>>98453181ynnari were a downs syndrome plotline and im glad they aborted it.
Nobody that posts that shit likes Eldar.
>>98453181They're going to kill off Ynnead with Slaanesh about to consume every last Eldar soul only for the Emperor to magic punch Slaanesh in the bussy and claim the Eldar souls for his own as part of the 40k endtimes.Source? Trustmebro
>>98453181That's what happens when you let Gav and Mike write an entire faction. The Ynnari were useless tossers who had no plan, every single one of their heavy hitters lost to an ILLUSION of a Keeper of Secrets, who stole the last macguffin they needed to actually awaken Ynnead and become relevant to the metaplot and now the Ynnari failed at their one, singular job. Don't bother with his novels either, because they're not any better. It's just Yvraine being very confused and incompetent for two entire books, while dragging her warriors into stupid, meaningless wars that just get thousands of her own troops killed off for no benefit whatsoever (except Ynnead is happy eating their souls I guess). Gav successfully sabotaged the entire concept just like he's been hard at work sabotaging the Craftworld Eldar for decades. You'd think someone at GW would be a little upset at him for just writing "and then the Ynnari fucking failed at their sole purpose forever lol" but I guess not!Not that Brooks has done any better. His Orks books turned the Drukhari into bumbling incompetents who can't even work together to destroy a Waaaagh rampaging through Commorragh. Somehow, someone at GW thought this was fantastic and made him write the Lelith book, where Lelith abandons the Ynnari and immediately stages a coup on Vect, then decides at the last second not to kill him because she wants someone else to handle all the bookkeeping of running Commorragh for her. Vect is now a humiliated and emasculated failed tyrant who exists solely to lick Lelith's boots. Great writing! Love the nuanced take on Dark Eldar intersectional politics! Then for good measure they handed him the big Corsairs novel meant to hype Yriel's release, and in this novel the Corsairs are self-sabotaging incompetents who could have saved an entire Craftworld (their EMPLOYERS who PAY THEM) from destruction, but chose not to for the lols. Our heroes ladies and gentlemen!I fucking hate Gav and Mike.
>>98453272I wish someone would fuck a first founding chapter as hard as they did the Eldar factions. It would be funny to finally have space marine fanboys get a taste of what gw serves to non marine factions.4 books plus of retcons that remove every victory they ever could or have had and retcons the entire primarch's lineage into fodder for nurgle or some shit because the current chapter master of the space wolves fucked up would be some funny shit.I'm so sick of marine players telling me to be grateful for the path "trilogy" or the ynnari plot line.
>>98453235Very Entil'Zha-coded.
>>98453331>hurr durr never hear of no iron hands
>>98453331What is the War of the Beast?Oh, right, you didn't read it.
>>98453354Iron hands are not even near the level of disrespect the nids get let alone the eldar.Fucking nids lost barbwire and to an underground enemy. In their own codex. Closest thing to eldar disrespect are the Lamenters and even then they end looking cool because they write them in a positive way.
>>98453381You mean yet another war that was won by the Imperium?
>>98453354>Iron hands>Manus died cuz he tried to off his traitor brotherOkay, so actually trying to do the right thing is a big W, especially since we already knew he was dead before the series began. This puts manus above Lelith and Yriel even when he's sperging out.>Respected loyalist first founding chapterWell the imperium isn't fucked so they're doing pretty okay, and they still exist so that also a win (rip Biel Tan).>friends with the mechanicus and cawl just shat out countless thousands of nu marines and tech for them. Ok they even have useful allies and are taking huge Ws in the current setting.>Indomitus crusade, nu lore about how primarchs are warp gods and everyone but horus can returnSo Manus isn't really dead and can return....You'd have to somehow kill off all the primaris, and leave the imperium in a losing state where the star child/God Emperor has no power nor hope of gaining any power for them to be a good example. Fuck, even Manus could come back in 40k so you're not even down a primarch.But do go on, tell me how the imperium and the iron hands are somehow more fucked by the lore than Eldar.
>>98453381Let's see, the imperium wins, doesn't need a deus ex machina, and no major subfactions were annihilated.The space marine/imperium metaplot isn't fucked beyond all recognition by the series and its actually a coherent book that isn't just the same thing copy pasted from 3 perspectives with no new information.Yeah thats not a great example.
>>98453416That wasn't the question. The question was, why don't they fuck a first founding chapter as hard as they fuck eldar. The Imperial Fists were wiped out to a man.
>>98453439And they are back like nothing happen.Fucking Dark Angels and Blood Angel get wiped out to a man every other week when fucking around in a space hulk and by next working day the chapter is back like nothing.Even fucking Crimson Fits returned to life
>>98453439Yes. A war that the Imperial Fists won. Oh no, the horror.
>>98453439The imperial fists were never wiped out, Cawl had a legion sized force in cryostasis.But, if you choose to reject that premise we can go with:The imperial fists are brought back within literal moments and are still getting new content.They won the war.The imperium isn't fucked more than they were before the series.The IF don't look like actual retards.Where is the L?
>>98453181I ship those two girls. Do you?
>>98453419>decade old lore>random Imperium wankery>cherry-picked comparisonsIf that's your bar then Eldar are doing okay.>You'd have to somehow kill off all the primaris,Nah. Not all primaris wins are IH wins.>and leave the imperium in a losing state>implying that isn't the case>where the star child/God Emperor has no power nor hope of gaining any powerStatus quo is king.>Manus could come back in 40kHypothetical.Space Marines are the poster boys, yet Iron Hands get shit. Eldar are neither IoM nor Gay-os and somehow have a million subfactions and sculpts.
>>98453354>comparing a singular chapter to an entire race
>>98453469>first three linesBro you can't just say "nuh uh". I projected reasonable arguments as to why IH aren't fucked harder than eldar.>primarisHaving primaris and the primarch return plotlines are huge Ws in and of themselves.>imperium losing stateBro, yall were in Dire straits before cawl showed up and g-man/the lion came back. GW literally announced a setting tone change and is actively removing the only stuff stopping the imperium from rolling everyone.>Manus isn't back yetBro this is literally the topic of conversation, the fact that he could come back means the faction has hope and a metaplot.
>>98453497Meh, most space marine factions get as much lore as the entirety of a xenos faction. I could have replied this way but from a metanarrative perspective it's not unreasonable to say they have the same weight and have been seen to fight in as many battles.That said his next response makes me thing his reading comprehension is....Marineslop tier.
>>98453181>Necrons are waking up and might be able to achieve biotransferrence>Tau are rapidly advancing and are conquering worlds at a fast pace while getting their own warp goddess while avoiding the pitfalls of the ImperiumFanfiction
>>98453591I mean the biotransferrence thing is more of a hope but they’re definitely waking up, the Silent King is going around waking up worlds himself at this point. And I don’t even know what to say for the Tau thing, you must just not have read any of the new lore.
>>98453272>Lelith abandons the Ynnari and immediately stages a coup on VectNo she doesn't>then decides at the last second not to kill him because she wants someone else to handle all the bookkeeping of running Commorragh for her.No she doesn't >Vect is now a humiliated and emasculated failed tyrant who exists solely to lick Lelith's boots. No he doesn't >the Corsairs are self-sabotaging incompetents who could have saved an entire Craftworld (their EMPLOYERS who PAY THEM) from destruction, but chose not to for the lols.That didn't happen.
>>98453626>they’re definitely waking upMostly senile >the Silent kingHas a massive civil war brewing on the horizon>I don't even know what to say on the tau thingNo you don't, becauseyou get your fluff from youtube shorts. Most tau think there goddess is an abomination, there expanse isn't all that rapid, and they've already begin fracturing.
>>98453626I forget what book it's in but the Tau get to see the goddess of the Greater Good (tau'va?) and she obliterates an entire invasion fleet for them.So yeah, the tau have a new chaos God who is publicly and actively working to support them despite the whole not having a warp presence deal.
>>98453627>nuh uhFuck off back to blusky Mike.
>>98453657>Most tau think there goddess is an abomination, there expanse isn't all that rapid, and they've already begin fracturing.Most Tau don’t know about the goddess, her worship is coming largely from the auxiliaries, and Shadowsun is mostly neutral to her. Their expansion is very rapid, with a 6th sphere expansion being planned to happen while the 5th sphere expansion is also going on, and even Imperium Space Marines acknowledging the Tau to be a ‘dynamo of conquest’. And the whole splintering thing happened a while ago and hasn’t really resulted in much other than the Farsight Enclaves.
>>98453657>Mostly senileYes, and? Like 99% of the Necron race is senile, they can still shoot you just fine.
I liked the look of the ynarri. I don't play warhammer though.
>>98453349Well Ynnari does rhyme with Minbari.
>>98453498>you can't just say "nuh uh".Which is why I didn't!?>projected reasonable arguments"Projected" is absolutely the right word.>Having primaris and the primarch return plotlines are huge Ws in and of themselves.Why? How? Even if this was the case>decade old loreat this point.>GW literally announced a setting tone changeSource or you're just a zoomoid.>Eldar absolutely can't just waltz into Slanesh's palace, get the last crone sword and save the entire setting>this is totally unrealistic and could never happen in a million years>all hope is lost forever qq>b-b-but Manus comes back in five minutesOkay...
>>98454033>ferrus will NEVER EVER EVER COME BACK!gw would dig up sanguinius' rotting corpse just to sell a primarch mini (only $159.99)
>>98453181This is the result of decades of people not getting being told 'its a setting not a story'.Now every faction gets its own pretend 'quest to make a chaaange!' that will be mothballed every few editions. It's a sand mandala but it shuts them up.
>>98454033Ferrus Manus is already back. The Emperor resurrected him in Master of Mankind. He's the ghostly commander of the Legion of the Damned.
>>98454033You have yet to make a positive argument for Iron hands other than>iron handsAnd refuse to provide one so I'm gonna take the L and accept that i got baited by a troll or anon is a uninformed secondary.
>>98454156You just conveniently ignored it. >Space Marines are the poster boys, yet Iron Hands get shit. Eldar are neither IoM nor Gay-os and somehow have a million subfactions and sculpts.You are the one arguing the faction that got Yriel, multiple raiders kit and exodites this year alone is worse off than the one that gets fuck all in models.>>98454090English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?Why is Manus returning a given but expanding Ynnari with potentially a new eldar god utterly impossible?>inb4 one is more likely than the otherYes, retard-sama. But either both things could happen or neither can.Also still waiting on the source, zoomers.
>>98453181>>The Eldar have their entire death goddess plot abandoned halfway through and get no hope or closureExodites are the new eldar plotline. Exodites will revive the eldar empire on their million maiden worlds and use dinosaurs to conquer the galaxy, defeat necron dynasties/tyranids/hrud warrens/qorl empire/tau empire/kroot/the imperium/chaos and settle the score with dark eldar.
>>98454281>muh modelsIt's genuinely incredible that anyone could argue Marines don't get enough models with a straight face. This is next level stupidity.
>>98454301Moving eldar from #dying race into a series of resurgent empires with a score to settle against slaanesh and their dark kin would be kino.
>>98454538That's what people hoped the Ynnari would be. God, GW fucked it up so hard.
>>98453272The corsairs saved the craftworld though? >And they weren't hired, it was a farseer high IQ plan, you wouldn't get itAnd freed the slaves? And killed the works? Did we read the same book?
>>98454642>Did we read the same book?Asking that myself, considering the final plot beat is the Corsairs deciding they don't need to stick around and protect the Craftworld and instead they'll just let it get smashed. It wasn't some Farseer's plan, either, just a moment of pure, utter selfish indulgence on the Corsairs' part
>>98454334Marines≠IH
>>98454665The craftworld movedIt was them who decided to go 'fuck the civilians, were not going to waste our resources'
>>98454819Feels like you're dancing in circles to not admit that the Corsairs ultimately decided not to stick around and save the Craftworld.
>>98454597I was hoping so too. My entire army's fluff since 4e was made on that basis.Alas, the lead writer hates elves so we get....this.
>Iyanden: dead>Biel-Tan: in a million piecesWhich one of the remaining three big Craftworlds are they going to screw over next? My money's on Alaitoc.
>>98455157Alaitoc got dicked pretty hard in the books by a single company of space marines. I wouldn't call them big by any stretch.Ulthwe's lead seer got b& (imagine fucking up and experiencing consequences) so I think they're up next.
>>98453381>heh, bet he didn't even read even worst 40k series ever writtenBoggles the mind that the person who wold brag about such a thing exists.
>>98455175I think Ulthwé has a bit more wriggle room (though not much) because of Eldrad, who might as well be the main character of the Eldar faction at this point.
>>98455198I don't think there's any 'might' ambiguity left about it, he straight up is.
The Ynnari nivels were rubbish and I'm totally convinced the author was more interest in trying to make a donut steel character to get a model rather than crafting a decent story.
>>98455198Eldrad is the most consistently present named character in Eldar codexes. DE lost just about everyone. Phoenix lords come and go, the rest of the cast have been rotated with some only present for a single edition. Saim-hann hasn't had a guy since 3rd. Biel tan at least had Macha in dawn of war.
>>98454833Yes because they were dicks who abandoned them and the slaves, fuck them
>>98453714Lelith doesn't start a coup, she goes after Vect after he goes after her using her childhood friend.Lelith doesn't kill Vect because she knows she can't, many people have tried before her, some even "succeeded" he'd just come back and it'd be a prolonged power struggle she'd ultimately lose.Lelith doesn't give orders to Vect, or Commoragh. She explicitly just asked Vect to leave her alone, then she fucked off.The corsairs aren't really self sabotaging, there was between different groups of pirates, one guy turned traitor, but that didn't really sabotage much of anything. The craftworld isn't paying them shit, first they led the orks too the corsairs, embedded agents in their ranks, and used them as cannon fodder for the orks, while they fled the battle safely.Would you like more lorelet-kun?
>>98454833They did help the craftworld, the ork attack on the craftworld stopped the moment the corsairs showed up and the craftworld managed to escape, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>98455228Well, in that case he succeeded, so bully for him.
>>98453181because they are waking up. death to the fucking elves.
>>98456562>Lelith doesn't start a coup, she goes after Vect after he goes after her using her childhood friend.You yourself explain she tries to murder Vect while trying to argue she doesn't try to murder Vect. Nice own goal there, doofus.>Lelith doesn't kill Vect because she knows she can't,She literally holds a knife to his fucking throat and he can't lift a finger to stop her. She demands him to leave her and her waifu alone and he agrees because if he doesn't, she'll kill him.>Lelith doesn't give orders to VectBZZZZT. Wrong. You didn't read the book. >The corsairs aren't really self sabotaging, there was between different groups of pirates, one guy turned traitor, but that didn't really sabotage much of anything. Once again you prove my point while trying to argue otherwise. How retarded are you?>The craftworld isn't paying them shit,Craftworlds are the main patrons of Corsairs. Without Craftworlds, Corsairs can't get new ships or new manpower. Leaving a Craftworld to get destroyed is like a Rogue Trader leaving his own dynasty's throneworld to get ravaged by Orks.>first they led the orks too the corsairs, embedded agents in their ranks, and used them as cannon fodder for the orks, while they fled the battle safely.If the Corsairs themselves didn't argue among themselves when they realized they were going to leave that Craftworld to burn and so many of their kin to perish, you might have had a point.>Would you like more lorelet-kun?I feel like you're so far up your own ass at this point you'd legitimately try to argue the sky is red, Mike.>>98456579>he didn't read the book but wants to insist he did, while getting basic plot beats wrongEven other posters who disagree with me read the book enough to know that the Corsairs ditched the Craftworld to their fate at the end. This is some next level schizo shit.
>>98453181I dunno ask /40kg/
>>98457312>Next level schizo sitThe entire point was that the craftworld were dicks who didn't help them saving the slaves and that both taenar and Myrin Broke up with that part of their lifeCorsairs are not at the back and call of a craftworld which abandoned them first and the hounds of their farseersNvm the fact that the entire thing started because of Caman in the first placeYou expect a band of corsairs to just go back to their craftworld and play bodyguard?>They abandoned the craftworld Is such a fucking brain dead take and missing the entire point of the book which is made clear over and over again, the freedom from being at the back and call of the farseers who mess up all the time
Do you play a side character faction?
This is mostly a conspiracy, but im convinced they were plotting to use Ynnari as a means to remove dark eldar as a faction. Then 9th edition happened, and due to the combo of having a amazing codex and starter box they suddenly became popular enough to be worth investing in.
>>98457312You are a low IQ tertiary.>You yourself explain she tries to murder Vect while trying to argue she doesn't try to murder Vect. One, murdering someone isn't a coup, a coup is a hostile takeover, Lelith wasn't taking over ANYTHING.Second, I literally said she wasn't trying to murdering Vect only threaten him to leave her alone >She literally holds a knife to his fucking throat He's literally the most powerful drukhari in the setting, he's literally been killed before, Lelith literally states that's probably not even his real body>>98457312>BZZZZT.

Tertiary >Without Craftworlds, Corsairs can't get new ships or new manpower. Bullshit. If you actually read (you didn't), either books you'd see that corsairs are not only complete capable of being independent of craftworld, (One of the earliest chapters in Voidscarred were orks destroying a CORSAIR shipyard) they also recruit from all walks of eldar life, including drukhari and exodites. The pirate Queen Literally ruled own own fiefdom she had NO patrons, let alone a craftworld.>Leaving a Craftworld to get destroyedDidn't happen tertiary kun.>"Besides, you will note that Ilmaren is saved.

>>98457312>Lorelett vanishes when receipts are brought
>>98457771I play nothing but side character factions.
Why are Space Marine haters so fucking niggerish? You've got this insane crab bucket mentality and you'd rather the whole setting be pozzed into oblivion if it meant the Marines were made to suffer the slightest inconvenience.>>98454090I mean, since Fabius Bile had no problems cloning Fulgrim and Horus, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Cawl couldn't just whip together a new Primarch body for Sanguinius.Doesn't Cawl have a secret Roboute clone kicking around too that mostly just spends its time crashing out at Cawl?
>>98457750You should be arguing with the retard who didn't read the book and thinks the Corsairs stuck around and saved the Craftworld, not me.

>>98453181It's so obvious that they were just going to pull Slaanesh into realspace or some shit.Ynnead looks Slaaneshi as fuck.
>>98457771>Nids>GSC>also like KriegWe only accept cannon fodder here.
>>98457771>Tau>Necrons>Thinking about getting VotannLove my robot boys
>>98453419>Fuck, even Manus could come back in 40k so you're not even down a primarch.He does, he literally gets cloned several times because fulgrim wants his ass.that said arguing about the narrative of modern 40k is stupid. Back when it was written by passionate people it was "we have as much of X as we need for the value of Y" i think specifically Eldar are mentioned, there are as many as they need for any event but they remain a perpetually dying race just like the Imperium was always at the verge of collapsing.The fluff was always designed around how to sell new minis, Eldar will be fucked unless they're getting a Phil Kelly HJ, and god that man pulls out all the stops, he gets lub, candles, incense, roses, everything. No man gives the eldar an HJ like phil >lore oh you're like young
I'm tired of big overarching plots, just give me fun snapshots of minor characters and planet/system sized battlezones. All of this focus on recurring major characters, especially bringing back primarchs is retarded and just makes the setting feel WAAAAAAAAAY fucking smaller.It's been ten thousand fucking years. For reference, Gilgamesh randomly coming back and becoming a part of modern world politics would be HALF as retarded as that, as his times were only FIVE thousand years ago.
>>98457771VotannNecronsslowly picking up T'auyes, exclusively
>>98457771Necrons, yes. I am not ashamed to admit enjoying their ever-increasing share of relevancy though. I really hope we get a solo necron game before a solo eldar game, the War in Heaven shitposting would be legendary
>>98453331This is a marine game for marine fans. Your fault for hitching your wagon to an NPC faction.
>>98453467Nope. Marcille is for Laios's nerdy dick.
>>98453272Lick Lelith's TOES. She doesn't wear boots.
Reminder that the Tau did not invent their tech base. They just made copies of things the Votann sold them.
>>98483215Lmao.
>>98483233The Votann mostly gave them a shitty version of Ion which they subsequently improved back to being less shitty with their own technology. That being said, basically the big difference between Tau and other factions is Tau will adapt and convert the technology of other species and it's instrumental in them advancing faster than everyone else, so sort of yes.
>>98483146Tbh I don't think there will be that much salt. Necrons already got into a starter kit before Eldar/Dark Eldar/Clowns.Now as to why the fuck 8th didn't start with a schism between the marines and Ynnari so you could ride the wave of your hottest model line up while shoveling numarines and nueldar down everyone's throats I'll never know but there isn't anyone playing Eldar who expects anything out of GW right now. The Dino rider kit feels like a desperation move more than anything and at this point I'd rather get a friend to 3d print them for me than buy a kit so GW can spit in my face for another decade. If they show some degree of consistency or somehow dig themselves out of the ynnari shaped hole they dug I'd consider buying the books at least.But fuck, even necrons get endlessly jerked off in all their books. Gw hates Eldar.
>>98453467YJK that after Laios becomes king with Marcille and Falin as his advisors they all have the wildest, most bed shattering threesomes imaginable
>>98483239Even the creator herself and the animators working on the anime ship themDyke Marcille is exclusively a Tumblr secondary thing, if you actually read the manga you'd see that she is almost aggressively heterosexual. She sees Falin as a cute bubbly toddler/younger sister.
>>98485284I don't ship her with Farlin either. Stop screaming at imaginary enemies.And you are grasping at straws with Kui. She doesn't confirm anything. She's the creator of the manga. She doesn't need to ship anything, she would just make them a couple.But she doesn't.
>>98485278[Spoiler]Marcille 'knitting' while Laios sleeps is clearly a euphemism for fucking.[/spoiler]
>shipfag>waited for 10 page to totally not necrobump>fucked the spoiler up
>>98453673Considering what happened when the Eldar "got a Chaos goddess," this isn't good for Tau.
>>98453181Eldar are the closest to an objectively Good faction in 40k and GW doesn't want to give them any focus as their intent is to make Marines the publically approaved Good faction.
>>98453467I prefer the yuri but I know in my heart the only logical outcome is the two siblings double teaming the elf.
>>98455177That's far from the worst 40k series ever written. >the author's not even slightly concealed fetish
>>98453181the eldar should never have had that plotline, that was a plan spanning millenia. maybe in 45k or 50k they would have had enough souls in their craftworlds to create a new god. not now.
There should be a big conflict between xeno-tolerant progressive Guilliman and old timey HERESY Lion and the Imperium should split into 2 warring factions, Terra and Ultramar. Ynnari should join Ultramar permanently as the new human-eldar hybrid faction, despised by both other humans and other eldar, but with cool new tech.>techpriests tinkering with Webway>Eldar Dreadnoughts>Human Wraithlords>Warp Spider Marines, some crazy Eldar style Titan>Ultrasmurfs with their own Craftworld flagshipMeanwhile, to balance things out, Lion unlocks vaults with forbidden Dark Age tech and the Terran Imperium gets new reality-warping weapons and vehicles, maybe even awakens some shackled Men of Iron and Abominable Intelligence.
>>98495141That kills the Eldar.
>>98453181Aeldari are not elves, they're aliens. Stop trying to insert your dumb fetish, noldorfag.
Ynnead stuff feels like it was supposed to be a mechanism for squatting both the Deldar and Eldar range into one cohesive book. I am sure that made some sense at the end of 7th/beginning of 8th ed. I am not sure what made them to decide to reverse course but nearly a decade later and both factions have received notable refreshes with more on the way.
>>98495542Ynnead has basically been handled like a girl who is having a Goth phase through high school. Noticed for a second but quickly forgotten.
>>98495141Sounds like what you want is Age of Sigmar.
>>98495141Yeah but what do eldar get out of this? We already have warp spiders, titans, better dreadnought equivalents and craftworlds. This just seems like a shitty extension of numarines even further into the Eldar range and playstyle.
>>98495542No that makes even less sense in 7th/8th/9th as those were the editions where eldar had 3 codexes: Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Harlequins.
