Because Farseers can predict the future with frightening accuracy. This is why attacks from Eldar seem random to the Imperium, because they don't know their cause, while the Farseer has foreseen that one Commander might rise to lead an assault against a Maiden World some decades into the future, and so they kill him to remove that threat. This strategy of knowing what is coming, is what has kept many a Craftworld from being wiped out by some great threat.
Well, eventually they turn into Crystal and become part of the Infinity Circuit where they have the spend the remainder of eternity being fully conscious. Normally Eldar who join the Infinity Circuit upon death is usually spared full consciousness.
Well color me impressed! You've definitely given me something to consider when it comes to race selection. Most of the stuff out there seems to be mostly space marine.
Yeah, the Space Marines are certainly the most flushed-out Faction in the game, that's for certain. You should try and look up stuff on Eldar on Lexicanum. I still recommend the books, although they're a bitch to get a hold of in proper book form nowadays.
After doing a bit of research, I never realized that the Imperium psykers had an impressive array of powers. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Imperial_Psychic_Powers#.Umjvwvl6axB I think the Eldar also have impressive powers too: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eldar_Psychic_Powers#Warlocks Ultimately I want to be a Space Marine and thus be human. I'm not too fancy for elves but if I could not be a caster, that would be game breaking. So therefore...
I see a sanctioned Psyker or even a Librarian in you my friend. Do not be persuaded by the pointy eared devils. For they are wolves in sheep clothes. In the mean time welcome to the forums.
Whatever choice you make potential Brother, we will meet on the Battlefield. If it is for the same cause or not, only time will tell. But pray you dont get on my bad side. (Welcome!)
Indeed. It would be awkward being a xenos while championing the Emperor! Oh is that right? I bet you're all warm and fuzzy on that side Thank you both for the welcomes!
