Tonite on Ridiculous Gear: Bricky commits to the Dark Eldar and fills a jar, DK Tokyo Drifts a craftworld into a Imperium Planet and Shy becomes the littlest clown in the Harlequins
Between the Iyanden, Imperial Fists, and Lamenters, it's occurred to me that GW seemed to have enjoyed making groups who wear a lot of yellow and then getting them absolutely torn apart by the universe.
I mean the bad moon clan for the orks is often targeted by other ork clans for their fast rate of teeth growth (teeth is money to orks) and their color is... Bum Buda buuum.... Yellow lol
Apparently, back during the Eldar's peak years, Craftworlds used to be some kind of merchant/exploration ships, which would make the people who used and lived in it the Ancient Eldar equivalent of Rogue Traders. And also, just like their human equivalent, the Ancient Eldar noble class equivalent used to really look down on these Proto-Craftworlders... Yet these 'noble' Eldars were also the ones who murder-fucked Slaanesh into existence. The fact that it's the outcasts of the Ancient Eldar society and their descendants that now makes up the majority of the Eldar that survived to the present time is a delicious irony.
@@gokbay3057 There are actually more than five listed by Bricky here, most of them just got a bit of Fluff while these five are playable factions so they got a lot of focus. EDIT: Also remember that these things are, at minimum, bigger than the moon and at maximum, at least half as big as Earth, as in they can ram Earth, destroy it utterly and has a chance to remain somewhat intact.
How about one for the minor craftworlds? Overrun by Slanneshi demons, overrun by genestealers, overrun by orcs. They get bodied in ways that even the Imperial Guard would find depressing.
The eldar are space fantasy version of h€nt4i elves. Their role is getting fucked by everyone: Orks, humans, super human paladins and tentacle monsters aka the Nids.
I havent heard of one getting clapped by genesteelers. Makes sense, with that low of a population anomalies would be easy to spot, and genesteelers tend to have a very high libido to spread the infection faster. That would get noticed very fast
Ulthwe: "The next thing you'll say is, 'I was only pretending to inflict those mortals wounds'" Biel-Tan: "Make Eldar-ica Great Again!" Alaitoc: "Nuh-uh, you didn't hit me cause I have, like, ALL the minus to hit modifiers, so you can't hit me" Iyanden: *Bass Boosted My Chemical Romace Meme* Saim-Hann: "Hmm, yes, Da runes here say dat it's speedwaaagh time, jolly good, lets get ta krumpin den."
For those wondering there is actually a 6th named Craftworld you can play as called Altansar though I don't fault him too much as they did only recently come back from the Eye of Terror when their most famous member Maugen Ra found and piloted them out just as the Great Rift formed. They are a very umm shy lot since they aren't seen without their armor and they tend to barely speak above a whisper which if you've been in the Eye for 12k years it's understandable. Because of this though they are viewed with suspicion by the other Craftworlds but if Maugen Ra is around they won't say anything. They also full heartedly support the Ynnari if I recall.
@@boyanpenev9822 I mean I wouldn't call it edgy. At least I see the potential that this isn't the case. They could be very fearful for obvious reasons. Or are allready dust like the thousand sons
Btw DK is right, Alaitoc has so many rangers because the path of rangers is one where you kind of set your own rules a bit more than other paths, and so a lot of Alaitoc Eldar can’t handle the strictness of their craftworld.
Imagine being so strict that your craftworld becomes known for the abundance of people who went “fuck this” and left, rather than the discipline you hoped to achieve
Eldar has one of the greatest strip pole dancers in the galaxy. It is one of the greatest experiences in a lifetime and a simple man would gain a lifetime's worth of energy after one dance. -Emperor of Mankind working on Webway project a year before Horus Heresy
To be fair, the Necrons probably are the long term biggest threat. They are probably going to be the reason the nids don't win. Though nids are certainly is the biggest current threat.
For the TLDR of why the Prince got exiled is he was in charge of the craftworlds defenses and was really good at it. One day a Chaos fleet came close and he led All of their fighters to engage them, they won but then as usual Chaos raged and shot a bunch of missiles at the craftworld. The defenses, due to the Prince taking all their fighters, were able to stop all of the missiles except 1 which caused massive damage; which the Prince was blamed for.
@@averagecustodes2562 yes. If it weren't for him (the subject being the exiled prince) it would all (referring to the craft world) be that damaged (rather than one are of the craft wold being destroyed, the majority or entirety of the craft world being in such condition). Excuse me for not typing in longhand all the time.
The Saim-Hann and the White Scars are very similar, especially with the speed and keeping to traditions of their culture. It’d be interesting to see like a collaboration between them.
Only incident of them cooperating that I can remember is when an understrength Saim-Hann war party and an understrength deployment of White Scars, both of whom were severely fucked up from previous combat, ran across each other, realized neither of them could win but both of them needed to take a certain objective (think it was a comms tower), and decided to hold a race to see who got to send their message first. The Aeldari won, sent their message, stuck around long enough to help the White Scars send theirs, and both withdrew. I also just made that story up, but it probably happened at some point.
Aw yeah, the best faction! I was actually worried about this episode, given Bricky's... uh... feelings... but it turned out rather well! Hopefully we do more craftworld stuff soon, like the Phoenix Lords or Eldrad Ulthran (who is NOT DEAD, Bricky, don't let the wiki's mislead you).
The interesting part about Alaitoc is that their rules reflect a fighting force of sneaky rangers, that is almost entirely at odds with the culture of the Craftworld proper. Which makes perfect sense narratively: 99.999% of the time, if you're in armed conflict with Alaitoc, you're fighting their outriders and rangers. Just because of how insular and isolationist the core of their polity is. Which means if, for whatever reason, you wanted to run a Craftworld army that reflected Alaitoc's _core_ population - the highly regimented and disciplined "home guard" - you'd be better served using the custom Craftworld rules. It's just very odd, albeit logical, that "Alaitoc" rules reflect more the outcasts and peripheral population, rather than the Craftworld as it is described in the lore. While the books talk about Alaitoc as being the most disciplined about their Path, you aren't running those guys. You're running the guys who deliberately deviate from that culture.
I think its interesting how different it can be when it comes to language. Wraithbone in german localisation is known as "Phantomkristall" which would translate to "phantom/wraith crystal". The bonesingers are also known as "Kristallsänger"(crystal singers). Makes me wonder how much different other stuff is called. Seeing the stuff, it makes sense to call it bone as crystals are usually shiny, so I wonder why the localisation team for German thought "okay, we call it crystal, fuck it"
Fun fact: Eldar language and names are based on Gaelic and the names Biel Tan(Bell tan) and Saim Hann(Sam Hane) are actually holidays specifically Mayday and All Hallows Eve
See I have some knowledge of Gaelic and I’ve always pronounced it like Bale Than - which I always felt was the pronunciation (and because it sounds grim dark)
The nids are very vulnerable in space compared to every other faction. If all the races got together to blast the hive fleets in mid transit the nids would be done. Think about it, the nids can only travel through space at sub speed conpared to everyone else. Pop in pop out, blast them. Hit and run tactics, hit them hard in transit when they are the furthest away from any life bearing planet they are toast.
Is that even feasible for the imperium? Wouldn’t the shadow in the warp make a safe escape impossible or at least immensely dangerous. They can hit the warp button sure, but it’s not like the navigator would be able to safely guide the ship
So I'm a big white scars fan, and apparently there's an in canon rivalry between saim hann and the white scars. I like to imagine 10k years of bike racing
Wait wait wait wait... your telling me 2 dudes, both somewhere around 30, who are pretty much both edgelords in their 40k choices, love the colors black and red together?! Holy moly I couldn't have guessed.
Hey Shy? Your illustrations do more justice to these eldaari designs than their original creators. To my eye, you are really good at condensing busy detail greeblies into clean lineart, and your sense of silhouette gives many of these armor sets a much more athletic, capable look. I really enjoy these thumbnails each episode, and I think your style brings the more attractive elements of the grimdark aesthetic to the surface. You are making 40k more approachable from a distance, and that is a good thing for all of us. Great work. Hydra Dominatus.
Basically! Any Psyker can do it, but it does take training. A whole mess of training. That's why not every Aeldari is a Bonesinger, but every Aeldari can repair their own armor.
im torn between saim-hann cause i like their culture and lore and iyaden cause of wraiths, so i ask are saim-hann's wraiths are still good or are they too far geared to things like jetbikes and swooping hawks, cause i really want to be able to field almost nothing but wraiths
Saim hann wraiths are actually pretty good At least the wraith blades are. The trait allows them to re roll charges which is pretty good for the slow wraiths, but they are mainly meant to be used for aspect warriors and shining spears who get bonuses for charging
Wraith guard are thankful to have either traits. Fallback and charge from saim hann. Iyanden dont actually have any attributes that benefit just wraiths but rather toughening up all their units against low ap and loyalty tests. Only their relic and warlord traits are targeted at seers and wraiths
50:00 make no mistake, the Eldar are stoic and disciplined but they still feel emotion intensely and the wind-riders of Saim-Hann are positively exhilirated by the speed and skill they manage to ride those jetbikes with.
This episode had some great tangents for those who don't know much about Eldar. Discussing what Craftworlds are to what Wraithbone is, Ulthwe to seers, Biel-Tan to Aspect Warriors. Makes perfect sense to bring it up at that moment. Also I'm sure someone will explain the symbolic reason for drinking from their wrists to Bricky, Eldar mythology stuff that's kinda cool.
You know ? This episode made me a big fan of the Iyanden ! Of the few things I liked of the Eldars I always liked their wraith constructs and it's cool that there's a full-on ghost craftworld, the concept seems very sick ! But their colors are... Ew... If I were to make them I'd add some blue trims and replace the bright-ass yellow with GOLD. Because the more I think about it the more I'm convinced they wanted to give them an egyptian ruin vibe, like the wraithlords and wraithguards but as walking sarcophagus and mummies. That could be a really dope concept to explore for a paintjob ! But alas... Marge Simpson Y_Y
@@jenkhemhuffersanonymous3990 I mean Blood Angels, Necrons and stuffs have gold in them so idk... Maybe they wanted to keep the bone texture or the wraithbone by not making it look too metal/chromed ?
I've got a headcanon about why Iyanden might change colors. Go from that terrible yellow-and-blue to bone-white. Why? Mourning. Since basically everyone is dead aboard Iyanden, make it bone-white, so that when a warrior marches into battle, they carry their death shroud with them.
Bealtain is named as such as it is the celtic fire festival of summers start. So if they wanna restart the eldar empire they wanna try n restart the eldar's summers.
I feel like DK would probably really like Mymeara actually. We've got a pretty dope color scheme and the lore has a lot of what he liked about Iyanden. Plus, extra ghost theming with our specialty in shadow specters. We're kind of a combination of the best bits of Alaitoc and Iyanden. A bunch of stealthy ghosts getting fucked over by life and trying to make the best of it, and everyone loves a good arctic aesthetic.
I saw Swooping Hawks and I got real sad because Eternal Crusade is no more. Never again will I soar over Orks and shred them with psychic crystal guns.
speaking of D canon. since it uses the warp, does it work while it's traceling trought the warp ? and does shooting something means there's a chance to summon a deamon trought the shot ?
@@ladywaffle2210 could still happen, especially considering those are eldars we're talking about, ok top of all of them being pschukers, they have an entire chaos god who's actively seeking them out, so you could make the argument that a perticularly fast deamon could get trought. althought yeah, it's very unlikely
@@isuckatusernames4297 There's the minor issue that they actively keep themselves "camouflaged" in the Warp by tamping down their Psykeryness, thus hiding from Slaanesh's view.
I faced the Aeldar for the first time a month ago against a friend. I will say it felt like I need to read his codex to understand how to defeat them. I deep strike in something into his backline and he gets to take a free shot. I charge into something and they get to move away before I can charge. I did get even with his snipers. They got into cover and they get like an extra save when they do that. I was Necrons and I used solar pulse to remove their benefits of cover :P If I had one phrase to sum up the experience it would be this. "Well, if I knew that would happen I wouldn't have done this"
Ill be honest Im looking forward to this because I want to hear about all the craft worlds from Os'Tara,Saim-hann, ulthwe, ynnari, alaitoc, biel-tan, and Lyanden
I've known about 40K for at least 20 years by now mainly through cultural osmosis online, but I literally never realized it's "Saim-Hann", not "Samm-Hain". Dyslexia is fun.
Whenever I play Xenoverse 2, I sometimes joke that the Otherworld is actually a series of Eldar Craft World in the warp. Which is really easy considering the Kai look suspiciously like Eldar to me.
WH40k has always said, sure the lasgun is weak but wait till you get shot at by a million of them. Meanwhile eldar in 7th, "Ok? They still won't hit." (insert neo meme.)
Probably already been said somewhere here, and I’m not combing through 500 odd comments to see, but the big kit bash ork was made by the store manger of the Manchester UK GW and it’s even better in person 😁
If DK likes the whole "dead walk again" & "ghost town filled with ghosts" thing from the Iyanden craftworld he should definitely check out the Vampire Counts and the cursed province of Sylvania from Warhammer Fantasy imo. Their whole deal is that plus count Dracula and an extremely gothic aesthetic like the empire of man in 40k. They also have some really cool/badass characters like Vlad von Carstien, Abhorash and Neferata.
No love for Altansar ? Their not shown in the codex, but there is extensive lore and some rules in a recent issue of White Dwarf. P.S. Biel-Tan rocks and I love it's color scheme. It looks spectacular on vehicles, especialy the "thorn patterns" on the green armour plating.
I was listening to the podcast while I was doing something else, and when the Rick roll came in I honestly to God thought my phone had started playing an arby n the chief episode.
Broken record here! Please consider making Adeptus Animucus with DK as lead! First episode - BERSERK! I really would love to hear Brickys reactions! :D Awesome episode guys. Love your stuff!
@ the quote/intro lol I zoned out during the quote for the eLdAr just like DK did. DK said it was a long quote, but it really wasn't. Eldar writing is really just that eye-roll inducing most of the time. 🙄 (So im totally on DKs vibe, not saying he was 'wrong')

Eldar: we’re the good guys...
Me: hotter take than normalising Murderfuckking
Wraithbone guns don't have triggers, they fire when the Eldar psychically will it to. That's how much of a conduit it is
So I'm a big white scars fan, and apparently there's an in canon rivalry between saim hann and the white scars. I like to imagine 10k years of bike racing
Wait wait wait wait... your telling me 2 dudes, both somewhere around 30, who are pretty much both edgelords in their 40k choices, love the colors black and red together?! Holy moly I couldn't have guessed.
White and green does look shit though in my opinion
@@AJGamingStreams oh without a doubt lmao
If you want a good story about a class between Saim-han and White Scars I strongly recommend the white tiger and red eagle story by Baldemort
Hey Shy? Your illustrations do more justice to these eldaari designs than their original creators.
To my eye, you are really good at condensing busy detail greeblies into clean lineart, and your sense of silhouette gives many of these armor sets a much more athletic, capable look.
I really enjoy these thumbnails each episode, and I think your style brings the more attractive elements of the grimdark aesthetic to the surface. You are making 40k more approachable from a distance, and that is a good thing for all of us.
Great work.
Hydra Dominatus.
So wraithbone is like clay you can mould with your mind
Basically! Any Psyker can do it, but it does take training. A whole mess of training. That's why not every Aeldari is a Bonesinger, but every Aeldari can repair their own armor.
im torn between saim-hann cause i like their culture and lore and iyaden cause of wraiths, so i ask are saim-hann's wraiths are still good or are they too far geared to things like jetbikes and swooping hawks, cause i really want to be able to field almost nothing but wraiths
Paint them as saim-hann and use iyadan rules
Saim hann wraiths are actually pretty good
At least the wraith blades are. The trait allows them to re roll charges which is pretty good for the slow wraiths, but they are mainly meant to be used for aspect warriors and shining spears who get bonuses for charging
Wraith guard are thankful to have either traits. Fallback and charge from saim hann. Iyanden dont actually have any attributes that benefit just wraiths but rather toughening up all their units against low ap and loyalty tests. Only their relic and warlord traits are targeted at seers and wraiths
50:00
make no mistake, the Eldar are stoic and disciplined but they still feel emotion intensely and the wind-riders of Saim-Hann are positively exhilirated by the speed and skill they manage to ride those jetbikes with.
Do the sneaky Bois raven guard next pretty please.
What a great day, woke up, played some Horus Heresy, went home, watched Adeptus Ridiculus!
I actually freaking love Iyandan's color scheme. I use it for a lot of my own stuff, personally--and by total coincidence!
This episode had some great tangents for those who don't know much about Eldar. Discussing what Craftworlds are to what Wraithbone is, Ulthwe to seers, Biel-Tan to Aspect Warriors. Makes perfect sense to bring it up at that moment.
Also I'm sure someone will explain the symbolic reason for drinking from their wrists to Bricky, Eldar mythology stuff that's kinda cool.
You know ? This episode made me a big fan of the Iyanden ! Of the few things I liked of the Eldars I always liked their wraith constructs and it's cool that there's a full-on ghost craftworld, the concept seems very sick !
But their colors are... Ew... If I were to make them I'd add some blue trims and replace the bright-ass yellow with GOLD. Because the more I think about it the more I'm convinced they wanted to give them an egyptian ruin vibe, like the wraithlords and wraithguards but as walking sarcophagus and mummies. That could be a really dope concept to explore for a paintjob !
But alas... Marge Simpson Y_Y
I bet they didn't make them gold cos of the lamest space marines the ultramarines being the the main characters
@@jenkhemhuffersanonymous3990 I mean Blood Angels, Necrons and stuffs have gold in them so idk... Maybe they wanted to keep the bone texture or the wraithbone by not making it look too metal/chromed ?
Lyanden wraithguard speaking to orks be like, "I'll krump with ya sweetie pie"
*Opens can of whoopass*
I've got a headcanon about why Iyanden might change colors. Go from that terrible yellow-and-blue to bone-white. Why? Mourning. Since basically everyone is dead aboard Iyanden, make it bone-white, so that when a warrior marches into battle, they carry their death shroud with them.
I’d say I wish you guys covered Mymeara since it’s playable I believe, but that craftworld is a rabbit hole of a ludicrous amount of lore.
Some may like the colorful blurr of the harlequins. But you know whats really funny? Hazard stripes on Iron warriors, hmpf, hahahaha....
Bealtain is named as such as it is the celtic fire festival of summers start. So if they wanna restart the eldar empire they wanna try n restart the eldar's summers.
Im painting up my Eldar army and this drops? Its all about biel tan babyyyyyyy
Origin of the word Swordwind: it's the name of the sound a blade makes when you swing.
I honestly don't understand why people hate Ilylden's scheme.
It looks good on the wraith constructs in my opinion. The normal soldiers look like shit...
But it's mostly wraith constructs so who cares!
I feel like DK would probably really like Mymeara actually. We've got a pretty dope color scheme and the lore has a lot of what he liked about Iyanden. Plus, extra ghost theming with our specialty in shadow specters. We're kind of a combination of the best bits of Alaitoc and Iyanden. A bunch of stealthy ghosts getting fucked over by life and trying to make the best of it, and everyone loves a good arctic aesthetic.
I don't know rolling up with the most awful of color schemes and forcing my opponent to look at them always brightens my day
Wow, so DK liked the Eldar who ride around in giant robots, Why, whoever could have guessed that a Weaboo like him would have liked that?
I love how "little guy" has gone from inside joke to "idgaf here you go" energy
I saw Swooping Hawks and I got real sad because Eternal Crusade is no more. Never again will I soar over Orks and shred them with psychic crystal guns.
OMG OMG OMG they finally did it. I hope this isn't another Eldari punching bag vid....
With Bonesingers and D-Cannons being mentioned, I expected more dirty talk :P
Gotta say, cant wait for an episode on Maugan-Ra
Can't wait until DK learns about the Lion and his feelings towards Robute lol. I'm sure he's gonna like him. Lol
20:03 It's named Biel-Tan after the ancient Celtic holiday Beltane. Most of the Craftworld names are derived from the Gaelic language.
speaking of D canon.
since it uses the warp, does it work while it's traceling trought the warp ? and does shooting something means there's a chance to summon a deamon trought the shot ?
I'd assume so, and no. The bit of the Warp it opens doesn't stay open long enough nor give enough warning for daemons to get out.
@@ladywaffle2210 could still happen, especially considering those are eldars we're talking about, ok top of all of them being pschukers, they have an entire chaos god who's actively seeking them out, so you could make the argument that a perticularly fast deamon could get trought.
althought yeah, it's very unlikely
@@isuckatusernames4297 There's the minor issue that they actively keep themselves "camouflaged" in the Warp by tamping down their Psykeryness, thus hiding from Slaanesh's view.
I faced the Aeldar for the first time a month ago against a friend. I will say it felt like I need to read his codex to understand how to defeat them. I deep strike in something into his backline and he gets to take a free shot. I charge into something and they get to move away before I can charge. I did get even with his snipers. They got into cover and they get like an extra save when they do that. I was Necrons and I used solar pulse to remove their benefits of cover :P
If I had one phrase to sum up the experience it would be this. "Well, if I knew that would happen I wouldn't have done this"
Iyanden’s original color scheme used to be white and blue. Biel Tan has some cool grey-green and tan green alternate schemes.
I like Biel-Tan's color scheme.
I just love that Striking Scorpions are so clearly based on Predators.
Ill be honest Im looking forward to this because I want to hear about all the craft worlds from Os'Tara,Saim-hann, ulthwe, ynnari, alaitoc, biel-tan, and Lyanden
the mom clap back ahahhahahaha " HE COULDN'T SATISFY ME" LMFAO
Eldar are more of Celtic Mythology and Theology. Samhain is precursor to Halloween and Day of the Dead.
Ahh yes the Vanilla space elves. After the so much BDSM flavor finally some classic food
When the Eldussy so good it makes a Chaos god
that was an excellent "lah di dah di dah"
Eldar: "We have discovered and crafted a way so that we may never give our souls to the warp"
Humans: "Why dont we have tha- BANG"
The chapter titles got me rolling, keep it up guys
Me, who has never read into elder before: "Oh I dunno, yellow and blue isn't that bad of a colour sch--"
"Oh."
I've known about 40K for at least 20 years by now mainly through cultural osmosis online, but I literally never realized it's "Saim-Hann", not "Samm-Hain". Dyslexia is fun.
Wraith Guard are like Termies
Whenever I play Xenoverse 2, I sometimes joke that the Otherworld is actually a series of Eldar Craft World in the warp.
Which is really easy considering the Kai look suspiciously like Eldar to me.
That "Gesundheit" killed me xD
anyone else thinking of a biel tan eldar wearing a red hat that says make aldari great again
WH40k has always said, sure the lasgun is weak but wait till you get shot at by a million of them.
Meanwhile eldar in 7th, "Ok? They still won't hit." (insert neo meme.)
Makes me think of In the Garden of Ghosts. One of the only good hammer and bolter episodes, good eldar feels.
The infinite logo is also considered another form or symbol of the oroboros, which is a serpent as well. Ooooo spot on GW! Eeeoooee
I want to paint a bunch of Iyanden with lime green cuirasses now.
Eldar version of white scars? Naw, they're the eldar version of Evil Sunz! We did it best and we do it Redder!
Probably already been said somewhere here, and I’m not combing through 500 odd comments to see, but the big kit bash ork was made by the store manger of the Manchester UK GW and it’s even better in person 😁
You have insulted Iyanden, the best one.
Let's go for an Angry Marine episode!!
Black hole gun, wont ya come, warp away the monkai!!! Black hole gun warp you some!!!
If DK likes the whole "dead walk again" & "ghost town filled with ghosts" thing from the Iyanden craftworld he should definitely check out the Vampire Counts and the cursed province of Sylvania from Warhammer Fantasy imo. Their whole deal is that plus count Dracula and an extremely gothic aesthetic like the empire of man in 40k. They also have some really cool/badass characters like Vlad von Carstien, Abhorash and Neferata.
Chad Von Carstein*

Thank you for the time stamps
oh shit,
a Dornian Heresy Episode?
would absolutely love to see it
No love for Altansar ? Their not shown in the codex, but there is extensive lore and some rules in a recent issue of White Dwarf.
P.S.
Biel-Tan rocks and I love it's color scheme. It looks spectacular on vehicles, especialy the "thorn patterns" on the green armour plating.
Idk why considering they used to be in an older codex; along with Lugganath, Yme-Loc, Il-Kaithe and Iybraesil.
Really like that the whole podcast it about meat and potatoes
I was listening to the podcast while I was doing something else, and when the Rick roll came in I honestly to God thought my phone had started playing an arby n the chief episode.
Broken record here!
Please consider making Adeptus Animucus with DK as lead! First episode - BERSERK!
I really would love to hear Brickys reactions! :D
Awesome episode guys. Love your stuff!
How much of the video will these two spend on "little guy" jokes? Place your bets gentlemen
Just a few mate, a small amount pal, maybe…. A little, guy
I don't even play Eldar, but goddamn i love Wraith Guards.
@ the quote/intro lol I zoned out during the quote for the eLdAr just like DK did. DK said it was a long quote, but it really wasn't. Eldar writing is really just that eye-roll inducing most of the time. 🙄
(So im totally on DKs vibe, not saying he was 'wrong')
“Bealtaine” pronounced byell-tun-uh, and is the modern irish word for the month of may.
How mystical…
