40K - THE DRUKHARI TORTURERS TALE - Cruelty of the Dark Eldar | Warhammer 40,000 Lore/History

One of The best video of I seen about 40k. Great narrative great music choising.

Madness and insanity is probably the 2 most used words in 40k

If I were fighting the Dark Eldar, as a space marine, guardsmen, whatever, I would make 100% sure i always had a spare grenade with me.
And, no matter what happened, if it looked like I was about to be taken captive, I'd pull the fucking pin.

They are much worse than Chaos.
At least Chaos let's you join their team.

"Why me?"
"Why not?" As those last words echo, truly there can possibly be no better way to chill a victim's spine. To know all that misery and pain could've happened to anyone. But you were just that unlucky.

Dark Eldar are the most pure servants of Slaneesh.... their not willing to serve, but offer her souls and pain like a devouted cultist

So, if they are doing Slanesh's bidding why do demons still attack them in their web-way capital?

Hypocrisy

I do love that the eldar try to be philosophical, yet their biggest mistake was murder shagging a chaos god into existence 😂

This scene alone, would make for a horrifying movie.

I've now got a new appreciation for The Dark Eldar

algo

you know, if vect isnt lieing through his teeth (a very real possibility) then it pretty much confirms that the dark eldar are slaves of slannesh. She let them live because she knew it would benifit her. I mean, Vect was pretty much at the center of the blast, and was unharmed.

Could you please start listing the books within even if they're virtually unobtainable?

"subtle cruelty" mmmmmyes smashing your toes with a mallet before regenerating you and repeating is very subtle

I really see no difference in their current state and the state they would be in under Slaanesh control. They have become exactly what they think they are avoiding. What is the point anymore? They should just give in to Slaanesh at this point, they'd be rewarded with some temporary pleasure even if the torture would remain.

Eh, as far as times go for a human slave in the dark city I rather be him than most ofhers

Someone should tell vect how to utilize spoilers to stories. Or worse, shitty cheesy endings and plot holes XD Now that drives ppl insane.

A great story from the 3rd edition era IIRC, stories like this got me into the Dark Eldar and 40k in general. They changed the lore after this point after the 2010 revamp of the army, the original story was that the Dark Eldar migrated into the webway and founded Commoragh after the fall; now they have made it so Commoragh already existed as a hub for scum and villainy where the worst excesses of the old Eldar could take place, and then those denizens evolved into the Dark Eldar, with Vect coming to prominence later.

Eldar: "We do a little sacrifice"
births a chaos god and sends their entire species into near extinction

Everyone in galaxy right now: "Oh, shit, shit, shit! Fuck, fuck, fuck... FFFUUUUCK!"

Dark Eldar: *very large, grim smile

Drukhari is my army. Woot, woot.

fal

Vect is so cool

I like the drukhari because they don't try to justify there actions in the name of some god or anything like that they know they're evil and wear it like a badge of honor

I don’t think there is any subtlety about anything the dark elder do😂

Holy fuuuck those Dark Eldars such a dead end, it's incredible. A complete and utter waste of a potentia, now I wonder how do the Craft Eldars think about them.

hello Lutein09..WOW!

imma be honest if im tortured everyday I probably wont remember some story some weird dark elf told me one time

it wouldve been golden if gideon wouldve said in the middle "look can we go back to the torturer? I prefer that over this boring ass story"

I remember reading this in White Dwarf when the Asdrubal Vect miniature was released.

Urien Rakarth's comment and the music...chef's kiss. Masterpiece.

I read that story in the white dwarf as a young kid that had found some old white dwarf magasines. Let's say 10yo me wasn't ready for that tale and that bleak bleaaaak "why not?"

listening to this story made me grinning maniacally, I guess I'm a dark eldar, lol....

So I guess it's safe to assume Gideon didn't get a happy ending 😂

Forever ghoulishly chasing greater heights of debauchery and arrogant about it. A drug fiend slave to slaneesh singing and dancing in celebration for his chains.😂

"Subtle"?? That's the very last adjective I'd use to describe the Drukhari lmao

I know Drukhari are inherently evil but when he decided to not finish the tale I really thought to myself: "This guy's evil".

Where do they find these sotird is there a book or what

Chaos is worse... drukhari do this because they have to... emperors children because they WANT to

This was a fantastic read Luetin.

Can't think of a race more deserving of the imperium, Tyranids and Necrons, especially the Craft World Eldar to team up and absolutely destroy.

LOVE you videos but I personally think most of your videos are too long. I find myself doubling the playback speed when I watch your videos

So many people can't comprehend the idea of doing something horrible because they feel like it. I know such people exist, but my brain doesn't want to comprehend it either. It's part of why to me things like the plagues of nurgle aren't as scary as the dark eldar or the followers of slaanesh. Mind you, I'm also on the autism spectrum, so on a personal level the enhanced sensory issues would go haywire under slaanesh's influence and probably drive me insane. I've already got fairly sharp senses and reduced mental processing capability for sensory information.

Someone in the imperium should capture a slannesh cult and release them here 😂

Cliffhangers, the ultimate torture!

I wonder if any masochist ever just seek out the dark elder. Would they even satisfy the dark elder. Someone wanting pain. Letting them inflict pain upon them.

I am Glad to see this come back . Seems GW really left behind this Faction while upgrading others. . This was a group that really let people customize there army

good night
