I used to not be able to stand the Drukhari. They were just so contemptable and over the top that I couldn't engage with them. But your stories and lore have really given me an appreciation for them. When they're handled properly, they are truly terrifying. It's a tricky balance to maintain their mystique and you have done it, my friend!

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, a psyker warrior is saying: “there’s always a bigger fish”.
Help me Inquisiteur Obi Wan Clouseu your my only hope.
None in 40k deserve extinction more than the dark ekdar.
So so true.
Eh, they do what they have to do to survive. While Necrons do it because they want to
@@Connordaboss45 eh no one will miss them.
@@ambushbob5383 well, i mean the Tyranids...
I would give them priority
my fav race 😢
Ugh, a Cabal management sim where you have to leverage, threaten, assassinate, bargain, and then go on raids would be sweet.
Drukhari are horror incarnate. The point of coalescing fears into the thing so rare unknown and bizarre that they seem to only just outshine all daemons in form nor thoughts of malice and cruelty.
Usually I do not mind the Knife Ears getting their due but your narration at the beginning made me feel sorry for that bloody sod.
I just gave you your 69th like
Everybody gangsta till the shadows start speaking elvish
Man I freaking love Incubi, unlike the rest of their faction they have something resembling a code of honor and serve a lord.
They’re basically evil samurai elves and I love it so much
"Spikes? Oh sweet child. You're *adorable.*"
- The Hive Mind
This story almost sounds like the basic for a Predator film. They way you talk, you could do a after dark series of stories. Something for the adults. Darker, you voice suits that.
Oh I’d like to, but I don’t really do horror. I don’t read or watch it, so could be rather pants at it. :)
@@baldermort Most of the 40k is a horror story. You handle it very well.
Do it!!!!!!!!!!! Do it now!!!!!!!!!! Run!!!! Go!!!!!! Get to the horror.
Damn. My heart goes with you my Eldar kin. The claws of Slaanesh taking the soul.
Oh my heart... that moment he crushed the soul stone... nooooooh! T_T
😎😎
How to be a badass in an order of rather lawful evil order of killer monks. Show up unannounced, leave a path of blood and gore throughout the temple, behead the leader in honorable combat, and never claim the throne. That is how you are seen as a badass.
I recently decided to start a Drukhari army and the Incubi have always been my favorite models, and with this beautiful masterpiece coming out only solidifies my theory that I made the right decision! Thanks for everything you do Baldy, I’ve loved every second of your audio dramas and have literally watched all your videos at least twice. Keep up the amazing work!
A dose of Baldermort a day keeps our troubles away
I would like to make one addendum, an Exarch is not a single warrior with a single spirit stone- but a gestalt formation of all that have ever worn the Exarch’s armor, which bears many spirit stones to house these many souls.
Isnt that only Phoenix lords?
The Phoenix lords are exarchs, actually! So yes the Phoenix Lords do that but they’re essentially just very powerful exarchs
@@isupposethisismynmw640 oh i dint know that
Pardon my necro-post but this is a bit of complex lore.
tl;dr: Exarchs are gestalt entities with multiple soul stones. Phoenix Lords are more like daemons in that they devour the mind/soul of the Exarch that puts on their armour.
Detailed version: This is based from lore gathered from the Path of the Eldar trilogy/Omnibus; some of this may have been retconned.
As previously mentioned, Exarchs are a gestalt entity of sorts created by an Aspect warrior who for lack of better term merges their War Mask with their core identity. Once this occurs they stop being able to function like a normal Eldar. From then on they are drawn to a temple of their aspect that is currently missing an Exarch. Once found they don the armour and effectively merge their soul with all the previous Exarchs who wore that armour. The Phoenix Lords are vary similar in this regard as when a Phoenix Lord dies, an Exarch is drawn to take up the armour. However, unlike the Exarch a Phoenix Lord is not a gestalt intellect. The Ego or Identity of the Phoenix Lord completely overwhelms and effectively devours the Exarch.
Two related points: 1) Exarchs never join the Infinity circuit. They serve until either their soul gems are destroyed, they are called upon to resurrect a Pheonix Lord or they are sacrificed to activate an Avatar of Khaine.
2) This is less a point and more providing description as to what a War Mask is. Because of Eldar nature, in order to contain their killing instincts, Craftworld Eldar developed a means of basically compartmentalizing their mind so as to prevent their war time actions from becoming overly represented in who they are. Best example of this is to use modern military as an example. Militaries can train people to become soldiers and kill. Deprogramming the killing drive is a lot harder if not impossible with current psychological means. The Eldar get around this by creating mental blocks in their mind - effectively forgetting it all. When an Eldar loses the ability to do this, they become lost to the Aspect. What that means is best described in the Path of the Eldar book 1. A character in the process of becoming lost consciously thought he said "I want to go do something fun." to his Shrine mates at a public function. Innocent right? Well. What he actually said was "I want to go find something to kill." Eldar that lose their mask are likely to become the villain for a 90's slasher film. For purposes of avoiding a multipage essay, I kept it simple.
Drazhar, Lord of Blades, he along with his retinue and the Lord Archon they served, they were my very first models I bought and what got me excited about this galaxy so many years ago. Drazhar is still one of my favorite killers.⚔
Ahhhh. A fellow deviant Deldar player! Well met brother!
It’s nice seeing the Dark Eldar getting their due for being the completely irredeemable blights upon the galaxy that they are.
Oh they’re horrible. Worst evil in the setting by far.
All powerful CZcams algorithm, please accept my humble offering of a comment and bring this channel many more views. Amen.
Amen
Drazhar has always fascinated me. The fact that Jain-Zhar, Pheonix Lord of the Howling Banshees though she was gonna die facing him. If that doesnt set the gravity of this character...i dont know what does.
More soothing Uncle Balders to keep work fun. Keep up the good work Sir!!!
That story in the beginning was actually really interesting, an eldars point of view on things
Absolutely INCREDIBLE opening short, Baldy!
“I like how Valdor Draigo would just shrug off a Tormenter like it’s nothing.”
Well done. Proper characterization of eldar (aloof, contemptuous, refined), and conveying how alien/imposed the feeling of fear is.
The notion of an eldar soul having awareness of its flight into Slaanesh... chilling!
Not quite first, but very intrigued by the title.
Ok, I've finished the vid, and it was magnificent.
And now I know about something I didn't even know was a thing.
Best designed elder unit just love the esthetic
Me putting on this video before going to sleep: "I keep having night terrors so I might as well make them cool".
Dear gods, that was as captivating as always but there was such a gorgeously grotesque moment right at the end of the tale that just enraptures you into the mentality of the narrating character's foreboding of woeful dread.
I can never praise enough the presentations provided by this channel, I think lol. As I truly believe that every single one of us whose had the privilege to listen to even one of Baldermort's recitations are given witness to the ability of story telling at it's finest and it should be hailed as such.
But I'm sure y'all already knew and felt that too lol
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@baldermorttruly you are a inspiration.
There is one swordsman who will be able to fight him, Cato Sicarius.(not counting being of higher power)
Imagine if Drazhar is actually a solitaire sent by Ceghorath.
The beginning story roused my rage at the scorpion's thoughts of mankind. What a hypocrite. As if his kind didn't do the same and for 60 million years no less. Hahaha now he shall have the suffering he deserves.
His kind didn't destroy every world they landed on
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 hey mankind didn't manifest slanesh into the warp than reality
@@popopopoool neither did the Asuryani and Exodites
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 They were only the Eldar before. They split into the three classifications a little before The Fall/Birth. So yes, his kind. Did do that shit for 60 million years. The only difference is they stopped after a certain territory expansion size was met and still view all other life as lesser/expendable.
And spend all there time hiding from the Crazy Mon'key on the Bike
Respect Baldermort. I travel home after work listening your tales and stories. Thank you.
Eldari make a great fertilizer.
Not for growing plants but for the sake of making fertilizer.
There is killing your opponent, and then there is banishing their soul to eternal excruciating unendurable agony and terror. Damn, that is one cold killer.
I love stories about the eldar races. They're so poetic, skilled, and prideful.
This is what I've been waiting for! Best swordsmen in the galaxy. My klaivex Thrysh Thrashblade killed 3 custodian guard in a kill team game once and even yahtzeed an imperial knight down. Even my buddies try to kill him first now
"I'm a simple Warrior.
I see Custodes getting killed, I click like."
Drukhari lore!? Color me quite pleased.
*narrows eyes* Vulcan sends his regards. *fires multi-melta at incubus*
Loll. :).
Kheradruach send his regards
Lovely lore drop, wonder if you'll go over all the shrines of Khaine?
Trying. Eldar are my ‘main’. But the cud’s don’t do welll. Sigh. So I have to ration them. :(. Pity. I do love Eldar lore.
A dark and lovely birthday gift.
Thank you brother Balders.
ASMR 40K content ahead full speed captain.
best Warhammer channel along with Valrak, Rho. Majorkill and Ludeon and Peranine
Oh crumbs, they’re better. But thanks boss.
"Ahh, my head's off."
Your narrative made me realize that humanity is to the Eldar (I won't use the newspeak term for that xenos filth) that Orks are to the glorious Imperium.
YAS!! The aspect warriors of the Dark Eldar!
Perfect listening whilst I do my exercise
sweet glad you talked about Drazhar and his Warrior conrads.
Great way to start the day, thank you Baldemort keep up the great work.
Hallo once again m'Lord Baldermort! Just so you know, you are my fav storyteller and commentator of Warhammer 40 k lore. Most of the rest just read straight from the wiki with pics blatantly hijacked from google images in order to chase a buck. You, on the other hand, well, you put thought, imagination and love into your work, storytelling and lore. I cannot thank you enough. Every warm good wish from a kiwi down-under!
Oh lord, this wouldn't be out of place as a Halloween entry. I didn't give one toss about Dark Eldar before, but hearing about this, I think I'll go check out more of your entries on 'em. I didn't realize they were so ridiculously horrifying.
Oh they’re rancid. Check out Hormonculi. :(
@@baldermort I absolutely will. That name sounds promisingly awful. :D
That was a great story, I really loved it. Eldar and Dark Eldar are the one army I know very little about, it's always fun to learn more about them.
Thanks commander. :). Sorry I’m not in discord much. Trying to do space wolves. Taking its time. :(. .
@@baldermort it’s all good I hope all well my friend.
He even killed three custodes?
Well they are not invincible, i guess named characters have to get a few in
He killed 3 custodes *simultanously* quick reminder that other factions are vastly underestimated
What story?
@@Chadegon1693 Three isnt bad, but its not as much as others.
Apparently a harlequin troop leader and a solitaire infiltrated the palace on terra and were fighting up the eternity stairs trying to get an audience with the Emperor.
Between the two of them just over 100 custodes died before they were stalled and had to retreat before risking death.
Like i said, named characters have plot armor, and while the custodes are the best next to the primarch, there has to be a few badasses out there who can fight and beat one of the gold mans gold boys.
@@antcow1239 3 is alot. The only thing that stopped him from killing more was that he ran out of custodes to kill. And no 6 harlequins entered the palace, 2 made it to the inner sanctum, 1 got captchured by the high lord inquisitor and the grand master of the inquisition. The other 4 regular harlequins didnt even see a custodes, and the shadowseer and deathjester killed half a dozen at best and most of them from range
@@Chadegon1693 Ok, i only knew the jist of the story
Thank for your work and time
This was amazing, thanks for the content.
What a rare treat
At least we know the Eldar won't go extinct any time soon.
This was great dude, thanks for the insight and your short at the start was captivating
That was fantastic
Great as always
Balderlord of Mort !!!! This was good one. Many thanks !!!!
Love the stories! Keep up the good work!
Amazing as always Baldermort.
I was sharpening a knife on a wet stone while listening to this video. I feel oddly in sync and malicious now.
On another note Striking Scorpions are my favorite aspect warriors so I hope they get a great video to show their own prowess. (Maybe a revenge hunt on the Incubus shines?)
Yay new post
As usual, a magnificent entry, Brother!!
I've been waiting for this one for ages even though I didn't even know it!
That intro short reminded me of your entry about the night lords, my favorite kind!
I could listen to this content all day long!
Great intro! And great video
That Mandrake video is by far my favorite, felt like I was right there along with the narrator. Beautiful work, please keep up the fine story craft and creativity good sir .
Gotcha. Hopefully lore of that type in the future. Working on strands. That input helps a bundle boss.
It was glorious, the mundane setting, the relatability of a "job for jobs sake" , the sense of not being "involved" in gossip etc because what's the point?
I genuinely had chills about the end section (that I won't spoil) but I felt what the narrator felt and got goosebumps 🙂
I love warhammer for the stories, without narrative there is no universe and the games become just rolling dice and moving plastic but the stories make everything come alive , thanks for all your hard work, I know how difficult it is to script out videos never mind record that, keep up the good work!
Have you ever written a narrative campaign for sale? I'd imagine you'd make something glorious!
by far the most unique 40k lore channel and i love it, keep up the amazing work
Magnificent work Lore Master. An underrated section of the 40k universe given some much needed love. Terrifying and awesome. Bravo!
That story was as spectacular as always sir well done! (goosebumps!)
Thank ye sir. Will be back in discord when the damned Wolves vid is written. Ten k words in and not scratched the surface. Arse. Sorry. :(.
Oh and I’ll need some lines done old chap. Guard commander.
@@baldermort sounds good my friend! Pop me a message with what you need and I'll get it your way :)
Baldy as always bringing the heat on this glorious Monday 🔥👍
Perfect timing sir! I'm assembling Drazhar and a squad of Incubi right now :)
Superb entry Brother Balders. Loved the gentle background music - really added to the theme of the story!
Last time i was here this early the Emperor wasn't a vegetable yet.
Another absolutely Sublime performance my fine Sir❕👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you sir.
Beautiful you should release a collection of short stories. I would definitely buy that
I love this!!❤❤❤
Ta. :)
perfect
Wow just wow what a great story. The part where u describe the head falling and what it sees was a great idea. And that ending tho
Damn old boy that story at the very beginning shit gave me goosebumps. You really are awesome and I beg you please don't ever stop
What a wonderfully Grimdark story and informative video. Thank you Balders
Thanks brother Strix. :)
When you're reputation as a swordsman is so great that you killing 3 Custodes simultaneously does not spark any scepticism and question from any 40k fan who knows who you are.
My first reaction was to open the datasheets for Drazhar and Custodian Guards.
@@garouHH What did you find out about their stats??
@@thydzz2180 I *guess* that such a fight might be the result of an unlikely alpha strike, but I don't quite believe it. I'm not game-experienced though, so don't trust my judgment. I'd like to see the result of that match being played100 times.
@@garouHH same here but the table top power scale is a bit more toned down compared to the actual lore. Toned down for balance purposes. You really cant play a game where a Custodes could simply one-shot Assault Marines with one action phase
Loved hearing the exarch getting out-chased! Great story as always
Thanks Love your work keep it up. For the emperor of man and for Rogal
For ROGAL!!!
What’s nice is their new rules make them deadly af.
Drazhar is the fallen Phoenix Lord, so I guess this is pretty darn close to an Aspect Warrior/Phoenix Lord video lol. I'm glad to have confirmation that it's coming!
Also, darn I was going to make a joke about him just being a a Thousand Son due to the dust theory. But that Ahriman quote kinda beat me to it.
Lastly, it always hilarious to rip a unit of these...degenerates to pieces with my Genestealers, just gotta rep my bois lol
This is amazing
The description of fight at the start reminded me of "Claymore" anime, to those that haven't watched it, you are in for a treat. Not 40k setting, but it's over powered monsters, vs half human half monster witches, trying to keep the monsters at bay and preserve human race. This losing of hands followed up by decapitation reminds me of how Maria of the faint smile met her end.
Baldermort, much love and keep it up. You deserve to become the greatest 40k story teller on YT❤...with subcribers and views to reflect that fact. I don't remember what was the name of the story you told, where you act played from first person, the bloodlust and infinite joy of some of these denizons of the night, made me feel all the excitement aswell, while picking a worthy target to first best in combat, then to "get to know his new friend, inside and out during torture", some poor astartes or was it just an imperial guardsman.. How he ended his life before the stoic human could faul their friendship by boo-hooing, or in other words crying, because his new friend is much to good to be left like that.
That whole story as dark and disturbing and exciting as it was made me feel everything, only to later remember how I hate sadists and how I could end each one that is proven to actually enjoy torturing other living beings..
Your passion towards the setting, makes it more alive even then Leutins masterfully picture filled videos. Thanks again brother.
Note: Her name was Teresa of the faint smile.
thankyu good sir excellent most excellent
Finally got a day off.., what a treat to find this episode waiting for “little old me”.
Hope all’s well {our} fine and humble narrator.
••• gotta say.., I’ve heard of these guys, now I know more..., and am even more disturbed, scary business, this••• and as always..,
Keep on playing, Player....😎
This is the benefit of the old ways... perfection.
Masterful. Draz and his Incubi are the core of my army of the dark kin.
The intro really set the tone; Dark Eldar (yes I know its Drukharii, but 🤷) and gives you a good feel for Incubi, they always felt the most badass of their forces and I liked them in DoW: Soul Storm, even if you got a few for Asdrubal’s bodyguards; they could hold their own and dish out some serious damage.
Also, I might be of the minority here, but I believe the Eldar and Imperium really should be working together against the forces of chaos and the Dark eldar.
Dark eldar is basically chaos eldar. They are not directly worshiping Slaneesh but are feeding her. In theory they are worshipping her by feeding her others agony. The dark eldar are chaos corrupted without them really realising it
Damn im a necron player and even i want to avenge this nameless striking scorpion
Amazing writing baldemort, you really did touch on the horror of the dark eldar
Yup, time to fire up the ol' Gauss Blasters...
You had me at Incubi and then you mentioned Drazhar Master of Blades! This has made my 2021 so thank you so much. I now own a Drazhar miniature and cannot wait for him to butcher his way through multitudes of cowering pig Mon keigh. It's all they deserve, because they are a prey species and nothing more.
I know so little about eldar and daark eldar, this was great !!
Well done! A terrifying opponent and a scary sect of Drukhari! Well Done Brother Baldermort!
Thanks brother Sulea. :) :)
While other dark eldar take their time to make their weapons deal as much pain as possible.
Incubi just go "first i spook ´em then i stab ´em!" then continue to cut down everything with a breath and a heartbeat.
Kinda unusual in the dark eldar society if you think about it...
you know they get off on the spoopiness
@@sessy01 And they pull off the whole Dark scary swordmaster without looking like absolute edgelords.
Thats one hell of a feat
You're right. Strangely un-eldar behavior.
Build up dread, but without any ostentation, and end it with jaw-dropping speed and efficiency.
Everything is oddly controlled, with only a hint of flair. Like an enraged harlequin who breaks character and just turbo-kills the target like the first arena fight in "Gladiator".
