guard before corrax took over
The original Terran intake of the XIXth legion were basically more Night Lord versions of the Night Lords.
Solitary confinement, a Rambo 1 style of shower, silence and boredom to break a Dark Eldar. Concidering that this is 40k this doesn't sound that cruel. At least when compared to what the Dark Eldar do to their victims.
But since Dark Eldar are all about dark emotions and sadism to enhance their vitality it's like a drug withdrawal. Something some people concider a pretty hefty experience.
As someone struggling with a certain addiction, i assure you. It's something i would wish upon no one, that feeling of having a part of you desire more and more of what it shouldn't and when it doesn't get, that's when the agony starts. It's like the most hungry of beats scratching and scratching and scratching until it gets what it wants.
Unironically kinda feel bad for this Eldar. The way this is described is basically what it's like to suffer a withdrawl from addiction.
As your soul gets consumed by a dark God it's like withdrawals that are so bad you die
I don’t, the Dark Eldar deserves it.
@@Azorees-oj5zr yea these sweat goblins do things to people that are literally unspeakable whatever they get they deserve
@@Azorees-oj5zr oh of course, he probably and most likely did way worse to others. But as someone who suffered from addiction it kinda hit me hard regardless.
I’m glad i looked at the comment section before watching. As someone who has addiction as well and is currently still using with no intention of stopping, I wouldn’t be able to handle watching this rn. I’d need a rly good hit probably more than once while watching and I’m too low on material rn lol.
Death? Doesn’t scare me one bit (other than the fact I’d be leaving my wife all alone and she can’t handle the world without me, just like I can’t without her.) withdrawal tho? That thing….that does scare me lol. I’d rather get shot in the head than go thru that.
Dark Eldar: "We are _sociopaths_ "
Space Marines: *Laughing in Psychopath* That's... _Cute_
I think they should have brought in a servitor or mechanicus adept to constantly talk to him about meaningless technical details and code scripts over and over again while at the same time feeding him lies that are as believable as truths so his entire reality is not only dropped to mundanity but also there is the aspect that within the boredom they created for him he could no longer process what was true or not. Constantly change the rules of his captors while making it seem like its his fault for breaking rules he was never told, ie changing the goal posts. Ie when he talks they blast him with the cold water, when he is silent they come in and talk to him and when he responds or complies with demands they blast him with the water. They should make it a point that they own him, he is not a superior being and they will do to him whatever they want while he will never be able to win or understand. The goal is total break down of the will and total submission by destroying the ego to the point he wouldnt even think of trying to escape, not even consider it was torture one way or the other. Its called learned helplessness where i believe the army put a dog in a box with 2 compartments and window in the middle it could jump through while both floors were electrified and could be activated to zap the dog promting it to jump through the window to the other side to avoid the zaps. Eventually the dog would break down and just accept the zaps without trying to escape. It works on humans too.
Sir this is wendy
I the fact they did that to a dog is awful! Poor dog.
Wowwwww! You've been planning this for a while.😅
r/suspiciouslyspecific
Nigga typed this straight from the commorragh library computer
So basically they bullied a nerd, got it.
Jokes aside, the Space Sharks are pretty neat. I especially love that they have a giant aquarium filled with ancient giant monster sharks on the bridge of their flagship.
And as for the story here: I got kind of hooked on the part where the DEldar was appalled by the fact that humans could live like this, in a monotone and sterile environment. It's a subtle reminder that while they Eldar may be incredibly advanced in many ways, humanity is still as alien to them as they are to humans.
Grimgor iz da best
This is pure comedy gold. I love the Dark Eldar and this did justice to all parties involved.
I love the mental image of a Space Shark casually blasting an Eldar with a firehose.
fun fact: the sharks actually enjoy staying in a silent cell (in cold salt water) or walking around endless corridors in a never changing environment
This feels Autism coded and I dont mean that in a derogatory intent.
Bros first strategy was to seduce the space marines. 😂
Man he has NO IDEA who he was dealing with. Stupid elf probably didn't know jack about astartes.
2:56 sounds like Gen alpha not being able to access social media for 10 min
More than 40k years later and still nothing beats the padded white room and the daily session with a chair, rag and a water bucket
Only thing better would be the twist; that a sister of silence or a 'blank' was just sitting on the otherside of the door.
I never thought a warhammer story with a dark eldar would make me laugh but every time they fired the water cannon it was the best punchline.
You should read the Salamander Trilogy. Vulkan Hestan (not the primarch) was not only able to speak the Eldar tongue but with the combination of promise and a threat, he was able to get webway portal open to the dark city from a haemonculus.Though what the space sharks did was brutal and got the same result. Vulkan's method was way faster.
it was ruse by Vect, he let them in on purpose
@@michael3088 Really it has been a while since I read the book series, but I don't recall ever reading that Vect was involved.
Wasn't really brutal.
@@elliotyourarobot From a Dark Eldar perspective it is. Considering stimulation is everything for them.
@@dracodarastrix4175even regular humans would go insane in less than a day, if you are kept without any kind of stimulation
Boredom is a pretty common police interrogation tactic in real life. Lots of suspects are juet held in the interrogation room for hours and hours to be left alone with their thoughts and possible guilt
To quote the wise words of big E himself in TTS:
*YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THE TERRIBLE ATROCIOUS SHIT THAT GOES ON IN THE GALAXY, IT IS SORT OF REFRESHING SEEING THEM HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY FUCKING DESERVES IT.*
Never thought the Carcharadons would such massive trolls.
They are just being normal they literally take vows of silence the Eldar didn't know that and couldn't handle it
I fucking love the charcaradons, who the hell else would hose down a drukarii with a water hose.
"I AM THOUSANDS YEARS OLD!! YOU CANT JU-"
* High-powered water hose sounds *
"I will forgive you for this slight, but only- "
* High-pwered water hose sounds *
"You will regret thi-"
* SLAM *
Im sorry but i couldnt stop laughing imagine a skinNbones elf being flung into a wall by water and subsequently repeated everytime he wasnt expecting it.
I would have shut the eldar in a soundproof clear cell with one way speakers for him to hear all the kids playing with puppies around him while baby shark plays on loop😂
Bruh, I read this book. Damn they really made the Space Sharks more scary than other factions
I always hated being grounded more than any other punishment as a kid so I can relate lol 😭
Great story, from an excellent book. Borther Zartath from the Black Dragons Chapter also did something similar to the captured Dark Eldar, but that xenos changed into so called 'Husk' very quiclky.
I think this is the funniest story in 40k. I'm not sure why. The brutality and sadism towards the brutal and sadistic... I don't know why it is so funny but it is.
Haven’t had this much fun since Leman Russ played a Mon Keigh baby game with some dark Eldar.
The fact that this is canon and that this torture is done to a creature that deserve absolutely no pity makes this VERY enjoyable.
Great video!
I’m fascinated how the idea of basically just literally ignoring them is torture for them
I wonder if the same thing works with slaanesh followers
they actually did that in hammer and bolter, stuck a emperors children marine in whats effectively a fully covering perfectly fiting metal body glove, providing 0 stimulation.
@@Brandon-ff1yo he got so deprived he looked like a pale bat.
@@porsche-sandoesnotundersta8184he always looked like a pale bat. Blessings of slaanesh
In a universe where innocents needlessly suffer it's absolutely satisfying when it happens to someone who absolutely deserves it.
I know you don’t know me and I don’t know you but, you somehow knew EXACTLY what can get me to immediately click on a video: dark eldar getting impaled on the receiving end for once. Well played sir!
This actually made me feel bad for the poor guy. At the end of the video, even if he did escape, he would never be welcomed back to Commorragh. He would be an exile at best and murdered at worse
Murder would probably be the best outcome... The haemonuli are always looking for materials.
Murder, being the worse? Oh no no no no. You'd WISH you were murdered instead.
Here at Commorragh, all warm bodies are appreciated. May they be an instrument or chair
He's an Eldar, he can Just become a craftworlder, can he not?
Its not like Dark Eldar and normal craftworlders have Obvius phisical differences between them, its the same specie
@@inserisciunnome from what I remember, dark eldar will wither and die if they don't do the slaneeshi stuff. Inversely, they will be rejuvenated and revived when they do the slaneeshi stuff. As in, revived from death, with nothing but a finger.
So no, he can't be a craftworld elder, he is technically, biologically different.
@@natechi290Apparently, you can join the Ynnead bunch as a dark one if you repent hard enough.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only the time-out chair.
"And now, the blackest present for the most brütal of all bass players."
"NOOTTTHHHIIINNG."
A reminder that the Dark Eldar deserve every bit of suffering they get.
Imagine the atrocities of Imperial Japan but magnified. That’s Dark Eldar. They deserve to suffer.
I saw the title and just thought: "Yep, totally something the Void Guppies would do."
Great video! Love the Space Sharks and you really did the scene justice!
dark eldar ''we zee masters of torture you think you can torture uss monkeg ha! we so 'superior' species.. wait.. why are you just locking the door doing nothing..wait..no..NO!''
I wish they had an Ogryn on board. As the door 🚪 opened, the dark elf heard a dimwitted voice yelling, "Purge the unclean." 🌊🚿
Were this happening to anything other than a dark eldar, it'd be such a dark and tragic story. As it stands, it's goddamn hilarious.
Man, this elf basically feels what I have felt for years at my job, so I don’t feel bad for Mr “a week was to much”
Awwww... The dark eldar begun to cry -
For the Eldar to think they have mastered all kinds of torture is just natural to their Arrogance
I liked this breakdown! Always good to see more 40k voices and content creators.
"We captured this homeless xeno so I'm spraying him with dirty brown wat-er" - Allenus, 2nd Company of the Carcharodons
The Codex Astartes had been edited to support this action
this is why i love the sharks, no rituale crap, no theatriques, no speeches. just brutal efficiency
- “what’s your desire?”
-“blast you with this hose….”
I love to imagine that carcharodons just giggling with each other silently through out
im beginning to believe that space sharks are.more of a night lords than a raven guard
“GET IN THE HORNY BOX!”
_”REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-“_
I mean... He is xenos. Usually that's a burn on meeting offense. He's lucky.
Considering if he doesn't do evil things to other people regularly he can feel his soul being slowly eaten by Slaanesh? No, this is much worse.
The first torture method that came to my mind was "Baby shark dut-du-dut-dut-du-du!"
When you think about it Dark Eldar are the personification of that feeling you get when you look at your steam library and have nothing you want to play
While the Dark Eldar cries as his mind crushes into a thin paste of madness, the Space Sharks were probably playing UNO in the other room.
"Brother, the creepy, BDSM xeno twink is crying again. Hose him down and ignore him for another 24 hours."
A loyalist nightlords doing good deeds 😊
edit:
after all they are the expert of psychological warfare and underhanded tactics to break their opponents spacesharks really got that from the night lords
not only nightlords, but ravengaurd nightlord hybrids, but we definitely saw their nightlord come out here, and it was kind of funny.
@@Brandon-ff1yoif y’all think this terrible book was good you should check out the amazing books Red Tithe and Outer Dark along with the short story Reaping time. You’ll find out it’s 3 legions that make up Carcharodon gene stock and that was confirmed by the author in an interview
Space Sharks are Masters of Trolling
If you pay attention to the last artwork (18:00) you can clearly see that the space marine is actually Gura and the Servo-skull is Bloop 🤣
one of the chaos space marines in one of the novels broke a dark eldar he injected his hand with tims to numb it and make it usless he then said after breaking boath his legs the next lot will go in th back of your neck therefore paralysis from the neck down and unable to die the dark eldar went nuts as he did not want to turn into a husk paralysed from the neck down as dwrk eldar dont realy die he told him everything he wanted to know
Humans best weapon against Dark Eldar. The ability to think nothing. Just stare into the void and shut off the brain.
This works on humans too lol
@@Asura465not as effective tho I bet you could last a week an average dark Eldar would not be capable of that
@@Nightmare-go7kf yep. Humans could last a little bit longer and that's about it. That's all I was saying lol
So when dealing with s dak eldar just treat them like a bratty child 😂
Hilarious how the supposedly superior alien can’t handle 3 days of nothing, when even an Imperial Guardsman would be completely mental/morally solid after that.
Reminds me of the short.
Torturing an Emperor's Children marine by retraining him into a sens deprivation coffin lol
The most terrible thing is that this type of torture exists for real and it's incredibly effective. On a Dark Eldar, that litterally needs emotions to live it must be 1000 times worse!
3 days in a cell to crack a dark eldar? I'm amazed this isn't done en masse
