You don't fight it though, you think you fight it. What's more accurate to say is that you fear it. You fear the consequences of looking in the mirror and seeing what lies on the other side, for a race as 'enlightened' as yours it's anathema to think you'll ever cease to be and that you're subject to the same rules as everyone else. Your species is still dying and already Craftworlds like Biel-Tan are trying to build a new empire as glorious as the last one. Not out of some great lesson learned, not out of benevolence for a universe you couldn't care less about, but because it is the nature of all life. We grow, we prosper, we provide for those we love, and when the resources are available we provide in abundance, we provide in excess because we believe we have earned it. What happens if you defeat Slaanesh? Will the Eldar be content with what they have and live in peace and quiet away from the universe? No, no, no, you will be just as tainted by Slaanesh whether she exists or not. She lives in all of our hearts and compels you to seek more, to build more, to create more, and when your seers shriek of some great calamity you will not heed them anymore after then you did before. That is the nature of life: We strive, we succeed, and we selfishly bathe in the rewards we feel we earned whether we did or not. You reave the stars for plunder and power, your youth work with other species only to turn your blades on them when the time is right just to see how it feels, you burn entire worlds because you believe yourselves above everyone and everything, then you justify that your own interests are above the petty lives of other mortals. I do not hate you, I pity you, you are as much in thrall as me but you cannot see. My heart goes out to you, i'd tell you your deaths would be quick...but it would be a lie.
Where's the "Yes - It's perfect. They sound like posh douches" option? Much as I love the Eldar, they are posh douches, they have to be. Orks are football hooligans, Marines are mindless religious zelots and Chaos are degenerate scumbags. Posh douche is the only role left to play...
0:25 The Admirork is giving his monologue to the camera. 0:35 Some dumbass Mek tampers a bit too hard with either the engines or the magazine, detonating the ship. Hence the "Dat's an order!" The chain reaction takes out the rest of the fleet.
Shall the SPEESS MAHEENSS retain its current aim and coordination level, this thread will be the only place they can slaughter anything
The voice is perfect and the ships look amazing. But ... maybe I'm the only one but I'm pretty sick of the XTREME ARROGANCE TO THE MAX being the only default for anything Eldar. This wasn't really bad for that but I don't want it to get any more so, y'know? I know they can be arrogant, but it's nowhere stated that they are also so stupid that they are ALL ARROGANCE, ALL THE TIME to everyone be they friend or foe So ... this was perfect ... and the voice was amazingly well suited ... but ... that's just enough arrogance, we don't want any more or it'll be over the top in bad ways Respectfully disagreeing with the Laughing God. I am prepared for multicoloured consequences! That voice though.
They sound like the smug poncy pricks the Eldar are Now I just wanna hear the voice clips of them shitting their pants as their ships crash and burn
Most of the voice was kind of meh to me, except for that one quote right at the end of the video. That was a good Eldar taunt imo. I hear you. I think a level of arrogance is common in Eldar personality, but as usual a lot of people just end up amping it to an extreme instead of having it subtly affect their speech. Eldar shouldn't just be a bunch of disagreeable sods, though there should remain enough disagreeable sods that it might remain to be the 'stereotypical' Eldar to other races.
Now now, remember that the Eldar are based off of WHFB high elves, whose hat is extreme arrogance just as the dwarves hat is holding grudges. Heck, the hatred between elves and dwarves was due to eleven arrogance, when the first war started because of some Dark Elf raiders attacked the dwarves and stole their stuff, and when the dwarves sent a diplomat to Ulthuan demanding an explanation, not only did the elven King refuse to explain anything but he also insulted the dwarves by cutting off the diplomats beard. To this day, the dwarves still possess the Phoenix Crown, and the people of Caledor still call themselves the descendants of the late King Caledor II
