New TTS special.

Welp, time to load up Soulstorm and set up a 4v4 team match, IG+SM+SoB+CSM vs Eldar+Tau+Orks+Dark Eldar.

EDIT: Dammit, trying to set up this match in Ultimate Apocalypse keeps crashing the game. It can't handle to awesome.

Okay wow, I really want to try something like that now.  Though, some of that is uh..  I'd rather do:
IG+SM+SoB+Eldar vs Chaos+Ork+Necron+DE
IE, Space Hulk style

Slaaneshmas is .... a trap.

chaos isnt about 'human' or 'formerly human' or 'species', it transcends that.  There is no racial analogue within the human species to describe chaos.  Its not 'savage barbarians from the north' or 'bloody tribesmen of africastrailia', its literally the embodiments of Rape, Destruction, Famine, and Lies.

You arent fighting humans turned sour, youre fighting eternal forces of the universe who have as minions humans turned sour.  Thats like having a 'redshirt day' where all the redshirts and heroes are somehow equal.


Its as they said, a deception to make the inevitable stab in the arse more emotional to gain more foods.  An force of order always loses more from a temporary ceasefire than one of disorder.

Chaos does have a special taste for humans, though. Humans are not only very numerous and easily corrupted, but they're also one of the most psychically active of the younger species of the galaxy, with some having potential to rival and even surpass the eldar. Plus, corrupting humans is one of the more direct ways to strike at the emperor, which is the biggest threat to chaos in the galaxy.

[Loud Whispers]

Currently the only species left that are tastier than humans for Chaos are the eldar or the old ones, who are both very hard to get a hold of. I'm sure if Chaos could farm eldar without Slaanesh eating all of them they'd try it

[LordBaal]

I sincerely hope GW don't end up blowing the Miliky Way and sending everyone to a blatant nordic mythology realm where the Emperor is awaiting for all his subjects and there's stupid planes and bubbles and what not, resulting in the Emperor being Sigmar too. With Ultramarines on top of it and every cool human or regular character being somehow secretively a perpetual.

I'm not so sure about that. The Eldar successfully fended off the predation of Chaos for a million years. It's exactly why Chaos was so interested in stopping the Emperor, because if humanity were to evolve to become a stable psychic race like the Eldar they could fight back effectively. It's a bit harder to corrupt someone when they can turn their inner eye to rest upon the soul's cradle and check for daemons. Not to mention daemons are probably somewhat more reluctant to fight people who can put them down for good by killing them in the Warp.

SIGMARINES
WE ARE THE EMPEROR'S FURY
AND ALSO THE OTHER EMPEROR'S FURY

Sure it's risky, but the Eldar have more psychic stuff per soul. Could be because they've lived longer and accrued more psychic stuff though?

[Grim Portent]

The Eldar didn't exactly fend off the predations of Chaos for a million years, more they fended off the predation of what are considered to be bottom feeders by the standards of the Empyrean. Until humanity came along there were no daemons, the worst thing around was Enslavers, which are roughly on par with Heralds of the gods but waaaay less organised and entirely reliant on being able to find suitable victims, they can't run on their own power.

The gods are a far more directed force compared to the myriad minor warp predators the Eldar Empire had to contend with until the last 100,000 years or so of it's existence.

Trazyn is a perpetual. Just you wait.

[Rolepgeek]

Well, also, Eldar had their own gods.

Current gods are Humanity's gods. They were almost all created by humanity, after all, and it would be rather odd to believe that in the millions of years of the Eldar's existence, there were no wars or massacres large enough to trigger Khorne existing, while the Mongols managed to set him off, unless the psychic energy of the Eldar was feeding something else, which happened to be on less genocidal/parasitic terms with their followers.

Actually, kinda wonder if the Chaos Gods would 'evolve' to be less horrific if they had control/just sorta were, rather than the galaxy constantly being at war and feeding negative energy. Kinda like how parasites that only spread through heritability quickly become symbiotes due to their reliance on the success of the host.

[TempAcc]

Well, the warp is just the empyrean, IE the realm of souls, just fucked up and turned into a huge bug chaser psycho rapist occultist dweeb because the galaxy has been in a huge no holds barred clusterwarfuck for the last couple eons.

If the galaxy somehow became a butterfly filled garden filled with orks in dapper suits exchanging pleasantries with humans and their eldar boyfriends, while their tau butlers served them mead and all the other aliens danced around them, I'm sure the chaos gods and the warp would be far easier to swallow, even if slightly less phallic. The problem is that shit got so terrible that the warp became an engine perpetuating what caused it to become the warp in the first place, into a perpetual engine of pure fuckery that produces as much fuel as it consumes.

That's something I like about Slaanesh, that it's specifically of both races.  Khorne and Khaine are very distinct (though...  I never realized how similar their names are.  Still, they're very clearly separate entities)

They don't even have a Tzeentch equivalent.  Which is ironic.  I'd say they only made gods of notable things, instead of a god of "being Eldar", but it's not like that stopped the God Emperor.

While Nurgle and the goddess of healing have certain things in common.

I know very little about Ynnead (Eldar death) and Malal (Human destruction).  The latter being completely ignored, the earlier being obscure I think.

Whereas the Laughing God is almost literally Coyote, heheh.  Tricksters survive.
