The Eldar are often used as the Imperium's punching bag... but not the Solitaire - these god tier warriors can cut through anything... maybe even a Primarch

    There's nothing as sweet as unnamed Eldar ripping Space Marines limb from limb like it's nothing Eldar for lyf Pick up a Space Elf Jester, or the new Xenonid Raptors here : www.majorminis.com.au/

    in defense of the solitaire Trazyn owns, Trazyn also owns a Krork a primarch and several custodes.
  • Majorkill. Single handedly pushing the Eldar from meme punching bag to badass faction.
  • @fatcoyote2
    The Eldar rarely get written well. I remember in one of the Dawn of War novelizations, the Eldar kamikaze one of their ships into the final battle, spilling thousands of Spirit Stones and killing their entire crew in order to...lose harder.
  • Majorkill is the kind of guy that could convert Slaanesh into the Imperial cult by explaining 40k lore to it while naked
  • When a Solitaire can do that much damage, you know the Harlequins are not clowning around with making them.
  • Harrlequins most powerful ability is their ability to make a primarch die from making selfdeprecating jokes
  • Actually, Eversor assassin going blow for blow with Solitaire in that story kind of makes sense. There is no way he was sent to duel Solitaire, and there is no way governor just had an imperial assassin in his bodyguard, definitely not Eversor assassin. Eversor was probably on the same mission and Solitaire found it humorous and fought through dozens of bodyguards and retinue members as that's exactly how Eversor would have gone about his mission, letting him complete it by exploding in death. I don't think Solitaire was fighting to kill, he wanted to guide him into the same room as governor.

    I have a theory, that Majorkill is another secret chaos god and Australia is just an extension of the warp.
  • Getting a video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to being in Guillimans current situation would be pretty cool first , getting to see Magnus' imperium or dorns beautiful fortress galaxy would be epic
  • @LMR041082
    Nice one. It’s pronounced as troops, as in a troupe of actors. Love the work. It’s a constant lift to the day and I always give them a thumbs up.
  • @KamiRecca
    My experience with Harlequinsand Solitaire: Cool units that easily gets mowed down by a half-sized imperial guards unit.
  • I really hate how underplayed the harlequins are, they are maybe the single best fighting force in the galaxy and nobody really ever uses them or talks about them much. Especially hurts because it was this same space clowns that actually got me interested in Warhammer to start with.
  • @Omegakingd
    take note of the fact that the imperium can have 30 videos talking about its different aspects and lore, whereas the other xenos races can be distilled into 3 for each race. Hoping and wishing we get some new eldar, tau, ork, tyranid and necron books. with there own love and attention.
  • If the Tyranids want to be more successful in 40k...then more Tyranids should start writing books! LOGIC!
  • They have the power to look at their doom and laugh. That frees the Eldar to die fantastic thing that they would otherwise struggle to do. They are in trance in a dance of doom and death at the hands of Slaanesh.
  • Since helmetless characters tend to be powerhouses, I just imagine Solitaire running around naked destroying everything.
  • @brickwall9781
    I'm surprised 1 or more of them hasn't taken on Lucius. Epic fight, and if one of them manages to take down Lucius, bows & applauses followed by snuffing themselves (and hopefully Lucius too) out with a bandolier of psyk-out grenades.
  • @birduno
    solitaires are probably my favorite lore cheat code in any medium. the reasoning for why they're so insane makes sense, and the actual implantation is absurd.
