40k history: Eldar

[BrokenSp00n]

Wait if they live for 1000 years how are they a dying race? o_O

[69GoreGasm]

@BrokenSp00n because...living for 1000 years doesnt mean you live forever...they can still die, it just takes longer...

[gurtznak]

@BrokenSp00n They have no planets. And they are not that many as they used to be. They are being killed as soon as anyone sees them.

[BrokenSp00n]

@gurtznak Has there ever been a cross breed of an eldar and human?

[gurtznak]

@BrokenSp00n Not that I have read since Eldar is Xenos and hated by all humans. And as you know even civilians are brainwashed to think the same.

[Eurasian20]

@Partyffs They just got a new history.

[SpaceNinja197]

Actually its believed that the fall of the Eldar occured around M25 when the age of strife began and the warp went bat **** more then ususal due to the birth of Slaanesh. His creation was a result of Eldar behaving badly for well over a a thousand years. The eldar mentioned are ones who reformed thier wicked acts.

[derZockerschlechthin]

witches

[Ricochet8844]

Why are the Imperium at war with the Eldar? The Eldar don't seem very bad.

[lingojac]

@Ricochet8844 The Imperium survives on the belief that the human race alone is worthy enough to own the galaxy, and that it's better to trust no alien race at all than to leave yourself open to xenos treachery.

[raargh2]

@Ricochet8844 because this is not star trek, star wars or any other sci setting full of goodygood guys.In 40k there is no good guy.What you call "not so bad" is a race of egocentric assholes,easely willing to trade entire worlds to save an handful of their own

also, the imperium of man is a xenophobic dictatorial theocracy with the declared intent to eradicate the entire galaxy of all non human life.

Eldar are just another xeno scum to purge

[kickthetv643]

dam eldar messing up the whole galaxy

[TheRuggernator]

@redchicken basically, that's the theory put forth by some farseers; that when the last eldar dies, a "death god" will be birthed as slaanesh was, but it will destroy slaanesh and bring "balance" back... basically it'll be like Vader defeating Palpatine at the end after all those years of helping him secure his position and power.

[69yoshika]

all they are is a pain in the ass to fight if your opponent is experienced and you use a lot of vehicles.

[DefiantTiger]

how bout some space marine chapter history, like blood angels dark angels ect.

[ShadowKnight275]

and also where do the dark eldar fit into this?

[antifysik]

@ShadowKnight275 The Dark Eldar are basically Eldar that went down the darker path before The Fall and managed to escape though the Web Way when The Fall occurred.

[ShadowKnight275]

@antifysik I always thought that they were Eldar who had stayed on the planet and survived the awakening of Slanesh...but then they would still be on the crone worlds and that's obviously not the case as the Dark eldar homeworld is not a crone world.

[ShadowKnight275]

you guys know what i wana see?

HARLEQUIN HISTORY BABY!!! WOOOT

[cccpKAZIMIRcccp]

if i ever come to a piont were i start an army other than my choas force its going to be them

[makakooos]

@cccpKAZIMIRcccp I am starting them right now, after 8years of Chaos Space Marines :) Saim-hann is my choice...

[cccpKAZIMIRcccp]

Kinda Sad

[Fluffyfier]

"... With a certain degree of awkwardness." I lol'd.

[CheffBryan]

I always thought of the Eldar as just Elves In Space, but this video made them seem pretty bad-ass! I might have to get into them, though that stupid pointy helmet thing definitely has to go.

[Partyffs]

Why cant i find necron history?

[ater367]

@Partyffs thier update makes thier fluff too new.

[musicman24X]

They need to talk about tau and ultramarines!

[Spartan17725]

do dark eldar history

[Redfingers]

@Spartan17725

There's actually an awesome Dark Eldar Background roundtable with the authors of the DE Codex on GW's official channel on Youtube, called "GamesWorkshopStudio." The title of the videos are "Dark Eldar Round Table - Background."

Highly recommended.

[kairon156]

wow. I like the Eldar story but I'm not a fan of how they look.

[TehMoMoman]

@kairon156 I agree. They look too much like they are from an Anime, same goes for the tau.

[Gundamortal]

what about rasen shuriken ?

[ip03219]

@Gundamortal are you seriously asking this?

[KaiserPotatoe95]

i started playing with my new eldar, i gotta say, ive played with tau and marines ( from a friend ) all are great fun, but i assure eldar give me most satisfaction, besides out of all armies, ive had the most fun painting the eldar

[Ninjadude2012]

lord of the rings.. IN SPACE!!!

[PaulB530]

Do Black templars

[Zero19941000]

The Elves of space.

[brady1998]

do tau

[StarSpawn06]

nice atmosphere of narration :)

now we still need Necron and Tau histories ( maybe with Hellraiser & communist music respectively ;)

And I agree with ronstar1981.

The history of the models and lists would be more useful. Those are what cannot be found on Lexicanum ...

[xj40002]

the eldar didn't actaully create the webway the old ones did and the old ones made the eldar to fight the necrons

[ShadowKnight275]

@xj40002 no quite..watch the necron video this guy did and it sais that the necrons forced the old ones to make eldar and orks to fight the catan(or however you spell it)

[ronstar1981]

This video was good,  but not what I expected. I was hoping for more of a history of the miniatures. As in when the game first came out we had these minis then games workshop added or discontinued these and what reasons they might of had for discontinuing a model. I guess I just have an interest in what models were discontinued as why. How ever that does not subtract to the excellent flavor that was provided for the races.

[TrueInnovator159]

This is really awesome. Only negative thing I have to say is that you need to pause between sentences, that is my only complaint. Other than that, yall did a GREAT job. :)

[jder06]

this is very nice , to finally have the full truth about the eldar. you know i have heard all kinds of opinions from other people, but to learn the warhammer 40k company truth is great. i'm a squats 40k guy, and ofcourse i've heard all kinds of what happened stories. but please could you investigate and give the real complete history. please i'm sure i'm not the only person who would really want to know the full historical story from beginning to end o the squats.

[3ch056]

That's the voice you hear when you read from Lexicum

[Oikscaba]

tyranids

[thevidsilove]

dark eldar history?

[LeaderoftheFates]

I'm waiting for Tau

[ThatGizmoGuy]

Are you going to make a space marien one because that is my army and I don't know there history

[MrPJstahl]

@ThatGizmoGuy They're gonna do it for every race

[ThatGizmoGuy]

@MrPJstahl awesome

[darthd95]

I LOVE ELDAR!!!

[redchickenproduction]

can you plz do thousand sons history that would be great!!! :D

[InnocentEvil109]

love this vid and love the.new intro good job guys

[redchickenproduction]

im just wondering if this is true... if all the eldar die isnt there a god (basically a death god) that will kill everything?

[777Lockhead]

Could u make a tau history vid pls :)

[splintersoup]

What music did you use for the video? Sounds familiar.

[scandalousrogue]

for those of us acking time to read every codex, to research every enemy our armies might face- these are great vids. Thanks guys for these vids!

[theeggman27]

you have to feel bad for the Eldar, i mean, there entire RACE is almost gone because of their ancestors. but, its kind of funny. their gods MUST have known that they where about to get monumentally screwed, but did nothing to save their race until it was too late.

[lictorbilly]

Grey Knights History!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shurikencatapult]

@lictorbilly as long as they don't just shove "space marines are amazing and kill everything with ease" bullcrap at us, I would want to see that...

[lictorbilly]

@shurikencatapult i agree im not much of a fan of space marines but grey knights just grabed my attention. the ironic thing is i play chaos lol.

[shurikencatapult]

@lictorbilly basically what I meant was the whole propaganda that each codex has. it's become synonomous with space marines, but grey knights are much worse... really? Lord Drago facing off with a chaos god (tzeentch-don't yell at me for spelling)and not losing? I doubt that...

[lictorbilly]

@shurikencatapult well the grey knights were made to stop and hold off the attacks of demons and creatures alike.

[shurikencatapult]

@lictorbilly I understand, and they are even said to be descended from the emperor through his direct genetics, which would explain how awesome they are. but the emperor even fell after beating horus, who was still just a primarch, so how would one less amazing than the emperor be able to face off against a god!?!? not to mention all four of them!(the other three were indirectly)

[lictorbilly]

@shurikencatapult ok yeah that makes alot more sense now. i can say i agree 100% now. man you are dedicated! thats awesome :D

[shurikencatapult]

@lictorbilly I just have to say, I'm interested in the HISTORY of the grey knights. not the amazing abilities. unbiased history. not trying to dissuade you from wanting to know more about the grey knights, who are extremely cool and all, but I just don't like how all of the characters get blown out of proportion. That's why I want to read the books. I also want to learn more about Coteaz, since he apparently has darker thoughts that he is considering in order to lengthen his life... >:3

[lictorbilly]

Grey Knights History!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[fuzzflip]

DO blood angel history!!!!!!

[Ludvik300]

do spacemarine history

[anonymousninja5]

Ahriman should just capture a harliquin to find the fabled Library then

[RubixBoy123]

@anonymousninja5 Ahriman would never ask for directions.... XD

[kouriichi]

Dem der' Eldar iz a bunch o' space panzies!

Dey don know nott'in bought DA WAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!!

[redgreen09]

[Eesoteric43]

Really Cool!

[TheBeans1994]

so i just realized the webway is basically the ways from robert jordans series The Wheel of Time

[xXJetwiiXx]

So if the Eldar are dying race, is that why they aren't getting a new codex?

[Guardsmen248]

@xXJetwiiXx ......I see what you did there....

[Corey91666]

@xXJetwiiXx im sure they get a new one end of 2011 or 2012... forge wolrd already published new models like the warp assault walker, shadow spectre or a new version of the viper with more weapons (looks like a mini falcon or sth :D)

so they definitely get a new one ;)

[Link12ize]

@xXJetwiiXx wait this year you may get a suprise. Besides despite the codexs being old it's still one of the best if used right :)

[Th3Lict0r]

They are screwed... Especially if another tyranic wave hits them

[theeggman27]

@Th3Lict0r yep. most Imperial inquisitors belive that most of the Tyranid race is still out there in the void, watching and learning from the previous hive fleets. but, its only a matter of time before EVERY race gets screwed. The Tyranids destroyed DOZENS of galaxy's before comming to invade the milky way.

[GlintTheStrong]

The eldar lack purpose. They should take something giving them "Slow and purposeful".

[madskillz808]

loving the history series! really looking forward to a necron episode, as i dont know too much about them :P, and a tau history, just because i have to big-up the home team!

[GlintTheStrong]

@madskillz808 What what! Representing the Tau!

[siege456productions]

Physical plesur o.0 ?

[PankeymanProductions]

Why do they refer to the Eldar as a 'nation' at 2:12? Shouldn't it be an Empire?

[thatguybubbles]

WTB NEW ELDAR CODEX

[Nightsbringer1]

PLEASE CAN YOU DO A NECRON HISTORY

[Pcoar]

Will there ever be a Necron one?

[Musikkingofthecookie]

DO SPACE WOLVES!

[MenOfWarMan]

can you do a space marine history

[GenAhab]

Space Elves: Why are they screwed? They screwed too much. Die from accident? More like bolt round to the face! Mentally superior? Don't see them making Spasss Mahreens. Takes multiple encounters to make a child? That's a fail. That's an evolutionary fail. Eye of Terror? That is another fail. That’s an "oops we made a chaos god" fail. Wraith bone? Maybe you should try something else, something that doesn't have the AV of tissue paper. Eldar=Fail.

[whitetyger00]

So basically..Eldar daddies get to continue having sex with their mates even while they are super pregnant?

I don't know how that makes me feel.

[j0hnst3r]

necron history!

[mantsa87]

do fb history

[DarkMassFabrikator]

Its amusing how sad his voice sounds when he speaks about Slanesh devoring Eldar souls.

[KOAHUNT3R]

To describe Eldar weaponry I shall quote Yatzhee from Zero Punctuation

"It shoots Shurikans and lightning, I wish I was making this up, but it seriously shoots shuikans and lightning. This gun could only be better if it had TITS and was on FIRE!"

[1313owner]

Wrong!!! The eldar didn't make the webway that was the old ones and you didn't even mention they and the krork were made by the old ones.

[GhostDivisionAirsoft]

@1313owner Im sure this imformation comes straight from the codex so i cant imagine it is too far off!

[1313owner]

@GhostDivisionAirsoft If you read a few other codex's like the Necron codex you will see the bitz they missed out.

[GhostDivisionAirsoft]

@1313owner Oh fair enough i suppose its just a brief overview of each one though! but thanks i shall have a browse!

[KINGXxGRIMREAPER]

i kinda got lost after 3 mins

[Asken96]

Finally Spac....WAINT?! Eldar! damn...but what the hek....it's work!

[space197]

does anyone else feel that the eldar fluff is similar to the downfall of the romans

[space197]

do the history of the squats!!!! =P

[kremath]

Do Necron history.

[commandervulkan]

Slaanesh finds this video... Delicious

[Phile700]

@commandervulkan haha awesome! laughed my head off :D

[Tarion666]

Is there any race that didn't fall apart from inside ;p ? except for pointless comic relief races like orks ?

[Karhax]

@Tarion666 the Tau

[Tarion666]

@Karhax true that! but they are a young race ;p

[XxxElPresidentexxX]

@Karhax

but it is starting to fall apart

O'Shova ??????

[calgar2168]

Eldar in a nutshell: my F*** socks are older then your entiere race

[theclash24]

[GKJusticar55]

[WheelchairAccessible]

THESE ARE FUCKING AWESOME

[FitzyzGun]

cool



[TheUndert0ker]

Space Elves.

[TheStargateNerd]

I approve that they have gotten this info from Lexicanum.

I know that because they are saying 95% of the things that are said there, with the same words.

[miniwargaming]

@TheStargateNerd Yup, it says it in the credits. ;)

[Bongo1020]

Thanks for the reupload.

[druidboy123456789]

[LordThoriner]

I enjoy the History Episodes but can we have less shouting at the start of the episodes? It hurts my ears and is kind of a put off.

[Skullchaser08]

WAT!?

No, the shouting is awesome!

[CorneliusFlakenton]

I' not deaf anymore! It's a miracle........
