600K its BASICALLY here, a HUGE thanks to everyone for all their support through the many many years. Never imagined the channel would reach this size, also comically for me GW today posted an article about the Yncarne... lol this is why I try to not make vids that are instantly answered by current events. Either WAY, I think this vid has some interesting discussion points. I think this vid has something for everyone today, and I'll have more coming up soon.
Congratulations Luetin09 I've been an old supporter of the channel, hell your UA-cam channel was the one that introduced me to WH40K. If there something that has changed about this channel its quality,you produce the best WH40K videos out there .
Thank you for all your hard work Luetin09!! I know you have gone through voice box issues and it can't be the easiest of processes to go through but you keep pushing through it with sheer determination and will power. I appreciate every video you post and will be a subscriber for life. Great work as always!!! Love the bloody conent!!
you are the best , excellent voice ,great research, great script, it keeps the ears glued to the speakers when building my models. (would love to see more of your armies in progress btw)😊
I listen to your channel on long drives (living in the Highlands of Scotland, there are plenty of them) they are easy listening and simple yet informative enough for me as someone who does not play 40k at all and only enjoys the lore.
I feel this a lot being in Alaska with a basically daily drive into town of 30 minutes when weather is good and having something to keep my mind entertained when weather is bad in winter and I have to drive less than 40 mph the whole way to town is a great thing. That being said for some reason the tyranid videos are a wonderful sleep aid the nightmare fuel that they are but they let me look at 40k in this lore context as more of a ecosystem which fascinates me. Something that I have both been interested in and speculating about because of going over your tyranid content again is the the fact that there are ships that were abandoned in the mid 30k range. Now while this both can make sense to me with the speculation of a force such as the eldari or necron maybe stopping a ship This almost doesn’t make sense. While the shadow in the warp is powerful there would be evidence of a hive fleet that ship would be traveling with ravaging stuff which there isn’t at least mentioned from my knowledge. So that really leaves me to speculate two things ( which is a lot of fun in a verse like 40k) something like this incursion happened in a time and place removed from the imperium where a race like the eldari may be able to influence or repair the destruction depending on their power and the influence of chaos at the time. Then the other side which I find far more interesting and potentially sinister to speculate about which is a predator/destroyer of the tyranids which specifically targets fleets and occasionally misses a ship here of there going into a forced hibernation/dead state. This would almost explain some of the more bizarre, sinister and powerful native lifeforms on certain planets that are have presumed to have descended from tyranids cut off from fleets. I know this is some serious rambling but stuff like this and the biology of 40k is fascinating especially the potential of presumed predator solely of the known apex the tyranids and their ability to potentially shape the universe by keeping sectors unknowingly from getting wiped by hunting fleets in the shadow of the warp that holds all inside within the confines of their own mind and what they can see in the shadow in the warp.
I feel very much the same friend I don't play. Never played. But I love the lore. Such a dark future full of war and primitive needs and desires. Will humanity ever change.
I've actually reached a point where your videos have become an auto-sleep button for me, I don't know why but Im now conditioned to fall asleep quicker with your vids, not to imply they're boring. Thanks for keeping my sleep schedule on track!
It can lead to strange dreams about nurgle though. The emperor must have been pleased though I went out in a frenzy of gun fire and girly screaming haha
I love this community, I love how the lore is slowly becoming more popular that the OG tabletop. Thank you for slamming out these epic videos LT. Truly the Emporers Gift.
that's because tabletop is simply too expensive to get into. it doesn't have that in-built culture of "fuck official minis, just use literally anything you have around" that D&D does
@@CH-bd6jg Well.. but it's the players that shape the culture. I feel like social media has also fucked the tabletop a bit. Everyone seen the videos and expectations are very high. You feel like you need a huge army, professionally painted, you need a whole hobby room, a playtable, an airbrush.. all that expensive stuff. And when you play you need to follow the meta, build a tournament list and of course buy all the newest stuff and models.. When in reality you can play with whatever is around, make your own rules and have fun making the game your own. Unfortunately that spirit is not reflected on social media and therefore forgotten. People just repeat whatever they are shown.
@@earlgrey2130 that's the problem in everything these days... People only play what is meta instead of just enjoying themselves. I played 40k mostly in second edition and we used to have some wild games. We would regularly make up rules or scenarios. And since this was the 90s in Ireland and we were kids we often made cardboard versions of tanks etc. I used to field a "land raider" made out of a margarine tub in those days 😂
Ironically what they were purifying didn't have to do with sex, not that they were lewd. They didn't think the head of state should be in charge of the church..fast forward to covid and we're having the same conflict, so they're still relevant
Puritans ruined America before it was even a separate nation from the British Empire, with their religious extremism coloring the laws and culture of the US for centuries to come.
@@WASDLeftClick you've got a funny way of acknowledging that they're the reason for the Revolution and Constitution. You wouldn't have America without them. What you and the other guys here are spouting is just what you've been indoctrinated with by a decidedly anti Christian public school system
You've become the premier Warhammer 40K lore channel. And you've managed to do this in an engaging way. I absolutely love how mysterious you keep the Blackstone fortresses or ancient lore. GW should be helping you out. You done more for the fanbase (single handedly), than many official marketing.
Your talk about eldar tech is quite true. In the Leviathan omnibus the first book (forgive me i don't have the title) the scouring of Dûriel the forces of iyanden and biel-tan comment that their own world killing capabilities have been lost to time and exterminatus of the planet isn't possible. The drukhari come to their aid and deliver to them lost tech; a Fireheart. A doomsday exterminatus weapon from before The Fall. Not only do they use it... but they REMEMBER it and after are able to create them. In the same story craftworld iyanden is growing an aspect temple that had been extinct on the craftworld for over a millennium... the wraithlord exarch comments that its just as he remembered it... he's corrected that it's just as Iyanden itself remembers it. It's terribly wrong to think of the craftworlds as ships... as tools... they are alive; or so close to alive as to challenge the convention.
@@Nyctophora I should really get to reading that novel last novel I read was about asurmen and he died as soon as he enters battlefield and and sucks in one of the guardians souls and is like "i life once more" like in a video game you know. Haven't touched eldar novels ever since. :D
Excellent the loremaster has blessed us with more content! Your content is the reason I've got back into 40k after many years out of it. Thank you Luetin
*I can highly recommend the Dark Eldar book(s).* _About the tabletop rules:_ Tau can one-shot a Primarch. Astra Militarum are stronger than Orcs. Chaos Marines are weaker than Spacemarines. Robust Girlyman has 3 modes while some primarchs have none. Tyranids stats are OP every time. _Accurate_
Shouldn't Chaos Space Marines be weaker than Loyalist ones? They only have tech invented prior to the Horus Heresy, and they have no logistics base so they only have what they've maintained. They're also less disciplined and organized except maybe the Iron Warriors.
@@0sm1um76 Chaos Marines are often veterans of innumerable wars, generally living lives of constant strife, raids, battles and planetary assaults. They adhere to hierarchies of strength, punishment and domination which breeds the strongest. Many books also describe how they understand the need to rely on their chapters or bands to stay strong lest they fall apart, despite rivalries and have banter, train and practise like loyalists. Although arguments can be made against unit cohesion, many loyalist chapters also lack in that regard. Chaos marines do have more individuals, lack synergy but need to work together effectively. Madness and desires are one of their weaknesses. Finally, they are often warp-blessed, giving them sight, endurance, strength, powers and resilience: allowing them to use foul and dirty tricks.
The "Imperium's worst defeats, 1&2", were among the first of your lore vids I saw. Their mixture of disparate stories amidst this verse I found extremely appealing. I've been ever hopeful of a 3rd installment or a "Hardest Won Battles". Even so, excellent video. Just what I needed this evening, thank you.
I read "pre-ramble" instead of preamble and thought to myself well that fits ^^ just kidding luetin sir i enjoy every piece of new material you bless us with, thanks for all your hard work! :)
Couldn't agree more, I couldn't imagine much worse than Games Workshop going full multiverse. Deaths stop meaning anything, impossible situations are easily undone and deux ex machina solutions are around every corner.
Well, in a way it used to be. Before the universe got so fleshed out, it was "person does thing" then it turned into "person in place does thing with this result, circa ### m41" That made a lot better but completely ruined certain aspects. It used to be anything could be anything at anytime. Books could say "we forgot how to make this, it is made on this planet and here is how" and both points would be true. It was intentionally contradictory. Imagine if Guilliman was both dead and alive in the modern time. He is dead because its all rumor, the dark half of the rift says no. But the throne side says he is alive but its mostly Cawl saying it and we all know how much shananigans he does *cough* ai clones of himself *cough* Or that cadia exploded but cadian recruits keep coming from somewhere for thousands of years. Complete lies and absolute truths. I miss old 40k, you could have debates on whether or not something happened.
@@TherealTenmanI What you described is nothing like a multiverse, it's just uncertainty. This is still the state of 40k lore, perhaps even more so now that there are so many sources of lore that they can't help but contradict each other (authors can't be up to date on every piece of lore from every previous piece of 40k media without taking an apprenticeship under Luetin, and even that might not be enough). A multiverse is almost the opposite of uncertainty, in a way. It means that everything can be 100% true simultaneously, even when two things directly contradict. Your example of Guilliman being both alive and dead depending on who you believe is still closer to how things work in current 40k. In a multiverse, both would be totally true, as there would be a universe in which he is alive and one in which he is dead (or infinite universes with him alive and infinite with him dead, if you want to get technical)
@@seanmadson8524 a multiverse is nonsense. There is only universe. If the real or fictional setting has parallel dimensions or timelines its still one universe. The moment the definition expands, that is now called universe. Its in the name. In 40k we know it has 2 concurrent "universes" 40k and fantasy. They share the same gods. Some people get moved between them like that one grey knight or that one genestealer playing blood bowl. Having contradictory statements with both being true is the way it was. The information, from the one book, the militarum tank one for example, would contradict itself in the same paragraph. The tank cannot be built for the knowledge is lost, it is built on planet blah and the other mechanicus hate it because its not a real baneblade. Necrons are mindless husks, they are also silly Egyptian dynasties. Dark eldar are all horrible, except for the ones that are trying to fix the universe. A necron novel will have the Imperium be the unstoppable force. A human novel will have necrons be that. Both are true. Readers used to know if the necron were defeated they were severely malfunctioning. We used to know prayer and faith was useless as well as the most potent force in the universe. It depends on the wiles of the warp and level of confidence. "Oh but a multiverse is both are true." Incorrect. In one timeline, it is true. In the other timeline it is false. They are seperate and do not interact. If the emperor is alive and walking in one timeline that does not interact with any other timeline. Its also impossible to follow "the" story if they arent labeled. Marvel has a baseline universe and it is numbered. 40k has no such thing. Marvel also has clearly labeled cross over events and what ifs. 40k does not. 40k runs on "Don't worry about it" after all, lasguns are weak and stronger than modern IRL tank cannons, cant even hurt space marines and can kill them if they hit the eye lens. Are ultramarines the best or are they blue and the orks make them lucky? Both are true. People used to be smart enough to tell that difference instead of being trapped by a buzzword. Like "the 40k verse" oh its music now is it? No, leutin means 40k universe. He is just using a silly word for some reason. Since everything is now labeled for year, the theme is undermined. Thank The Emperor Guilliman said that line about heretical history and what year it is. Otherwise canon would be canon and no one would have fun.
@@TherealTenmanI You seem to entirely misunderstand what I mean when I say multiverse. I'm being more specific than the broadest sense of the definition. A multiverse in this instance (the way it is generally used in modern media) refers to the idea that there are multiple separate universes within a franchise, yet the separation is able to be overcome to some extent in ways that differ from franchise to franchise. The Warhammer fantasy universe, as far as I'm aware, does not fit this definition. I don't believe it is suggested in anything official that the fantasy and 40k universes can be traveled between (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). The Spiderman movie involving more than one Spiderman is a prime example of what I'm referring to when I say multiverse, as these separate universes are able to connect due to being part of a larger shared oververse. By the way, I'm not sure if you are insinuating that I want any kind of timeline intersection or other multiverse business, but if you are, I assure you I don't want anything of the sort. I don't even want time travel, but I put up with that because even with that making things messy, the 40k verse still has enough appeal to make up for it.
@@seanmadson8524 oh well. Have fun with the year old comment. Read it till it makes sense. Because it does. You didn't get the other half of what I said and just focused on what you missed from the original comment as well. You also claim i misunderstand you despite referencing marvels numerated universes... sure bud. Im the one missing a point. But nah, have fun responding to year old comments you don't bother understanding.
Yes, finally my pointy ear boys of death get the treatment from the lore master. Finally finished it. I love the Ynnari. And my reasoning is because they don’t give a f*ck. They know slannash sucks and they hate her, so they are focused on killing her. If the whole galaxy dies fine. That is okay, everything can die as long as slannash dies as well.
@@zanir2387 I think he deals with them twice. In the first book, For the Emperor and in another The Greater Good (which I haven't read yet). Mixed feels in the first book. Sees them as strange but gets along well enough with a couple of the Tau diplomats. Impressed by their technology. Meets a Kroot that he hits it off with and finds it somewhat discerning that the Kroot seems able to read him better than most humans. He kind of takes a soldiers view of things and says once or twice "In the end a exo is a exo, and who knows why they do anything." As always, despite his self-proclaimed self-interested motivates (which are as always somewhat at odds with his actions) he is always loyal to the Imperium. Edit: He is a Commissar and is part of the Commissariat so he is not part of the Astra Militarum or it's chain of command but instead attached to various regiments of the AM. Edit 2: the Commissariat also attaches Commissars to the Adeptus Astartes. Cain also serves alongside some of them for a time.
I am so busy and stressed these days that I have no time for fun or respite, but at night time when I lie in bed and put on one of your videos, I immediately relax and it's like a little break as I fall asleep
It was stated in one of the phoenix lord audio dramas the eldar generally live for 20000 years. So barely half a lifetime has passed since the fall. The eldar are refugees within living memory as it were of their empire. That so little has survived shows how total their fall was.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you think about it. They would then, if most of them were alive before the fall, know how powerful humanity was before Long Night. You would think that instead of being disgusted and hateful towards mankind, they would have a fear, considering humanity *won* a war with the Eldar in the Dark Age of Technology.
@@algorithmgeneratedanimegir1286 the 1st phoenix lord novel states that virtually every eldar who actually experienced the fall and survived died within first few centuries of the event. Virtually every craftworlder, exodite and corsair today were born after the fall. They are living must faster than their ancestors and are dying young. They are not getting a chance to died of old age. Furthermore any fear They had of humanity was lost when they witnessed the age of strife occur. That threat was eliminate for them.
The way I figure it, the dregs that survived the birth of Slaanesh were probably those least psychically powerful among the Aeldar. This would be why so much of their power, that being their psychic ability as opposed to humanity and its technology, was lost so irrevocably.
Started listening to the horus heresy after one of your videos popped up in my suggestions a year ago. Now on book 54 and have loved the journey. Thank you Loremaster and appreciate you bringing 40k to the masses.
Just want to say that you are literally the only youtuber that I've kept notifications on for. Love your lore insight, love your voice. You are the best!
Just a thought and a question, are there some worlds held by chaos where they were either taken over by a chaos cult that they have government officials and the citizens of those planets are going about their daily lives. Like say the chaos cults are either slaanesh, tzeentch, Nurgle maybe not Knorne. Just curious, because I’ve heard some worlds held by chaos that the people are able to work and go about their daily lives while supplying the armies the chaos.
I’m so glad you are discussing GatheringStorm- I just bought a huge set on eBay with all the models and books for the event and I was SO HAPPY that I did. (Did anyone notice the names in the clock style inner boxes for the set? The other perpetuals and I haven’t seen anyone talk about it)
Seeing that there is a new Luetin video is always a nice thing. But the joy to see that the new one is almost one hour long brings me dangerously close to becoming a Slaanesh heretic myself, although not exactly voluntary. Yes, Commissar, that man over there wanted me to fall to the ruinous powers!
I've always loved the Eldar and the new Necron stuff. Hopefully we'll see some more information on them in the future. The remnants of the war in Heaven and what they do now in the universe that they once lost is really interesting.
I finally did it. I caught up to the 40k lore playlist. Been listening during work and must thank you for making my job that makes me feel like a servitor go by faster.
This is why I'm always ready for more Luetin content. I have never had more reasons to be interested in what the Eldar are doing and where they will go after this. Astonishing depth and background, from source material that isn't even available to most of us anymore, that gives context to where 40k is heading. Nobody else doing 40k content hits this hard or goes this distance. Thanks again for this Luetin.
I think you're right, it is confusing where to start and then where to go next. I started with the Horus Heresy books, I'm only on book 19 Know No Fear, but I'm really trying to power through them because now I want to know the present timeline already even though there's so many to get through still. So I'm not sure where to go next.
Hi, Luetin. Long time viewer here. You're the best and keep up the good work. Also, I wish the Eldar were more expanded in lore. To be fair, I wish all xenos races got more new lore.
I got back in 40k recently. Find out about this channel watching Eric's hobby ws. I can relate to your path in warhammer, starting young, warhammer world was so small, internet wasn't this unlimited source of infos. And now as a grown up everything got bigger and expanded beyond what I can catch up in my hobby time but.. You sir have done something outstanding with this channel. I almost painted 1000pts dark angels listening to your lore videos. And those where so addicting that I started to listening those even in my car while going to work. Not enough words to describe how many good things there are in this channel, just want to say thanks. You deserve more souls, I mean subscribers!
The Twice Dead King have quickly become two of my favourite books. I think part of the problem with the perceived lack of popularity of Xenos books comes from GW being a victim (read perpetrator) of their own marketing success and thus popularity. They really should go back and commission the Aeldari books as audio books, they're so much easier to digest than sitting and reading. Don't tell my boss but I listen to them while operating my forklift at work :P
Great stuff and I have said the Eldar are not a huge threat right now but if they freed Isha, reformed Khaine or Awakened a new God they would be a force to be scared of.
Gotta tell you, my good friend, I get everything that's not in a very select band of novels directly from you. That makes a good 60 or 70 percent of WH40k from your lips to my ear. So, many, many thanks.
Slaanesh is that friend you have at uni that you love to party with at first until they have had too much to drink and take things too far and you end up getting dragged along with all the nasty stuff they do.
as have being described as such a character you give us way to much credit in conciouss wickedness and corruption of your sweet, pure souls. it just proves it exists within you too..
Luetin you are single-handedly the reason why I am interested in warhammer at all, lore, games, all of it. But I am now 20 minutes into this video and I truly feel like you have not said or thought me anything worth knowing. This channel is filled to the brimm with great storytelling but lately its been 40mins worth of anecdotes. I don't know if I can listen to much more of this kind if content
I would love to get into the books but I'm one of those people that NEEDS to watch/read/listen to things in chronological order of events and as you've mentioned many times 40k Lore is all over the place. Thank God for you and your channel.
OMG!!! You have NO idea how excited I was to get the notification for this video! Thank you for always making AWESOME videos. You've got a fan for life.
Eldar books I have read are hard reads, the way they communicate makes for very dense paragraphs of the current character telling us how minor inflections of another character told him various things. I think if they do more Eldar books they should take a note from how the Sisters of Silence were handled in The Master of Mankind to make it less tedious to read.
Eldar were my first army back in 3rd. And after a long break from the hobby and getting back into it with the new Range of Sisters, I'm really hyped to paint some galaxy-threatining pointy ears again. Enjoy your ride with that Ynnari force of yours!
I don’t get excited like this about any other channel. It’s the anticipation of not knowing when the video is going to come, good voice, good content and the endless pit of lore that Warhammer is, that keeps me checking my subscription tab every single day without fail. You probably won’t see this, but I hope you know you have cracked such a good formula for entertainment. Thanks.
I've never played any warhammer video game or table top or PC, Ive been watching your videos for the story/lore summarization. Ive tried to watch other creator content but Ive been spoiled by your way of addressing and explanation. The first video I watched of yours was: THE WORST FATE IN 40K- THE DAEMONCULABA and I was hooked!
I first started playing 40k in 1997 with a small mix match painted eldar force that i found at a garage sale. From there i devouted to painting a ulthwe force. Ynarri gave me some hope for the eldar
I’d love to see videos that go into extreme detail about each of the individual Chaos Gods. When they formed, how they behave, and their history and actions.
So I just had a wild thought, you mentioned time travel and it got me thinking what if when the emperor of man went into the warp and went back in time to cause slaanesh to be born I. The first place so as to super weaken the Eldar. And why the chaos gods took the promarch as payback for making a new choas god
The old human empire probably wouldn't have fallen if Slaanesh never existed. They would have recovered from the men of iron if not for the warp storms caused by the development of Slaanesh. The emperor would have no reason to set humanity back tens of thousands of years and into the brink of extinction.
Thank you for diving a lot more into xenos lore lately , to be honest after a while the whole '' God Emperor , exterminatus , only in death does duty end , brrrrrr'' that the Imperium is , can become redundant and boring . Nothing anybody can do about it since the Imperium is the biggest seller , but lately i found myself drawn more and more towards the Aeldari lore even design ,so this video (all your videos in fact ) is a very welcomed breath of fresh air .
Nice!! To have this threshold-post land shortly after the truly epic Oculus Imperia’s Vyka Fenryka video, a few weeks after his 2nd Anniversary post makes Jeff a happy kid 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼 Sterling work, Luetin; many thanks…
I'm not too keen on the idea that Slannesh could/would fuse with Ynnead to form a more balanced entity. It is one thing for the Eldari gods to fuse together and perhaps deploy some sort of shield for the Eldari race's souls. Kind of like an Astronomicon for the Eldari, but instead of enhancing Warp travel, it would protect individual souls from being consumed by Slannesh. This would effectively realize what the first edition promised as the hope for the race. Slannesh still being active, but her ability to devour Eldari souls blunted somewhat. This would obviously be a great boon for the Eldari but would also keep Slannesh alive and well as one of the Gods of Chaos.
I agree, Slaanesh being 'defeated' somehow would make very little sense considering what the chaos gods are supposed to be - the coalescing of emotions in the warp in to cosmic beings of unimaginable power and scale. As if all the lust, pleasure, perfection, pain, and excess would just be gone from the galaxy or no longer represented in the warp?
I may not have played any of the 40k content yet but I do play RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, star wars, Rift, et cetera. About a year ago I began fleshing out a homebrew campaign system using good game mechanics from each system and combined them for my realm. I love the lore of warhammer and the different races at play. Taking the concepts of each faction and the overall esthetic of their race and molded them to my campaign setting. For example the race known as the "Warforged" I use as the base template for my concept of Necrons, for the Eldar are easily elves but with a complete revamp an overhaul of what that race is. So I gotta say thank you for your videos it opened up a blockage of creativity for me and got me interested enough to spend $400 so far on models and books.
I've subscribed a bit over 3 months now and I've gotten into the lore because of your vids. The way you make things so clear that even a newbie could understand is beyond amazing and I am thankful to you for your skill. Please continue I've all but consumed hours upon hours of your content. Ps. I'm up to date because of you, thanks luetin!
congrats Luetin 600k Christ man when started watching u had big e part 1 fall of eldar and ancient war pleasure going on this ride with you and baldermort are the best lore masters on the web looking forward to what u talk about yet
Playing my video game Exiled Kingdoms while listening. Thought I had reduced music volume to 0, but there was the game's music playing again... Checked settings, music is off... Damn, turns out Luetin's playing my game's music in his video background loll.
Finally decided to start reading the books so i bought the three heresy books to start with. i really like your opinions and speculation on the series so thank you for being the encouragment i needed to finally start reading the lore and literature rather than just playing the tabletop games and pc games.
I've been watching your videos recently and I love them thank you for the indepth deep dives into the lore of this universe as a lore master of the elder scrolls universe it brings a smile to my face to see such fine work on another series
Sometimes i wonder which faction of chaos i'd chose to fall victim to and which ones i'd prefer to join. Right now if feel like falling victim to Khorne would be preferable over any other faction and i'd probably wanna join slaneesh. But i'm not sure about joining slaneesh. Something tells me that i'd regret that immediately.
If that girl containing the elder gods soul fragment was to use her power to absorb the souls of other aeldari containing god soul fragments... Would that be a way for her to transcend into godhood? Could she then fight slannesh as only "a god can hurt a god."
Maybe, but it could make for a bit of putting all the aeldari eggs in one basket if that’s their plan. The eldar are desperate to get some wins and it seems like the new eldar god plan could be a way to get a victory, but there is a massive risk to their plan. Because if yvraine and the ynarri fail and slaanesh devours their souls(which likely he/she/it would), unless somehow it was part of some grand plan(like giving it cosmic indigestion), it’s absolute death sentence for the aeldari and drukari as a species. Because you just gave slaanesh a much more powerful soul and one that could help slaanesh fully succeed at devouring the rest of the aeldari souls and their few surviving gods. Which feels in line with the status quo, where the eldar are still barely clinging desperately to life and power in the face of oblivion.
MY BOY HIT 600k!!!! It's been a wild ride so far I love your videos man you deserve the subs! I know a few big names like FPS russia enjoy your vids and I've even heard a few guys at work listening to your videos. keep it up man this content is awesome
600K its BASICALLY here, a HUGE thanks to everyone for all their support through the many many years. Never imagined the channel would reach this size, also comically for me GW today posted an article about the Yncarne... lol this is why I try to not make vids that are instantly answered by current events. Either WAY, I think this vid has some interesting discussion points. I think this vid has something for everyone today, and I'll have more coming up soon.
Congratulations it is well deserved!
Your channel is my go to for lore in 40k and besides you are a really awesome and engaging presenter
Congratulations Luetin09 I've been an old supporter of the channel, hell your UA-cam channel was the one that introduced me to WH40K.
If there something that has changed about this channel its quality,you produce the best WH40K videos out there .
Thank you for all your hard work Luetin09!! I know you have gone through voice box issues and it can't be the easiest of processes to go through but you keep pushing through it with sheer determination and will power. I appreciate every video you post and will be a subscriber for life. Great work as always!!! Love the bloody conent!!
you are the best , excellent voice ,great research, great script, it keeps the ears glued to the speakers when building my models.
(would love to see more of your armies in progress btw)😊
I listen to your channel on long drives (living in the Highlands of Scotland, there are plenty of them) they are easy listening and simple yet informative enough for me as someone who does not play 40k at all and only enjoys the lore.
I hear you ive been putting his videos on as i edit my video and its really intresting
I played the Tau game on ps2 and the chess game on iphone but yes- mainly here for the lore and trust me: nobody does it better than L.
I feel this a lot being in Alaska with a basically daily drive into town of 30 minutes when weather is good and having something to keep my mind entertained when weather is bad in winter and I have to drive less than 40 mph the whole way to town is a great thing. That being said for some reason the tyranid videos are a wonderful sleep aid the nightmare fuel that they are but they let me look at 40k in this lore context as more of a ecosystem which fascinates me. Something that I have both been interested in and speculating about because of going over your tyranid content again is the the fact that there are ships that were abandoned in the mid 30k range. Now while this both can make sense to me with the speculation of a force such as the eldari or necron maybe stopping a ship This almost doesn’t make sense. While the shadow in the warp is powerful there would be evidence of a hive fleet that ship would be traveling with ravaging stuff which there isn’t at least mentioned from my knowledge. So that really leaves me to speculate two things ( which is a lot of fun in a verse like 40k) something like this incursion happened in a time and place removed from the imperium where a race like the eldari may be able to influence or repair the destruction depending on their power and the influence of chaos at the time. Then the other side which I find far more interesting and potentially sinister to speculate about which is a predator/destroyer of the tyranids which specifically targets fleets and occasionally misses a ship here of there going into a forced hibernation/dead state. This would almost explain some of the more bizarre, sinister and powerful native lifeforms on certain planets that are have presumed to have descended from tyranids cut off from fleets. I know this is some serious rambling but stuff like this and the biology of 40k is fascinating especially the potential of presumed predator solely of the known apex the tyranids and their ability to potentially shape the universe by keeping sectors unknowingly from getting wiped by hunting fleets in the shadow of the warp that holds all inside within the confines of their own mind and what they can see in the shadow in the warp.
I feel very much the same friend I don't play. Never played. But I love the lore. Such a dark future full of war and primitive needs and desires. Will humanity ever change.
Same here but I drive in Japan and … did play when the Emperor was a child.
I've actually reached a point where your videos have become an auto-sleep button for me, I don't know why but Im now conditioned to fall asleep quicker with your vids, not to imply they're boring. Thanks for keeping my sleep schedule on track!
Sleep team assemble
I'm here
It can lead to strange dreams about nurgle though. The emperor must have been pleased though I went out in a frenzy of gun fire and girly screaming haha
Same, such a relaxing voice, I love it.

@@Julian_The_Apostate content with dying for the emporer. Just saying i understand the big head lmao
I love this community, I love how the lore is slowly becoming more popular that the OG tabletop. Thank you for slamming out these epic videos LT. Truly the Emporers Gift.
that's because tabletop is simply too expensive to get into. it doesn't have that in-built culture of "fuck official minis, just use literally anything you have around" that D&D does
@@CH-bd6jg Well.. but it's the players that shape the culture. I feel like social media has also fucked the tabletop a bit. Everyone seen the videos and expectations are very high. You feel like you need a huge army, professionally painted, you need a whole hobby room, a playtable, an airbrush.. all that expensive stuff. And when you play you need to follow the meta, build a tournament list and of course buy all the newest stuff and models..
When in reality you can play with whatever is around, make your own rules and have fun making the game your own. Unfortunately that spirit is not reflected on social media and therefore forgotten. People just repeat whatever they are shown.
Tabletop is pretty much just for 1st world people due the extreme costs of everything related
@@earlgrey2130 that's the problem in everything these days... People only play what is meta instead of just enjoying themselves. I played 40k mostly in second edition and we used to have some wild games. We would regularly make up rules or scenarios. And since this was the 90s in Ireland and we were kids we often made cardboard versions of tanks etc. I used to field a "land raider" made out of a margarine tub in those days 😂
@@capturedflame hahaha, we would have called them "beardy" for playing an army like that. It was a different time for sure.
When the puritans were freaking out hundreds of years ago, I'm sure they were panicking about Slaanesh
Ironically what they were purifying didn't have to do with sex, not that they were lewd. They didn't think the head of state should be in charge of the church..fast forward to covid and we're having the same conflict, so they're still relevant
Puritans ruined America before it was even a separate nation from the British Empire, with their religious extremism coloring the laws and culture of the US for centuries to come.
So the Amish were/are freaking out about Tzeentch?

You've become the premier Warhammer 40K lore channel.
And you've managed to do this in an engaging way. I absolutely love how mysterious you keep the Blackstone fortresses or ancient lore.
GW should be helping you out. You done more for the fanbase (single handedly), than many official marketing.
Sad thing is there appeared many leeches that are spamming UA-cam with low quality lore, which makes finding this kind of food content harder.
Your talk about eldar tech is quite true. In the Leviathan omnibus the first book (forgive me i don't have the title) the scouring of Dûriel the forces of iyanden and biel-tan comment that their own world killing capabilities have been lost to time and exterminatus of the planet isn't possible.
The drukhari come to their aid and deliver to them lost tech; a Fireheart. A doomsday exterminatus weapon from before The Fall. Not only do they use it... but they REMEMBER it and after are able to create them.
In the same story craftworld iyanden is growing an aspect temple that had been extinct on the craftworld for over a millennium... the wraithlord exarch comments that its just as he remembered it... he's corrected that it's just as Iyanden itself remembers it.
It's terribly wrong to think of the craftworlds as ships... as tools... they are alive; or so close to alive as to challenge the convention.
It's _Valedor_ by Guy Haley, the best Craftworld Eldar novel imo (though every other kind is in there too) :)
@@Nyctophora I should really get to reading that novel last novel I read was about asurmen and he died as soon as he enters battlefield and and sucks in one of the guardians souls and is like "i life once more" like in a video game you know. Haven't touched eldar novels ever since. :D
i mean they are vessel for souls so not surprising they have life.
Excellent the loremaster has blessed us with more content! Your content is the reason I've got back into 40k after many years out of it. Thank you Luetin
*I can highly recommend the Dark Eldar book(s).*
_About the tabletop rules:_
Tau can one-shot a Primarch.
Astra Militarum are stronger than Orcs.
Chaos Marines are weaker than Spacemarines.

@@Aconspiracyofravens1 And yet somehow, paradoxically, they are all true too.
@@joshbull623 40K in a nutshell
Shouldn't Chaos Space Marines be weaker than Loyalist ones?
They only have tech invented prior to the Horus Heresy, and they have no logistics base so they only have what they've maintained. They're also less disciplined and organized except maybe the Iron Warriors.
@@0sm1um76 Chaos Marines are often veterans of innumerable wars, generally living lives of constant strife, raids, battles and planetary assaults.
They adhere to hierarchies of strength, punishment and domination which breeds the strongest. Many books also describe how they understand the need to rely on their chapters or bands to stay strong lest they fall apart, despite rivalries and have banter, train and practise like loyalists.
Although arguments can be made against unit cohesion, many loyalist chapters also lack in that regard. Chaos marines do have more individuals, lack synergy but need to work together effectively. Madness and desires are one of their weaknesses.
Finally, they are often warp-blessed, giving them sight, endurance, strength, powers and resilience: allowing them to use foul and dirty tricks.
I LOVE when you talk about eldar! You really express how fascinating they really are, and they deserve more fans!
The "Imperium's worst defeats, 1&2", were among the first of your lore vids I saw. Their mixture of disparate stories amidst this verse I found extremely appealing.
I've been ever hopeful of a 3rd installment or a "Hardest Won Battles".
Even so, excellent video. Just what I needed this evening, thank you.
You're the only content creator that actually makes my day better by uploading a video! Thanks buddy.
I read "pre-ramble" instead of preamble and thought to myself well that fits ^^ just kidding luetin sir i enjoy every piece of new material you bless us with, thanks for all your hard work! :)
Couldn't agree more, I couldn't imagine much worse than Games Workshop going full multiverse. Deaths stop meaning anything, impossible situations are easily undone and deux ex machina solutions are around every corner.
Well, in a way it used to be.
Before the universe got so fleshed out, it was "person does thing" then it turned into "person in place does thing with this result, circa ### m41"
That made a lot better but completely ruined certain aspects.
It used to be anything could be anything at anytime. Books could say "we forgot how to make this, it is made on this planet and here is how" and both points would be true. It was intentionally contradictory.
Imagine if Guilliman was both dead and alive in the modern time. He is dead because its all rumor, the dark half of the rift says no. But the throne side says he is alive but its mostly Cawl saying it and we all know how much shananigans he does *cough* ai clones of himself *cough*
Or that cadia exploded but cadian recruits keep coming from somewhere for thousands of years.
Complete lies and absolute truths.
I miss old 40k, you could have debates on whether or not something happened.
@@TherealTenmanI What you described is nothing like a multiverse, it's just uncertainty. This is still the state of 40k lore, perhaps even more so now that there are so many sources of lore that they can't help but contradict each other (authors can't be up to date on every piece of lore from every previous piece of 40k media without taking an apprenticeship under Luetin, and even that might not be enough).
A multiverse is almost the opposite of uncertainty, in a way. It means that everything can be 100% true simultaneously, even when two things directly contradict.
Your example of Guilliman being both alive and dead depending on who you believe is still closer to how things work in current 40k. In a multiverse, both would be totally true, as there would be a universe in which he is alive and one in which he is dead (or infinite universes with him alive and infinite with him dead, if you want to get technical)
@@seanmadson8524 a multiverse is nonsense. There is only universe. If the real or fictional setting has parallel dimensions or timelines its still one universe. The moment the definition expands, that is now called universe. Its in the name.
In 40k we know it has 2 concurrent "universes" 40k and fantasy. They share the same gods. Some people get moved between them like that one grey knight or that one genestealer playing blood bowl.
Having contradictory statements with both being true is the way it was. The information, from the one book, the militarum tank one for example, would contradict itself in the same paragraph. The tank cannot be built for the knowledge is lost, it is built on planet blah and the other mechanicus hate it because its not a real baneblade.
Necrons are mindless husks, they are also silly Egyptian dynasties. Dark eldar are all horrible, except for the ones that are trying to fix the universe.
A necron novel will have the Imperium be the unstoppable force. A human novel will have necrons be that.
Both are true.
Readers used to know if the necron were defeated they were severely malfunctioning. We used to know prayer and faith was useless as well as the most potent force in the universe. It depends on the wiles of the warp and level of confidence.
"Oh but a multiverse is both are true." Incorrect. In one timeline, it is true. In the other timeline it is false. They are seperate and do not interact. If the emperor is alive and walking in one timeline that does not interact with any other timeline. Its also impossible to follow "the" story if they arent labeled. Marvel has a baseline universe and it is numbered. 40k has no such thing. Marvel also has clearly labeled cross over events and what ifs. 40k does not. 40k runs on "Don't worry about it" after all, lasguns are weak and stronger than modern IRL tank cannons, cant even hurt space marines and can kill them if they hit the eye lens. Are ultramarines the best or are they blue and the orks make them lucky? Both are true.
People used to be smart enough to tell that difference instead of being trapped by a buzzword. Like "the 40k verse" oh its music now is it? No, leutin means 40k universe. He is just using a silly word for some reason.
Since everything is now labeled for year, the theme is undermined. Thank The Emperor Guilliman said that line about heretical history and what year it is. Otherwise canon would be canon and no one would have fun.
@@TherealTenmanI You seem to entirely misunderstand what I mean when I say multiverse. I'm being more specific than the broadest sense of the definition. A multiverse in this instance (the way it is generally used in modern media) refers to the idea that there are multiple separate universes within a franchise, yet the separation is able to be overcome to some extent in ways that differ from franchise to franchise.
The Warhammer fantasy universe, as far as I'm aware, does not fit this definition. I don't believe it is suggested in anything official that the fantasy and 40k universes can be traveled between (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). The Spiderman movie involving more than one Spiderman is a prime example of what I'm referring to when I say multiverse, as these separate universes are able to connect due to being part of a larger shared oververse.
By the way, I'm not sure if you are insinuating that I want any kind of timeline intersection or other multiverse business, but if you are, I assure you I don't want anything of the sort. I don't even want time travel, but I put up with that because even with that making things messy, the 40k verse still has enough appeal to make up for it.
@@seanmadson8524 oh well. Have fun with the year old comment. Read it till it makes sense. Because it does.
You didn't get the other half of what I said and just focused on what you missed from the original comment as well. You also claim i misunderstand you despite referencing marvels numerated universes... sure bud. Im the one missing a point.
But nah, have fun responding to year old comments you don't bother understanding.
Yes, finally my pointy ear boys of death get the treatment from the lore master.
Finally finished it. I love the Ynnari. And my reasoning is because they don’t give a f*ck. They know slannash sucks and they hate her, so they are focused on killing her. If the whole galaxy dies fine. That is okay, everything can die as long as slannash dies as well.
Agreed 👍
Slaanesh is a gift to the universe. They should be happy hey birthed it.
Ciaphas Cain is a great book series. Character driven, and filled with encounters with Tau, Necrons, Orks, Genestealers, Tyranids.
Of course if I'd know the amount of trouble that little comment would lead to, you can bet I would've logged off UA-cam right then and there.
Thanks, from a newbie 4 books in!!
Yes yes . More can books would be amazing .
One of the best characters ever .
question: what opinion had cain of the t'au? i ask since he didn't seems like the other drill sergeants...
@@zanir2387 I think he deals with them twice. In the first book, For the Emperor and in another The Greater Good (which I haven't read yet).
Mixed feels in the first book. Sees them as strange but gets along well enough with a couple of the Tau diplomats. Impressed by their technology. Meets a Kroot that he hits it off with and finds it somewhat discerning that the Kroot seems able to read him better than most humans.
He kind of takes a soldiers view of things and says once or twice "In the end a exo is a exo, and who knows why they do anything." As always, despite his self-proclaimed self-interested motivates (which are as always somewhat at odds with his actions) he is always loyal to the Imperium.
Edit: He is a Commissar and is part of the Commissariat so he is not part of the Astra Militarum or it's chain of command but instead attached to various regiments of the AM.
Edit 2: the Commissariat also attaches Commissars to the Adeptus Astartes. Cain also serves alongside some of them for a time.
Every night I've got a video of yours luling me to sleep. Thanks for another one to add to the insane pile of content.
I am so busy and stressed these days that I have no time for fun or respite, but at night time when I lie in bed and put on one of your videos, I immediately relax and it's like a little break as I fall asleep
It was stated in one of the phoenix lord audio dramas the eldar generally live for 20000 years. So barely half a lifetime has passed since the fall. The eldar are refugees within living memory as it were of their empire. That so little has survived shows how total their fall was.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you think about it. They would then, if most of them were alive before the fall, know how powerful humanity was before Long Night. You would think that instead of being disgusted and hateful towards mankind, they would have a fear, considering humanity *won* a war with the Eldar in the Dark Age of Technology.
@@algorithmgeneratedanimegir1286 the 1st phoenix lord novel states that virtually every eldar who actually experienced the fall and survived died within first few centuries of the event. Virtually every craftworlder, exodite and corsair today were born after the fall. They are living must faster than their ancestors and are dying young. They are not getting a chance to died of old age. Furthermore any fear They had of humanity was lost when they witnessed the age of strife occur. That threat was eliminate for them.
The way I figure it, the dregs that survived the birth of Slaanesh were probably those least psychically powerful among the Aeldar. This would be why so much of their power, that being their psychic ability as opposed to humanity and its technology, was lost so irrevocably.
Just finished up the 40k lore playlist. Thanks for giving me something to listen to and learn on my night shifts
Started listening to the horus heresy after one of your videos popped up in my suggestions a year ago. Now on book 54 and have loved the journey. Thank you Loremaster and appreciate you bringing 40k to the masses.
Man I was just rewatching a bunch of old videos in the background while playing Stellaris and you come out with a new one. That's some perfect timing
Just want to say that you are literally the only youtuber that I've kept notifications on for. Love your lore insight, love your voice. You are the best!
I am in hospital Luetin and your videos have really helped me thank you
Just a thought and a question, are there some worlds held by chaos where they were either taken over by a chaos cult that they have government officials and the citizens of those planets are going about their daily lives. Like say the chaos cults are either slaanesh, tzeentch, Nurgle maybe not Knorne. Just curious, because I’ve heard some worlds held by chaos that the people are able to work and go about their daily lives while supplying the armies the chaos.
Followed by if these worlds were also conquered by a chaos traitor legions along with the cults.
I’m so glad you are discussing GatheringStorm- I just bought a huge set on eBay with all the models and books for the event and I was SO HAPPY that I did. (Did anyone notice the names in the clock style inner boxes for the set? The other perpetuals and I haven’t seen anyone talk about it)
Seeing that there is a new Luetin video is always a nice thing. But the joy to see that the new one is almost one hour long brings me dangerously close to becoming a Slaanesh heretic myself, although not exactly voluntary. Yes, Commissar, that man over there wanted me to fall to the ruinous powers!
I've always loved the Eldar and the new Necron stuff. Hopefully we'll see some more information on them in the future. The remnants of the war in Heaven and what they do now in the universe that they once lost is really interesting.
I liked the clock ticking intro, before getting into end timey stuff. Like your last church video.
I finally did it. I caught up to the 40k lore playlist.
Been listening during work and must thank you for making my job that makes me feel like a servitor go by faster.
This is why I'm always ready for more Luetin content. I have never had more reasons to be interested in what the Eldar are doing and where they will go after this. Astonishing depth and background, from source material that isn't even available to most of us anymore, that gives context to where 40k is heading. Nobody else doing 40k content hits this hard or goes this distance. Thanks again for this Luetin.
My favorite faction, ynnari, getting a dedicated leutin video??? This is going to be so fudging good.
You speak directly from my soul about adjusted timelines Luetin.
I think you're right, it is confusing where to start and then where to go next. I started with the Horus Heresy books, I'm only on book 19 Know No Fear, but I'm really trying to power through them because now I want to know the present timeline already even though there's so many to get through still. So I'm not sure where to go next.
Slaanesh is a huge disturbance in the Warp dimension's flow, akin to a tempest, triggered by certain emotions by beings from the Materium dimension.
Possibly the warp disturbance?
Hi, Luetin. Long time viewer here. You're the best and keep up the good work. Also, I wish the Eldar were more expanded in lore. To be fair, I wish all xenos races got more new lore.
I got back in 40k recently. Find out about this channel watching Eric's hobby ws. I can relate to your path in warhammer, starting young, warhammer world was so small, internet wasn't this unlimited source of infos. And now as a grown up everything got bigger and expanded beyond what I can catch up in my hobby time but..
You sir have done something outstanding with this channel. I almost painted 1000pts dark angels listening to your lore videos. And those where so addicting that I started to listening those even in my car while going to work. Not enough words to describe how many good things there are in this channel, just want to say thanks. You deserve more souls, I mean subscribers!
They all ask "What is Slaneesh ?" or "Why is Slaneesh ?" but they never ask "How is Slaneesh ?" 😢
*Sad reacts only*
😔
😡
Horny.
When is slaanesh??
Slaneesh is warped.
i think ynarri will only grow, and im very happy that it will. Ynarri got me into eldar, finally they arent a stagnant dead race
The Twice Dead King have quickly become two of my favourite books.
I think part of the problem with the perceived lack of popularity of Xenos books comes from GW being a victim (read perpetrator) of their own marketing success and thus popularity.
They really should go back and commission the Aeldari books as audio books, they're so much easier to digest than sitting and reading.
Don't tell my boss but I listen to them while operating my forklift at work :P
Love the dry humour, fits perfectly with the content and your delivery of it
Great stuff and I have said the Eldar are not a huge threat right now but if they freed Isha, reformed Khaine or Awakened a new God they would be a force to be scared of.
Gotta tell you, my good friend, I get everything that's not in a very select band of novels directly from you. That makes a good 60 or 70 percent of WH40k from your lips to my ear.
So, many, many thanks.
Slaanesh is that friend you have at uni that you love to party with at first until they have had too much to drink and take things too far and you end up getting dragged along with all the nasty stuff they do.
Wanna talk about it?
ouch, too close too home... definitely just uni eh... definitely. just. uni.
Hello
as have being described as such a character you give us way to much credit in conciouss wickedness and corruption of your sweet, pure souls. it just proves it exists within you too..
Luetin you are single-handedly the reason why I am interested in warhammer at all, lore, games, all of it. But I am now 20 minutes into this video and I truly feel like you have not said or thought me anything worth knowing. This channel is filled to the brimm with great storytelling but lately its been 40mins worth of anecdotes. I don't know if I can listen to much more of this kind if content
I would love to get into the books but I'm one of those people that NEEDS to watch/read/listen to things in chronological order of events and as you've mentioned many times 40k Lore is all over the place. Thank God for you and your channel.
Luetin is literally the black library incarnate. Love you work and knowledge of everything 40k.
OMG!!! You have NO idea how excited I was to get the notification for this video! Thank you for always making AWESOME videos. You've got a fan for life.
Eldar books I have read are hard reads, the way they communicate makes for very dense paragraphs of the current character telling us how minor inflections of another character told him various things. I think if they do more Eldar books they should take a note from how the Sisters of Silence were handled in The Master of Mankind to make it less tedious to read.
Eldar were my first army back in 3rd. And after a long break from the hobby and getting back into it with the new Range of Sisters, I'm really hyped to paint some galaxy-threatining pointy ears again. Enjoy your ride with that Ynnari force of yours!
Damn I got wait another 4 hours till I get off work to watch this one
Is it weird that hearing these Lore-master videos for 40k helps my anxiety? Because it SUPER does lol!! Thanks @Luetin09
I've got a hour and thirty minute walk through the Nevada desert at midnight tonight, so this video will come in handy.
I don’t get excited like this about any other channel. It’s the anticipation of not knowing when the video is going to come, good voice, good content and the endless pit of lore that Warhammer is, that keeps me checking my subscription tab every single day without fail. You probably won’t see this, but I hope you know you have cracked such a good formula for entertainment. Thanks.
I never in my life thought I’d get to here Leutin go BRRRRR
I love how the “Rouge Trader” Art how an old look to it. It’s like from another era
I've never played any warhammer video game or table top or PC, Ive been watching your videos for the story/lore summarization. Ive tried to watch other creator content but Ive been spoiled by your way of addressing and explanation. The first video I watched of yours was: THE WORST FATE IN 40K- THE DAEMONCULABA and I was hooked!
Just what I needed to make this print job at the office go faster. You rarely disappoint, Luetin.
My longest watched channel for warhammer goodness. May this legand never die! 🙏
I first started playing 40k in 1997 with a small mix match painted eldar force that i found at a garage sale. From there i devouted to painting a ulthwe force.
Ynarri gave me some hope for the eldar
I’d love to see videos that go into extreme detail about each of the individual Chaos Gods. When they formed, how they behave, and their history and actions.
been sick for a few days these videos have kept me going thanks LT
So I just had a wild thought, you mentioned time travel and it got me thinking what if when the emperor of man went into the warp and went back in time to cause slaanesh to be born I. The first place so as to super weaken the Eldar. And why the chaos gods took the promarch as payback for making a new choas god
Hello inquisitor.... Yes, this one right here lolol
The old human empire probably wouldn't have fallen if Slaanesh never existed. They would have recovered from the men of iron if not for the warp storms caused by the development of Slaanesh.
The emperor would have no reason to set humanity back tens of thousands of years and into the brink of extinction.
Thank you for diving a lot more into xenos lore lately , to be honest after a while the whole '' God Emperor , exterminatus , only in death does duty end , brrrrrr'' that the Imperium is , can become redundant and boring . Nothing anybody can do about it since the Imperium is the biggest seller , but lately i found myself drawn more and more towards the Aeldari lore even design ,so this video (all your videos in fact ) is a very welcomed breath of fresh air .
Dude... I literally just finished watching one of your other videos and bam! a new upload.
You are awesome my friend... love your work. I played Eldar 20+ years ago always got a soft spot for them. Great race :)
Nice!! To have this threshold-post land shortly after the truly epic Oculus Imperia’s Vyka Fenryka video, a few weeks after his 2nd Anniversary post makes Jeff a happy kid 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Sterling work, Luetin; many thanks…
I'm not too keen on the idea that Slannesh could/would fuse with Ynnead to form a more balanced entity. It is one thing for the Eldari gods to fuse together and perhaps deploy some sort of shield for the Eldari race's souls. Kind of like an Astronomicon for the Eldari, but instead of enhancing Warp travel, it would protect individual souls from being consumed by Slannesh. This would effectively realize what the first edition promised as the hope for the race. Slannesh still being active, but her ability to devour Eldari souls blunted somewhat. This would obviously be a great boon for the Eldari but would also keep Slannesh alive and well as one of the Gods of Chaos.
I agree, Slaanesh being 'defeated' somehow would make very little sense considering what the chaos gods are supposed to be - the coalescing of emotions in the warp in to cosmic beings of unimaginable power and scale. As if all the lust, pleasure, perfection, pain, and excess would just be gone from the galaxy or no longer represented in the warp?
I may not have played any of the 40k content yet but I do play RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, star wars, Rift, et cetera. About a year ago I began fleshing out a homebrew campaign system using good game mechanics from each system and combined them for my realm. I love the lore of warhammer and the different races at play. Taking the concepts of each faction and the overall esthetic of their race and molded them to my campaign setting. For example the race known as the "Warforged" I use as the base template for my concept of Necrons, for the Eldar are easily elves but with a complete revamp an overhaul of what that race is. So I gotta say thank you for your videos it opened up a blockage of creativity for me and got me interested enough to spend $400 so far on models and books.
Watching this far in the future makes it truly sad to see how much potential there was
If only Luetin narrated my Black Library audio books! Luetin and Toby Longworth are the only voices that really nail it.
9:16 you cheeky devil lmao

Playing my video game Exiled Kingdoms while listening. Thought I had reduced music volume to 0, but there was the game's music playing again... Checked settings, music is off... Damn, turns out Luetin's playing my game's music in his video background loll.
Your artwork selection is FANTASTIC
Kudos mate
Amazing as always! The almost 600k are well deserved and just a stepping stone to domination!
Nothing gets me more excited than seeing that you uploaded an hour long lore video.
Regarding the Crinum timeline: I'll buy that for a dollar!
Mad props for the Boeddicker reference.
Our paths meet again loremaster Luetin09. Share with us, the knowledge of the galaxy
Typical Luetin quality video
An interesting topic could be the sorceress and the librarians.
There is something endearing hearing a well knowlageable person getting exited about the thing they love
Slowly collecting the Horus Heresy on Audible thanks to you. Keep up the good work Loremaster Luetin!
Finally decided to start reading the books so i bought the three heresy books to start with. i really like your opinions and speculation on the series so thank you for being the encouragment i needed to finally start reading the lore and literature rather than just playing the tabletop games and pc games.
Congrats on the 600k, Bro 👊🏼
You certainly deserve it 💥👊🏼
Awesome channel.
I've been watching your videos recently and I love them thank you for the indepth deep dives into the lore of this universe as a lore master of the elder scrolls universe it brings a smile to my face to see such fine work on another series
For Slaanesh!
For the never ending pleasure!
Sometimes i wonder which faction of chaos i'd chose to fall victim to and which ones i'd prefer to join.
Right now if feel like falling victim to Khorne would be preferable over any other faction and i'd probably wanna join slaneesh. But i'm not sure about joining slaneesh. Something tells me that i'd regret that immediately.
The drawbacks of Khorne is the same as abusing steroids. You become agro as f*ck.
Khorne is the best of the four, Slaanesh is the worst.
Join Chaos Undivided, you stay relatively normal.
my file I worked on the entire day didnt safe. This safes me from punching a hole through my table
3 +50 minutes videos from my three favorite 40K creators on UA-cam. Today is truly a good day.
Absolutely love your videos, dude. Thanks for getting me into 40k about a year ago!
25:45 - I wish you would have mentioned the absolutely brilliant chapter on the Eldar contained in the 1992 Warhammer 40,000 Compilation.
If that girl containing the elder gods soul fragment was to use her power to absorb the souls of other aeldari containing god soul fragments... Would that be a way for her to transcend into godhood? Could she then fight slannesh as only "a god can hurt a god."
Maybe, but it could make for a bit of putting all the aeldari eggs in one basket if that’s their plan. The eldar are desperate to get some wins and it seems like the new eldar god plan could be a way to get a victory, but there is a massive risk to their plan. Because if yvraine and the ynarri fail and slaanesh devours their souls(which likely he/she/it would), unless somehow it was part of some grand plan(like giving it cosmic indigestion), it’s absolute death sentence for the aeldari and drukari as a species. Because you just gave slaanesh a much more powerful soul and one that could help slaanesh fully succeed at devouring the rest of the aeldari souls and their few surviving gods. Which feels in line with the status quo, where the eldar are still barely clinging desperately to life and power in the face of oblivion.
Super Saiyan Transformations, Let's Go!!!
