    Side note about the Eldar Fall, they were able to go to such violent extremes with each other because they were immortal. When they died, their souls just reincarnated into a new body, good as new. Therefore, they could murder each other all day long and just keep coming back for more. This changed when Slaanesh was born, after which all Eldar souls go straight to her.

Remember that the soul stones are a technological replacement for the natural system that the birth of Slaanesh broke. It doesn't get mentioned a lot because 1) It isn't the modern state of the Eldar, 2)Most people forget about it because it has a replacement that works the same way only slightly different so they occupy the same memory unless you're really thinking about it

    Slight correction: It was the birth of Slaneesh that ENDED the Age of Strife. The age had been caused by the psychic buildup of Eldar emotions leading up to the birth of Slaneesh which extinquished the vast majority of Eldar souls in the warp ending the age of strife

      Another slight correction: Knorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle were not around in the War in Heaven. They came MUCH later, in fact more near our modern times.

    One thing to remember with Eldar debauchery: Eldar were effectively immortal and didnt go into the warp but were reincarnated. Their lives were just cycles and it was necessary for them to go to the extreme of each life, experience everything, do whatever. And with no consequence. If you killed someone, they would just come back again. There were no consequences

      Orcs are fun. But the Krork were actually the MAIN reason the necrons “Noped” out after the war in heaven. A species that gets stronger and more intelligent the more war you give it??? Yeah, screw all that. The silent king decided to let the Eldari keep assassinating all the most powerful Krork for millions of years, and denying them open confrontation. Which led to a de-evolution of the Krork race into orcs. Denied anyone but themselves to fight, and their best and brightest constantly being assassinated… It was a problem after 60 million years of Eldari “containment” programs. Fortunately for the orcs, the Nids are giving them a “propa fight” and certain orc strains appear to be evolving forward once more. Not to the point they used to be. An ancient Krork would be MORE than a match for any space marine. But enough to be different from the usual orc hordes.

      30k was when Imperium was a fascistic empire hellbent on manifesting destiny across the galaxy with legions of gene enhanced warriors.(Also the Imperium was just better off, no threats 20 primarcs +Emperors and millions of astartes.) 40k Imperium a post fascistic theocratic society which literally collapsed beyond repair after the Heresy, clinging to life in a constant fight or flight reflex that is willing to sacrifice everyone to sustain its existence.

It's difficult to tell 40k's overarching story in less than thirty minutes, but not only did you do it, you also managed to convey the full emotional context of the setting as well. The individual heroism, those little sparks of hope keeping the dark away, courage not for the sake of evil but for the sake of those at your side - all so well communicated. Amazing job. This is one of my favorite videos on 40k, and I'll be sure to try to show this to anyone who is interested but still new to the hobby.

      Oh, and the Orks were once the Krorks and were, at minimum, 12 metres tall*. Yes, Metres. But (supposedly) a lack of good fighting de-evolved them.
      *For context, a Warboss that was at least 10 metres tall was powerful enough to lead a Waaagh! that almost destroyed the entire Imperium. They even managed to invade Terra.
