I draw stuff.

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia Yeah, outright favoritism is as much a problem as outright hatred of a faction when it comes to writing stories involving them.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia It is a pity that there doesn't seem to be any authors writing 40k novels that genuinely likes the Eldar.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia Yeah, in general it would be better if the authors writing stories for 40k would put more thought into how they are portraying the Eldar, but as I said before, it is genuinely challenging to write characters that are supposed to be smarter than the author is.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia Imperium's great strenght is that human lives have basically zero value to the imperial leadership, as manpower is one of the things the Imperium has ample abundance off. Some hive worlds send people to serve in the guard for example as means of managing overpopulation.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia True enough. I am not trying to claim that eldar should be written as infallable, my criticism is generally just that GW tends to write the Eldar as just fools whose plans always fail as a rule, which in my view does them and the setting as a whole disservice.

@BlueBulletda @ArchonSam @wraithbon3r The halfborn aka the vatborn Dark Eldar make up the majority of the population in Commoragh. Trueborn are a priviledged minority by the virtue of being the offspring of powerful Dark Eldar, like those high up in kabals etc and are akin to status symbols to their parents.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia Eldar arrogance definitely plays a part in how they behave and what they do. Their emotions also run far more intense than that of humans which is why they can fall prey to obsessive behaviors. The path system of the craftworlders partially exists to manage these intense emotions

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@Goldietheswag3 @Whissia Eldar acting foolish despite their lore stating that they are far more intelligent than humans is a bit of a result of GW's writers being as a rule, midwits, and it is generally very difficult for even smart people to write characters who are more intelligent than themselves.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@knightcore77 @Lorgarwasright2 Powerful Dark Eldar sometimes have children the natural way, which are referred to Trueborn. These trueborn are basically trophies/status symbols for their parents as much as they are their progeny. They tend to be extremely arrogant and look down on the halfborn Dark Eldar.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@locomotivevoice @knightcore77 @Lorgarwasright2 Halfborn are not clones. They are just speedgrown dark eldar. It is not outright stated in any codex where the actual embryos for them come from. The Haemonculi basically just plant these embryos in vats and accelerate their growth so they mature faster.

@LindonVoxCaster I didn't mean to come to the rescue of anyone, just wanted to give context to the thread where the meme was made.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

@LindonVoxCaster You understand that the image was made as a joke, aimed at people shitting on the exodites, right? I am well aware that most people on /tg/ responded very positively to the reveal.

The Sentenshi class of warskins have been engineered to serve as aerial predators and marksmen. Their living fiber wings allow them to fly trough the air and hover in place as they hunt their quarry. The ranged weapons they wield are put to deadly use with superhuman accuracy.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

The Kanshin are a warskin breed designed for battlefield domination and heavy assaults. Strong, adaptable and heavily armored, the Kanshin is able to support both heavy ranged and close combat weapons alike. Only veteran knights have the privilige of mantling these warsuits.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

Vashiro class warskins are designed for reslience and close combat. They are heavily armored and their elongated limbs possess the strenght to crush lesser foes with mere casual blows.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

The Lords of the various families which constitute House Baryx march to war mantling renowned, and customized heirloom warskins, that have passed down in their lineages for generations. These suits posses abilities more common forms of their breeds lack and are often nigh unique.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

The Saikashu is a rare and treasured warskin breed for House Baryx. It is specialized into manipulating the sheets of living fiber fabrics it's body produces for both combat, locomotion and protection. It can also use advanced biomancy to manipulate flakes of it's own tissue.

[Screeble @Screeble_art]

The Hayashi is a warskin breed specialized into speed. It's powerful legs allow it to run faster than any other warskin breed. This mobility is usually put into use as fast moving ranged fire support, rapidly repositioning between volleys of fire as they harry their prey.
