For too long have our brethren been slandered and maligned by the wicked and the dishonorable. No more!
Post your favourite things about elves. Pictures, stories, etc...
Personally I love the High Elves from Warhammer Fantasy the best. Everything from their aesthetic, their architecture to their personality to their history (Aenarion was such a badass).
More elven badassery with a Swordmaster of Hoeth.
These warrior monks are trained from birth in the use of their greatswords forged of the finest elven steel.
They slice through the battlefield like the wind and lay waste to the enemies of Ulthuan.
High Elves are masters of arcane magic.
None can rival their mages on field of battle.
It was the high elves who first taught humans the art of magic and founded the imperial college.
>>47623415
My party's got an elf traveling with us and I gotta say, I don't have any complaints.
Long ago, high elven lord from Caledor tamed the dragons and rode to battle on the backs of the fierce beasts.
Dragonriders of Caledor were powerful mages and skilled warriors. Their ferocity was unmatched.
Beleg Cúthalion is the best bro-elf that a retard like Túrin did not deserve.
Naggarothi best elves.
Celebrimbor. An elf so metal that even the Dwarves thought he was great.

Prince Imric a best.
I love elves
And I hate elves
Depends on what take setting has on them
The fact that I love them in those where they're cool and interesting, makes me hate them even more in settings where they're not
http://dlx.bookzz.org/foreignfiction/763000/4aebdf084dc05a7d1176320d374c3c66.html/_as/%5BTurtledove_Harry%5D_After_the_Last_Elf_is_Dead%28BookZZ.org%29.html
Does anyone know if there's anything like this but better written?
>>47624696
Fingolfin best elf. Feanor a shit.
Love elves that have a sort of alien appearance that make them standout from humans.
Hate elves that pretty much just look like attractive humans with pointy ears.
>>47625618
Tolkien got that part straight from norse mythology though
And technically it's humans who are ugly elves since they only appeared after elves had already lived for several thousand years
>>47623498
caledor dragontamer was the only good elf
THE ONLY GOOD ELF
>>47623415
Why do people like elves? They're rude and try to be a dick to everyone.
>>47625965
>and try to be a dick to everyone.
some people may like dicks
>>47625990
>liking rude people
Are you a masochist?
>>47625965
They are the true heros of the world who never get credit for it, with sick hats. They faced chaos directly and found a way to keep in undercontrol
>you will never be a glorious Asur
>>47625965
>try to be a dick to everyone
Where are you getting this from?
They taught humans the art of magic and basically saved the world. Is that what you call being a dick?
>>47626000
Note when I say this, before the HE built the vortex, demons where able to walk around the mortal plane like it was no thang
Socialists say we can't like badass princes and brainwash up into saying they are fuccbois, but the truth is quite the contrary
>>47626034
>saved the world
From what?
>>47625965
Imagine being a lithe, agile, tall, norseman with a glorious mane of hair carving his way through vile orcs with such grace that it looks more like a dance than an actual fight.
That is fucking awesome. It's just just watching two fencers go at it and one guy disarms the other with a flawless and fluid flick of his wrist.
I'm not one for "raaagh brute force SMASH!" as it just seems lazy, all weapons can be handled with tact or skill.
>>47626043
The chaos daemons that were raping reality you thunder cuck. The ones who the lizards couldn't deal with'
Remember that whfb elves and any race is a thousand times cooler than anything in most fantasy settings
>>47626043
Chaos.
>>47626063
>>47626076
So that means I should be extremely supportive of them because they're my "greatest ally"
>>47624696
Im not a elf person, but I have to say he had mayor balls of steel to not only challenge Morgoroth, but call him coward to his face. Plus inflicting him seven greavous wounds
>>47625995
Yes! I want an elf to insult me and step on me!
>>47626100
1-They are busy with their retarded forset kin and corrupted evil kin
2- Humans and lizards and dorfs are cunts most the time
3-Why would you work with people who don't understand sweet hats?
>>47626100
Who is humanity's greatest ally in your opinion?
I like my Elves to be good at making fedorabots
>>47626162
Dwarves, duh.
>>47626157
>wanting sweet hats as a thing to wear
>>47626162
Humanity, of course:^)
Best elf coming through
>>47626135
Fingolfin getting killed gives a bit of perspective in how powerful Morgoth was and how pitifully weak Sauron was by comparison. He was THE most powerful elf-lord, far more than any of the high elven royalty left by the third age. He got so mightily pissed everyone in Angband thought he was a god. Even then, Morgoth only needs to hit him three times and then literally crush him
By comparison, Sauron got defeated out of hand by Orome's literal dog in the first age and then by Elrond and Isildur at the prime of his power. Granted, one was a half elf and the other was fucking 8 feet tall Numenorean, but it's still pretty undignified
>>47626346
Power must not mean prowess in combat.
Poast elf/human romance!
>>47623415The only good elf is a dead one. DEUS VULT
>>47626400
>killing elves
>not telling them to fuck off
I don't like elves but that's crude.
>>47626400
Hi Virt.
We missed you.
>>47626395
>>47626400
I can never decide which one of you I hate more.
>>47626385
Well, yes. Sauron's only a Maia, and more of a smith and strategist than a warrior since he originally served Aule. But Morgoth's thing was that he had a bit of the powers of all of the rest of the Ainur
In fact Aule's Maiar must be really fucking shoddy since Saruman was one too
>>47626434
>putting a penis in an elf
>killing elf
Come on, choice is obvious
One of my absolute favorite characters was a gestalted Witch (of Strength)-Rogue build at 14th level. She was old, very old. Old enough that she had to offset her penalties by using every strength and con booster to be at barely sustainable levels (her dex and Int were extraordinary, and she had a fair charisma score because of her age).
The GM rolled for level of wealth and society standing. She turned out to be the owner of a good sized mountain and the neighboring forest. So I decided she had spent the last three or four centuries mining for diamonds and silver in the mountain, and exacting tribute from the gnolls and caravans that passed through her forest. She was a kind of genius loci - her stealth was near preternatural without using magic, and when she used magic, she could eviscerate small armies by herself (the claws hex and misfortune hex, combined with greater invisibility and sneak attack and the self-buff spells from the cleric list that witch of strength gains....she was a literal murder machine).
She resumed adventuring because the party passed through her land and managed to defeat an adult dragon by themselves (she managed to get a baleful polymorph on the dragon's mate, unbeknownst to the party), so she started tagging along and helping from the shadow, becoming their "guardian spirit."
sometimes playing rediculously old characters is a hell of a lot of fun. You get to claim a lot of their mechanical benefits are just 'wisdom and experience' instead of high skills and class abilities. The party had no idea what my classes were.
My man Fingolfin. No mortal was ever stronger.
>>47626498
>>47626434
I hate Elf/human shippers infinitely more than I hate elf haters.
At least the haters aren't depraved degenerates that want to fuck members of another species.
>>47626708
>implying the haters don't commit necrophilia and bestiality
>>47626749
Stop projecting your horrible fetishes onto other people.
>>47626777
Why the fuck would anyone have sex with the dead?
How about we keep talking about elves instead of letting the thread derail into sex?
>>47626708
>that want to fuck members of another species.
That's just natural. I hate them because their elves are just one-dimensional waifus with no interesting qualities or character that fall for the self-insert human for no reason. They will mold those elves into this regardless of the setting, like making the Eldar not freakishly tall or alien like in that pic the guy posted.
>>47626708
Elves are basically humans anon. As are dwarves and halflings etc etc
All the nonhuman races just represent different facets of humanity. Elves just got all the best genes: tall, beautiful, intellegent. The other races kinda got shafted...
>>47626076
i just realised that the slannesh symbol hanging between his horns looks like a little scowly face.
>>47626853
Yeah.
I hate people who insist that Eldar are just pretty humans, because of some bad fanart (and even official art), when Eldar have consistently been described as tall, and sorta freaky looking, in their codexes. I am not saying that they are total ayy lmaos, just that they look different and outlandish enough from humans, that you can clearly tell that THEY ARE NOT HUMAN just by looking at them.
The Art may be inconsistent, as it often is with GW, regardless of the race, but the way the Eldar and Dark Eldar codexes themselves DESCRIBE them, has stayed consistent for years. Out of all the fan artists, picture related captures the way the Eldar are described to look like the best.
>>47626934
Beckjann best man
Seriously he should be making the covers and art for nearly everything Eldar-related. Literally the only one that shows them as they should be shown.
>>47626934
This is seriously creepy
good hob beckjann
>>47626934
>>47627453
How is that creepy or alien? He looks like perfect husbando material.
>>47626931
>Elves are basically humans anon
Not in all settings.
>>47627531
You are not fooling anyone knife ear
>>47627531
Nobody said that the Eldar can't be attractive. What was said is that they look clearly not human, despite having generally similar appearance. Note the high cheekbones, somewhat elongated face, sharp features, and eyes that seem more akin to ones of a predatory bird.
Beckjann manages to hit the uncanny valley look they are described to have pretty well.
Generally, if an Eldar artwork features the Eldar with soft, very round, or otherwise "cute" facial features, it is doing something wrong.
Eldar faces are consistently described as having sharp features, across the sexes.
>>47627605
>knife ear
Is that a compliment, spoon-ear? Is it because of an elf's sharp hearing, or because their long pointed ears are attractive and treasured like knives are?
>>47627608
That literally looks just like a generic D&D elf.
>>47623459
If she dresses like that, I can't imagine there would be any complaints.
>>47627732
Yes, and?
I don't give two shits about what elves look like in shite like D&D. What is relevant, is that beckjann's artwork is accurate to the way the Eldar are described looking like.
>>47626853
What about the original Tolkien elves? They weren't waifus. I mean Feanor and Fingolfin and other elves were actually interesting. Sure some elven women have went with humans but only two of them I think Beren and Luthen, and Aragon but Aragon was the king and such, also it's not really dwelt on. And in Warhammer Fantasy no human would EVER get an elf waifu the High Elves would rather kill themselves than fuck what is basically an animal to them.
The Dark Elves might but they are fucked up degenerates and the human probably would not like the fucking that happens.
>>47627804
And I was just commenting on how it looks like a fairly good piece of D&D elf art.
>>47626000
>>47626035
Reminder that the Slann did half the work on the magic side of things.
But also a reminder that one of the abandoned plot points was the greatest Elf mages being aware of the Slann and working with them intentionally.
>>47627817
>Beren and Luthen
It's my headcanon, but I always thought that Beren was a pretty elfish guy. He learned the language of the birds, or was it of all animals of the woods? He survived in the woods. And back then humans and elves were of equal power. And in general seemed to be a pretty cool guy. So this story isn't like those greentext fanfictions in which the elf falls in love with some ordinary human.
>>47626162
>>47626213
Elves and Dwarfs gave as much as each other.
I'd argue Vampires though. They kept mankind strong and united, while the Lahmians did actually save the Empire quite a bit in secret in order to keep the status quo.
>>47626708
>At least the haters aren't depraved degenerates that want to fuck members of another species.
People like...you, are...exactly why we cannot...have nice, things.
>>47627804
We're talking about Elves, dumbass.
Not your space mary sue faggots.
>>47628012
They also fucked up the world and let Chaos win.
Thanks Manfred.
>>47627817
Perhaps a really noble and feminine Bretonian Knight and a Wood Elf
>>47627817
>And in Warhammer Fantasy no human would EVER get an elf waifu the High Elves would rather kill themselves than fuck what is basically an animal to them.
That's completely non-canon fanfiction straight out of 40k, there are half-Elves mentioned in Gotrek and Felix and Teclis himself was shagging human twins.
Elves are mentioned constantly living in just about any human city on the coast.
>>47628046
No, the problem is your ilk, who can't stop themselves from fetishising fucking everything. You people are the reason we originally got the nazi mod here. Stay the fuck in /d/.
>>47628064
Eldar were brought into the topic here>>47626395, you blind retarded faggot.
>>47628012
Vlad would make empire great again.
He would be literally the best emperor since Sigmar
>>47628079
>feminine Bretonian Knight and a Wood Elf
Am I reading this right? Do you think wood elves are not as metal as the other warhammer elves?
>>47628077
Mannfred is the biggest fuckup in any Warhammer. Which is kind of sad because he was pretty awesome in 7e fluff.
Shit, even in Age of Sigmar his attempt at "rebellion" is full-retard.
The character is the epitome of Flanderization in a tabletop game.
>>47627992
Early humans in general are very Elf-like. Anything that parallels our pre-Rome history.
Look at Bard. Dude was the last person alive who could talk to a thrush, and that little fuck flew into an inferno of death to tell him to ATTACK ITS WEAK POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE.
Numenor is basically Greece.
>>47628091
Are those novels questionable when it comes to canon like wh40k novels?
>>47628149
I'd say Thanqual and Failbaddon are bigger fuck ups than Manfred. After all Manfred managed to do what Abbadon couldn't do for 13 tries. He managed to destroy the world. Also his voice in Warhammer total war makes him sound like a drooling retard.
>>47628093
You replied to shitposting, you're still off-topic.
>>47628117
Ushoran's plan was better but he made the mistake of forgetting Nehekharan royalty are spiteful (wo)manchildren.
But yeah, Vlad was good in theory. But you forget he'd probably have appointed Konrad and Mannfred in charge of provinces, so the only good Vlad would be one after those two are out of the picture.
>You will never get a campaign between Emperor Vlad and Mannfred the Usurper
>>47628127
They are the most savage and strange of all the elves.
But they like Brettonians for some reasons.
Perhaps because they have elven blood.
also is this 9th age art? Looks familiar enough
>>47628149
I know that feel, I thought Manfred was going to be a great leader that will finally realise they need to team up with Empire against chaos.
And then he juist started stealing elf princesses,propably to drink their period blood
>>47628208
>Thanqual
His enitre thing is that he is a failure,but he can explain himself.
>>47628127
Sadly, the best Wood Elf characterization came from the 9th Age Sylvan Elves.
Wood Elves in the Warhammer lore just come across as hick voodoo High Elves.
>>47628223
>it's shitposting if I don't like the subject matter.
Eldar are relevant to an elf thread, you obtuse asswipe. They are frigging Space Elves.
>>47628223
>Ushoran's plan
First time I heard about this. What was it?
> have appointed Konrad and Mannfred in charge of provinces,
Even he knew Konrad was mad,he kept him around mostly for laughs. Manfred was powerhungry,but court intrigue happens in normal Empire too
>>47628199
No. Gotrek and Felix is the backbone of Warhammer Fantasy, and were published until the very end of the game. The exploits of the two are referenced constantly in Army Books.
The writer later on said he regretted using "lusts for Half-Elf women" as Snorri Whitebeard's personality quirk, but it was never made non-canon and the plot of one of the primary stories hinged on Teclis and the twins.
>>47628091
I heard that Elven women are very bitchy, and super high maintenance so they probably wouldn't go for a human. As for elven males, I'll grant that however men do have higher standards than women and since human women are much easier than elven women I can see elven men going for them. Hell in our history European sailors fucked Aboriginal women.
>>47628117
You serious mate? I will say Vlad is a pretty good vampire, and may not be a bad leader. However I don't think he'd be better than Magnus, or Karl Franz, or even Mandred Skaven Slayer.
>>47628199
No they are cannon just like 40k novels.
>>47628227
Don't the Wood Elves basically steal Bretonian babbies and shit?
To my understanding, they are the most fae like elves of Warhammer elves.
>>47627977
>>47627977
I miss the frogs
>>47628296
Sometimes they slaugher entire Brettonian villages because it was raining,sometimes they come out of their forests and help Brettonians in battle.
I never read much about either of this factions so I might be wrong,but they are basically in love-hate relationship
>>47626000
>They are the true heros of the world
You're talking about the same race that enslave and torture humans.
>>47628271
Ushoran went to a kingdom, its arguable what the parallel is but generally just something Eastern European, called Mourkain and made friends with the Necromancy-obsessed king.
Ushoran created a stable vampire kingdom where humans and vampires have equal rights, killing a citizen is against the law and vampires feed on criminals or volunteers.
When the king went mad Ushoran deposed him in a way he couldn't resurrect from then kept building the kingdom strength. He eventually sent invitations to all the other wayward vampire bloodlines to join him in his new utopia, but the very first vampire and his cousin, Queen Neferata, was insulted because she saw it as an invitation to be his subordinate.
So she alerted the newborn Empire to his kingdom, which went on a Germanic crusade to wipe it out. Meanwhile, another bloodline lead by the old captain of Neferata's guard, Abhorash, had fought their way through Orc lands and caused a massive WAAAGH that went to the non-nomadic vampires in Mourkain.
Meanwhile, the head of another bloodline (that had been helping Ushoran tame magical artifacts of the first necromancer) named W'soran had gone slightly insane and was planning on backstabbing Ushoran and tricked him into putting on a crown that increased his power but made him emotionally imbalanced.
So the vampires and Mourkainians fought against the Orcs and the Empire while also fending off the growing madness from the Crown of Command affecting them. Eventually the city was broken, and everyone fled.
The Strigoi vampires went insane and began eating meat from graveyards to survive, mutating them into part-bat savages. The humans of Mourkain became the Strigany AKA Gypsies who are hated everywhere they go, or followed the vampires and also ate corpses and became Ghouls.
>>47628432
Thats Dark Elves. The Dark Elves also capture and torture High Elves worse. Also High Elves frequently make it their mission to kill the fuck out of every Dark Elf they can find. At least until the fuck up that was the end times with Malekith the motherfucker becoming king of all elves. Honestly they should have stuck to lore and had a male mage kill him as that was his destiny.
>>47628455
Ushoran himself continued to fall into madness alone, until one day he saved a bunch of Strigany and lead them like Moses back to Mourkain to rebuild. That plot was dropped though, next we see him is Age of Sigmar where he has lead humans and vampires from all over reality into his contagious aura-like self-delusion where naked snarling Ghouls fighting over an Ogre's intestines instead see each other as knights digging into a feast as friends.
The first necromancer is now the god of death and the afterlife, and everyone is trying to find Ushoran because they can use him to control the massive bands of Ghouls everywhere.
Ushoran himself is just spreading his madness everywhere he can, finding all the lost and scattered humans and vampires hiding from Chaos and uniting them into gigantic hordes driven only by hunger and the desire to be respectable again.
tl;dr Romanian King Lear.
I know I enjoy me some elf lovin'. The way those knife-ears squeal as I ram my colossal master race cock down their holes is just glorious.
>>47628257
There are no Elves in 40k. 40k cannot be Elf relevant.
>>47628294
Pic related?
>>47628455
>>47628485
So that's how they went to shit
I like how he managed to get fucked by every bloodline but the Carsteins
>>47628506
Yeah, kinda like that.
>>47628296
They steal any Bret born with the ability to use magic. The fate of most of the is unknown, but a small number return as wizards for Bretonnia and basically the priest caste. All of them are female.
Wood Elves in general are fucking insane and do shit arbitrarily. They'll spend entire armies defending Brets, but every harvest season their king leads a massive raid to kill shitloads of peasants.
That's why I say Sylvan Elves is the first good depiction of Wood Elves. It gives reasons for why they do what they do, Warhammer lore always relied on you assuming that they do.
>>47628529
Carstens probably weren't around back then, seeing how they are a relatively young bloodline.
>>47628568
They always were very conflicted. The elves like or at least ignore humans,while the forest itself wants to kill them
>>47628601
Vlad was one of the original vampires,but he just fucked off somewhere for 3 thousand years
>>47628529
The von Carsteins actually are their main abusers post-fall. They torture them for shits and giggles, manipulate them into attacking their enemies or manipulate others into attacking them.
EVERYONE shits on the Strigoi, which is why they can never really rise again. The only hope they had was in that Ancient Blood book, but then GW completely abandoned it. They didn't even mention the Strigoi or Ushoran at all in End Times.
They're just stuck being werewolves who never go back to human form. Ushoran is stuck somewhere between being the Typhoid Mary for vampire rabies or a complete political genius with ALL the cards stacked against him.
To make matters worse, he was known in Nehekhara before and after becoming a vampire as the handsome smooth-talker. He was basically a bard.
>>47628639
Another massive plot hole, Vlad himself in his own book doesn't know what he was doing for that time and thought he was the sire of Vashanesh, maybe, but everyone else says Neferata had no husband and Vashanesh didn't exist. This is partially because GW fucked up the names of the non-bloodline vampires royally, pun unintended, and kept using a rotating list of names.
Then in End Times after being dead he suddenly remembered he is Vashanesh.
>>47628471
Elves are elves and any talk of "high elves" and "dark elves" are just those slippery ponces trying to wiggle out from under a grudge.
>>47628726
Oh well I like dwarfs quite a bit more than elves. So ok.
>>47623415
High Elfs are objectively the bet race in Warhammer.
Does someone have a proper scan of this piece of Artwork? I just photographed it from the book.
>>47628568
So what is the reason in 9th age they do their shit?
>>47628808
>>47628834
>>47628726
Dwarfs are Dwarfs and any talk of "Chaos Dwarfs" and "Proper Dwarfs" are just those petty lackwits tryig to wiggle out from under their hypocrisy
>>47628862
>>47628813
Actually the best is empire, then it's dwarfs, then Kislev, tomb kings, vampire counts, the Italian city states and spain, then high elves, then Bretonnia, then lizards, then Wood elves, then Chaos and Dark Elves at the bottom
>>47628294
> However I don't think he'd be better than Magnus, or Karl Franz, or even Mandred Skaven Slayer.
Karl Franz and Magnus were always described as best ever since Sigmar himself,but Vlad came before them.
Vlad attacked during the age of 3 emperors. He was old as fuck and could realise Chaos is coming. If so,he knew that if empire won't unite it will be destroyed.
He wanted to became the one emperor and unite the humans with the vampires,creating the most powerful country on the Old World,strong enough to win with chaos,led by immortal emperor.
Only he and Ushoran had realised that vampires should not hunt humans,but live in simbiosis with them
>>47625618
>dem hairlines
>>47628875
Oh shit when Felix said that Gotrek and a few other dwarfs almost killed him.
>>47628726
Ye just don't know enuff good 'uns. I know a Wutelgi, not the most polite lassy considerin she has a mouth like a Skruff Thagi, but you should see her slice a Raki! Reminds me a bit of me cousin Okri when he had dirt in his eyes and was swingin his axe around a bar to get some Umgi that called him a stool.
Just gotta spend some time around the Dawri, you'll find a Drengbarazi in the strangest places.
>>47628904
aaand I posted wrong picture
>>47628568
that's a bit too generalized.
Wood elves do not have influence all over bretonnia, they act around their forest and some way into bretonnia, but the bretons at the coast don't even know wood elves exist and have maybe seen a high elven ship sail by once in their life
>>47628875
Chaos Dwarfs are, effectively, corrupted by Chaos. But I don't think It's the case with Dark Elves. Cruelty and sadism It's just part of elves' nature.
>>47628813
Check the Warhammer Fantasy general thread, there's links to almost every Fantasy book and supplement ever released.
>>47628830
Spoilers a bit, but there's an example where a young not-Bret prince decides he's going to lead a crusade against the Wood Elves in revenge for raids. The narrator, a bard, goes with. They get deep into not-Athel Loren when they reach a clearing where the Wood Elves WASTE them. The bard hides in a tree and starts singing a song about the battle, so the Wood Elves take him into the king's hall. He spends a long time, two years I think, with them seeing every soldier and hearing every story while having no idea what his job is since half of them make fun of him and half are somber guards.
Then he escapes having no idea how he managed, tells the king what happened, and the king decides to lead a crusade to avenge his son despite the bard's complete horror and is forced to lead them to the same clearing. Where the Elves slaughter all the knights although its a harder fight for the Elves because the bard has told them all about how the Elves fight, the king duels the Elf king (now obviously the not-Orion who is an aspect of nature itself and the living embodiment of the seasons) and the fight is REALLY close, and the Elf wins whereupon they all sacrifice the not-Bret king.
Which from an earlier story is part of the progression of the forest. So the entire story shows the Elves planned long in advance all this shit that seemingly had nothing to do with anything else was all for a ritual where the Elves needed a difficult fight and a royal sacrifice.
So it gives an example of how some of the strangest shit that they do has a long-term plan behind it for really fucking savage and pagan reasons.
Compared to the Wood Elves in Fantasy who just kind of do shit arbitrarily while the lore hints that there's a reason for it.
>>47629069
He's referencing the fact that Dwarfs refuse to admit that Chaos Dwarfs exist, so when another race points the fact out to them when the Dwarf is ranting about Dark Elves of Warrior of Chaos proving humans and elves are a shit the Dwarf either sticks his fingers in his ears or genuinely considers killing the speaker so he can finish his rant about how everyone sucks but Dwarfs.
>>47629069
Dark Elves are effectively corrupted by Khaine, and cruelty is in the (former) Nagarythes nature, but not in all elves.
>>47629236
I don't accept the shitty End Times retcons, Slaanesh is the reason behind the Dark Elves.
Morathi, High Priestess of Slaanesh, uses her powers of manipulating the pride of her kin to engineer Malekith's fall and the continued existence of the Dark Elves until the time when she can summon her husbando Slaanesh into the world without his brothers to claim what she believes is rightfully his and have her place at his side as consort.
>>47629122
Dwarves are dicks.

Slaanesh is fond of the Dark Elves but Khaine is evil enough on his own to corrupt the Elves.
His Sword literally turned a paragon of virtue into a maniacal sadist within years. He also turned one of his fellow gods into a maimed cripple.
Khaine is the god of War and Murder, after all.
the cult of Pleasure is Slaanesh territory, but the Cult of Khaine is self explanatory
>>47629523
Racist as fuck, spiteful to the point they don't even believe in the concept of forgiveness, and mercy is only for those you can't imagine how someone wronged you.
That's Warhammer Dwarfs. The Elves aren't all that much different except instead of being spiteful they are prone to responding to insult or just anyone below them with escalating war even if they know its a full-retard move.
Meanwhile, humans are afraid of literally everything and prone to riot or purge at a moments notice.
All three are willing to utterly destroy themselves over the dumbest conflicts.

How do you ride something that's burning?
>>47630197
Because the phoenix is an immortal representation of power, that even when dying is only going to be reborn in a blaze of glory.
Elves are a (near) immortal race with grand magical power, that even when their numbers are dwindling, they manage to somehow surge back against their enemies in a blaze of glory.
>>47630258
>People that fuck vampires?
vampires don't have sex, they get off on blood. they roll around half naked on top of each other sure, but they aren't having sex, their biting each other and drinking blood, or feeding on some victim, either way theres never any sex involved.
except for underworld, which is why underworld is awesome.

No, Warhammer vampires have sex.
They drink each other's blood during sex which grants them and their future sire the powers of the other vampire, but its seen as something really REALLY bad to do outside your own bloodline and below your station within it, unless you're a peasant-tier vampire like Neferata's brothel madams.
Source=Ulrika the Vampire: Bloodborn.
>>47630490
oh shit eh? I never read any warhammer books, I just assumed there were a limited amount of pure blood vampires from the old world and they created half breeds by giving humans the blood kiss. I didn't know they could actually reproduce.
That must be a Lahmian/Von Carstein thing tho, I can't see Strigoi or Necrarchs reproducing, and Blood Dragons just drink dragon blood so they don't need to feed anymore.
I'm reading the Silmarillion and I have to wonder, why are the Teleri seemingly uncapable of going to the West without some amount of them deciding they want to stay behind every 3 seconds? I mean, so far it's been most of the Avari, the Nandor and the Sindar
Also, aren't the Nandor and Sindar technically dark elves too since they never saw the Two Trees?
>>47625547

>>47626473
Tolkien's making a point about technology, and more generally about those who try to create an ideal world. Nazis and Communists, in his day. Notice how corrupting power of any kind is. Strong Lord Acton influence there.
>>47626792
/d/ can walk you through this if you'd like.
>>47630590
The Teleri, being larger and a less homogenous mass than either the Vanyar or the Noldor, are more prone to different ideas and wants being manifested inside them. So some of them decide to stay and are not bound by social pressure.
And yes. The Moriquendi include all elves that never went over to Valinor before the Two Trees were destroyed.
>>47630549
They can't reproduce sexually, they can just have sex.
There's two methods to creating a new vampire. Either you can drink the super secret Elixer of Undeath and have magic rituals performed on you, which makes you a super powerful vampire (how isn't clear since their statline isn't all that different and even in lore it just seems to be giving you the power of being in charge of all of your created vampires).
The second way is the typical "drain until almost dead, let them drink your blood" but the exact details change from book to book.
Strigoi seem to just turn anyone they don't kill, but Lahmians feed on their "bloodswains" who are humans that get orgasmic pleasure from being fed on any it makes their heads fuzzy and they become fanatically loyal because of it. Bloodswains don't turn, and in fact one that wanted to be turned before she got old is a major plot point.
Only a few BDs ever figured out they need to eat a dragon's heart, plus Zacharias. They think its a matter of chivalry and challenge, which is why they seek out the best fights possible like a race of Dark Souls player vampires.

>>47629643
Dwarfs love grudges they always get even, thats what makes them awesome. Us humans should be more like that.
>>47632068
Nah, humans are scum.
>>47626185
the one on the left is Akulakhan and I'm guessing one of the other two is Numidium but who is the third
>>47632116
One of the other black and white comics is about two Dwarf clans wiping each other out over a Grudge they don't actually recall. Their gods punish them when they try to make peace.
>>47632219
Yeah that is pretty douchy I always though that they just refused to help that castle when it was attacked by orcs. Say I have a question based on the achievements I saw in Warhammer Total war, how pissed would the Dwarfs be if the Empire razed Karaz-a-Karak? I mean I know it would be bad, but would they hate the empire more than the elves or less? Also what would everyone else think if Karl Franz and Balthazar Gelt did that? from the vampire counts to the orcs, to Kislev, to Bretonia, to the High and Dark Elves.
>>47633147
desu, ironically the High Elves would probably be the only one pissed about it, because of the whole "alliance of races united against chaos" thing. Also, they would probably find the Franz and Gelt to be unstable to even think of burning it to the ground... and decide it might be best to remove them from the empire.
Kislev might be a little upset with the Empire due to the dwarves securing their eastern border, but not enough to cause a war.
>>47633578
Note of course it's unstable, I got the idea from Warhammer Total war. Total war has a few silly ideas like letting the dwarfs be able to ally with Vampires and such. But anyway the achievement is called the ultimate grudge. So would that make the empire more hated than the elves and greenskins combined? Also what would Mannfred do after this. After having a nice laugh of course.
>>47633946
Manfred would pretty much raise the undead dwarves in the karak and perform a large scale invasion of a depleted empire.
>>47634161
So he'd be the biggest winner of them all.
>>47634223
Pretty much yeah. He might get fucked over at Middenheim or Altdorf again, but other than that Empire is his unless Bretonnia goes on a crusade (which would be a possibility if the Empire WAS going to fall to undead).
>>47634267
So fucking around with the dwarfs will be bad unless you have total war style logistics.
But you know I've always been curious on what would happen if the Empire decided to invade Bretonnia? I mean the Empire is stronger than Bretonnia so they might be able to do it, if outside forces don't get involved. If the Empire proves to the Dwarfs that the Bretonnians are worshipping an elf they may want to fuck the knights up on general principal.
>>47634365
Eh, Dwarves don't really hate elves so much as they think they are faggoty assholes. A lot of the War of the Beards stuff has kinda faded away over a couple thousand years, though not completely.
>>47634365
And there has been plenty of wars between Bretonnia and the Empire, it's just that terrain fucks over both sides. The Empire can keep Bretonnia from coming over the Grey mountains through forts, but can't probably mount an army over them into Bretonnia that way. As for the marches Courornne, the very flat terrain means the Empire can't properly deploy its artillery, and also means Bretonnia's knights can have fantastic maneuverability and hold back the Empire, despite their technological disadvantage.
>>47634473
<Dwarfs let grudges fade away.
Lol. No dude Dwarfs live for grudges, because the humans are "allied" with the elves the Dwarfs agreed to not kill high elves on sight, and if there are enemies to both of them they will fight that enemy while ignoring each other. They hardly work together.
>>47634785
I never said they work together often at all. I just said the average dwarf won't murder an elf on the side of the road, but he will keep his eyes on him the entire time.
>>47634804
Thats not fading away Annon. They just aren't killing each other anymore. At least not on sight. Their grudges still aren't going away, they hate elves and laugh at their misfortunes.

Anaerion is truly one of the most impressive elves in all fiction.
He drew the Widowmaker, the cursed sword of Khaine to fight against the Daemons and avenge his wife and daughter.
The sword is said to absolutely corrupt the heart and mind of any mortal who wields it. But Anaerion was so wise and pure of heart that after having slaughtered the Daemons and liberated his homeland he travelled back to the isle of dread and, with his dying breath, drove the cursed sword back into the stone so deeply that none could ever free it again, before collapsing.

Wow, these are the sort of posts I usually make in these threads. Reading them accompanied with some Beckjann pictures that perfectly depict what the Eldar should look like in my opinion made me feel like I was reading something I'd written but forgotten about.
But I agree completely. I like my Elves to be tall, inhumanly slender and a mixture between fae folk, aliens and humans. Just enough humanity to them to give them some familiarity, just enough fae to give them a fantastical and mystic vibe and alien enough (possibly the most of of the three mixes) to look uncanny and foreign.
While Eldar and other Elves may be considered attractive I've always preferred them to be beautiful in a haunting, offsetting way. They should radiate a venerable and confident aura and should instantly be noticed as not human.
>>47633946
>silly ideas
No, uh, that's End Times canon, straight up. The Vampire Counts have been on the side of Order since the first End Times (hahaha the 'first' end times hahahahkill me). They're evil, predatory bastards and you probably shouldn't like them (and most of them would be better off dead, with a few notable exceptions) but they have a deep, vested interest in keep the world in one piece and basically hate Chaos as much as anybody else does.
>>47634705
>>47634365
It's also worth noting that outside forces WOULD get involved. The minute the Empire tries to mount a for-real invasion of Brettonia, the Wood Elves would start dicking over the Empire on a consistent and miserable basis. They wouldn't go to war or anything, but they'd make the life of the rank and file Empire troops a living, shit-filled hell.
>>47627662
No, it's because racial perjoratives aren't usually particularly clever or well thought out, they're just 'THAT PERSON IS DIFFERENT POINT AND LAUGH'. 'Kike' probably comes from either the common 'ki' endings to many Eastern European jewish names, 'nigger' is literally just a direct reference to skin color, 'slant-eyes' is, again, just literal, much like 'chink'. I mean, 'darky'? Come the fuck on. Racist slurs are almost universally kind of stupid. One of the most clever ethnic insults I've ever heard is 'wet back'. That should tell you something.

>morgoth was afraid
His hopeless challenge dauntless cried
Fingolfin there: 'Come, open wide,
dark king, your ghastly brazen doors!
Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors!
Come forth, O monstrous craven lord,
and fight with thine own hand and sword,
thou wielder of hosts of banded thralls,
thou tyrant leaguered with strong walls,
thou foe of Gods and elvish race!
I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!'
--
Thus he came alone to Angband's gate and smote upon it once again, and sounding a challenge upon his silver horn he called Morgoth himself to come forth to combat, crying: 'Come forth, thou coward king, to fight with thine own hand! Den-dweller, wielder of thralls, liar and lurker, foe of Gods and Elves, come! For I would see thy craven face.'
>>47628296

One of Sotha Sil's constructs.
Humans invented the very concepts of elves, so they're automatically just cheap knockoffs of humans. No matter the setting, they'll never win, because they're just words on a page, stuck in print and mind, unable to interact with the greater reality.

There is a differance between a temporary ceasefire and an alliance when Chaos isn't literally buttfucking you. I mean Dwarfs would not ally with Vampires to fight the Empire. But the AI can do that if you play as Empire in Total war Warhammer.

Yeah, because Brettonia is the Wood Elves vassal.
