hammer and bolter where striking scorpions get outstealthed by a slow walking very loud walking coffin with guns.

As it should be. Being space elfs, striking scorpions are gehy. And not even ghey but fun like dark space elfs. Just ghey. Therefore a slow walking very loud walking coffin with guns is inherently superior.

Eh.. the very first Striking Scorpion Phoenix Lord, Arha... joined the Dark Eldar. The current one, Karandras, is not the first Striking Scorpion Phoenix Lord.

Striking Scorpion combat style is actually very very violent and cruel. It's actually the the most skilled close-combat Aspect Warrior. Not the Howling Banshees. Nope, the Striking Scorpion Aspect is the representation of Khaine's wrath. (Banshees instead are about Khaine's ability to cause fear. Remember, the "banshee" is defined in our current reality as a warning of bad things happening soon. And the screaming part is also another banshee horror-theme)

Anyways, Scorpions run around with chainswords. They have tiny blasters on the sides of their helmet that they use intense laser stings as in close combat. They use stealth to kill. And their armor is strong enough to stand up to bolter fire. (<- This is all actually from tabletop rules) Hell they even have SM-like HUDs.

One of the ritual weapons of the Striking Scorpions is.. a power fist with a shuriken catapult on it. (Talon of Horus, anybody?)

Yeah, even Eldar society, even amongst the Aspect Warriors, none are very interested in being a Striking Scorpion or even interact with one. They're literally the scariest, as they are the closest to being "dark side."

Tau aren't fish though. They are more like blue cows.

The connotation between Tau and Fish comes from the tabletop gaming tactic of Fire Warriors jumping out of Devilfish transports and shooting, because the Devilfish hovered above the ground and back in the day thus they could use the Devilfish as cover while shooting.

As an Alpha Strike.

"Fish of Fury"

It was pretty broken.

Oh, is that where it comes from? I know about the Fish of Fury tactic (because I started then) but I thought people called them that because they actually thought they were fish people. Who live on a desert planet. With hooves.
Kind of like how they think that Tau are commies or the Imperials are literally Hitler, because shitty inaccurate memes are more digestible than actually reading the codices.

Whereupon he stopped being merely ghey, and started being ghey and fun.

Yeah it was based on the transport name.

Well, I think.

I don't really remember or had looked into it (or maybe i forgot I looked into it)

BUT I simply remember what it was and how it annoyed the entirree community hahahah

tbh i like how some of the Dark Eldar and Eldar are coordinating. I don't think they've been bitter enemies, more like both went to their own method of sanctuary.

TBH have there been much Eldar on Eldar action? I've never really read any confrontations between the two.

Edit: That being said, Guilliman is being surprisingly reasonable too.

Can't wait til this reasonability falls apart.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah, the Dark Eldar and Eldar were never like the High Elves and Dark Elves, iirc.
They don't really like each other, but they will still side against any non-Eldar because they are still kin.
As opposed to High Elves and Dark Elves who outright hate each other.

I'm talking about the navigator fishwaifu Cassia ofc, who is like a Tau except its not heresy and xenophilia to fuck her. It's just a little gross.

Uncut fingernails 0/10

Uncut

Imagine how she wipes her ass with those.
Though she probably has a servant for that.
Or maybe she sells tickets to the procedure.
Maybe even to Tyranicon.

Not something I'm interested in, but her voice is such sheer, buttery pussy I am contemplating reaching out to the voice actress regarding future roles. I am assuming such is usually beneath her, but you never know.

Try telling her about your goals to fuck the industry in the ass. If that don't work, nothing will.

Shes a mutant but because her kind is pretty much necessary for the Imperium she is imperial nobility.
