I've run with these chaps a few times. They might seem rather devout but at least they're far from Maccabian Janissaries, arguing with the Ministorum representative over the Emperor's sanctioned dinner time because the Emperor-In-Their-Head told them otherwise. (The Desert Fighters never shot at my aide for requisitioning supplies either, Jurgen would like to point out.)
I gotta believe that Khorne must have been furious at Horus for calling off the attack.... To that Dude, blood is blood and you do not need a valid reason to attack someone. The act of slaughter is the greatest offering one can give to Khorne, ergo Horus owed Khorne a LOT of blood for that.
Question: how valuable to the imperium would a world be that could provide 800 million heavily trained fully mechanized guardsmen per 20 years serve as a recruiting ground for easily tens of millions + of administratum and techpriests maintain a self sufficient food supply provide massive stockpiles of vox technology to supply several systems send enough minerals to finance multiple civilized world systems and act as a garden world in a lot of places all at once ?
Wait wait wait...........the Tau actually won a large scale war against the Imperium? Not dissing the Tau as I kinda like them, I just didn’t think they were up for a full scale war even against a force backed by Space Marines.
The tau won, but you have to understand that the imperium has bigger fish to fry, so rather than waste alot of men for a single irrelevant planet they could just comeback 2-3 century's later.
The Tau fuck shit up all the time 1 plot armour 2 they actually practice the closest type of warfare we do in the real world and that shit works because weve gotten really good at waging it over the years.
Well yes, but actually no. You see in the middle of their war the Tau Hive Fleet Behemoth decided to show up in Maccrage, Starting the first Tyranic War.
Eldar is the human name for the Aeldari, plus it's what we've known them as for so long! Also means people who haven't heard of the name change get caught up, just in case
Tactica Imperialis ok let's talk plainly. The reason they changed the name is because Eldar was already used and copyrighted my Tolkien right? So if the word Eldar was copyrighted why was 40k aloud to use it for a major faction for 30 years with no problems until now? The sole reason GW changed the name is because they could copyright their own name, like they did to the imperial guard with austra militarum. But in universe it doesn't make any damned sense. The Eldar have always referred to themselves as Eldar. Not this Aeldari bullshit and now 8th edition comes in and says " yeah Eldar was actually a name humanity gave them and their true name is Aeldari." We're talking about a arrogant race that calls humanity monkeys. You think a species would call themselves a primitive slur as there name? No the Eldar are a prideful people they would've corrected a human their actual name just to spite them. From a lore perspective a faction renaming itself isn't new. The orks used to be the Krorks and the Necrons used to be the Necronteir. The difference as stated previously is that GW is saying that the Eldar's name all along was Aeldari which doesn't make any logical sense. At least with Krorks and Necronteir GW said it was their ancient name and they renamed themselves sometime in their future. I'm sorry for the rant but this is Age of Sigmar levels of stupidity. Never have seen something so forced in my years of reading and study. I know you're being professional by calling them by the Eldar's new assigned name but it's just not right in any lore perspective. The community will never call them by this new name that's just a fact. They'll always be Eldar to us and it pains me when you call them by this new name. You do you man. Sorry for wasting your time but God did I need to get this rant out of me. After all this, I hope you see where I'm coming from here.
A better way to look at it would be as a hard retcon than a simple update. Sure, all the literature from the past says Eldar, but they've retconned it, hard, and all future literature should say Aeldari if I'm guessing right. Hence why it feels forced, because it's a retcon of something that's been enshrined for ages. Also you'll be surprised, newer additions to the community will only ever know them as the Aeldari, so they will only ever call them the Aeldari eventually even if it takes a while. I get it, it caught me out when it happened too, but since it's the way things are now I've accepted it, rationalised it and moved forward with it
Tactica Imperialis Aeldari will never replace Eldar. To much work and material for the community to just accept such a retcon. When the new bloods come into the hobby either through bare bones research or by word of mouth from us old guard they will know the Eldars true name. I'll always know them and call them Eldar. I reject this retcon. I know others will have the same mindset. Every time someone says Aeldari is just a small heresy. Spitting on 30 years of lore. You do as you like Michael but we both know this is bullshit. GW can rename the Eldar, GW can rename the Orks, They can rename every damn faction in 40k but the fans will always know them and acknowledge them by their proper names. Happy holidays tau.
i call them elder, my teenage son that's only been playing a year and a half calls them aeldari, he knows that all the older players call them elder but I guess being less invested in 40k he just adapted to the new common name GW use.
Sunshine does bleach the colour out of things but in people eventually they would turn black so im guessing some kind of radaition from the sun causeing it or the taint of chaos best exterminatus just to be safe. Glory to the god emporer.
Jaysus Mac Gabhann they would probably be darker if their planet was more livability on the surface. Also humans mutated to their environment very slowly examples being the modern U.S population. We have African citizens that are descendants of colonial aged African slaves that still show their heritage even though the environment of North America and Africa are very different. This is because we are a modern society that doesn’t depend on hunting and gathering so being adapted to our environment is less important. Being darker skin in a desert environment is an advantage when you have to spend more time outside in the sun to survive but does not mean someone with lighter skin can’t also live in the same environment just as successfully. The way we got our skin colors was survival of the the fittest but in 40k it is more like who can not die the fastest so having snow covered plants with a black population can make sense if they were the best at hiding or were working when the orks raided.
I love how GW puts parallel History into the future. Tallarn is the "arab planet" let's call a spade a spade. And they made a black unknown device from space the center of why everything has gone wrong....Its the stone of Mecca. And the middle east "story" all over again. A meteor of pure obsidian with what people thought were runes(burn marks from the atmosphere) and the religion of islam formed around it, (they literally spin around it to this very day.) and turned a lush verdant area of the planet into the Sandy tank filled shitshow we now know as the middle east. *sigh* Can u imagine how much nicer the world would be if western culture was practiced everywhere sooner. We'd have colonies on mars
Don't confuse western culture with race, religion, or a system such as capitalism. Their are many western countries that simply arn't capitalist and their still very western. Theirs countries like the US where our democracy is mostly a show right now we basically just elect a new "king" every 4-8 years. And that was never how it was supposed to work the individual states were supposed to hold the power through consensus.
The answer to all the worlds problems including religion and violance and racism can all be solved by basic education easy, no one is special no one is unique everyone is built the same we are all just human just people trying to live our lives racism is retarded poverty is the problem why hate its just like a cancer that will eat away at you from the inside you could make a new friend today so make the most of it have a great day

Commissar Cain he was lucky all they did was shoot at him really. could have involved a couple melta bombs with those nuts.
The emperor created arrakis-
I mean tallarn to test the faithful
Nice one mate
This was by far the greatest intro you've ever made for your videos
They are smililar to Fremen from Dune. Do they have krispels?
I gotta believe that Khorne must have been furious at Horus for calling off the attack.... To that Dude, blood is blood and you do not need a valid reason to attack someone. The act of slaughter is the greatest offering one can give to Khorne, ergo Horus owed Khorne a LOT of blood for that.
Merry Christmas Michael!

That one pic always reminds me of Jambi. Meka leka hi!
Great stuff Thanks bro
so those surprise gargants, were those the same one the Lamenters faced?
Wait wait wait...........the Tau actually won a large scale war against the Imperium?
Not dissing the Tau as I kinda like them, I just didn’t think they were up for a full scale war even against a force backed by Space Marines.
Pluto One planet isn't a large scale war by 40K standards
The tau won, but you have to understand that the imperium has bigger fish to fry, so rather than waste alot of men for a single irrelevant planet they could just comeback 2-3 century's later.
An biting insect does not war with a boot, nor does it claim victory when the boot chooses not to crush it.
The Tau fuck shit up all the time 1 plot armour 2 they actually practice the closest type of warfare we do in the real world and that shit works because weve gotten really good at waging it over the years.
Well yes, but actually no. You see in the middle of their war the Tau Hive Fleet Behemoth decided to show up in Maccrage, Starting the first Tyranic War.
Happy 25th of December
I've always heard rumors that they mount Camal like animals as calvary.
Camel* cavalry*
Merry Christmas!!!
You actually called the Eldar, Eldar. Slip of the tongue Michael?

i call them elder, my teenage son that's only been playing a year and a half calls them aeldari, he knows that all the older players call them elder but I guess being less invested in 40k he just adapted to the new common name GW use.

they where fun people to work with, but so much Sand.
I hate sand...It's rough and course; and it gets everywhere.

Anybody else find it strange how a people from a desert planet are generally depicted as having pale skin?
Reflects light
Sunshine does bleach the colour out of things but in people eventually they would turn black so im guessing some kind of radaition from the sun causeing it or the taint of chaos best exterminatus just to be safe. Glory to the god emporer.
Arabs usually do have light brown or pale skin.
Jaysus Mac Gabhann they would probably be darker if their planet was more livability on the surface. Also humans mutated to their environment very slowly examples being the modern U.S population. We have African citizens that are descendants of colonial aged African slaves that still show their heritage even though the environment of North America and Africa are very different.
