When Ynnead awakens, he is going for a walk. A very enthusiastic walk.

Imagine if Isha is broken free from Nurgle's prison and do the Pillar Men Awakening Pose with Cegorach and Ynnead together.

I like the idea that the demon lied about the crone swords whereabouts and it actually being in the possession of Lucius the eternal. It would make sense as the safest place to keep something would be with the immortal guy who just respawns with all his gear when he dies. Plus it would mean they could develop Lucius more which would be nice.

Can we talk about how Yriel woke up his Spear, turned it unto a sword in a pragmatic event that shifted the whole narrative IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST NEW ELDAR MODELS IN 10 YEARS and we didn't get a new yriel with a sword instead of a spear

Ynnead about to beat Slaanesh: We Sleep. Teclis, Tyrion and Malerion captured Slaanesh and imprisoned the Dark Prince with a seal: I CALL RIDICULOUS!

Slaanesh didn’t even need to be defeated. The awakening of Ynnead could’ve been potentially not be a perfect win. Could’ve been interesting if Ynnead could only save the current eldar if they died and only if slaanesh is defeated then all eldar could be saved. This could allow not a crazy shake up but a way for new ideas to be safe in the canon. Also imagine a ynarri specific unit of eldar kamikaze soldiers that when they die buff the yncarne.

Strong argument for why the Ynnead awakening would be good. Return of silent king, hive mind is apparently going for the heart of the galaxy, the warp is invading the real space, eldar really need that new God

Slaanesh: "Are you challenging me?" Awakened Ynnead: "Yes."

Getting a video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to and ruled their own imperium as Guilliman did would be pretty interesting ngl

If this does happen, it would give a good foundation for Jaghatai Khan to return as he's in the webway

I wonder if GW is looking to give 40K the AoS treatment and give every faction their own deity. They started acknowledging The Emperor as a divine entity, introduced Tau'va, and set up the Eldar for a new deity all around the same time. Although, it's also likely GW will be too afraid to pull the trigger on that since it would mean giving xenos the spotlight for a minute

Your video on how to unfuck the Eldar lore was really good and sounded epic. I'm a space marine player, but have always liked the Eldar models and their lore. They've been needing some love for a decade now. I hope GW starts showing them some respect real fucking soon.

Ynnead wakes: “I am become Death, destroyer of worlds.” Khorne: “I like this one, I’ma help him out.” Nurgle: “He can have what fails my pretty plagues.” Tzeentch: “Hey, Slaanesh, ready for this change? 😂” Slaanesh: “…I hate you guys.”

A video about each time the chaos gods spoke/interacted with someone directly would be pretty cool I think

If Ynnead is hyper focused on fighting Slaneesh specifically, I can see other Chaos Gods helping them out in order to weaken Slaneesh, a rival of theirs.

More Eldar stuff would be great

One way GW could continue the Ynnari/Ynnead lore is have the Ynnari attempt the ritual without all the crone swords, which does awaken Ynnead, but in kind of a premature birth sort of way. Ynnead is still strong, but needs some time to grow and develop its strength by absorbing dying Eldar instead of Slaneesh. This allows the plot to advance and Ynnead to live up to the anti-Slaneesh idea while not totally flipping the setting on its head

I think It would be cool if Ynnead didn't kill or weaken slaanessh, but freed the eldar pantheon and making every soul of eldar a battle with Slaannesh. Giving more hope to the Eldar. I still want them to thematically be similar, but change perspective slightly. The Dark Eldar still need to be slavers and brutal, but more selective about it influencing the newly released Eldar deities to being twisted versions of themselves. While the Craftworlders seek to colonize planets where the Maiden worlds and their ideology and sense of who they are is making the Eldar Deities more like their previous selves so the deities are slightly schizophrenic

I'm Ngl the stellaris music you always have playing in the background lowkey fits warhammer really well when lore dumping.
