You already know how to please the Machine Gods at this point so thank you so much. And make your voices heard for which faction you would like to see next!

Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching.
The Dark Eldar, also known as Drukhari, are a sinister and malevolent faction in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Originating from the ancient Eldar civilization before its catastrophic fall, the Dark Eldar differ from their Craftworld kin by embracing the corruption that led to their society's downfall. They retreated into the Webway, establishing the dark metropolis of Commorragh. This city, vast and labyrinthine, is the heart of Dark Eldar civilization, a place of perpetual darkness and home to millions of Dark Eldar and alien beasts. Commorragh is divided into numerous districts, each controlled by different Kabals, Wych Cults, and Haemonculi Covens, featuring gladiatorial arenas, armories, and vehicle bays
Dark Eldar society is structured around these Kabals, Wych Cults, and Haemonculi Covens. Each Kabal is led by an Archon, who maintains power through assassination and ruthless governance. Wyches, the gladiatorial warriors, are organized into Wych Cults, performing in arenas for both sustenance and entertainment. The Haemonculi, twisted flesh-sculptors, run the Covens, providing dark technologies and grotesque enhancements. Over time, Dark Eldar suffer from "The Thirst," an all-consuming need to drink the souls of other beings to stave off the leeching effect of Slaanesh, the Chaos God who consumes their souls upon death
Biologically, Dark Eldar possess superior strength, reflexes, and senses compared to their Craftworld cousins, attributed to their physically demanding lifestyle and perpetual conflict within Commorragh. They lack psychic abilities, avoiding them to prevent attracting the attention of Slaanesh. Technologically, Dark Eldar are highly advanced, utilizing anti-gravity devices, dark matter weaponry, and various poisonous and destructive tools. Their weaponry, such as Splinter Rifles, Dark Lances, and specialized close combat weapons, emphasizes speed, precision, and lethality. Vehicles like the Raider and Voidraven Bomber are designed for rapid assaults and devastating strikes
Notable figures in Dark Eldar society include Asdrubael Vect, the supreme overlord of the Kabal of the Black Heart, and Lelith Hesperax, the renowned gladiator and leader of the Wych Cult of Strife. These leaders epitomize the cunning, ruthlessness, and martial prowess that define the Dark Eldar

Bring forth the flaming boys who definitely aren’t the Emperor’s demons and most definitely aren’t led by one of his dead sons
Yes, legion of the damned.
Dark/damned Dorn?! Yikes
@@williambuchan5637 Not Dorn. Ferrus Manus
@@williambuchan5637 Dorn's not dead
@@williambuchan5637dont lose your head its ferrus manus
The Legion of the Danged!!!
Dibbled, and Damned.
Vote cast out there for the emperor's favorite ghost riders.
Yea want a video on them their not that many in depth on the legion of the dam
FOR THE DAMNED!!!!
FOR THOSE IN FLAME
FOR THOSE IN LIGHT
FOR THOSE IN HIS SIGHT
MAY YOU FEEL THE EMPERORS SMITE
i would love to see what their theories and ideas on who are they
I'm with it, I love the Legion fo the Damned and want to see them go in depth on the boys.
I can just imagine Khorne struggling SO HARD, that he becomes RED from the pressure of keeping her from being born.
I can just imagine.
your dance around getting demonetized by slaanesh would make the harlequins proud
ALPHA LEGION STANDS
Beckon Vashtorr, because that's request ain't free
They maybe not definitely stand, yesn’t they don’t mayeb
It’s clear that you are not in fact alpharious
no it doesnt it sits OR does it?
@@ethang7716 or by the simple fact you’re saying that, he is Alpharius
LEGION OF THE DAMNED.
I am also shadow voting for a War of the Beast episode.
I've yet to see an in-depth dive into the war of da beast.
Probably because it's a 12 book series of a little-known time period lol
Still deserves its time in the light though!
Yea legion of the dam
@@TerrificRallyMaestro looks like I'm tracking down 12 books to add to my designated "to be read" stack
FOR THOSE IN FLAME
FOR THOSE IN LIGHT
FOR THOSE IN HIS SIGHT
MAY YOU FEEL THE EMPERORS SMITE
For the guy who get completely disassembled it's like if you take your car completely apart just to replace one bolt really well
The episode after Koda said it wouldn’t happen. You love to see it.
+1 vote for the legion of the damned
LETS GOOOOOO LEGION OF THE DAMNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Nurgle has you both turning into pox walkers.
Isyander and Koda x Darktide crossover 🤔😱
BLOOD FOR THE GOLDEN PLAY BUTTON, SKULLS FOR THE SHELF OF MANY THINGS (runs to patreon)
Isyander’s utter joy at talking about the Dark Eldar has somehow made them one of my favorite factions in the setting. I must find some books about them to read.
Noooooo don't enjoy the sticky elves they're gross 😭
Deldar omnibus is a classic. Great characters, showcases not just them but also the lesser known factions of the Eldar even, like the Exodites and the Harlequins. You get a glimpse into Eldar history as a whole.
There's the Lilith Hesperax novel coming out soon, written by Mike Brooks, who's written quite a few great xenos books already, Orks in particular, and one of his books (Da Big Dakka) did feature a Drukhari POV. He's great!
Other than that you really only have short stories and codices to read Deldar lore from. If you want some video games, Dawn of War Soulstorm has an... okay-ish Deldar campaign. The Rogue Trader CRPG by Owlcat Games _heavily_ features them too, they're real fun there!
@@Sercotani reading the Path Of The Dark Eldar trilogy after the Path Of The Eldar trilogy is...
God it was night and day... But I got both Striking Scorpions and Incubus stories, so at least there's that.
@@SercotaniI’ve heard about that Lilith book, and the Dark Eldar novels, will definitely be picking them up!
It’s infuriating how these two make me love factions I never thought I would have, only to not be able to find books about them for a decent price.
Legion of the Damned need to appear out of the blue when you least expect them
Yes
Just like in lore.
Legion of the Damned is just Warp Spanish Inquisition?!?!?!
The cursed thought that Slaanesh was a Minecraft youtuber before they became a god.
Wait what. That's what this means? I now wonder if I even want to search
Lots of Minecraft youtubers turn out to be predators@@asimplepersonwithoutideas1816
Am I the only one who imagines her with a vtuber avatar while playing?
Not gonna lie I still dont get it, any hints that wont get me or you banned?
@@eonaon6914 search on incognito to not have a problem for typing whatever
MINOTAURS!!!!! bring forth the most definitely unquestionably not heretical minotoars. 10/10 episode for the edgy dark bois
How can you be heretical when you are the tax man?
Dark Eldar version of the Booty Warrior "I calls u Chris Handsome"😂😂😂
Legion of the Damned is one of my favorite concepts cause imperial demons open a fuck ton of potential story and creatures design. I give them my vote.
Khorne: we already have enough competitors in this game, we do not need someone who is down bad every five seconds.
He said I alone can bear the burden
Proto-Slaanesh: hold me harder, daddy
Minotaurs! Minotaurs! Iron Warri- I mean Minotaurs!
I like that the Drukhari are the end of the road of all the ‘ends justify the means’ and ‘Orks aren’t evil, they’re just having fun’ philosophies.
Legion of the Damned sounds like a fun episode. I don't know a whole lot about them
One other eldar god survived, Isha was claimed by Nurgle. He literally laid siege to Slaaneshs realm in order to take her for himself.
Nurgle and his big tittied eldar gf
Also Cegorach obviously
@@12gagegaming43 Naturally but he never even got caught.
Nurgle keeps her in his special jar.
Ghost Rider space marines sound really good. Let's do it man.
Just realized how accurate this is for the legion of the damned
Reading the title of the video I cant help but picture Charlee Sheen as a dark eldar screaming WINNING while high out of his mind 😂
20:13 Tzeentch was like "This is a canon event, bro just let it happen."
Minotaurs! We making it out of Guillmans dog house with this one!
Not gonan lie i love the transitions from topic to topic here, genuinely helps keep things on track and i wouldnt hate to see stuff like this but more customized for each video
I agree!
YEA 😁
The subtle coordination of the clothing, IYSANDER YOU MONSTER 😂
I didn't get the joke. Can you explain?
@@ClockwerkMan the hub
@@headrush3196I had no idea what you meant. I googled images for "The Hub". After scrolling through interminable lists of bars by that name, I found a Spotify image that was orange and black. I clicked it.
Within seconds my ears were bleeding.
May others learn from my foolish mistake.
Well, I'll be Legion of the Damned. I've been waiting for them
I hate how funny this comment is to me
Yea want a video on the dam it would be really cool
Y’all are the best warhammer channel I swear
I was watching these guys before their 40k videos and I was a massive 40k fan and then they went almost pure Warhammer and I've watched every video they are sooooo good.
As long as you guys keep putting out fire content like this take as long as you need to recover from nurgles gift
As much as I would LOVE to see you guys talk about LotD, I have to cast my vote for the Crimson Fists.
The ORIGINAL poster boys of the WH40K setting with the single most amazing vehicle in the entire Imperium, A SINGLE NAMED LAND RAIDER.
A single named land raider that *slaps*
"Rynn's Might" is the name if anyone wants to look it up. The death scene is epic.
@@Daemonik Rynn's Might is such a cool scene from that book.
Legion of the dammed seems neat, never heard of them.
If you want an interesting take on them in the meantime watch the Luetin video, its all about the speculation surrounding them so it'll be like hearing rumors before Koda and Isyander find the truth lol
Oh they're one of the coolest chapters of space marines
Damn, didn’t expect the Drukhari would ever make it out of the Loser’s Bracket, but pleasantly surprised to hear more about the Xenos.
As for this new poll, I’d like to cast my vote for the Celestial Lions, cause I know nothing about ‘em.
Still holding out hope that you’ll touch on the Kroot and the Watchers in a future episode (I know neither have enough for a full episode, but I just wanna hear more about my favourite fellas)!
Hope Nurgle un-blesses you both soon.
Also, newer to the greater 40k universe, but once i stumbled across your page through my shorts and fyp I have speed ran these lore videos. Love the dedication you feel coming from Isyander and the wonder of learning Koda goves off. Can't wait to see whats next.
Legion of the Damned are super neat. Let's learn more about those.
Minotaurs are the high lords dogs, they’re also cool though so I vote for them
ALPHA LEGION
Send forth the Legion of The Damned!!
Not even death has stopped them from fulfilling their duties to the Imperium!
Isyander is now an honorary member of the Wych Cult with how well he danced around all the dangerous, salacious, sharp pointy Drukhari bits
Well done you guys i love this episode also LEGION OF THE DAMNED FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
From my understanding on the Birth of Slaanesh, there was a time before Slaanesh but time doesn't really... exist in the warp? So Slaanesh has always existed and yet has a moment of birth after the others. Also, they're why the Eye of Terror exists!
Yeah The Warp is all kinds of messy, so there was both a time where Slaanesh was always there, and there was also a point where Slaanesh was not strong enough to be an equal to the other 3.
Oh heck yeah, I love the Celestian Lions and can't wait to hear you expand on them.
Is it back and forth has gotten much better thank you
Vect did stop the story short for that man he was telling the story too, and he gave him a super laxative as well.
Legion OF THE DAMNED!
Cheers for managing the make this despite being sick, I too am a bit unwell so empathy there.
I saw y'all posted the video within 20 minutes of it dropping. but because y'all's videos are like Thanksgiving dinner when it comes to everything I love in a video, I have to prepare myself to write a bookish because damn Isyander the effort is not unseen. The fact that you made Koda wear that with him getting it, I assume you even told him what you were wearing. Hell y'all are so smart with this stuff y'all could have made this together with every joke perfectly planned. Just the alpha legion sections shows how much y'all are willing to do. I will watch the video and comment at some point tonight. Have a good rest of y'all's day.
Legion of the Damned please please please there's not enough hype around them.
THE 12 HOUR HERESY VIDEO SHALL BE CREATED! LET THE SEAS BOIL, LET THE STARS FALL!
Now all i can think about is the hit Drukhari show, To Catch a Slave, where Khris'h Hah'nsen runs down random people outside the Webway to drag them into his basement. He then had a conservation with them in the most calm TCAP style, while torturing them.
It's been running for 600 seasons, and has just been renewed for another 66 seasons.
Legion of the Damned, Shut Up & Take My Money!
YEA
We finally got the drukhari episode let’s goo. Finally a faction who knows how to party. PS get well soon
Thank you Koda for the multiple Disco Elysium references
10:46 In the spirit of the dark eldar video, the hawk tuah girl is the most recent random person with lots of eyes on them.
A video about the Legion of the Damned would be interesting.
Minotaurs and wherever the Alpha Legion is hiding
Thank you for covering these monsters
I vote for the Minotaurs, since I wanna hear more about the Lamentors (and the beating they received). However, I would love videos covering invidual chapters, sounds good! Great work, as always!
Give me a minotaur’s or give me death!
The look on Lysander face is hilarious when he mentions the innuendo counter. Also I vote for the Weird Boyz!
Awesome video! I love listening while painting :)
So many cool choices this time, but I’d have to vote for Celestial Lions 🦁
16:05 that was the most horrible description of the fall I ever witnessed and You didn't even describe a single thing but my mind is giving me a lot of psychic damage rn
LEGION OF THE DAMNED FOR BIG E
Like for Minotaurs!
“Perhaps the Emperor will forgive you. I WILL NOT!”
"He is 'the end and the death'...but" expert slip of a heresy book title in there. I tip my hat to thee.
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I’m loving it. It finally fills the warp left in my heart after FudgeMuppet canceled the elder scrolls podcast.
Bout damn time these guys got rheir episode. Also for the polls, I'm down for anything EXECPT the minotaurs! WHATEVER Y'ALL VOTE FOR PLEASE, FOR THE EMPEROR'S SAKE! I'LL VOTE FOR ANYTHING Y'ALL WANT JUST.DON'T.VOTE.THE MINOTAURS! I'M ON MY HANDS AND KNEES FOR THIS! *PLEASE!* 😭🙏
Sorry i helped write The Minotaurs script soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo shrug emoji
Sorry. Minotaurs.
@@VladLogimane 💀
Also legion of the dam whant a video on them
I’m really curious about all of the other three so I’m voting against the crimson fist here! Great episode guys!
Legion of the damnd also loved the pet.The shirt is back
Legion of the damned for the win
Legion of the damned!
To quote Zarhulash the Potentate (a C'Tan): the chaos gods are "Emergent consciousnessess caused by etheric disturbance".
All the gods of Chaos that are and will be, are the result of several concepts congealing into a single entity that then attains enough power and prominence to become autonomous. Slanesh existed before it's "birth", it just wasn't Slanesh yet.
Khorne was probably "born" from the War in Heaven, Tzeench might have been "born" from the Decievers plot to ensnare the Necrontyr.
Isaynder speak so good, with I could that way good too
I CAST MY VOTE FOR THE MINOTAURS
yes minotaur's i wanna learn about them!!!
“Perhaps the Emperor will forgive you. I WILL NOT!!!”
Minotaurs RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
@@sydalg95 is raaaaaaagh something the minotaur's say?
Yeah i just don’t want them to fall into the losers bracket
Legion of the damned or the Minotaurs
Thank you as always😊
This patreon episode is gonna be wild
My next vote is for the Damned
Legion of the Damned!
The CornTub reference shall we say was F*CKING BRILLIANT! Holy hell in a handbasket it didn’t hit me till he mentioned the colors and then I died lol brilliant writing
Vect "the ops wanted me to use some initiative I blew the quadrant up"
LEGIEON OF THE DAMNED !!!!!!!!
The Minotaurs ftw!
And with this you've done all my 3 favorite factions
That apex predator bit was gold
Legion of the Damned
Legion of the damned! Or we riot !
Lets go for the legion of the damned! Love to see the emperor's ghost riders💀🔥
Id love to hear more about the legion of the damned, its so interesting to speculate what they are and it opens a lot of discussions of different similar entities and the nature of the warp as a whole
legion of the damned
Guy in Sicko shirt: Yes!! YEESS!!! YEEEEEESSSSS!!!! Also MINOTAAAURRSSS i know the Legion of the Damned is gonna win but C'MON MINOTAURS
Alpha Legion, love seeing your videos!
The moment of cursed realization was absolutely beautiful.
A vote for the Damned Legion, and a vote against the Minotaurs

Man I love Isyander. He's such a nerd but he's so on point about being a nerd.
Lets go minitours!
Episode 8 of fortifying for the imperial fists “ large daemon engines have been spotted marching toward the front lines” also I vote the celestial lions
