"Ask not the Eldar a question, for they will give you three answers, all of which are true and terrifying to know."
- Inquisitor Czevak
"Would you like a sandwich?"
"(Gives overly complicated portents of doom)"
"I'll take that as a no".
"I have a cookie. You want a cookie?"
An Imperial Guardsman, a Space Marine, and an Inquisitor walk into a bar.
The Guardsman says "ow."
The Marine breaks right through the bar with his reinforced skull.
The Inquisitor accuses the bar of heresy. When the bar refuses to confess or even move despite sustained torture, the Inquisitor executes the Guardsman for failing to defeat the bar in combat.

Why is everyone in the Warhammer 40k universe so damm stupid?
@@Sgt-Wolf Imagine the medieval "dark age" after the fall of Rome. But instead of a few hundreds of years, lasting ten thousand years or more with little technological recovery. That's just a start. :-)

I see.
such is life in 40th millenium
When you party so hard you cause the birth of a depraved god.
eldar 1 :Dude....this party is going to be amazing....
eldar 2 : yeah......
@@alvar4547 they're still partying...
You mean to say Murder fucked
In the eternal words of Arch:
"For all their grand proclamations of the dangers and arrogance of the upstart mon-keigh, disparaging us mere humans as depraved and savage, we've never murder-f*cked a god into existence."
Explain why slaanesh is god of rape and tortura
Am I the only one noticing a sudden growing interest in 40k and more people covering its lore? That’s exciting.
Yeah man it's wicked I can see it blowing up soon
Warhammer Total War probably has brought casual audiences into the genre, I know in part it did so with me.
Path of the warrior and the og Dawn of war series
Well im new here and alredy stubeled into the angry marines, even if they werrnt canon their histories are so filled with absurdty and you can see the passion of a fanrom in the creation of their lore. So i find them lovable despite they being just a bunch of angry fuckers.
PS: FUCK THE GRAY KINGTHS.
@The Doge-Emperor of Dogekind ...But you're a dog.
Damned space elves!
How is a honest dwarf supposed to hit them with my canon if they just hide up there?
Ask the Squats...
@@Ashannon888 Squats who?
@@Ashannon888 Who are tyranid biomatter now

@DarkLordOfSweden judging by your current avatar I think you should just use your drill and pierce the heavens.
"Trust not in their appearance, for the Eldar are as alien to good, honest men as the vile Tyranids and savage Orks. There is no understanding them for there is nothing to understand - they are a random force in the universe." -- Imperial Commander Abriel Hume
GW actually did a great job in melding mytological elfs and tolkin elfs in both fantasy and 40k. Elfs/Eldar come of as creepy, weird and disturbing before anything else, unless they use trickery.
Can say the same about the Imperium of Man
@@Mrdevilquesvoce oh nooo, they did not fuck up nearly as much! Also unlike the eldar humanity was not fully responsable for their own fall into the clutches of chaos. The Cabal was atleast partially the cause.
@@galling2052 Neither was the Exodites or Craftworlders. They weren't responsible for the birth of Slaanesh.
@@nalrashido and in highsite, the imperium make the triple of chaos gods.
Orks: Created for their might in combat
Eldar: Created for their psionic abilities
OH MAN WHAT IRONY
Let me guess, the eldar are the murrder-machines and the wierdbois are good and pisiquic fuckerey (or the WAAAAARRRRG field)
@Fëanor King of the Ñoldor yeah i those monts i got deper unto the cultural niche of 40K, and yeah the only thing ho come close to the *WAAAAAAAAGH* is not canon, its is the angry marines rage, the psycos apotecarys can insult and ductape a marine in deathdor to full health, a angry psyker can made conceptual insults manifest in the material plane to fuck up his enemys a angry techmatine also can fix a machine jus by hitting them with a power wrench and ductape it (wile insult the machine ho have a "machine spirity" aka rudimentary AI ho is somehow pisicoticaly pissed) and even with it the angry marine rage ca only come close to the *WAAAAAAAAGH* level of bullshit.
Ps: to warp reality that way all the orks would be conviced of being the smartest species and also under 1 warboss, since the power of *WAAAAAAGH* of warband depends only of the sheer number of green skins.
In old time of war in heaven, Eldars had psychic power so powerful that they can modify reality around them, forest of trees form cities & halls, sculpting warp like clay & surfing solar wind.
They grew so accustomed to their birthright that they are unable to severe reality from warp, allowing chaos to brew and take shape; worst of all, they created one.
It is why 40k craftworld eldars limit their mind to avoid excess & dark eldars shun the identity at all. To pity them is laughable because we are damned altogether.
tl;ldr: The grimdark future of 40k is all because the Eldar couldn't keep it in their pants
It's mostly Old Ones' fault, really
@@grizzlyowlbear3538 Those bastards created the orcs to fight the necrons, and of course they had forgotten to put an off switch.
The Old ones couldn’t be bothered to give the poor Necrontyr everlasting life and eventually resulting them to basically create there own gods to help escape there fragile lives only to be betrayed by them.
Those dammed elves I’m just trying to worship talos over here, wait a second.....
WAIT A BLOODY SECOND
Something something but then i took an arrow to the knee
40k races in a nutshell
Space elves = eldar
Space dwarves = squats
Space halflings = ratlings
Space feudalism(not dune) = imperial knight worlds
Space authoritarianism = imperium of man
“The overpowered race that nobody can beat(cue the borg from Star Trek or yuuzhan Vong from Star Wars)” = tyranids
Space orcs = orks
Space goblins = Gretchin
I mean, the Yuuzhan Vong basically did nothing BUT lose after Borleias and Ebaq 9
What about the Tau ?
@@ottowilliamhalim4116 I mean i am not sure where to place the Tau. technically they aren 't space communists due to their caste system(communists want to abolish all hierarchies). in fact the tau are one of a handful of races that don't have a parallel in Warhammer Fantasy. I think the tau were created to make Warhammer 40,000 more Sci-fi esque than simply Warhammer fantasy in space.
Space egyptian-like robotic mummy = Necron
Otto William Halim space fish
Okay, I now am well versed on the nuances and lore of the Warhammer 40k and its universe. As well as the history of its races and their interactions.
But what the hell is Warhammer 40k
Tabletop wargame, with tons of books, video games, board games and such. Basically Space Middle ages.
Inquisitor Arkham cool. I don’t really understand the hype around a board game, but the lore is intriguing.
@@jax1384 it's been going on since the late 80's, so I mean there's that. Plus it's more hobby than just board game, like with the assembling and painting of miniatures and such. If you get bored check out a battle report for various faction battles. Or check out Dawn of War and such.
The best summary I can give you for this setting is gothic space opera set in the space middle ages after the fall of the space Roman empire.
If you're looking for a good book though, give the Eisenhorn Trilogy a try. Based on the stories of Inquisitor Eisenhorn. Kind of a normal humans perspective on thesetting. Albeit one who has damn near unlimited resources in the prosecuting of the Imperiums many enemies.
@@jax1384 honestly the board game is just one component of why it's got the traction that it has. It's a hobby, where you build and paint your own models and scenery, which is immensely satisfying. It has an enormous library of books and other media supporting it, containing vast amounts of intricately related lore which bounces between self-contradictory and batshit insane. It has unsubtle political overtones which have always acted as a parody and mocking of political systems which still exist and are relevant today (some fans don't get that it is saying that fascism is a *bad* thing, but they are an unpleasant minority). It creates communities, be it through the game or through the hobby or the lore or the art, especially amongst people likely to lack their own. 40k is a universe first, within which we find stories and games and beauty and horror in equal measure.
Or, y'know, it's nerds playing with toys. Whatever you think.
Your last statement is what I've been thinking about Warhammer
The old ones = Primordials
The eldar = Forerunners
Pretty much.
probably closer to;
Valar -> Old Ones (Fantasy and then 40k later) -> Primordials
Eldar (LOTR) -> Elves (Warhammer Fantasy) -> Forerunners
In reality, with the exception of the instances in both iterations of warhammer (as they are similar to one another in most ways) each incarnation has it's own unique traits and narrative meaning.
It is very difficult to create anything unique in this day and age as you'll find most everything has been done before, even tolkien took inspiration from Germanic myth and other sources for his work .
As such, the trick is to take something that has been done before and put enough of a unique spin on it to be compelling, i feel that all three universes have accomplished this well enough that the similarities shouldn't be considered too much of a detriment to their value.
@@Majesticz11 Very true. It's impossible to be 100% original. We all build upon what was before us. And yeah, Tolkien borrowed A LOT from germanic mythology and norse religion. Heck, if you look it up, every one of the dwarf names in the hobbit are straight up taken from norse religion. Gandalf is a borrowed name as well. So even he just stole names or ideas. It's not so much what we borrow that matters, it's more how it's used and he used it in a new way. Same for warhammer. People seem too hung up on ideas being "complete pure and super duper original."
Except the eldar didnt murder the old ones
Flood=tyranids
No joke like a hour ago I was look through your videos again and was wondering when the next Warhammer 40k episode was coming out
16:40 Let's face it, Slaanesh probably *WANTS* to be subdued!
Always love to see 40k on this channel keep it up!
Slaanesfh is like Desire of the endless
@@sethleoric2598 You're not wrong pretty boy
@@slaaneshthedarkprince2000 yeah like your both a girl? And a boy?
@@sethleoric2598 Yes
Cegorach, the Laughing God, kinda reminds me of both Kefka and Sheogorath.
Eh, basically, a spooky dangerous clown god.
Inquisitor Arkham Actually pretty nice though, he goes to great lengths to protect his followers.
Reminds me of honkler
CHEESE!
Despite the usual fuckery, he is actually pretty chill as far as 40k gods go
The whole sword smithing thing is literally pulled out of Norse mythology to the letter, it is a stunt pulled by Loki IIRC
I'd say the eldar and the imperium has a tsundere relationship with one another
eldar: human.....ba....baka!
human: nani?
@@alvar4547 Why do I imagine that in an anime scene.
Fast, dodgy, obnoxiously colorful, with a penchant to blowing into bits with a well timed bolter shot.
Am i the only one who (as a kid) thought 40k was just regular Warhammer but in the future?
That was the original design of 40k
@@WHYCANTIFINDONE no i mean like the actual future like wh classic but 40k years in the future
Seth Leoric I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant
@@mon-keightears3980 really?
Seth Leoric Yeah, he said that was in fact the original design of 40k to just be the futuristic Warhammer Fantasy.
A lot changed though, and looking at the old Rouge Trader stuff, 40k was extremely different to what it is today
13:00 is a funny picture.
That Eldar won't still have that smug expression when the Salamander unscrews his head like a jar lid.
Vulkan Lives!!Stomp,Stomp
@@jjm3529
It's heart warning to see just how many people are familiar with 40K's TRUE canon, aka TTS.
why would anyone downvote such a beautifully read video presentation... shame to them and their families. I don't know your real name @The Exploring Series but I watch your SCP and Warhammer videos and i absolutely adore them. Keep doing you man!
Most of the time I feel as though CZcams is just making shit up when it come L/D ratios
A video dealing with an important aspect of the WH40k Universe and no mention of The Emperor of Mankind?!
*HERESY!!!*
Space elves are nice but have you heard of *THE GREAT CRUSADE OF MANKIND?*
A good introduction to the Aeldari but does show more on the Asuryani rather than the Aeldari as a whole. Also Aeldari terraforming tech still exists as the Biel Tan craftworld modified it to create the Voidspinner super heavy grav tank
Can you go over all the gods please would love to learn more about them all
They are all batshit crazy exepct malal he doesnt exist
@@bloodfartmoon2765 I dont care about them being crazy. Most of the people we learn about and who are the most interesting to learn about are crazy
I'd say only a handful matter:
Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle and Slaanesh are easily the most fleshed out considering they've been present figures in Warhammer Fantasy, 40K, and Age of Sigmar.
Then there's the God Emperor of Mankind who is the most important character in Warhammer 40K.
Then there's Gork and Mork, who are basically titanic orks who constantly fight each other.
Then there are the remaining Eldar Gods: Khaine and Isha (who were originally in Warhammer Fantasy) and The Laughing God and the Death God who has a hard to spell name.
@@InquisitorThomas well,as you can already know it just does'nt end there. There is also new god of chaos (renegade god)''malice''. which started to get stronger at 41.millenium. Worshippers of renegade god does not follow rest of the chaos,they also count elder 4 chaos gods as enemy. This topic is pretty interesting because malice also considered as enemy from other chaos gods.
I..think he is the emperor of mankind. Here me out please:
Nurgle created by lost souls of dead humans,and also these mortalses fear from death,
Khorne created by bloodthrist of humans and their warlike nature,
Tzeentch created by mortal's belief of destiny,
Slaneesh created by elven people's thirst for pleasure,
Those 4 also counter each other, Nurgle and Tzeentch are opposite of each other one of them god of death and the other one is god of life,
Same as Khorne and slaanesh.
5th god started to get stronger and popular right after the death of emperor of mankind. In the lore it says just like that:''"The Outcast God," "The Lost God" and "The Renegade God," Malice is the embodiment of Chaos' indiscriminate and anarchic tendency toward destruction, even of itself and its own agents''.
Now,Emperor's mortal body nearly dead,and his warp existence fed by twisted imperium which sacrifices poor physkic human souls. I think he can't remain untwisted in these conditions. His hate for other chaos gods prevents him from joining them but he cannot stays pure cause he stoods alive because of so many poor human souls.
Sinan Alp Akyol
Yeah Malal or Malice is a thing, but I said Gods that matter.
*insert Troll face here*
Wow you can really see where blizzard drew their inspiration for the starcraft universe. Zerg are obviously the tyranids in look and style, but with the backstory of the orcs, being created by an ancient superior race for their physical power. The protoss are the eldarr, a dying race who used to rule the galaxy, created by the same ancient race for their psychic powers, who lost their home world and now go around on vast spaceships far larger than the other races.
Humans are just humans i guess, vast bureaucracy with plenty of corruption, but without the divine zombie leader. Even the marines take obvious inspiration from space marines in 40k, except in starcraft they are the common basic soldier, instead of the elite of the elite they are in 40k.
Even amon feels a bit like a chaos god.
IIRC, the Tyranids were also created by the Old Ones.
I'm noticing a trend in this universe
That everything is shit?

Really enjoying your 40K content! Thanks!
I love the 40k lore videos!! Keep em coming!!
Warhammer is the dark souls of fantasy games
I dont get it
@@knighttemplar9980 because it's more gritty and dark than most fantasy games
Isn't Dark Souls the Dark Souls of fantasy games. Because, you know, it's a fantasy game.
I know 40k pretty well so I just come to this one and others to help answer questions newcomers might have.
Are the Eldar or Necrons more powerful. Also, I’m assuming Necrons are the oldest and most powerful race? Can you help me understand?
Great Overview video! I can't wait for more :D Also, would you consider doing more specific videos once the major factions of 40k are covered, or longer, more in-depth videos on certain aspects of one faction? Because I'd really love to see a video on specific primarchs by you one day.
Keep up the good work!
I got into 40k about two years ago and couldn't get into the Eldar lorewise even though I enjoy their aesthetics but this video really made me reinterested.
Looking forward to you exploring the Tau. And I hope you will do it.
Great video! These are really helping me understand 40k, can you go over Tyranids next? They sounds really cool, like the flood from halo.
Image if Tolkien's elves have a conversation with the Eldar?! Has anybody done that?
Another great entry! :D
Awesome video! 💯🙌
How powerful are the Chaos gods compared to the Eldar gods?
Slaanesh the youngest of the Chaos Gods ate all but three of them for breakfast, that should give you the answer.
@@BiohazardReactor
How about in powerscaling terms?
BiohazardReactor Another thing you have to consider is that because most of the Eldar got into BDSM crap, that essentially weakened most of the Gods and since Slaanesh was empowered by it, yeah it was a cakewalk for it.
But with Ynnead now walking about getting powered up to wreck Slaanesh so much that even it will need a safe word. This question is really dependent on when and what.
I’m willing to bet that before the Eldar got corrupted, the Gods would have been able to handle the Chaos Gods if they ever decided to attack.
@@mon-keightears3980 Khorn, Nurgle and Tzeentch were "born" sometime during the War in Heaven and given that the Eldar rose to power sometime after this war, it can be assumed that their gods had to be able to deal with the Chaos Gods, as otherwise, the Eldar would have been corrupted long before they had the time to murder-f*ck another Chaos God into existence.
Yet at the same time, I don't believe that a possible confrontation between the Eldar pantheon and the Chaos Gods would have been as one-sided as one might think as if the Eldar had possessed a total control over the warp they would have had no reason to solely rely on the Webway of the Old Ones to "safely" traverse the Immaterium.
I, therefore, assume that the power of the full Eldar pantheon and the first three Chaos Gods were relatively similar in power to the point where neither side could freely attack the other one without risking taking significant damage in the process. With the birth of a "chaotic" god inside of the already declining Eldar pantheon, this fragile balance was shattered and the Chaos Gods stepped in to claim the now existing power vacuum becoming the powerhouses they are in modern 40k.
As for Ynnead, I doubt that the Eldar have the power left to create a god that is strong enough to fully defeat Slaanesh, given that Slaanesh managed to hold its own against the other three Chaos Gods and now also feeds upon the acts of its non-Eldar worshippers. At best I would assume that Ynnead might be able to save the souls of let's say 30-40% (exact values are up for debate) of all dying Eldar.
Besides even if Ynnead would turn out to pose a significant threat to Slaanesh, the other Chaos God would probably intervene in order to preserve Slaanesh as an asset against the other players of the Great Game, and no matter how many magical swords the Eldar collect for their new god I don't think Ynnead would be able to handle a fight against all four Chaos Gods.
BiohazardReactor The thing is though Slaanesh has actually realized Ynnead exists and he’s shitting his panties trying to ensure he doesn’t reach his power with the Eldar getting the last sword. But honestly though at this point he’s only trying to delay the inevitable, Slaanesh is honestly screwed just like how the Eldar got screwed in the Fall. (Though honestly GW isn’t going to progress this storyline beyond the Ynnari being only one sword away from empowering Ynnead... we gotta maintain the “Endless War” part of 40k... though I’d be genuinely pleased if they did)
There’s also Cegorach who might have a big hand in this game, there’s plenty of Harlequins who have been aiding the efforts of the Ynnari, and Eldrad. I mean come on this is Cegorach we’re talking about, he obviously has a plan that’s going to screw over the Chaos Gods
Ynnead is empowered by the Dead Eldar in a similar fashion to Slaanesh. So for all the Eldar that Slaanesh has devoured will just empower Ynnead. Ynnead might just be born right inside Slaanesh almost bursting him open and killing him, considering that practically all the dead Eldar are inside Slaanesh, including even the other Eldar Gods.
You say that the other Chaos Gods would try to save Slaanesh but honestly though.. I doubt it. They hated him when he was born, I doubt they’d care if he died. Even in AOS they’re not trying to save him, they just shrugged and moved on with their own games, it’s honestly a situation of “Getting rid of competition” for the other three Gods.
Magnificent visuals and concepts.
Oh please do a video on the 3 surviving Eldar Gods! Cegorach is probably my favorite part of the 40k mythos!!!
One be trapped by Nudge and become a supernatural trash can, one hide in Webway (which close to be sucked to Slanesh when Magnus break it), and one born later and avoid being sucked.
Good shit my man
Please do more this is the best channel for lore
The hell priest accidentally turn up....
"The sound of hellll.....wait..." Looks back at gash and mouths something. "Sorry wrong place. Have fun" gives slanesh a thumbs up...
Cool always wondered about the backstory of the elder. They are fun in the dawn of war games but dunno if I would play them in the tabletop game. I play demons myself.
When you become so kinky you spawn a chaos god
What is it with the eldar and spooky swords? They should've learnt by now that a poor craftsman blames his tools.
Man, this lore is great, I want to get into Warhammer 40k, but there's so many fucking games to play.
the first bird to come into existence must've gotten a lot of worms
Never watched your 40k stuff. I generally stick to the sip vids. But a friend of mine got me hooked. So here I am now and loving it.
Yayyy 40k vids :)
The eldar remind me of bionicles for some reason
You should do an exploring series of north and south American cryptids and mythical creatures
Does anyone know where that really cool illustration at 16:05 is from? Also, great video, didn't know much about Warhammer 40K before this series came out, and I had never even heard of the Eldar, but now I am quite intrigued.
Amazing video as always. Can you make a video about necrons or the chaos gods?
Sweet video. God I love the Harlequins.
Comentario De The Eldar
I would have thought the god of the Harlequins would have been Mr. J, aka, Puddin'.
15:44 can i ask where is the link for this picture, it is magnificent, thanks a lot in advance
Very intuned with space magic 🎩 ✨️
I love the harlequin so much.
And this is a pretty good summary video, but I should tell you that Ynnead is said as "In-Nee-Yad", not as "In-need", especially since the nascent God and its followers are such big characters in what s going on in 40K now.
Hey, how about making a series about Junji Ito's work (I don't know if you know him), i would love to hear your thoughts about his monsters and stories.
Eldar before Amasec:
Eldars are a proud and noble race! We are not lewd!
Eldar after Amasec:

These violent delights have violent ends.
When your schedule is more clear and if ye want to, Exploring Ravenloft would be really neat to see ^^
Will you do the tau next? Pleeeaaassseeee?
Love the story it,s classic
I didn't know they were so science fantasy. Stop making me like the space elves.

How powerful would the Forerunners from the Halo books be compared to Warhammer 40k factions?
The fore runners technology could be said to be equal to (warhammers) humanity before the time of strife, high automation and basically a life of luxury and technological prowess. However even at this time the elder still looked down on humanity like mice beneath giants. The elder at their height were beyond anything us mere humans could even dream of, they created their own gods and used the even more advanced tech of the old ones (ie the webway)
@@spanishcoldsoup4643
Well in the books the Forerunners had millions of worlds and a large military when the Forerunner-Flood war happened the Forerunners destroyed planets to try to destroy the outbreak eventually the outbreak got so bad that the Forerunners began destroying stars in solar systems to stop the outbreak and they still failed to stop the outbreak the Forerunners also had trillions of soldiers and armies machines and military AIs like Medicant and Offensive Bias which commanded millions of warships.
The forerunner flood war was nothing in comparison to the war in heaven
@@thorshammer7883
"the outbreak got so bad that the Forerunners began destroying stars in solar systems"
Yeah that's pretty strong, but the Necrons have this thing called the "Celestial Orrery" that allows them to just immediately supernova stars. They don't do it much since they're pretty OCD about disrupting the galaxy but they could do it.
@@emmanuelchavezcastillo6746 **Has PTSD about a certain Omniversal war that never reached a state of Peace Treaty**
Deja Vu...
The Craftworlders and Exodites are all descendants of pilgrims who conscientiously objected to what the Eldar were becoming, and got the majority got fuck out before the birth of Slaanesh. Blame the Dark Eldar as their society is the closest representation of what Pre-Fall Eldar society looked like.
I really want GW to expand the range of wraithbone constructs
Is there a new war hammer singles player game coming soon?
Wow. *Two* legendary beings thought they could defeat the *God. Of. War* in a duel.
I mean, Diomedes defeated Ares in single combat in the Iliad
@@SonofSethoitae Fair Point.
I’m abit confused, why did a being with no sense of linear time not just...have the swords immediately upon request?
Also what kind of ‘god’ needs to forge a blade?
Well since Greek gods took such interest In very specific mortals it makes sense mythology wise for something so stupid to be like that
I've loved these Warhammer videos. Although I doubt I will get into any of the games or books, I appreciate the lore and potential behind this universe. Also I need to leave this somewhere

The old ones really create a lot of problem
I guess the tau are next
the warp is also the infinte dimention of dreams 2 door rest there one to the dreaming and one to nightmare. the warp from 40k is nightmare and its powers corrupt
You mean the old ones from Lovecraft
