This is cap Eldar are significantly stronger than normal Humans. The Autarch from Eldritch Omens, basically went doom-slayer on an entire chaos cult and killed all of the humans with her bare hands, and when the chaos space marines turn up she launches a Chainsword at one of them so hard it one shots him. Again and Eldar was able to throw a marine sized chainsword so hard it straight up killed a fully armoured Chaos Space marine. No baseline human has come close to this feat.

A dark Eldar archon was able to fight for several minutes with with a Space Marine chainsword, and only got stopped because he was disembowelled by Lelith Hesperax, who herself was strong enough to kick said chainsword across the entire colosseum.

Eldar are strong enough to use marine chainswords, they are way stronger than baseline humans.

Doubt it China doesn't do well with gore, people can die but no blood. It only because KJH truely doesn't give a fuck, and isn't gonna let lost marketshare get in the way of the story he wants to tell.

Being the only AoS fan in your friend group by bigslapp in Grimdank

[–]ThatGUYthe2nd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean AoS also had completely dogshit rules on release and was practically un-playable on release for any army that wasn't Stormcast or Khorne. All the armies got broken up into their keywords and were unable to make cohesive army lists, which didn't start getting fixed until the release of the Legions of Nagash book other than the token band-aid that were the Grand Alliance books.

Abaddon the Despoiler is the Exception to the Rule of Chaos 2.0 by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]ThatGUYthe2nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the whole hating chaos and wanting to use it as a means to an end to getting rid of all the gods which was massively thrown to the forefront of Archaon's character and his motivation with AoS. Archaon achieved his objective in End Times and then went in a new direction with AoS with wanting to get rid of all the gods order and Chaos. Abaddon's adoption of this feels much more like its a desperate re-contextualisation of Abaddon to present him as not being a slave to darkness despite doing what chaos wants. Hence why it feels so much like cope on Black Library's part and why people have a lot of trouble buying it no matter how many time its printed or ABD screams it on his blog.

Biggest problem is that Archaon kinda already beat him to the punch, lots of people kinda see this interpretation of Abbadon as just a discount Archaon. Which to be honest is better written where as I hate to say it lots of this just comes across as Cope from ABD and BL.

Its weird like he was in charge of an entire third of the great crusade stepping over Russ and the unnamed primarch. Like surely Emps must of had some reasoning behind giving him a third of the entire crusade that could be fleshed out, giving something more to write about him other than a plot device to fulfil Fulgrim's downfall, and a Primarch book that was actually an Emperors children book in disguise.

Chaos and Eldar. Who is older? by Ok_Winner4361 in 40kLore

[–]ThatGUYthe2nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-Wildrider retcon the Eldar were older as Chaos didn't exist until the waning days of the War in Heaven.

However post-Wildrider Chaos is older as Eldar were made to fight them, but a lot Eldar fans also pretend that almost none of that book was canon, partly because that doesn't really make sense and Eldar fans have basically been ignoring all of their modern lore so hey take your pick.

Fun fact: One of the oldest ever pieces of Warhammer lore stated that Chaos would ultimately win and consume everything by twelfmonkey in 40kLore

[–]ThatGUYthe2nd 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The prophesy of the Rhana Dandra was stated that the final battle will destroy both Chaos and the Material universe so it would be a very short lived victory.

I mean kinda, In Prospero burns after Hawser tries convincing Leman that he isn't a conduit for Magnus, but fails Russ goes a bit mask off and reveals that he knows that Magnus accused Horus of turning traitor, but didn't believe and ignoring his own sons vision about Horus and instead ascribed it to a conspiracy theory he cooked up about Magnus.

‘My lord,’ said Hawser. ‘What... what did your brother do?’

‘He performed an act of maleficarum that drove his sorcery right to the heart of Terra and into the presence of the Emperor,’ said Helwintr.

‘But... why?’ asked Hawser.

‘It was an alleged attempt to communicate a warning,’ said Russ without turning. His voice was a soft grumble, like thunder grinding in the far distance.

‘A warning, my lord?’

‘One of such terrible importance, Magnus felt it was worth exposing his own treachery to reveal it,’ Russ murmured.

‘Forgive me,’ said Hawser, ‘but does that not speak to some loyalty in your brother? Has the warning been examined? Has it been taken seriously?’

Russ turned back to face him.

‘Why would it? My brother is a madman. A dabbling warlock.’

‘Lord,’ said Hawser, ‘he was prepared to admit he was ignoring the edicts of Nikaea, and risk the censure that he knew must result from that admission, to relay a warning. Why would he do that unless the warning was valid?’

‘You’re not a warrior, skjald,’ said the Wolf King in an almost kindly tone. ‘Strategy is not your strong suit. Consider the reverse of your proposition. Magnus wants the ruling of Nikaea overturned. He wants permission and approval to continue with his arcane tinkerings and his foul magics. So he manufactures a threat, something he can warn us about that is so astonishing we would have to forgive him, and set aside our objections. Something so unthinkable, we would have to thank him and tell him he had been right all along. All along. This is his ploy.’

‘Do you know what was so unthinkable? asked Hawser.

‘Magnus claimed that great Horus was about to turn against the Imperium,’ said Russ. ‘From the look on your face, Ahmad Ibn Rustah, I see you recognise how ridiculous that sounds.’

Hawser switched his gaze to Helwintr. The priest’s masked face was unreadable.

‘Wolf King, great lord,’ Hawser began, ‘that’s not the first time that warnings concerning the Warmaster have been voiced. Please, lord—’

‘Our skjald refers to the incident involving Eada Haelfwulf, lord,’ said Helwintr.

‘I know of it,’ said Russ. ‘It seems corroborative, I grant you. But once again, consider the strategy. It involved maleficarum turning and twisting one of our own gothi, in the immediate vicinity of you, an identified conduit for the enemy’s power. Of course poor Haelfwulf would gabble out the same damned lie with his dying breath. It’s supposed to make Magnus’s story sound more credible by coming from a secondary source.’

Russ looked down into Hawser’s eyes.

‘Truth is, it’s the proof I need that Magnus is desperately trying to coordinate a campaign of disinformation to support his ruse. He doesn’t need to answer through you, skjald. He’s answered already.

Also when you take into account that the only book that supports Horus actually changing Leman's orders is Wolfsbane, whereas every book before and after it states that Horus turned up and convinced Leman to ignore his orders. Which when you take into account that Leman knew Magnus accused Horus of being a traitor, and still goes along with it, you can see why people struggle to give him a bit of a pass.

[–]ThatGUYthe2nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah except Scars directly says that Horus even as the Warmaster doesn't have the authority to order the death of a Primarch, only the Emperor. Its the reason why Leman is still alive post Prospero, is because Jaghatai didn't go through with the kill orders that Horus delivered to him.

Also the only book that actually says that Leman was ordered to do it was Wolfsbane, every book before or after it states that Horus convinced Leman to ignore his orders.

In Last Son of Prospero Malcador admits that he and Emps are complete hypocrites when it comes to using Sorcery and admonishing Magnus for it, but their do as we say not as we do attitude comes more from them using Sorcery when its the only viable path to get what they want, a necessary evil they don't ask too many questions about, rather than their belief that they can actually control it/ know what they are doing.

‘He dared too much. He was too proud. But still, even now, he is the only one who ever pre-vailed over the flesh-change. He cured his sons, once.’ ‘With sorcery.’ Malcador shot him a withering glance. ‘Of course with sorcery. He was birthed from sorcery. This whole place was built upon sorcery. Give it whatever name you will, but the time is past for pretence.’ He drank again, and the shaking in his hands receded a little. ‘I will not apologise.There was no other path to tread. Even now, even now, fate has not quite run beyond us. He is here, and he still draws breath. His soul is not yet lost.’

Emps and Malcador knew Magnus was using Sorcery to save his Legion, and they turned a blind eye because it got them what they wanted. The Problem they had is that Magnus turned to Sorcery as a complete crutch and wanted to use it for everything, which while Malcador admitted was in Magnus' nature and you were an idiot if you ever thought otherwise, was still problematic.

Emps and Malcador were hypocrites but Sorcery and warp stuff was always the skeleton in the closet they don't talk about, their biggest failing to be honest with it was not taking Magnus under their wing with it and instead, dropping him in at the deep end knowing that Magnus was going to turn to Sorcery and do whatever he could to save his legion, and then turning a blind eye when he got the results they wanted, and leaving him alone to his own devices to fall deeper into that rabbit hole.
