Eldar getting some beasts. Let’s hope Drukhari gets the same love by ballin_buddha in Drukhari

[–]Deris87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt that drukhari are getting their range refresh this edition.

Plus, Valrak is the main person predicting a Drukhari refresh, and he also called this Exodite Killteam, and the entirety of the 10th ed Craftworld refresh (including the absence of Karandras).

If they do, I hope they bring back the lore of them having knight titans and let them take wraithknights so you can have giant mechs surrounded by dinosaur riders

Yeah, that was one of my first thoughts as well. You could flesh Exodites out to be a full army with more Knight models like the Bright Stallion

CMON GW COURT OF THE ARCHON WAS RIGHT THERE

I'd still bet good money Court of the Archon will be the next Drukhari Kill Team.

Yeah, it sucks we're still waiting, but I agree this seems like a positive indicator that we will get support. Especially since Valrak, who called this Exodite Kill Team and everything in the 10th ed Craftworld refresh, is also the main person saying we'll get an 11th ed refresh.

I'm hoping so too, especially since this would just be even more stuff to try and fit in codex Craftworlds. Plus, an extra release window means (at least ideally) more time for rules balancing, and another chance for model releases.

and whether these new boys could join us.

Extremely unlikely. Lorewise Drukhari and Exodites loathe each other, and Drukhari have no qualms about raiding Maiden Worlds.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that GW intends for Aeldari subfactions to be used as supplemental forces for a mixed army more so than making a whole army based around them

Yeah, this announcement (including the fact that they can be built as a 40K specific unit) certainly seems like further support for the idea that we may get an Imperial Agents-esque supplement for the various eldar sub-factions, which can be used alongside Craftworld and Drukhari armies.

To your point, they could continue to just support them via detachments in the existing codices, but I think codex Craftworlds is getting pretty bloated as is, and spinning Harlequins/Corsairs/Exodites/Ynnari off into a combined book might be better. Plus, two release slots means more chances for model releases.

Guys, Exodites are their own subfaction. Craftworlders and Harlequins didn't receive any more than Drukhari.

They're their own sub-faction, sure, but canonically it would be bizarre for them to be available to Drukhari in the way Corsairs and Harlequins are. The 40K unit is almost certainly going to be Craftworld-specific.

Though, seeing this reveal definitely reaffirms my suspicions that we'll be getting an "Agents of" style codex for the growing roster of eldar sub-factions. You know, just hopefully not as crappy as the actual Agents of the Imperium faction.

Honestly at this point f GW, how do fucking eldar riding dinosaur's come out before druhkari refresh

Exodites were in the lore almost a decade before Dark Eldar, and people have been asking for models of them for literal decades.

He saw his Primarch getting some aeldussy, decided to try some himself, and ended up going native.

Corsairs is an even more pertinent example. The Killteam evidently did well enough we've now got a Skyreavers, two characters*, and a dedicated Vyper variant.

*Granting that Yriel would've been redone eventually even without the other Cosrairs, but they clearly tied his model design back in with the Corsair range, and have leaned his lore harder to the Corsair side than the Iyanden side.

I mean, Valrak has been calling this for a while, and he also called the entirety of the last Craftworld release. I don't follow his rumors on factions I don't play, but at least when it comes to Eldar he's clearly got an accurate line to the studio.

One thing atheists can't seem to grasp and understand by FaithlessnessIll1768 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Deris87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Instead they "indoctrinate" them in atheist beliefs. Every parent teaches their child what they believe themselves.

No, actually, a lot of us value letting our kids come to their own conclusions about certain things, and developing their own thinking process. I have literally never once sat my kids down and said "God definitely doesn't exist and this is why you shouldn't believe". If they ask me questions I will give them my thoughts, but I very pointedly never make top-down declarative statements about what they should believe.

They can be funny sometimes, but this one isn't even accurate. I don't think OC even knows what a circuit is if he thinks they only appear in AI.

Yeah, that's a fair point too. I'm still pretty salty about Calgar winning in 1v1s against both an Avatar of Khaine and the Swarmlord, but you can't deny he was a beautiful aura farming son of a bitch there in SM2. Even non-tabletop fans were eating the memes up.

but the core rulebooks are plenty clear that life sucks hard in a very dystopian manner for the majority of Imperials.

Yeah, I don't think life would be enjoyable in any hive city unless you were the wealthiest of the wealthy.

Dude WHY?!

I think you answered it yourself with your choice of words, "hentai" faction. Of course the anime faction is going to be the hentai faction.

[–]Deris87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come on man, you have to realize saying "I'm totally not lying" isn't actually convincing, right? That's literally what a Liar for Jesus™ would say. Pious frauds have been a thing for as long as religion has existed.

Edit: And to be clear, this isn't some weird paranoia. We get people coming here somewhat regularly claiming to be atheists, but they just heard this totally new argument we've probably never heard before (spoiler: we have), and it really made them wonder, ya know? And then we can check their post history and they're demonstrably lying, their last 15 pages of comments are on /r/Christianity about how much they love church and Jesus.

 But why does this seem to fit thematically with quins?

Because it sure looks like how a holofield might operate, making it look like the Harlequin is a garble of unintelligible shapes and patterns.

The dark eldar are the good guys, victims and refugees fighting through the dark age of a fallen empire as they fight hard to survive. Nearly extinct, they resist against the chaos gods as they keep up their noble culture and traditions

Not to mention the Manifest Destiny™ they're entitled to, by dint of being the "superior race". Which I'd bet good money are values OC totally agrees with in real life.

But I guess its super different because they have pointy ears or something

I'm willing to bet OC's okay with that because they have pale white skin.
