Enough people had trouble accessing it including myself so here it is again, hopefully for real this time. Anyways, as I said last time, Why don't you Iyanden some bitches?
-
Being dead is no excuse to stop being superior. Sending in the Wraithguard armed with D-cannons will do that.
-
I like how the standard for a goody two shoes is "they sometimes engage in diplomacy and also said thank you exactly once"
-
I just imagine a chaos space marine questioning how the dark eldar are the super villains of 40 when one of them rides in on a barge screaming "PRESENTATION!"
-
Pancreas No Work is the closest thing to a father I've ever had
-
Most of the Eldars are dead? Best Craftworld ever.
-
Iyanden saw the Tau, noticed the Gundam, said "Hold our beer", and turned like 90% of their army into bone EVAs.
-
Iyanden basically being mostly undead is fitting for spooktober
-
You know, I like these guys. They're like the Eldar equivalent of the Lamenters, constantly their shit kicked in but still here and still fighting
-
So there is ONE moment I know of where the Hive Mind screamed in pain. When I believe Behemoth was invading Baal in devastation of baal, the Hive mind was dealt a MASSIVE blow when the eye of terror ripped open from the fall of cadia. The book even says that for a moment, the hivemind experienced death before it wrangled its tyranids back into control. So technically abaddon hurt the tyranids as well.
-
Regarding the Invader destroying Idharae, let's just focus on the fact : -that saving this Craftworld is the reason Eldrad Ulthran started the 2nd War for Armageddon (and the 3rd and all subsequent conflict in which Ghazghkull messed the Imperium). -that Craftworld Alaitoc destroyed the Invader's Homeworld in revenge later on. They did their service to us Space Elves, even after death.

Iyanden is the only Craftworld smart enough to make open and official ties with the Imperium. Up to and including Eldar families housing Imperial ambassadors and if I remember correctly an Inquisitorial enclave near their Infinity Circuit that the Eldar may or may not actually be aware of. Grease Monkey from the Last Chancers was put in the Last Chancers for taking an Iyanden ambassador's grav vehicle on a joyride. Which also implies that the relationship is pretty public.
-
As a craftworld player I am so happy to have one YouTuber who can actually be positive about the Eldar for once instead of pushing them aside to talk about more imperium stuff.
-
Gulliman: So lion it has been a while.. un is that an eldar next to you? Lion: Yes, he is cool.
-
More space elves is always a good thing. Also if any Eldar faction could successfully pull off "love can Bloom", its Iyanden, not Bel-Tan. btw while everyone is screeching over Becca vs Lucy, Kiwi best girl.
-
This is the most Iyanden lore I've seen in one video, they were already the coolest Craftworld because of their necessary reliance on Wraith units, then I found out they got cooler. And also Prince Yriel is the Eldar equivalent of the Dread Pirate Roberts. No amount of words you say to me will convince me otherwise, I won't let you.
-
the craftworld somehow survives lamenters grade shitstorms thrown their way (given maimed to shit but thats still the better outcome) and manage to bounce back from it somewhat. Plus they curb their arrogance enough to get some alliances going? now thats just chad energy right there.
-
10:32 The Ultramarines managed to kill a Norm Queen, which is basically a top tier Tyranid leader. It was felt across the entire Hive Mind. Unfortunately whenever the Hive Mind detects a Norm Queen being killed an automatic response is triggered, causing every other Tyranid Hive Fleet to crate two more Norm Queens
-
Ork fangirl speaking, thanks for giving us a better appreciation of the spindly older siblings. And for something *different*. Really a big fan of the wraith units. Ghosts piloting bone robots that were sung into reality? That's metal.
-
Please make this kind of content for all the Craftworlds please! I love Elves too and it sucks how everyone is "haha, knife ear cringe" that they never get touched on in lore videos except to show the same Greek hubris tale for the quintillionth time.
