While the Avatar of Khaine mostly is used by writers to get dunked so someone can look strong, there are some stories with hard Avatar of Khaine Wins. Priests of Mars by Graham McNeill: Avatar of Khaine trashes a Black Templars Reclusiarch, who has to command his brothers to leave him behind. Warboss by Mike Brooks: Avatar of Khaine has the three strongest orks, who have been fighting each other for leadership of a Waaagh, in such a struggle, that they are forced to gang up on it. And when their teamwork slips for a second, it kills two of them with the last ork standing, against all Ork instincts, choosing to leave the fight, which the ork rationalizes by believing they're retreating towards a bigger fight. Bonus: The Avatar of Khaine stops pursuing the orks, because some humans shot at it and the scene closes with it bearing down on them, heavily implied to be unstoppable. PS: If you know any more Avatar of Khaine W moments, put em here.
The avatar of Khaine in Valedor gets left behind by the rest of the craftworld forces after a disastrous first assault on a tyranid horde. The eldar spend the next few days regrouping, come back for another go at it and discover that not only is the avatar still alive, it has done nothing but kill tyranids for the past three days and is found standing atop a mountain of bug corpses, throttling a Trygon. The avatar also shows up in one of the Ciaphas Cain books, there's a moment where Cain and friends are running from a daemon Prince when the eldar show up and start chanting "Khaine! Khaine! Khaine!" Cain hears this and wonders how the fuck the eldar know his name and why they're so happy to see him. Then he looks up into the sky and sees a burning figure falling towards them with incredible speed. The avatar of Khaine jumped out of an eldar ship in orbit and sketches a perfect super hero landing, then beats the crap out of the daemon Prince.
@@BrotherGS Valedor is a great Eldar book, well worth a read, Guy Haley has portrayed the different Eldar factions in a compelling way. The books by Gav Thorpe are the ones you should stay away from.
@@alexandergogolev702 thanks, ive been staying away from eldar books, even though I absolutely love them, because ive heard most of their books were ass
In one of the Ciaphas Cain books the eldar air drop an avatar onto a daemon prince of Slaanesh and he just annihilates her and if I remember correctly absorbing her essence into his weapon.
I don't know if it's proper name, but The Worf Effect is a trope name for a character that everyone says is a badass warrior who has kicked the ass of many a foe, who consistently gets curbed stomped as a fast and cheap way of showing how big a threat the curb stomper is
How to write characters with future sight. 1. Let them win. 2. Put them against another character with future sight. Princess Bride poison scene. 3. They are more busy with a different battle. 4. Partial victory or a loss benefits their longer term plans. Cadia Stands! (minus 1 for Abbadon)
5: future isn't exact in 40K, so they just read the wrong one then get stuck in a fight they can't win due to being throughly outclassed at all physical levels, so the future sight is only enough to keep them barely alive for a while. Or just make it a very limited resource in some manner. I.e: i can see into the future with perfect accuracy for 27 seconds every day. If the fight lasts longer than 28 seconds i am in a really really bad position.
The eldar seer saw a great victory, committed his forces and then got horribly mangled. It was a great victory for his enemies though. The thing about eldar visions is that the long distance shit isn't an itemised list of exactly what they need to do to win everything forever, its more like a drug trip vision quest they have to interpret. The more more immediate future is easier to read and problems with a limited number of variables are also easier. Flip a million coins in front of a farseer and they will call it correctly literally every time. But a battlefield is FAR more complex than the binary results of a coin flip. There is a reason why most craftworlds have their armies lead by actual military strategists and not farseers, ITS STILL KINDA IMPORTANT. Farseer crutches are a Fandom meme, only Ulthwe goes super hard on minority reporting people.
Demons alter the future and visions of the future. Plus the arrogant Eldar look stupid far into the future despite the fact it gets exponentially less reliable the further you look.
Abaddon and the genestealers would be a cool band name. Probably starting an urban legend about how several people disappear every concert with half reappearing as strangely devoted groupies.
Another thing to add to the Aspect Warriors is that each aspect warrior shrine is different on each individual Craftworld. Meaning that each Shine is basically successor chapter.
I can relate to the "commit to a bit so hard you just become lost in it" thing. As you may notice, this account is in fact a roleplay account for the Neustra Senora De La Santisima Trinidad, the largest warship from the age of sail, bearing 140 cannons. And i really like ships, i think ships are amazing and i hope to buy one at some point and sail it around a lake on my off days. The roleplay account came before the love of ships. I just committed to the bit about 1 particular ship being amazing so hard that i started liking ships. It's very enjoyable but very silly to think about.
Tenth like! Genestealers, let's go! I've never been this early for something. My understanding of the distinction between Khorne and Khaine is that Khaine is just plainly mass murder and slaughter, with no rhyme or reason, completely honourless, and without any sense to it, whereas Khorne is more systematic and has his own viking-style sense of honour (and by Viking I mean Raider; you gotta have your dinner before having your dessert). Khaine was actually told by the daughter of Isha that the Eldar would bring about Khaine's end, which was a bit of a dick move since the Eldar are technically her siblings. Khaine immediately went around massacreing Eldar, which emotionally devastated Isha, and started a big issue in the pantheon.
What makes a Farseer special isn't that they can see into the future. Most psychers can do that. They can typically see all futures and make accurate predictions on what is likely to happen. In... I want to say the 3rd edition eldar codex there is a quote from a farseer where they state that they know that the dark eldar are going to attack through a specific web way gate but that it would be an utter waste of time and life to guard it. His student asks why. The farseer says that his abilities let him know the attack will happen, but not when it will happen. That it could be now or 500 years from now. That is why Elderad Ulthrin is supposed to be amazing. He can see all permutations of the future and make accurate predictions that remain true even thousands of years into the future despite its many branching paths
@SeanCrosser He suffers from the same problem the tyrinids do in that most authors don't have a clue how to write them. As a result, they all look stupid.
@@ethanmcrae1665 I still hate there's a trilogy of books sitting on my shelf that basically amounts to "we had to beg the big cool space marine man not to stomp our craftworld flat" The best source of Eldar lore, including how they're somehow written to be incredibly incompetent and pointlessly haughty.
@@SeanCrosser The constant pain of Astartes wanking. Some day GW might maybe sorta think about listening to everyone begging them to stop making every other faction look incompetent and lame. Or to just give them any content and main character status in more books. The Eldar are so interesting I hate that they squander it so hard
@@leandrocastello309this is a perfect example of how the bad part of the community will try and ruin it for the rest out of salt and not knowing how to take a tiny joke
Gotta say, I kinda thought this one was going to be a little boring, but listening to you guys riffing on the aspect warriors was pretty great. I’m not forgetting “the Eldar peaked in high school” any time soon. I still want my genestealers though.
You know what. I love you guys. I love this channel and the format of Isyander tells Koda about something he’s passionate about (Warhammer). But I think we need to see the coin flipped. I want an episode or two or more of Koda telling Isyander something he’s passionate about (Dune). But if I had to stick to the main format I would want an episode about genestealers.
I do want an episode going over the Eldar equipment. The warp spiders are terrifying with their guns that shoot webbing that you can not see and will shred you to ribbons before you know it. A wraith episode would be ok too. Going in depth of how they are created and "piloted".
As someone familiar with the Amish, they have plenty of money. Not only are the acutely aware of the value and power behind money, but they also dont pay taxes in the same way that we do.
I know you meant Horus Heresy, but now I'm picturing Men of Iron except they're horses with guns riding around ruining Genghis Khan (AKA The Emperor) and his empire
When you mentioned actors getting so into a role it can effect their speech, I was reminded of Charlie Hunan. While playing Jax Teller for Sons of Anarchy, he forgot how to speak like the part of England he is from and took vocal lessons to bring it back. Also, gene stealers, obviously. Will say, best Joker and most defining of a portrayal is Hamill.
In Craftworld society, Guardians are well trained, motivated civilian conscripts. The Dire Avengers are professional enlisted that have excelled in their class and have no other focus but general warfare.
Vote for genestelaers! Tue big dakka has some fun eldar lore in it. Eldar have some very strict gender roles in their society, but they have the technology to alter your gender as easily as you alter a suit of armor. In the story this was mostly about the drukhari but I expect the craftworld Eldar to have access to the same technology. All howling banshees are female. This does not exclude anyone from signing up, but some might have a bonus step in their physical exam to go through in initiation.
in loving memory of my brother, who before he passed suddenly was an attorney who had to explain what "Jorts" were to a presiding judge, please Koda, wear some jorts in your Canadian tuxedo. Genestealers, please and thank you.
Unfortunately for Heath Ledger, he was allergic to the props/makeup used to create that Joker Smile. He was using an immense amount of drugs to try not to constantly hurt, but that eventually caught up to him. It's really cool to think that the Joker killed him, but the tragedy of Heath is that he was more like Bane.
Eldrad, Magnus, and Kairos having a three way future sight proxy war for shots and giggle like The Infinity and the Divine could be a very fun story. The best way to do future sight in 40K is to have more people looking at the future and messing with what the other person sees.
Known no, but harlequins are lowkey equals in some sense to aspect warriors. Except results of the fight depends on which aspect warrior we talk about. Other thing is, solitaire is phoenix lord level. It is not even close to normal aspect warrior or even exarch. Some may have chance, like fire dragon gets lucky and burns solitaire to nothingness or Dark reaper just sees through his missle and hits the bullseye before he comes close enough, but generally not even close skill or power wise
Puerto Rican here, fun facts about Puerto Rico for the forgien fraka: 1. We have the second deepest trench, Brownson Deep 2. First ever sighting of the chupacabra, little green men 3. The most US military-UFO sightings 4. One of the tips of the Bermuda triangle 5. The first governor was Juan Ponce de Leon , the Spaniard who set out to find the fountain of youth And so many more
What I want to see is Eldrad having to fight against impossible fates. Where every turn he makes, every alternate future he envisions, leads to a worse outcome. Kill that bloodline, well that'll cause a major Slaaneshi cult uprising over there. Kill all them too? Well that'll piss off the Drukhari who'll raid the Craftworld instead. Hide the Craftworld? Another craftworld will get destroyed if they're not there to help. One of the hardest struggles as a leader is having to choose between two options that will both lead to bad outcomes and you know it. This happened to me. I worked at a fast food restaurant, and I had to make a choice. It was valentine's day, and we were doing some gimmicky heart-shaped food thing for it. And it was going too slow. So I had to make the choice between giving people normal shaped food or having wait times get up to 20-30 minutes. No matter what happened, I was going to get chewed out for it, so I made the best decision I could. It sucked.
Doing Abaddon after 13 polls is perfect. Please. Also 😂 one thing I really liked about the 10th edition Eldar codex was the cool, artistic presentation of Khaine’s legend. Really painted him as this wrathful, raging figure who 100% would’ve gone down fighting Chaos still swinging.
Thank you for this Isyander and Koda! If eldar ever comes up again, I don't know if you guys would find the various Celtic influences in theme interesting
The full Jean outfit had better include jorts and jean leggings. And you might be saying to yourself, "oh, but i don't have either of those, so i can't..." Stop Don't play, you have scissors, creativity and a pair of jeans that are more holes than denim at this point. Think of iysanders face as you give us all a little catwalk turn... You know what must be done.
Honestly wish my steel toes where bought for me back in the day! But I always loved the steel toe “tennis” shoes you could walk around a factory in lol
One poor guy's log: I have been hearing alot off skittering and tapping latel, my cat has also gone missing and someone has taking some off my data pads. 2 days later... I saw my neighbour, he looked stressed, his daughter was missing. Apparently she's been missing more then a week. 1 week later... I'm, I'm scared, I have been hearing voices and animal noises, they, they sound wrong, I don't know what to do. 1 day later... I was out on a walk and saw some wierd looking folks, they were hairless, realy pale and had some odd bumps on there heads. They seem to have home made guns. 3 Hours later... OH GOD EMPEROR, they took my neighbours and now they are looking for me, they are banging on my door. THIS LOG WAS FOUND BY THE INQUISITION AFTER A FAILED GENESTEALER UPRISING
I still want a Warhammer 40k game where you can have a Howling Banshee in your party. Like, most of the ones that give you an elf for the group it is a sniper or sharpshooter or some other flavour of long range. It would be so funny to go "Oh yeah, I have an Eldar in my group, there they are." And it is a whirlwind of blades and screams.
You guys are great, I've watched almost every video you have on youtube and you guys got me to buy the caine omnibus book which I DID NOT know was 750+ pages! haha...
"I love life, but with you I draw the line. Not to flaunt my superior design, but next to you, I'm practically divine." Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Cockroach I think this pretty much sums up the Eldar view of humanity.
I love how the shelves behind them are gradually filling up. Who knows what the next item will be... We should have a poll for what should go in one of them 😀. Maybe a primarch model!
Fun idea for the future sight Eldar and how to write him. Since he can see the possibilities, there's the story. You don't write what happens because that's a given with him involved but write what could have happened in several different versions as he figures out the best course of action.
I believe there was a passage for the Eldar that talked about a Craftworld Farseer that had her mask slip, recalling the crime she had done as a Howling Banshee. She had killed a mother and her child in her psychopathic mindset, and remembering that was paralyzingly horrific for her. The masks are a necessary thing, even if they end up doing some dark stuff while under certain ones.
Down with the Despoiler, the Day of Ascencion is at hand! Praised be the Patriach! I will rail for Alpha Legion April Fools' to the bitter, bitter end! Do not betray the Masters of Betrayal! Glad to see the Aeldari get some more stuff, I really hope GW follows suits and gives Ceogorach's Fools some love.
The warp is an acausal loop/ closed timelike curve. Basically a blown out butthole of 2 wormholes on either end of time in their own dimension. The warp changes as the knot of now moves along the tunnel of time. Head cannon only but best explanation I have for the warp.
Regarding writing stories with characters with foresight: Just let us look at "The infinite and the divine", i mean Orikan can't really see into the future, but also can kinda prevent it when it wont fit how he likes it... and that book was written awesomely with that.
The most meta thing ever would be to start out as an Abbadon episode then Kota cones out in the Genestealer outfit and hijacks the show.

How to write characters with future sight.
1. Let them win.
2. Put them against another character with future sight. Princess Bride poison scene.
3. They are more busy with a different battle.
4. Partial victory or a loss benefits their longer term plans.

6. Have them get ambushed by superior ambush strategists because Raven Guard are sooooo coool and Eldar are sooooo lame
7. Sometimes, there is just no good outcome.
The eldar seer saw a great victory, committed his forces and then got horribly mangled.
It was a great victory for his enemies though.
The thing about eldar visions is that the long distance shit isn't an itemised list of exactly what they need to do to win everything forever, its more like a drug trip vision quest they have to interpret.
The more more immediate future is easier to read and problems with a limited number of variables are also easier.

I worked at a fast food restaurant, and I had to make a choice. It was valentine's day, and we were doing some gimmicky heart-shaped food thing for it. And it was going too slow. So I had to make the choice between giving people normal shaped food or having wait times get up to 20-30 minutes. No matter what happened, I was going to get chewed out for it, so I made the best decision I could. It sucked.
Thank you guys for being there to insure my week ends with charming and sophisticated dialogue on my favorite scifi
The genestealers shall steal abaddon’s jeans
Space Marines always got the best pants, cus they use jeanseeds
First thing I thought of when you said "licking their lips" was which ones... god I love 40k
Genestealters stole my jeans!!!!!
i feel bad for you but could not be me
i just wanna see the genestealer outfit now, so im throwing in for genestealers!
Genestealers!!!!
Praise the 8 handed emperor
I swear if failbaddon the armless wins, I'm going to Hive mind scream.
I second that!!
For the love of the Star Children!
Levi Thieves
Fun fact, a howling banshee's howl is so incredibly loud it can and will turn your insides into mush
One vote against abbadon and one vote for Genestealers
20:55 I like the part about the fun of teaching. It really fits this channel in a nice way :)
Gean steeler! For the hivemind
Vore For the genestealers and against Abadon, we need the 13. Black Poll
Genestealers is my vote. Abbadon needs to be in the 13th poll.
Doing Abaddon after 13 polls is perfect. Please.
Also 😂 one thing I really liked about the 10th edition Eldar codex was the cool, artistic presentation of Khaine’s legend. Really painted him as this wrathful, raging figure who 100% would’ve gone down fighting Chaos still swinging.
We need a genestealers episode
GENESTEALERS...... I need to see Koda in a full denim outfit that he stole, i.e, the jean-stealer outfit
Jeanstealers coda - ALL DENIM
Thank you for this Isyander and Koda! If eldar ever comes up again, I don't know if you guys would find the various Celtic influences in theme interesting
The full Jean outfit had better include jorts and jean leggings.
And you might be saying to yourself, "oh, but i don't have either of those, so i can't..."
Stop
Don't play, you have scissors, creativity and a pair of jeans that are more holes than denim at this point.
Think of iysanders face as you give us all a little catwalk turn...
You know what must be done.
Honestly wish my steel toes where bought for me back in the day! But I always loved the steel toe “tennis” shoes you could walk around a factory in lol
GENESTEALERS
One poor guy's log: I have been hearing alot off skittering and tapping latel, my cat has also gone missing and someone has taking some off my data pads.
2 days later...
I saw my neighbour, he looked stressed, his daughter was missing. Apparently she's been missing more then a week.
1 week later...
I'm, I'm scared, I have been hearing voices and animal noises, they, they sound wrong, I don't know what to do.
1 day later...
I was out on a walk and saw some wierd looking folks, they were hairless, realy pale and had some odd bumps on there heads. They seem to have home made guns.
3 Hours later...
OH GOD EMPEROR, they took my neighbours and now they are looking for me, they are banging on my door.
THIS LOG WAS FOUND BY THE INQUISITION AFTER A FAILED GENESTEALER UPRISING
“Amish have money, they don’t have plastic” - the most accurate statement this channel will ever have
You’ve guys have done the space wolves, now PLEASE give Magnus some glory and respect (We know Lemen won’t)
Genestealers, lets let Abbadon win poll 13.
I still want a Warhammer 40k game where you can have a Howling Banshee in your party. Like, most of the ones that give you an elf for the group it is a sniper or sharpshooter or some other flavour of long range.
It would be so funny to go "Oh yeah, I have an Eldar in my group, there they are." And it is a whirlwind of blades and screams.
Is abadon gonna win? Wait the genestealers from off the top rope?! RKO FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!
Go Genestealers !
You guys are great, I've watched almost every video you have on youtube and you guys got me to buy the caine omnibus book which I DID NOT know was 750+ pages! haha...
Genestealers!!! 🧬👖
Koda is right. Abadon has to wait til 13th.
Gene Stealers next!
Genestealers!
Still voting on genestealers! Need to see our favourite planetary governor Stooge in the field again.
"I love life, but with you I draw the line.
Not to flaunt my superior design, but next to you, I'm practically divine."
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Cockroach
I think this pretty much sums up the Eldar view of humanity.
Jeanstealers next pretty please and thank you! i must see that Koda fit fully realized
Genestealers!!
I love how the shelves behind them are gradually filling up. Who knows what the next item will be... We should have a poll for what should go in one of them 😀. Maybe a primarch model!
"licking their lips"... Internal debate... Yeah my brain went the same place.... Shudders
Fun idea for the future sight Eldar and how to write him. Since he can see the possibilities, there's the story. You don't write what happens because that's a given with him involved but write what could have happened in several different versions as he figures out the best course of action.
I believe there was a passage for the Eldar that talked about a Craftworld Farseer that had her mask slip, recalling the crime she had done as a Howling Banshee. She had killed a mother and her child in her psychopathic mindset, and remembering that was paralyzingly horrific for her. The masks are a necessary thing, even if they end up doing some dark stuff while under certain ones.
I was like half paying attention then Koda mentioned Xenoblade and my brain immediately locked in lmfao
Great vid as always
Down with the Despoiler, the Day of Ascencion is at hand! Praised be the Patriach!
I will rail for Alpha Legion April Fools' to the bitter, bitter end! Do not betray the Masters of Betrayal!
Glad to see the Aeldari get some more stuff, I really hope GW follows suits and gives Ceogorach's Fools some love.
GENESTEALERS!!!! Because I want to see Koda do what’s essentially a Best Jeanist cosplay
Also, I can always smell when it's gonna rain where I live, I've been here for 30 years.
51:00 eldar doing mental gymnastics to justify terrible things was not something I expected
The warp is an acausal loop/ closed timelike curve. Basically a blown out butthole of 2 wormholes on either end of time in their own dimension. The warp changes as the knot of now moves along the tunnel of time.
Head cannon only but best explanation I have for the warp.
Genestealers must win! If not to spite Abbadon, then to spite Isyander!
Genestealers of course!!
Also, I'd love a look at the Eldar gods, like Isha and Khaine!
Isyander should steal koda's jean jacket so that he can be a jean stealer for the next episode.
GENESTEALERRRRZZZ (rock scream voice)
Regarding writing stories with characters with foresight: Just let us look at "The infinite and the divine", i mean Orikan can't really see into the future, but also can kinda prevent it when it wont fit how he likes it... and that book was written awesomely with that.
LETSSS GOOOOOOOO! Abbadon for his 13th poll! So I guess genestealers till then
Was gonna say Abadon, but I want him to have his 13th pole as well.
Give
ME
GENE-STEALERS!!!!!
Gotta see the gene stealers. When you guys described a hive fleet invasion it made me laugh so hard
It is the genestealers day of ascension. Please do an episode they are so under rated
I would write Magnus as a What If book. He just sits in his room examining possible future's in detail.
I imagine Maugen in the Eye with "Dragula" by Rob Zombie BLASTING while he retrieves said craftworld.
Need to write a 40K Time loop novel that's final page is basically "and this is how the Eldar win that battle in 500 years"
