into another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast.
My name is D.K. Diamantis.
His name is Bricky.
He's got all that sweet, sweet,
ridiculous 40K info.
But before he gives it to us,
if you enjoyed today's episode,
head him over to patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous
and consider supporting your favorite weirdos.
We have access to the Discord,
HD posters,
bloopers if they happen,
a lot of really cool stuff.
And yeah, patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous.
and Bricky, if I wanted to get some really ridiculous merch,
where pray tell, would I go?
Pray tell, he says.
We would go to Orchidate.com.
Orchidate.com.
Check out the amazing merch.
We got hoodies, t-shirts, stickers, etc.
Also, I found out that if you actually want to get your order
internationally before Christmas, you can by using either D-H-L or UPS shipping.
However, I do warn you that the shipping costs.
are astronomical.
So that is a,
I don't care if I have to spend the extra money,
I need it soon type of deal.
That's pretty amazing
that you can actually get it internationally
before Christmas, because Christmas is like, what,
two weeks away?
Someone purchased a DHS shipping
to Romania,
and the shipping for like,
I think two hoodies or something,
cost them like 40 bucks,
which is a lot of money.
But it got there in five days.
Wow.
So, you know, like, it's an option.
Obviously, I don't get to set the shipping prices.
But regardless, besides all that, if you're in America,
buy it now if you want to get it by Christmas.
And also, Kyvis K and Book Club will be this week, we think, probably.
Yeah, probably.
Sure.
Pretty soon.
Soon, T.M.
It'll be early, middle, mid-January, I guess now.
God, it doesn't feel like it's almost the middle of January.
It's literally December, Dufus.
I know.
Or, yeah, December, sorry.
It doesn't feel like it's the middle of December
It doesn't feel like Christmas is literally right around the corner
I can't believe you've sabotaged this podcast already, DK
Already I've said January instead of December
Podcast ruined
I'll hand in my retirement papers
Crushed Bricky is my name
DK is what I meant to say
Would you like a quote
Yeah
I'm gonna fuck this up so bad dude
But go ahead hit me with the quote
Hit me with the quote
All right.
It says, quote,
These are not soldiers nor warriors.
This enemy is an act of murder-given flesh,
and they will not stop until terror is the only thing that lives.
Captain Jephta Kohl executed for cowardice.
The end of that really makes that quote.
They're not so.
It sounds like it's some kind of Zenos to me.
Like it sounds like, because he said they're not soldiers.
Nor warriors.
It's just like, what was it?
Murder made flesh.
Murder given flesh.
And they just want to make terror.
Like immediately, I was like, oh, hey, night lords.
Hmm.
I'm going to, we're really nice to the Nids fans.
So I'm going to say, it's got to be like some very specific hive fleet that comes
in and does some shit.
No.
I'm gonna go,
I guess it would be too soon
to do another Nid's episode.
It's literally like the episode after.
Yes, it would be a little too soon for Nids.
I was just,
I mean,
some Xenos thing that I don't know
about.
Or maybe, it can't be
Necron's.
Yeah, some Zeno shit.
I am shocked that you don't get this.
Think about
terror and murder.
Terror and murder.
Something chaos?
Oh my God.
What?
What is it?
Shire, are you also upset about this one right now?
I never get them.
I've gotten one out of like five.
Oh, she posted Travis Scott rubbing his head.
You've done fucked up.
Whatever.
He can go have a Travis.
It's the Drew Kari.
Oh.
Yeah.
Murder given flesh.
Yeah.
I'm going to bull.
I'm gonna bully you.
I'm real.
I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna go push you over
and take your lunch money, DK.
I can't believe.
I cannot believe.
Oh, no.
That is a Travis Scott forehead moment.
Oh,
that's almost a bricky forehead moment,
but it's not quite that big.
My forehead's not that big.
Not that big.
Oh, my,
okay, but we're doing,
we've talked about Jukari before.
We've talked about Jukari before.
So today we're doing similar
to what we did with the Ork episode.
So we talked about the clan cultures, we're talking about the various Drucari clans, which are known as obsessions.
So we're going to go a little bit deeper into the Jukari.
We're going to talk a little bit about the specific groups that inherit the, or not inherit, but are in the dark city of Kamara.
Or Kamarag, I don't really know.
I don't like to pronounce the GH because if Wa isn't pronounced that way, then Kamaraa.
Don't worry, the Drukari aren't sponsoring this episode.
You can say it wrong.
That's true. That's true.
But no, so actually, I did a lot of research.
I have three full pages of notes taken for this one.
Because last night I was doing some extra stuff and I was like, wait a minute, this kind of makes you want to start a Jakari army.
And I'm not going to because I have enough armies.
You say that.
I know.
But now everybody is going to bully you into getting a Dracari army.
It's really kind of cool.
I'm impressed with the.
I mean, I'm obviously our signature elf hater
And you are our signature ultramarine bullier
Yes indeed
And I don't know what shy hates, but she probably hates something
Everything that's not orcs is what she hates
Most things that aren't orcs
If it ain't green, she ain't hanging around it
She hates us
Yeah, there we go
You know, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair
But I was like I really like it when they have a lot of
Culture is one thing
But also a lot of intrigue in how they develop the the different characters and cults
And there's a lot more in here than I thought particularly in the the witch cults are really neat
So I want to talk about them
So a reminder for both you and our audience the Jukari are the dark Eldar
They are the ones that were the most hedonistic and Tate and
tainted by, well, they had their horrible, horrible ways of murder and dance and art and all that
stuff. And they centralized that in the large port city of Kamara in the webway, which is why
when Slaneh was birthed, they only got a pinky finger on that damn webway. And the only way
they stave off Slanesh is to do horrible, horrible, horrible Slanesh things. And that keeps her satiated.
And so they do not lose their soul to the one who, to she who thirsts.
Yep.
So these, the Drukarya are the ones that did not leave on like the Craft World ships.
Because Craft World Eldar were like, yo, you guys, too extreme, this is, we've really gone away too far.
Let's, I'm fucked this shit, I'm out.
Yes.
And the Dracari is sort of what's left over.
They still like doing all the hedonistic, lusty torture.
crazy nonsense.
Imagine you had New York City
and it was really going to shit
so a lot of people left New York City
those are the craft world Eldar
but then they someone bombed New York City
to the Stone Age but they completely
forgot to bomb the jail
and now and the jail
has broken free and is taking over
New York City. That's the Jukari.
Ah, okay. So they are indeed
the worst of the worst. They are the worst. They are
they are the most sadistic.
Now, one would say,
oh, they do these horrible things to save their lives,
which is true,
but to state that they don't like it is also incorrect.
They do very much like it.
Yeah.
So the Dracari operate almost entirely out of Kamara,
a place in the webway that includes insane three-dimensional spires,
complete lack of gravity
not all of areas
but in some areas it's completely like upside down
left right top down
it is in multiple dimensions
it is a labyrinth of a city
it is nearly impossible to navigate
unless you are a dark
like you need to be an Eldar for one
so that you have the mind to navigate it
and then you need to know the city
you know it's like trying to navigate
it's like trying to navigate like a major city in the U.S., like Boston,
without knowing where you're going without a map, and you're just like, I'm so lost.
You're like from a foreign country that doesn't have like a major metropolitan area.
It's just like this really suburban place.
And then you try and navigate like New York and the subway system.
Yeah, you just won't get it.
And you don't, and then you don't even speak English.
And you just like, oh, God.
It's like, oh, this is terrible.
That's also why Comerog hasn't really been like invaded or anything.
anything because it's like it's impossible how the fuck are you going to invade that you can't tell up
from down like you can invade it to an extent but since the majority of the dark elder are all
like even though the dark elders are a very small race compared their entire group is basically
situated in this one city so you are attacking this like an entire race and so while let's say
the imperium probably could if they dedicated enough resources wipe them out they
would then get murdered from every other section.
Tyrannids would invade, orcs would kill them, who knows.
It's too costly to wipe them out.
It's way too costly.
And also...
That's every faction, right?
The Imperium, if they really wanted to, could wipe out any one faction they wanted,
but if they did, it would leave them vulnerable to literally everything else
because of the catastrophic amount of casualties they'd take
and trying to wipe out that one race.
Not quite.
I would say they couldn't do it to or...
or tyrannids, not chaos either.
But like small races, like craft worlds,
which would probably get away from just trickery alone.
Or like Tao, definitely Tao.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But anyway, so Kamara as a city,
also known as the Dark City.
Now, these are basically akin to,
or they have three separate organizations
that take up the entirety of the city.
and they kind of flow with each other and together
because remember, Dukar, you're pirates.
That's the concept.
They have a port city and they, and their coin,
like there is money, but money is also weapons and slaves,
especially slaves.
Oh, slaves are a currency.
Yep, that sucks.
And it does suck.
And there are three major things.
there are the cabals, the cults, and the covens, all with a C.
Or, well, Cabal's a K, but...
I was going to say, I know Cabal's K, so you're wrong.
I am wrong.
Actually, pretty...
I'm so sorry, they all have a K in the beginning, whatever.
The cabals are a autonomous military group, and they kind of exist in three separate worlds.
They're kind of like a household of nobles, like a knight house.
and then they're also a pirate group
and simultaneously a criminal like cartel.
They're all three kind of combined into one.
It's one of those things I was actually curious about
when I was doing the research.
Like, how do I distinguish Drucari from Nightlords?
Because they have a very similar vibe, you know, murder and torture.
And the difference really is that the Dracari do it,
one for necessity, because they need slaves and they deal in slaves.
but they also do it as like an art form.
Like they're pirates, but they're also like they trade,
they have noble houses of like family and importance.
And the idea of murder and slave-taking and raiding
is just as much of a artistic vibe as it is a necessity.
Nightlords are scum.
Yeah.
They are gangers and prisoners and,
and they murder for the fun of it.
Which, don't get me wrong,
Dukari do too,
but it's a different kind of vibe.
So it's kind of like if a criminal syndicate
ran a town or a city,
that's kind of what the cabal are.
Because, you know, criminal syndicate has your sort of hierarchy
that has like this sort of,
I don't want to say noble feel to it,
but they've got like, you know, echelons.
Oh, no, they have a noble feel to it.
The cabal definitely have a noble feel to it.
They dress,
up, they have rank and status.
They're also your military organization.
They're your main source of military.
Okay.
So, for example, like a lot of the, they're the main highest upper tier of the
Kamara power structure and they're the primary military strength.
They are the main responsibility for the flow of slaves.
And most Drukhari want to join a cabal.
For the same reason that if you're in a prison, you want to join a gang as a safety
in numbers kind of concept.
Oh, okay.
Now, getting into these cabals is very, very, very, like, painful and difficult and requires a lot of testing and all that.
But even so, it's better, because if you're alone, you're dead meat in Kamara.
Oh, really?
So even if you're a dark, uh, Eldar or a Dracari and you're not in a cabal, chances are somebody's going to find you and shank you and just kill the shit out of you and torture you or turn you into a slave?
Oh, yeah.
You might get turned into a slave.
They like, they like Eldar's slaves as much as they like human slaves.
There's just more humans.
Oh, so they're actually like Dracari slaves.
Like, they don't, like, the Dracari don't really care if they have a Drucari slave.
Like, they'll absolutely enslave their own people.
Drucari believe in slave equality.
Oh.
Dracari believe in equal rights and also equal shackles.
Oh, boy.
Vote Chukari now.
Yeah.
Vote Dracari or else.
Vote Jukari or, or, or, you know,
wind up in the skinning pits.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess, well, when you said that they were, it's literally like if only the jail was left, yeah.
I mean, that's, that's that jail mentality of like you got to join a gang or you're dead.
Equal opportunity murder.
But for example, like, shy posted a picture.
That is a cabalite warrior, cabalite.
Now, as you can see on him, he's got all the spikes and stuff, but you can see the icon of his cabal.
both on his like loincloth thing and on his helmet.
Oh yeah.
So that's got, they have their very like, they have their ornate things.
He's got like a skull attached to him, I think.
I can see on his left side.
Oh, yeah, it looks like an orc skull, actually.
I think someone, I think there's an or an orc being shanked in the background.
And there's also an orconeathes.
Oh, shit, you're right.
I see the, uh, the checkerboard.
No, you're right, yeah.
Um, so the first cabal we'll be talking about is the cabal of the black heart.
And I'm not sure if you remember this well,
but you remember a certain gentleman known as Azdrabay.
vect?
Um, vaguely.
He was the guy who kind of took over the city.
He was like the head-hawn cell.
And he's a big bad douchebag?
He's a big bad douchebag.
Quote, quote, quote, I am the master.
I am the one who controls this place and much of the city around it.
I am the one to whom all bow.
I am the vanquisher of worlds, the destroyer of dreams, the creator of nightmares.
I am the pirate king, the renegade prince, I am all these things and more, for I am
Asdrabele Vect, and all the warriors of the black heart are mine to command.
Whoa.
So he is the...
Whole boy knows how to make an intro.
This is him introducing himself to his prisoners.
Whoa, what?
This is him introducing himself to his slaves.
He's like, you're going to know who I am.
You're going to know.
You're going to learn.
And people think I'm an edge lord.
And this guy exists.
Whoa.
Dude, his most popular quote is,
we are the Lords of Despair,
masters of terror,
dread and agony are our meat and wine,
and they are plentiful indeed.
He's such an asshole.
He shops at Hot Topic, 100%.
He doesn't shop at Hot Topic.
He owns Hot Topic.
He's CEO of the hottest topics.
He looks very cool, though.
That picture shows.
shy posted of him is dope.
Is that a, oh, that is a skeleton on his throne.
Okay.
Shai, do you have the image of him with his, like,
Princess Leia looking slaves?
Oh, my God, of course he does.
Of course he.
That's a very cool, I'm assuming that's the Blackheart logo.
Yeah, hence the heart is black, you know,
black heart.
The Black Heart.
Cabal, the Black Heart is actually not a particularly exciting Cabal.
It's mainly just like the Big Bad.
Oh, yeah.
I guess you can see him here.
This is the old mini, I think.
He's got like his slaves on this pimp chair.
That is some return of the Jedi shit right there.
I kind of hate that mini so much.
Is it because the Princess Leia's?
There it is.
There's the picture.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
What an absolute pimp lord.
That's such an old picture, too.
You can just tell by the art style that was done in like this.
fucking, I don't know, the 90s, 80s, early, in late 80s?
It's very old.
It's really dumb, too, but it's, it makes me laugh.
But the Black Heart, they're your very basic cabal.
And there is a lot to them, but the main idea is that they're the largest cabal.
They're the biggest, they run the most stuff, they have the most trade.
And Vect is such a bad man that they, no one will really touch him.
And everyone's too scared to touch him.
In fact, there are multiple, so the archon is the leader of a cabal.
But there are multiple archons in this cabal.
The thing is that a lot of these archons work together
because they all flow into Vect and the cabal, the black heart.
They hate each other, but none of them will ever murder each other
because if they do, Vect might get angry.
When you think of the nids, you think of the Swarm Lord,
when you think of the Orcs, you think of Gascol,
when you think of the Drukari, you think of Vect.
Gotcha, okay.
Now the next cabal I want to talk about.
is the cabal of the poisoned tongue.
There's actually a lot of cabals and colts,
but I'm mainly going to be rolling off the ones
that you can play in game,
because I feel like I really like this episode.
I really enjoyed this topic,
and I feel like we might get some Dukari fans out of it.
So I might as well pick the ones that they can do.
The poison tongue,
now this is a dual effect on a concept.
They are poison tongue because, one,
they're very good with poison weapons.
Now, the Jukari use poisoned weapons as a major source of their actual weaponry.
In game, it's actually interesting because no matter what you're shooting at,
you'll always wound them on a certain number because you're poisoning them.
So, you know, you might have a really bad strength, but because you're poisoning,
you're able to do, like, wound a big target on a certain number.
Oh, that sounds very helpful.
That sounds like it would make the, uh,
the poison tongue a popular choice among the Dracari.
It is.
Kamala, the black heart is probably the most ran.
But the poison tongue is pretty good.
And the affinity for poison weapons is a big part of it.
However, the other part of the poison tongue is an actual state on their speaking.
They are, they are insidious.
They, they, if, you know, if a jerkari tells you something, you should assume it's a lie.
Of course.
If a poison tongue person tells you something,
you don't know what the fuck it is.
It could be the truth,
but they could be saying the truth to fuck with you.
Like, you have no idea.
They are the most sharp-witted in terms of their,
like they have spies everywhere.
There is a poison-tong agent in every bar, in every arena.
There is someone everywhere.
And they are by far the most insidious
and whisperers of rumors and subterfuge and all.
that kind of stuff. And they are actually ran by a Archom, a female Archon, someone known as
Lady Arelia Malice. Malice as an M-A-L-Y-S. Of course, because you couldn't spell it like malice.
Because you couldn't spell it like malice. Yeah, you can't do that. That's two on the nose
spelling it like that. You got to add the Y to make sure, you know, hey, we, you know, it's not,
See, we switched it up.
She's known as the intellectual she devil,
which is a strange thing.
But they get a,
the poison tongue enjoys like a very high position
in the Comorog society,
or Comorite society, I guess is the term.
They have a ton of Trueborn.
If you remember, there's like true birthed Drucari
and like the rebirthed ones.
If you are trueborn, you're like much higher.
You're like a cut above, like a purebred.
And so you're a lot more fancy and important.
is also assumed that the only person,
that her ex-lover was Vect himself.
Oh, that's awkward.
It's a little awkward,
but the weird thing about her is that very often
when she's in her quarters alone,
people, like, they'll hear a second voice,
but she's always in there alone,
but she converses with a second person at all,
like, very often,
which is assume that she is kind of dealing with the
the supernatural a little bit
Oh, she's a ghost whisper
A little bit
People don't really know what the hell is up with her
She enters her room alone
And then she talks to a mysterious patron
And they can register only one sign of life
They can tell only one person is in that room
but she is talking with somebody else
and there is someone talking to her.
And we don't know why or how or where.
So it's not possible that she's like convening with like chaos or anything
because they'd be able to see that or figure that out.
She's just talking with the spirits?
We have no idea because psychic power while sometimes dabbled with
is a big no-no with the Jukari
because it invites Slanesh to get them.
Oh, that's fair.
Yeah, they probably would hate psychers and psychic stuff because, yeah, that, that would.
Also, that logo is so, that'd make a great tattoo.
The poison tongue.
Yeah, the snake with a little drip, that'd make a killer tattoo.
If you were like a big, like, you know, you're really into 40K, you're really into, like, rolling the poison tongue is your faction on the tabletop.
That'd be a sick tattoo to put on, like, your shoulder or something.
I would highly recommend we do not get a.
tattoo of the Drukari.
That's fair.
Or if you got like two of them facing each other,
like on your collarbone.
So like that, oh, that'd be, that'd be dope.
Shai posted that big thing and I just can't get over M-A-L-Y-S for malice.
Like, just spell it.
Just spell it the fucking way you want to spell it.
M-A-L-C-E.
Just spell it like malice.
We all get it.
You're not as clever as you think you are, 40K.
Jesus.
Were you, did you, were you just,
getting ready for our Jesus up there.
Jesus!
There it is.
Popping the bingo cards.
Yep, yeah, got to help the people out.
Next up is actually my favorite of all of the cabals.
This is the cabal of the obsidian rose.
Now, the obsidian rose is actually the,
they control the largest amount of weapons shops in the city of Comerog.
And they have a iron grip on the entire arms,
trade.
Not only is their logo super dope.
Oh, that is slick.
Also, another one that would be a great tattoo.
That would actually be a better.
And it's kind of minimalist too.
Because it probably wouldn't hurt as much because the spider tongue or the poison tongue,
depending on where you got it, would hurt like a bitch.
That's true.
But the Obsidian Rose, they have a total, like, death grip.
Like, I'm talking responsibilities cool, D.K.
but there's more things in life
like getting slaves all fucking night
yeah
yeah I gotta get that
I get that
death currancy
I got I gotta be honest
DK ever since I
ever since I lost my virginity
I couldn't be a death grips fan anymore
so you're still a death grips fan is what you're saying
very good
I'm proud of you my son
You've done well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Taking a bow, you can't see it, but I'm taking a bow.
You know, I've learned well from the meme masters here.
So the Obsidian Rose, these are like the major weapon smiths of Kamarag.
And anything with the Obsidian Rose logo on it, like that means quality.
That means like this is the best equipment that you could buy with either money or slaves.
They are immaculate.
Weapon crafting is a skill.
where perfection is not what they're strived for.
Perfection is the bare minimum.
Sometimes if a Kabbalite warrior is in battle and dares of the obsidian rose
dares to get their weapon hit by a blood splatter,
they are then hung on the racks where the slaves are placed due to their insolence.
Oh.
On the way back home, they are chained back to the front of their
of their stuff because how dare they sully a weapon of this magnitude?
Oh, boy.
These are artisans.
These are like sculptors of weaponry.
Damn.
So how many of their own have they killed for sullying one of these weapons?
Because like in combat, it's going to happen.
Right?
Like, there's no choice.
So, well, no.
No, Jukari.
These are Eldar.
They're as swift as the wind.
They are blurs of motion and hyper-intelligent.
I bet that if they are good enough, they could be dodging and keeping their weapons safe from blood in time.
Well, I suppose that's true.
The only time I can remember Eldar kind of getting body well that I've experienced so far.
It was in the Nightlord's book at the very end when they're fighting off all the Eldar.
And even then, the Eldar were dipping and dodging and weaving and, um,
They were not having an easy time killing the Draccar.
Those were the craft worlds.
Those were craft worlds too.
So, oh boy.
They were fighting howling, like howling banshees and stuff.
And also they didn't get bodied.
I mean, some of the guardians did, but those are guardians.
Their Archon is a total boss.
Her name is Astra Chromas.
And was she, so Archon Chromis,
she originally refused to bend her knee at the prior Arkhamis.
A guy named Archon Vloric.
And so what happened is that she was taken and thrown into these slave shops of their weapon shops to suffer something called death by Enu.
EnuI.
Oh.
Man, I wish.
Right?
But, no, the idea is that they put her to work doing monotonous tasks, assembling weapons.
day in and day out
over and over again
of just pure monotony
doing the most boring task
which to an Eldar
especially a hedonistic
Dracari is worse than death
like it becomes
the idea of putting one's like
putting a rod into a barrel
rod into a barrel for 10 hours a day
is worse than death in the sense
of like it's
pure monotony
and complete
what's it called?
Like, it's a waking nightmare for an Eldar.
Yeah.
But anyway, so eventually, she hatched a scheme.
And as she kept on building these weapons,
she started to kind of perfect her craft a little bit.
And what she would do is she would work tirelessly
to make better and better perfect weapons
until eventually she started rising in the ranks of,
and being promoted.
And soon eventually anything that had the seal of Chromus became this major like importance.
It was like, oh, this is a sign of quality.
This logo.
And as they kept on going up and up and up, she was eventually invited by the Archon, who totally forgot she even existed, to provide a tribute of her work.
And when she arrived, they all pulled out these fancy-pancy hidden weapons.
that they had stored and stashed,
these master-crafted,
like, hidden weaponry.
And just at this time,
all of the Archon's guards' weaponrys malfunctioned
because she made the bastards.
Oh, boy.
And so she had this long scheme
where all of the major weapons of the Archon were hers.
And so she, like,
had them all break at the same time
while she pulled out the hidden new weapons,
killed the bastard,
and then took over as the main archon.
Good for her.
Good for her.
That's a dope way to do it.
And now, as the perfectionist archon with the hard arms trade,
obsidian rose mark is a true full sign of quality,
whether it's a firearm or a blame.
And anyone who doesn't have any kind of imperfect workmanship
gets dealt with by her own personal pain engine,
which she calls the overseer.
Now, if you don't know what a Talos pain engine is,
I was about to ask what that was, yeah.
It's this fucker.
Oh, whoa, what is that?
I mean, obviously it's a pain engine, but holy shit.
Oh, here's something even cooler.
Bada Bing.
That is known as a Talos.
It is a homunculus.
I know it's the same name.
It's a homunculus pain engine of contorted flesh toxins and machinery used as like a slave.
Oh, did we vaguely talk about this in the Dracari episode?
It seems familiar now.
We did.
This is her own personal one called the overseer.
And if you didn't like Chromis enough, most of the time, whenever she oversees slave raids against
real space, she mainly
goes for Eldar slaves
because they have the
dexterity and the intrigue to put her weapons
to good use.
Ah, so she's looking for a worthy
opponent to use her very finely
crafted weapons for.
She doesn't want to just kill any little
maggot or any little bug.
She wants her weapons to be used
for a greater purpose.
So what's this?
Ricky's favorite cabal has an
has an archon whose main purpose is slaving other Eldar.
On brand.
On brand.
What's that you say?
Your favorite cabal also has an overseer named Talos
after your favorite Nightlord trilogy.
Hmm.
No, no.
It's all adding up.
The paint engine is called the overseer.
It's just the Jukari pain engines.
They can be called chronos or talos.
Oh, you're backpedaling.
Whatever.
Fuck you.
It all adds up.
It's all there.
You don't know nothing.
The numbers, Mason.
What do they mean?
The numbers, Mason.
Why can't you remember?
Let's talk about the cults, the witch cults.
Oh, boy.
Now, the witch cults are fun.
They are the, they're also known as the Hecatari.
In fact, in the tabletop, you can actually run the troops for each obsession, Cabals, Colts, and Covens.
And you can actually have an upgraded version.
So you can run Cabal Trueborn or you can run something called the Hecatari Blood Brides.
Oh, what a cool name.
They're super dope.
So the witch cults are second at command underneath the cabals.
And the cabals normally sponsor them.
And they serve as the main entertainment slash nourishment of Kamara.
Oh.
When you say nourishment, what exactly do you mean?
They're not like...
No, so the witch cults are gladiators.
They are sports.
They create shows and performances.
And the idea is that...
The concept is that the hedonistic, sadistic nature of the Dukari,
while killing in the streets is a thing that happens.
Too much killing in the streets for that lust of pain and murder would cause total collapse of society.
Sure.
So the idea is that these witch cults put on a show.
They are dancers and performers.
They are gladiators, but they do it as an art form.
And by doing so, they create like a coliseum.
and they invite the the cabals and the Dukari populace to go watch
and by them watching and seeing this agony and pain and murder
they leave like like with a full belly almost
they leave like with a glow like newly refreshed
okay so they get their fill of bloodlust and hedonism
and all that terrible stuff
but they also don't completely collapse the you know
their infrastructure.
So instead of cheering for a sports team,
they cheer for a blood bride?
For a witch cult.
Yeah, or the witches,
which are led by a succubis,
which is the head, like an archon for a cabal,
a succubis for a witch cult.
There's a little bit of like a,
like kind of a female
gossip girl kind of thing going to it
where, you know,
like you might say,
see in a TV show where they have
like the back room where all
the exotic dancers go to put on their makeup and they kind of
are a little conniving with each other. They have
like that kind of stereotype. Right, right, yeah, yeah.
There's a little bit of that here because
as Shai has shown you already,
the witches don't wear much.
Yeah, sure, yeah, it looks like
the bare minimum. But hey, man, their arms and legs
are well protected.
Well, the idea is that the, because
obviously the Dukari are very into.
sex. That's like part of it.
Everyone, a lot of people think that's the only thing. It's obviously not.
But it's part of it. So the witches dress like they're going to meet a lover.
And they utilize things like different kinds of blades.
They'll put like barb coils in their hair.
Or they'll have poisoned blades or sometimes just their fists.
They'll use spears and whips and razor nets.
They have flails and like knives in their in their boots.
Or sometimes they'll just dress very lightly and just use their hands.
And that's its own technique.
And so each cult, each witch cult, has their own dedicated Coliseum and arena.
Oh, well, good for them.
And each arena is like decorated and shows off their own level of prestige and value.
you.
That's cool.
So it's literally like a sports stadium.
It is literally a sports stadium, but they have their own way of decorating it and creating
their own concept.
So whenever witch cults are hired as to help with a raid, they really are there to help
increase the stock of slaves, but also to impress their succubis and to test their
dancing and murder skills to, therefore,
improve it in the Coliseum
to help the witch cult make more money.
Damn.
It's really cool, man.
It's super awesome.
That's it.
Yeah, they're dope.
Shai, do you have that image of that
witch cult lady who's like holding a
guy's head with her feet?
Oh.
She's like a contortionist.
I know of all things for me to say.
But it's a really,
in the concept of like them being
a, oh, I found it.
Oh.
It's not holding it with...
Deli Fendire would be so proud of you
for finding a picture.
There it is.
It's not holding it with its feet. It's actually
like, there we go.
Whoa.
That's actually
ironically, a very,
I'd say accurate
representation of a witchcult
because they're their contortionists,
they're dancers.
That is such a wild picture.
Like, because her leg is
completely backwards.
Mm-hmm.
That's wild.
Also, someone needs to Photoshop a picture of Doge Van Dyer just smiling happily where that guy's
head is, because you know.
Nothing to see here, Imperial, move along.
Yeah, I assure you, this is necessary for the greater good.
But so each witch cult, obviously, getting, oh, I have a quote.
Hey.
I've never seen anything move like.
that. Sergeant Hakemi is the fastest knife in the regiment. I've seen her hack open an
orc before it could blink, let alone raise a weapon. But even she said she couldn't track that
thing when it hit those Mortians down there, just flashes and blood, then screaming. I've never
seen her surprise before. Normally I'd stand toe to toe with my enemy and let my knife do the talking.
But right now, maybe I'm not so unhappy to be stuck up on this wall doing Century Duty.
a long knives, 22nd
company.
Damn.
So even the best
human guard
knife fighter
could not possibly
compare with an Eldar.
I mean,
generally yes.
You could always argue
for a super hardcore
catachin, 400
or 40 years of the service,
you know,
iron hand straking, you know,
with this big iron claw.
But when it comes to speed,
no way.
Yeah.
Now, Strachan might be like,
Stryker might be like,
I bet this bitch is gonna be over here.
Well, boom!
And then just fucking Decker in the face
because he got lucky.
And then just cave her skull in.
But naturally,
she's gonna just be like a blur.
You might not even see.
She's probably worse than a blur
because at least a blur you can kind of see.
Sounds like the Eldar just like,
you're not even gonna,
you're not even gonna see the blur.
Yeah, it's hard.
So these are like,
these are kind of this idea of a bunch of like, well, it's like, I think it's female and male,
but I think it's mostly female performers that are there to impress their succubes,
and that kind of shit on each other every so often.
But they want to, they are a performance art.
They take slaves or stock and they fight them in the gladiatorial arena,
and the looks of agony and pain and suffering feed the camaraderopopopulous,
and the more enjoyable the sport, the more they pay,
and the more this cult grows in strength.
Okay.
So it's pretty important to Comerog
that these arenas do well.
Yes, it is an increase in wealth.
It is entertainment.
For example, the first cult we'll talk about
is called the cult of strife.
This is the, like the cabal, the black heart,
it's the most influential cult in the city,
mainly due to the talents of a famous succubus known as Lelith Hesperax.
Now, Lilith Hesperax actually just recently got a new model
in a new kit.
She was actually in a Sisters and Droucari combo box.
But one thing I didn't mention is that the witch cults actually use combat drugs very often.
Of course they do.
They use a ton of performance enhancing drugs, things to increase their speed and strength and all that kind of stuff.
So it's, you know, it's like, it's literally like American sports.
Yeah.
A little bit.
I'd say the drugs are a lot more painful and strong, but you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, Leelith has been known to change the idea of a blood sport to a fine art.
she's gone from strength to sheer speed
and in the same time she doesn't use any combat drugs
and so because of that
seeing her fight brings in hundreds of thousands of spectators
that all pay premium high price for this thing
and makes her very rich
and they work a lot with the cabal of the black heart
and Lilith is admired by Vect himself
who is like, I can't wait to see her fight.
Let's go, boys, let's go lads.
He's got his big old booth and he's chilling,
looking down and he's like,
Vect, as much of a douchebag as he is,
he takes in the sports.
He enjoys his time.
He's like, it's like when you got that special booth
in a football game that Drake is chilling at, right?
Yeah, yeah, he's got the VIP suite
or like when the president shows up to a football game or something, right?
Exactly
And so
Vect him
So their arena is known as the crucible
And it is a
A big
Crucible
Crucible I know
Spell it the way you want
Man
It's the crucible
Also yeah
In that picture
She has posted
Lilith is the one
currently putting hands on
With that sister
Which as you can see
She's quite large
Yeah she actually is
She's like tall and slender
She doesn't seem like
super well I guess she is
she does she's got some
her arm look at her arm bro yeah she's got some guns
actually I mean damn
also okay
as much as I like my sisters
knowing Lilith that sister
holding her hand is so fucking dead
she is she is
gonna be meat and like it is
not even a challenge
but it's funny
there actually is a strategy and they have I think called
the crucible of malediction
is a very Drukari name
But in the cult of strife, like, Vect himself says that Leleth Hesprachs is one of the greatest treasures of the dark city.
Which is a pretty good statement.
Yeah, yeah, I'd be honest, I'd be surprised if they didn't fuck.
I mean, if you're Lelith, you're probably not going to turn down Vect.
I think she'd be like, yeah, bro, all right, give us some money, though.
Now, the next one we're going to talk about is a fun one.
This is of the cults.
This is my person, the one I like the most.
This is known as the cult of the cursed blade.
Now, in...
Oh, edgy name. I like it.
Now, in Kamaraa, a cursed blade is not actually referring to a cursed blade.
It is a slang.
The cursed blade is an individual or a group that will rebel against their masters.
Now, it is assumed that any archon that invites the witches
from the cult of the curse blade
into his group
is basically akin to suicide.
Oh, okay.
It's like those idiots
who go out and they're like,
I'm going to make friends with bears.
Okay, because you're going to get mauled.
You're going to get mauled.
You're going to get mauled.
If you invite the cursed blade witches
into your group, you are going to get stabbed in the back.
Treachery in its own right
is a form of prestige in the cursed blade cult.
Everything.
The ornaments on their body,
the harmless jewelry,
all hold weapons.
Oh.
Okay.
If you have a bracelet,
it might have poison in it.
If you have a ring,
it might have poison in it.
If you have a braid,
it might be bombs.
Really?
They have bombs in their braids?
They have,
they have bombs.
They have shoe bombs that they're bringing on.
They've got the things they put in their hair.
Their makeup might induce hallucinations.
Who fucking knows.
They might be like poison ivy and they blow the little compact and it's just poison?
Probably.
Treachery is their most important idea.
And so whenever everything on them is a death trap.
Everything around them is a death trap.
Having them around is in its own right
Not a good idea
Yeah, that that does not
Sound like a great
So like
Oh here it is
Real quick
This is a Kurtz of the Coles blade
Succibus only
It's called Traders Embrace
It's a pair of metal rods
They're sewn into the skin
At the moment of death
These rods cause there's bearers bones
To explode outwards
Rapidly growing into a jagged cage
Oh
Oh, Jesus.
Holy shit.
Oh, so when their succubus dies on a two-up, they take a D-6 mortal wounds after making their attacks.
Oh.
Yeah, it's...
Oh, boy, that's a, that's a lot.
In, actually, in the actual game, the cult of the cursed blade is the one I want to run the most because I think it's really, really dope.
Yeah.
But the cult of the cursed blade is actually,
their main shtick is that, well, they get extra strength,
but the main thing is that if you make a saving throw,
like I'm going to save, and it's from an attack,
on like a six, it actually just damage back to them.
Oh, that's, that's pretty nice.
So, um, are they just like the assassin cold?
Like, is that like, uh, yeah, I'm going to contact you
because I really need someone dead, but, uh, you're not,
you're not joining my group.
I'm just paying you to go fuck up somebody else.
Is that like kind of what their schick is?
Probably keep them in an arm's distance.
Probably more than an arm's distance.
Probably keep them in the other city.
Yeah, 10 foot pole.
Yes.
It is pretty nuts.
They're really cool though.
Also, they're basically like assassins that you hire when you really need somebody
killed?
Is that like kind of their stick?
Oh, no.
They're gladiators.
They're a witchcule.
In fact, they have a arena.
and it's called the Nexus Arena.
It's both an N-H for some reason.
And it's actually one of the most ornate.
It is one of the prettiest,
the most gorgeous,
the most gildedom.
The difference, though,
is that is a living death trap.
I was about to say,
if you go and visit this place,
are you, like, in mortal danger
because everything is booby-trapped?
Oh, actually, yes.
The Coliseeam will often shift and adjust
and if you're sitting in the stands,
you might be sitting on like a spike pit.
Oh, God.
Why?
So do a lot of people go, like, you said theirs was the most ornate.
Oh, is it because of like all of the potential added chaos and like, um, potential extra
death that you weren't expecting that it's like so much more exhilarating?
Think of it, think of it from a Drukari point of view.
The, the being so close to death.
Being sitting in the audience of the cult of the cursed blade at any point in time, you might be
slaughtered by the actual stage itself.
So for them, that's...
That's...
That's the premiere.
That's like, you pay extra for that.
That's like the pay per view.
You can't...
The real world danger is something
that the Jukari, they can't help but love it.
That's like the WrestleMania for them, right?
That's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's
the, that's the, that's the premier of the premiere.
It says, uh, since the opening of the great rift, the cult has launched, launched
many raids into Imperium Nihilis, both individually and alongside the Cabal the Black Heart.
They have not only preyed upon Imperial Worlds, but also defended them from chaos forces
to raise their spirits in order to make their final demise all the sweeter.
Wow.
They are, they're fuckers.
They are treacherous little bastards.
They are.
They are.
Can you imagine the gossip?
Oh.
No.
I cannot
Let's talk about the last cult
The cult of the red grief
So
Now what is the best defense
DK? Think about defense
The best defense is a good offense
Wrong, think again
The best defense is to literally not even be there
The best defense is to not be in the fight
Good call, that's fair
That is, yeah sure
Now imagine a flotilla
A flotilla of Drukari raid ships
Giant like Jabba the Hut
Raider skiffs
Venom skimmercraft
Imagine them moving at top speed
And them never getting off
But instead
Fighting you and jumping between
these skiffs like Mad Max style
Oh
Moving at top speed
that that sounds hardcore that sounds dope
um damn so wait they're just jumping between skiffs
the idea is that they never like they are constantly
moving at high speeds and then hopping between
transports and murdering like like literally the floor is lava
if you touch the ground that is either because you are going for a hard
fancy fancy kill or you're being left behind
oh okay oh that's
a cool looking skiff that
Shai just posted.
Look at that thing.
We had the name of that, but that thing is really cool, yeah.
That's so edgy too.
Like, good God.
Bunch of edge love the aesthetic.
So they are just a constant
moving flotilla.
And they are jumping between
and stabbing in the midair
and all that stuff.
Their Coliseum is literally
just called the pit.
The pit.
There is no floor.
It is a towering spire of transparent crystals, anti-graft platforms, skimmers.
So all the witches have, there's no floor, and they are just jumping and perilueting
and doing acrobatics across this entire spire of light and glass and crystal.
Whoa, that sounds like a show.
Do you remember a part in like
Enders game where they have like that anti-grave
Like
It's been a while since I've seen it's been a bit
Yeah it's been a while since I read the book
It's been a while since I seen the movie
I vaguely
Imagine that but Droucari
Okay
It sounds super cool
Like if out of all of these
Again I'm not a Drucari
I'm just a dorky human that sits in his little
You know internet case
this is the one I'd want to go watch
like that's the one that's like
just everybody's bouncing all over the place
on these crystal whatever's
and that sounds like a hell of a show
I think it's gonna be super
it's super different and super
and really fun
there's a lot of cool stuff to the rain
even if there's no killing that would be cool
that's like a fucking Cirque de Soleil show
there's actually a
there's an ability they have where they can
they jump out of their transport
and then they murder something
and then you can use a strategy
to put them right back in their transport
so it's that entire concept
where they fly in, murder, and fly back.
It's pretty cool.
It's pretty dope.
I like them.
They're cool.
So those are the witch cults.
Now let's talk about the homunculi covens.
Oh boy, hemunculi.
That's never good.
The covens are strictly involved
at being master torturers.
This is the deep, dark bowels of the Drukari.
These are the most awful.
The homunculus is sometimes homunculi are so old.
No one really knows how you become one
because they've actually sucked away
the life force of so many Drucari
to keep them alive for so long.
But sometimes they're so old
where even that won't work anymore.
So they don't have the beautiful appearance of Jukari anymore.
They are in fact, like old and gross.
How old are we talking here?
10,000s.
Wow.
Like maybe, like, oh, maybe some of even 10,000.
Thousands upon thousands.
So these could be like original Eldar.
Possibly.
They're incredibly old.
Wow.
And they believe that pain and torment is in its own right and art form.
I'm sure they do.
Whoa.
The pictures of them are really cool, though.
All their little spinny bits and poisons and needles.
Yeah, all these different arms that have like tools on them and syringes and they've got like those kind of long, flowy capes.
Oh, they're, they're hideously amazing.
They're very dope.
They're really cool and really bad boys.
It sounds like they're very bad boys, yeah.
The whole concept of them is body modifications,
a lot of flesh sculpting.
These are the people who turn you into a couch.
If you want to be living, breathing furniture,
they will do that to you.
They specialize in the concept that a canoe canvas of flesh.
It is a canvas.
It is an art form.
If you go down to the,
how monkey like covens.
That's like going down
into the voodoo
idea of like a pirate cave
where they can do things
for you but it's kind of sketchy
and out of price.
They can give you
barbed quills
on your shoulders.
They can give you
scales.
Poison spit.
They can give you a fourth eye,
a third eye.
They can give you an extra arm.
Like, pay the price
and they will give you
whatever you want.
Now,
It's going to hurt. Oh, yeah. Of course.
But they can modify your body if you want to become different.
So the homunculi in like Dr. Khari society are probably pretty popular.
And they're probably pretty like, because everybody probably wants a new modification that's going to make them more apt at killing and or torturing or whatever.
So they're probably pretty popular for Drukari. Like if you're a P-O-W, I'm sure the last thing.
you want to see as a homunculi, but if you're just like a trooper or a general, you probably
want to go visit them.
Like it might cost a lot and it might hurt, but in the long run, they're going to make you a savage.
That is absolutely the point.
They are often very rich.
I bet.
They're very wealthy for all that they can do.
In fact, they get so strange that they've been around for some.
so long that their obsessions are starting to get really bizarre.
Like some of them will only eat the left hands of victims.
And one of them, and I kid you not, this is literally verbatim in the wiki,
will only enjoy dining on the tears of children.
Oh, that's awful.
They will literally drink the tears of children because they find it sweeter.
They get very weird.
Oh, that's bad.
Oh, that's bad.
That's, I don't, that makes me feel uncomfortable.
Oh, I was going to ask, do the cursed blade frequent the homunculine maybe more than the other witch cults?
Because they seem like they have a lot of hidden gadgets and hidden doodads and poisonous this and poisonous that stuff.
So, like, did they visit the homunculi more than the other populace of Chakari?
I don't really know
I mean I would
So that's a
A theory that is generally
Is possible but I'm not quite sure myself
It's just because it sounded like the curse blade
Had a lot of hidden
Uh weapons and you know
A lot of different poisons and a lot of different places
So I kind of thought that maybe they had like a special arrangement with the homunculey or something
Possibly
I mean normally every cult and cabal has an arrangement with a homunculi
That's like their scientist kind of guy
Oh
But it all depends
So the first coming we want to talk about is the prophets of flesh.
This is ran by a man known as Urien Rackhartth.
Talked about Uri in a little bit before.
He might be one of the most sadistic fuchs in all of 40K.
That's a tall order.
I think he might be number one.
I think he might be the worst.
He's really up there.
Quote from himself,
I have long taken an interest in humans
and their crew dabbling in fleshcraft.
The adeptus Astardis are powerful warriors,
but their creators have always been too restricted in their vision.
This primark, Rabute Gilamim, accludes his mind to so many possibilities,
and as such will never achieve the perfection he seeks.
The perfection that I defy him through the practice of my craft.
If he wishes to learn from the master, let him come to me.
I will gladly make room for him in my grandest obliette.
Hmm
Well, sounds well
Or
Pain is the only universal
constant
Pain is all
It is the key to creation
And destruction both
Thus,
does he who masters pain
become a god
Urien Rackarth
An excerpt from his address
To his audience
Prior to the Melendrock Massacre
I was going to say
if your goal is to master pain,
then yeah, you're probably a pretty sadistic
fucker in 40K.
If your goal's like, yeah, I need to become
the master of pain. It's like, oh boy,
you definitely don't want to end up on his table.
He is a bad man.
So the Provets of Flesh are mainly,
now there's a group of people
in the Covens known as Racks.
Racks are like your basic troop.
These racks are branded,
tattooed, or altered,
depending on their homunculus's whim.
Now, if a rack will impress their master, they may have a said marked appendage cut off
and replaced with a bare brand new one from their flesh libraries.
And that's kind of the concept is that the more powerful they are, the better they do,
the fewer of their marked flesh is placed.
Hence the term prophets of flesh.
That is a rack that Shai just posted.
Whoa!
Holy shit!
Those things are crazy!
Racks are really nuts.
Yup!
I don't know the best way to describe them.
Just look at the picture if you're watching.
Yeah, those are hard to describe.
I don't know how to...
They're definitely like their basic troops,
but they're really tanky.
That's the idea for their look.
I don't really know exactly how to describe them.
But yeah, that's...
Racks.
They are edgy boys for sure.
That's...
Oh, my God.
But definitely more Frankenstein-y-looking,
motherfuckers. Oh, definitely.
You can see so many like stitches
all over their body and it's just
whoa. Yeah,
they're individuals that are
dissected and refashioned
into instruments of torture.
They are bodyguards or even assistance
and they have all those weaponry. Like they look like
a mini homunculus, you know?
That is the, if I was going into a battle
that is the last thing I'd want to see on
the opposite end of me.
It's like, yeah, just go, go fight it.
It's like, nope.
Fuck this shit, I'm
I disagree.
Wholeheartedly. I am outy.
They're pretty cool looking though.
The other coven is the dark creed.
Now these are probably the closest to night lords I can think of.
They're terror specialists.
However, they prefer the, they really like a different kind of higher level terror.
They love to watch their victims like freak the fuck out and will drive
captives to madness or suicide
just to show their superiority
over them.
Oof.
So they're the jump scare coven.
They believe that the
finest victory, the victory that
tastes the sweetest is
because murder is boring to them.
Oh.
They believe that the finest
victory is when
the opponent's heart stops
and they die immediately in
pure fear.
That is the finest victory.
Jeez.
That is very night lordsy.
It is.
Great to the night lords like their...
I was going to say the nightlords want to keep them alive for as long as possible,
so the suffering really endures.
Not quite.
The nightlies just want to cause the most fear,
and they just want to enjoy the murder.
That's true.
I guess Talos was doing that because he wanted to make the super scream.
Yeah, that was his own schick.
Yeah, yeah.
But the Dark Creed likes to perform their kills from a distance,
so they can see the death throws of their enemies from a distance and everyone can see it.
They also carry a ton of those pain engines that I told you earlier and they cover them in like trophies and people.
That's their main thing.
But one of my more fun ones I want to talk about.
The last one is the Coven.
I know.
Is the Coven of the 12.
Now, the Coven of them?
There are actually only 11.
but there are 12 seats.
The 12 seat is in case Yuri and Rackhart himself would ever want to join from an invitation.
Oh, okay.
But this coven considers themselves the most important practitioner of the dark arts.
And whenever a council member is to be replaced,
is it only if they've been removed so incredibly that there is no way they can be revived.
For example, one of the homunclei was actually pushed and contorted into a mirror dimension
the size of a coffin that is too small for his body and left there.
Oh, no, that's, oh, that's, that's, that's, that's pretty awful.
Uh, so he could never get back so that someone replaced him.
One was posed a curse and an impossible riddle.
and with each wrong answer
more of his body turned a stone
until he was nothing but a statue
Oh Jesus
How did that happen?
I don't know who gives a shit, it's cool
Oh, just some bullshit, okay
One of them was tricked into
In the banquet
Trinked into drinking a tyrannid bioassum
And was turned into a living
Sentient Liquid Soup
Oh
And was then replaced from
there. That's the worst one. Living sentient liquid soup because he drank at biomass acid?
That's a thing. He drank tyranid acid. And that, and so he, he, he, he, he, he, he technically
survived that now he's just sentient soup. Yep. Oh. He can't come back. I think I, I'd,
I think I'd rather be a sofa. Jesus Christ. Oh, man. Slurp, slurp. Slurp.
I'm, oh no, nope.
I don't, I don't like it.
I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it.
For, in the Covenant of the 12, a lot of their racks are actually flayed of all their skin
so that their raw nerves can experience the sensation of the world more.
Oh, boy.
By having their raw nervous system exposed to the world.
They can experience the, the wonders of the world more.
Oh, God, hell, that's so fun.
Holy shit. All right.
Cool.
You want to see my favorite piece of artwork for the Dukari Covens?
Yes, I do, I guess.
Here's a rack.
Look at this, dude.
Look at that.
Let's see.
Those poor guardsmen.
Whoa.
Wait, those are the 12 racks?
Those are just racks.
No, these are coming up to 12 because they still have their skin.
I was going to say, man, skin grew back.
but yeah, they're
Yeah, they're pretty nuts
I think I remember seeing a mini
of these racks and thinking they looked super dope
and I might want to paint them
Except I think the mini had a lot more like
tubes and shit going in their back
and they were painted up like all green
and it was very cool looking minis
That sounds almost like a paint engine
Maybe it was a paint engine
I don't know
Shai said this red one is from the Coven of
because he's red because he's skinned.
Because he has no skin.
No skin.
Like this is like a talus for example.
Those are the ones.
Those are the ones that I saw Shai that I thought looked really cool.
And I was like, oh, maybe I want to get into the Jukari
because look at how cool those minis are.
Oh, those racks.
Racks right now on the tabletop are really good.
Are they?
Yeah, they decided to nirf the Jukari
because cabals and witches were way too good.
But by doing so, they decided to buff the covens to make up for it.
but the covens were already kind of good,
and now the covens are fucking annihilating people.
They are crushing people.
So people are just running like all coven Dracari tabletop armies?
There is a thing where they are running like nine of the Kronos paint engines.
And they are just, they are just crushing people.
It is, they're just slaughtering people.
How soon till the covens and all that gets nerfed too?
Dude,
Dukari have been like top level since they've come out.
I feel bad for the Drukari fans
because they have been so good for so long,
people are sick of them,
including myself.
Didn't you get bodied by a Drucari at like a tournament or something?
Like you started 3 and O and then, uh-oh, Jukari.
Oh, no, actually that was the orcs,
but I did get bodied by Jukari before.
I have been bodied by Jukari.
It sounds like it's a pretty common thing
with how strong they are to get bodied by Jukari.
Like it's a right of,
passage if you're playing 40K is at some point at some point you got to get bodied by the
jukari um but yeah that's overall these are some of the covens cabals and cults that make up the
jukari like i can i can imagine just a really really cool person who has their own little
oc group they have their own witch cults they have their own gladiatorial arena that they can they
have their own like uh uh custom oc
please do not steal.
Oh yeah.
Idea for that.
I could see some really smart and interesting players making some cool stuff.
This is definitely just ripe for making like your own like custom creations and your own custom covens and cults and witch cults.
And yeah.
And I mean, the ones that already exist are super cool.
Repulsive and disgusting, certainly.
But man.
That, the aesthetic of these guys is dope.
Oh, I do want to mention real quick, there is another group called the Incubi.
Oh, like male succubuses.
Yes, they are actually blades for hire.
They look fucking cool, too.
I was going to say, Shai's just posted a picture one.
That's fucking sick.
That sword is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Yes, the Incubi are awesome.
They are generally, they are known as Blades for.
higher. Often people run
the cabal, the black heart because it's the only
one that gives rules to them because they are
under vect. But it's also
run by this guy known as
Drizhar.
Oh, that's, I remember Drusar, he's got
the Drizhar. You remember Zip?
Zip.
For example, this is
a clavex is the name of a leader of
Incubide. Quote, the blade
that I wield is an extension of myself
as I am an extension of my
blade. We both thirst for blood.
We both seek only murder
and only in death do we find purpose
in life.
Oh, what?
They are kind of, they are kind of
I studied the blade. They are kind of
while you were having
premarital sex.
I studied the blade.
I, I, I, the incubi
are cool. They might be my
favorites from this whole thing.
They're so cool.
Which is good because Dracari Incubi
on the tabletop not only
look amazing
oh fuck they do look
amazing
but they also
fuck. Jazar is
really really good
I love
that the sort of great sword that they use
where they have to like hold it in the middle too
those look so fucking cool
their swords are so cool
Ooh, Trezard definitely got that Drazip.
He's got some serious Drazip.
He do, though. He do.
Damn, they're so, yeah.
Incubi are the big winners of this episode for me.
For me, I was learning about the cults.
I like the cults a lot.
The cults are very cool, yeah.
Anywho, that appears to be it, my friend, any questions.
because we went through a long episode today.
We did.
It didn't feel long.
Like this was like an entertaining episode that it's like,
whoa, shit.
It's been an hour and 20 minutes.
Like, it just went by like a flash
because each one is super interesting.
Dracari are all kinds of fucked up,
but it's really cool.
Yeah, it's going to feel long for shy
because she has to edit our ramblings,
but who cares.
We're shy.
Where's that meme where it's like
D.K. and Bricky, die and shy
has to drink fungus beer because her life has gone to shit.
That's right. Yeah, put that meme up on the screen.
Yeah, good. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I want to get some, although the ink, I was about to say
I would like to get some incubi, but they kind of look like a pain in the ass to paint.
Especially the swords look kind of like a pain in the ass to paint a little bit.
Look a little hard.
But even so, I might get myself like a pack of witches and just paint them up, see what they, see how they go.
It's really fun.
It's really fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
And with that, thank you everyone for watching.
Make sure you get your daily dose of slaves.
Your daily dose of pain.
Vote Drukari.
They believe in torture equality.
By the by, the adeptist ridiculous does not condone the use of slaves, pain, or torture.
Um, just an FYI for any legal departments that may or may not be listening and or watching.
Speak for yourself, bitch.
