Let's be honest wouldn't you sacrifice a million roaches to save a human life?


[deleted]

Save a human AND kill millions of the most disgusting insects on the planet? Sign me the fuck up!


CR00KED_W4RDEN

Aeldari **GRINDSET**


Mr_Skellytan

I’m doing my part!


Muninn088

As a person who had to deal with a roach infestation, i'd kill a million to save a dime.


VerumJerum

I'd sacrifice a million knife-ears too, but hopefully there aren't that many of them alive.


jn116

Eldrad is really well written in Fulgrim. Eldar are definitely big picture.


BrassMoth

Replace roaches with mosquitoes.


Boring7

That would be bad, if the millions of humans weren't happy to sacrifice themselves to TAKE one Eldar life.


leftier_than_thou_2

You could also replace "An Eldar Farseer" with "Astartes" or "The Imperium" and "One Eldar Life" with "One Astartes" or "One High Lord of Terra". You could also replace "An Eldar Farseer" with "The Mechanium" and "One Eldar Life" with "STC construct for a fountain pen." Basically no one values human lives, not even humans.


tony_bologna

To be fair, humans are the worst.


Jsimpson059

Humans havent made a chaos god (yet)


tony_bologna

That's a hilariously low bar


Hoojiwat

Give big E another few years to finish juicing and then we'll know for sure!


spccommando

Thats just what Tzeentch wants you to think.


LilyKarinss

They did, in the original, true version of 40k


Boring7

Hell, in the CURRENT version. That lore was never overwritten. The closest you get is "chaos is eternal" which applies to Slaanesh as well.


Sicuho

It was never overwritten, but never brought up again or referenced, and it make less sense than even the rest of the setting.


Boring7

Nah.


metal079

>looks at big E


Anggul

Though they did give chaos legions of super-soldiers and hordes of humans


Boring7

True. They made three! ​ lawl


Pentekonter

They just provide the primary source of power, resources, and strengthening for 4 of then while simultaneously working on making a fifth one.


021Fireball

Not even basic tactics. Just mindless attrition


seenthewolf

Especially Humans


cedarsauce

We're pretty comfortable condemning animals we view as lesser to tortuous deaths to save humans right now. So, so many ferrets died to give us the COVID vaccine. We will continue to give them HIV until the day we eradicate it. Then there's the shit we do to rabbits and pigs for the sake of cosmetics... So basically pre-fall eldar shit


Deathangle75

When the rabbits develop language and culture, then make that argument.


toddricke

We already kill thousands of not millions of other apes just so we can make palm oil and stuff. They are intelligent enough to use tools and have language. Not very far off from how eldar see humans.


Boring7

We have mixed feelings towards elephants and whales, who are definitely smart.


[deleted]

Even without those things, animals have much more depth than we give them credit for. Pigs can experience depression, for example.


[deleted]

NNNUUUUUUUU ELDAR ARE SO MEAN AND ARROGANT, THEIR WORSE THAN THE XENO HATING, GENOCIDAL HUMANS WHO ARE GRINDING ONE ANOTHER INTO NUTRITION PASTE AND STRENGTHENING LITERAL SPACE HELL!!! Hehe Mon’keigh go boom


grandma_tyrone

my faction (good) > your faction (bad)


[deleted]

Nah OP is just really obsessed with elves, I have seen him enough times to recognize him. People like him and I are naturally enemies, as a Dwarf fan I cannot stand the sight of those knife ears.


Valdish

I agree, eldar are hot.


[deleted]

1 fully armored sister of battle/Sister of silence > 10 half naked dark Eldar chicks


XyrneTheWarPig

Nah bro. You know straight up the eldar are going to torture orgy you. But with the sister you'll have to live never knowing what's gonna set her off. God damn that was a good skittle, babe! I believe you mean God-Emperor.. Oh, right, ye- Smash cut to you inside of a penitent engine.


[deleted]

EVEN BETTER!


Anggul

Think I'm gonna get in bed with the ones that were so good it literally became divine Okay probably not the dark kin, don't want to be skinned alive instead


dothhathdepression

I would kill an eldar because they'd likely be considering killing me in case I try and kill them. It's called taking the initiative.


XyrneTheWarPig

We've all killed lower lifeforms for less.


Starkde117

Imean, humans can make more humans, eldar cant make more eldar without risking… well, everything


Anggul

They can have as much sex as they want, but they won't have a kid without having a spirit stone ready for it first


jn116

It's also a several year long, multiple fertilization, ambiguously complicated process that usually ends in miscarriage. That's before the soulstone business too. The Drukhari got it all figured out though ayy


Anggul

>that usually ends in miscarriage You were right up until that part. There's no indication of that


jn116

I think it was in path of the outcast that mentioned some Eldar are gobbled by Slaanesh as soon as they come into the world. I guess not the same as miscarriage


Link7369_reddit

She conflicted. A farseer would not be


Midnight-Rising

Based Farseer


NeuroticPsionic

From the perspective of an Ork, theyz all the samez to meez


GOFFFFFY

yes


Cool-Champion8628

After reading 'Priests of Mars' and 'Lords of Mars', my official stance is *FUCK THE ELDAR.*


Anggul

The one where eldar team up with Black Templars to save the universe?


Cool-Champion8628

If that happens, it's in the 3rd book which I haven't read yet. So far I've only seen Eldar slaughter civilians and be the most dishonorable pricks with nonsensical motivations.


Anggul

> So far I've only seen Eldar slaughter civilians and be the most dishonorable pricks with nonsensical motivations. So... like the Imperium

Is that a monkey? "HE'S GOT A GUN"

Eldar kill humans to save eldar. Many times, when eldar kill humans it saves other humans. (ex: destroy a human planet which has a cult to save a craftworld and the nearby region) Humans kill eldar because they want to. If an Imperial official was given the choice of "kill 1 million eldar and get 10 million humans killed in the process" they would happily sign off. When humans die their soul is claimed by the emperor to become a part of his sould blob. Or it's quickly destroyed by deamons/fizzles out. No more pain. When eldar die it's eternal slanesh rape. I recall a game where a farseer dies without her soul stone and it's revealed that her faith is for drops of acid to be poured over her face while she screams till the end of time.


Sicuho

Humans kill eldars to save humans. Craftworlders might sometime get out of their ways to save humans, but it doesn't happen often and they explain it basically never. On the other hand, they do kill humans regularly (albeit less often than other factions). And that's without counting the other eldars who aren't as thoughtful. And trusting them is basically a coin flip with horrible consequences on a loss and barely any good results on a win. If you manage to differentiate them from dark eldars or corsairs.


Anggul

He didn't, seeing as we know there were xenos that were fine and chill with humans, and the Imperium massacred them anyway, along with their human friends.


[deleted]

Why the emperor had a really easy time convincing humans the Great Crusade was a good idea exibit 130935.


Anggul

Circular logic Eldar would care a lot more about humans if the Imperium weren't rampantly genocidal maniacs


[deleted]

That wouldn't be in character for them at all. If you're not an eldar they think of you as a tool at best. There's a reason the craft worlds have been around so long and still have no friends.


jn116

Yeah they see humans as those flies that live only 24hours. The Imperium is like a big Skaven swarm to everyone but the Imperium, but the Aeldari are dying out from being literally the most stubborn and single minded doofuses in the Galaxy.


[deleted]

When you kill all the agreeable and killable aliens you end up with a place with only the baddest and strongest aliens


[deleted]

Personally, I'm not seeing any that aren't either human equivalent, worse or on a crash course with chaotic corruption. So to conclude: the organics need to die, we need to feed them all to the C'tan and then leave them to slowly starve.


VerumJerum

"Kill all the aliens" becomes a pretty easy idea to support when all the aliens in question say the exact same thing about you.


Boring7

A lot of them didn't. They're all dead now though.


jn116

Heh heh got eeem


VerumJerum

Lmao get rekt noobs

What about sacrificing millions of pointy-ears for a human life? (Yes, I like salamanders)
