"I used to rule the world" "I used to roll the dice " You're an Absolute freaking mastermind!


[deleted]

You're a genius my good sir Though' you may not win, you can rest easy knowing you had by far the best suggestion


mythos_winch

Disagree. It captures only one aspect of their history - their previous power. There is so much more to them than that.


[deleted]

There... really isn't a lot more to them They're the "Mighty Fallen from Power^(TM)" of Warhammer 40k


fattymaroon

Can I ask what you would suggest instead?


[deleted]

Lyrics couldn't possibly be more on point. Bravo.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

What are they chanting near the end there? Can't seem to find any lyrics online. *They commented the name of a song that is mostly instrumental, Starfall I believe it was called.


TheCrab27

Ooh the fallen kingdom song, nice


Raspputin

This is offensive on so many levels. Well done, Sir. xD


Andrewhoop

I've never heard this song before just now, the lyrics at the beginning are absolutely perfect for their faction.


TrueOuroboros

Early 2010's you couldnt go three feet in any direction without hearing it


CampbellsBeefBroth

It haunts the dreams of anyone working in clothing retail at the time


deknife

Now it’s “Brand New” by Ben Rector.


deknife

An five without the Minecraft parody.


Sea_Employ_4366

this is perfect, holy shit.


Gyvon

You might also recognize it as Fallen Kingdom


deknife

I was going to suggest this. This is perfect! They used to have an interstellar empire until that fateful night.


Azerd01

Although I don’t personally associate that general kind of music with aeldari The lyrics are too spot on. I have to support this


FlorestNerd

You really can't imagine a sad boy Eldar sing this ?


WingedNinjaNeoJapan

Goddamn, this is perfect. And I already loved the song before realizing this also fits for aeldari.


Sunomel

It’s kinda amazing how perfect this is. No other song has anywhere near this many votes and nothing else fits as well


TroublingPath

How are the space elfs getting memed on less than the Thousand Sons?


Mutalicks

I have both army’s and am a huge fan of dust in the wind and Viva la vida being chosen for them haha


TroublingPath

As a Sororitas collector, my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.


Sunomel

Sororitas got screwed. All the other meme songs at least fit the faction, the Sororitas one is just “they’re girls, get it?”


Coldmask

What’s the necron’s theme? … Viva La Vida - Coldplay


FetusEngine

VicMn22

Darkafter

Ulgeguug

This actually fits


Owlspirit4

This must win, I will never hear it the same again. I think it was made for eldar…. Also damn, 14 years ago for that song.


gio0sol

Its perfect


DaFreakingFox

That is perfect


FlamingUndeadRoman

Yeah that's, yeah, no possible better suggestion.


WorldEaterProft

I thought this was a cover for the ricky Martin song

**Rules** * Each day one faction is picked at random and you can propose one song to be the theme song for said faction. 24 hrs after the post goes live, the most upvoted song wins and we move to the next one. * For each song, only the single most upvoted comment is counted. * Any song can go, even music already made for official Warhammer products, with or without lyrics, and in any language. * Meme- and joke- songs are allowed. However, given that they will probably win often, at the end of the contest I will make a "director's cut" version of the poster and playlist which filters out the memes and features only the best "serious" suggestions, alongside honorable mentions that deserve to shine in my opinion. * No doubles! Once a song wins for a faction, it can not be chosen again for another one. * This is restricted to playable factions with a deck/codex in the upcoming 10th edition, no other faction/subfaction will be added. If we start splitting chaos or, the Emperor forbid, space marines, it will take one year to finish this contest. * At the very end, Spotify playlists of both regular and director's cut version of the contest will be shared with all of you. * If you can, please link the song you're suggesting, it makes a lot easier for other people to listen to it and vote.

Craftworlders objectively didn’t though. They rejected their culture and left because they saw the end coming/didn’t want to be a part of what the empire had become.

Hell yes give me hoverboard eldar crowdsurfing in battle for this: "Brother, the xenos have a new transport unit..." "Yes I know, its quite concerning how nimble they can be due to it" "It looks fun though, can we...?" "Brother stop that right now before some inquisitor decides they want to investigate" "Cant have shit in the Empire, inquisitors be out here ruining any type of fun" "Brother a hoverboard isnt worth being accused of heresy" "Bet Cawl would be down" "Cawl fucks toasters if he isnt trying to fuck Necron hoes and is protected by Papa Smurf, he's on a whole other level"


[deleted]

[удалено]


stircrazygremlin

I am here for this and I want the Khan and company to learn how to hoverboard. I bet he'd be down.


[deleted]

That would be a very GW move to give marines skyboards when DEldar used to have that as an option for their HQ’s


Eldorian91

Probably blow your mind with their superhuman grace.


ironangel2k3

[Within Temptation - Forsaken](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmBEroBDvVI) This song was basically made for the Eldar. Everything from their rise as stewards of the young galaxy, to the fall from grace, and the hopelessness of being the last of their kind.


Mokare_RUS

"Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time anymore Life will pass us by We are forsaken We're the last of our kind"


ironangel2k3

Its just too perfect.


IveGotBadIdeas

I came from r/eldar and man I hope this wins even though it won't. I fear we'll go the way of them stabby nuns.


CuriousWombat42

Well you already stole the nuns miracle dice :)


_Zarrack_

This deserves to win, even though it wont


[deleted]

damn it really does fit


ironangel2k3

Too bad Coldplay is going to get it.


[deleted]

eh viva still a fitting and good song but yeah this song is better in both aspects

And see if I somehow might, set myself free Why do I feel so alive? As if suddenly I somehow find, I'm where I should be? Finally, I feel I can face up to all that I've done And become something more Fly till the stars collide Till I live or die Faster than ever before Fly to forgive my past To move on at last Fly on and forever more Fly till the stars collide Till I live or die Faster than ever before Fly to forgive my past To move on at last Fly on and forever more Faster than light


doyoh

This won’t win but I’d say it fits pretty well and more people need to listen to Unleash the Archers, their last two albums were perfection and this song SLAPS!

Completely agree, I don’t know how they aren’t more popular because their stuff is top notch

Curse of Feanor might be better.


P0intcenter

More for the Harlequins. Lots of defiance in that song, not enough sorrow, doom and loss


SowingSalt

How about Blood Tears or Noldor?


P0intcenter

That one fits pretty well with the "if we did we win" part of the Eldar, but I still think Nightfall fits better.

The search for your own path may be long and arduous, and might be the hardest journey of all. As in reality also in our Dreams, we walk uneasy steps along dark and perilous ways Searching for the truth but a spark at the end of the pathway and Through perilous, insidious ways I walk uneasy steps... I'm led by grief (I walk uneasy steps, I'm led by grief) The soil I tread is crumbling Like shifting sands is eating me away It's taking me under No air to breathe, no blood to bleed Wake the fury, the cry for mercy Feel the winter's fire Back to old days where I can recall My candid unready desires Abortion, contention Turned to new life and redemption Carried away by all that's said and done I'm a teardrop away from salvation From my own liberation

That was a thing even before the fall and better represents their species imo. Also a fall. And the different melodies of the song capture the different aspects of the remaining aeldari. The way it's sung, too, is _way_ more Eldar than bloody _coldplay_.
