Why dont normie eldar produce more eldar in vats like edgy dark eldar?

Chaos Space marines use clones all the time. For example Honsou is a clone from a mix of DNA from an IW apothecary named Honorable Soulaka and a Imperial Fists captain.

DE don't clone. Their Vatborne are just regular fetuses developed in a tank instead of staying in their mom.

That's neither another IF captain nor another Honorable Soulanka. So, no clone.

DE don't actually use cloning (cloning in 40k seems to be a bad idea, you can't clone a soul so clones usually end up mindless and the few times somebody has succeeded in making a clone with a functioning mind they still tend to be fucked up in some way or other). They just take an embryo and place it in an artificial womb, using their science to speed up the process so that you get a fully grown eldar after a few months.
As for why CWE don't use the technology, it might be something they simply don't have access to, having either been developed by the haemonculi or being an example of pre-Fall technology the CWE have lost by DE still retain. And even if they would have the technology, they might not use it for philosophical reasons, since CWE purposefully distance themselves from the kind of lifestyle that led to the Fall and live an aeschetic lifestly (compared to pre-Fall eldar anyway). Being able to grow children on an assembly line to avoid the hardships of pregnancy would seem like something the CWE would consider as an example of pre-Fall decadence.
And even if CWE were to use that kind of technology, it wouldn't remove the problem of spirit stones being difficult to acquire, which imposes a hard limit on their population growth rate.

If Honsou isn't a clone using pieces of DNA from both astartea, then what is he?

>you can't clone a soul
So would cloning a blank be more viable?

>Being able to grow children on an assembly line to avoid the hardships of pregnancy would seem like something the CWE would consider as an example of pre-Fall decadence.
That is fairly ironic since in Commoraugh a female Dark Eldar being able to carry a child to term without getting murdered is considered one of the most prestigious accomplishments possible

>wanting a drug addicted whore that kills people
I'd rather not, greater good and all.

>pic related will never be your waifu
Good. I like something more grabable than A-cup.

Eldar can be pregnant for years right? I imagine trusting another dark eldar to not kill you midcoitus to be very amusing for anyone watching.
I also what to know what they meant by hybrids.

This isn't how they look at all.

All eldar souls would normally go to Slaanesh when they die, with the exception of the Harlequins whose pact with the Laughting God means their souls go to him (except the Solitaire, who by taking the role of She Who Thirsts also forfeits his soul to her, but even then Cegorah occasionally manages to trick Slaanesh and snatch the Solitaire's soul to himself). Craftworld eldar and Exodites wear spirit stones that trap the soul of the wearer on the moment of their death, after which the soul may be moved from the stone to the craftworld's infinity circuit or the Exodites' world spirit, where it can hang out with other eldar souls, safe from Slaanesh.
Dark eldar simply don't plan on dying. Their soul is contantly drained by Slaanesh, but as long as they keep on feeding on the suffering of others they can replenish their souls and theoretically live forever. If they do die, the soul keeps clinging to the mortal remains for some time, allowing the Haemonculi to resurrect them if they act quick enough.

DE only see the "halfborn" as inferior because it's a status thing. There isn't any evidence that they're physically or mentally inferior to "trueborn" eldar, but being trueborn means you have rich parents, which means you're higher status than the common rabble and therefor better.
Because having your children grown in vats is so easy and cheap (Haemonculi seem to be doing it for free, probably because they'd run out of customers if DE would go extinct from constantly killing each other), having children the old fashioned way is seen as a sign of wealth and power since it shows you have enough money to do things in an expensive and complicated way rather than the cheap and easy way. Basically, getting pregnant is for DE what buying a luxury yatch is to billionaires; sure, it's a pretty terrible use of money logically speaking, but having one is an unmistakeable sign that you're rich as fuck and can throw millions into complete frivolosities.

That's Lelith, the only straight-edge wych. Well, at least untill the index xenos entry gave her the combat drugs rule, but I'm pretty sure that was just due to them pasting that rule to all wytch cult models. Fluffwise Lelith specifically doesn't use drugs because winners don't do drugs (and also they interfere with your senses and she wants to experience each fight without her mind clouded by drugs).

Technically their son

Is Honsu a fucked up monster because he's a designer baby or because he's a CSM, or both?
Because now I'm thinking about combined loyalist chapters/legions and how good/bad that idea is.
Thousand Sons + Space Wolfs = Worst Idea or Best Idea?
Also Space Marines can have two gay dads

Space marines have only one "parent", its their primarch, they are still born from vagina.

Still have dsl, and gue'vesa women are just like in my cantonese pornographic video games.

She's still a particularly murderous and sadistic member of a race known for being pure evil.

...

...

>melee tau
>not part of the enclaves

But Honolulu is genetically made a Space Marine from two gene-seeds, so technically he has two Primarchs as his "fathers"?
Double Demi-god Gay Dads is even better

>Are there more dark eldar than normal eldar?

No. 8th Edition Rulebook canonically and explicitly states most Eldar (Aeldari) are Craftworlders.

>Basically, getting pregnant is for DE what buying a luxury yatch is to billionaires; sure, it's a pretty terrible use of money logically speaking, but having one is an unmistakeable sign that you're rich as fuck and can throw millions into complete frivolosities.
So sticking pillows under your dress would be considered height of fashion for poorer DE women since it'd make you appear wealthier?

Well, yeah, because it'd be pointless - they've already pledged their souls to Slaanesh!

That seems rather odd since Commorragh is supposed to be to an Imperial hive world (with population in tens of billions) what a mountain is to a molehill, and craftworlds are generally mentioned to have very small populations (the Path of Eldar book lists Alatoic's one of the major carftworlds, population as low tens of millions, and Phil Kelly mentions in one WD article that small craftworlds have population of millions).The Iyanden supplement did give Iyanden's pupulation before getting 'Nidded as several billions, but it has been always mentioned to have been the largest and most populous craftworld before getting wrecked and losing most of its population.
I quess there's just a lot of craftworlds out there.

They're probably not at capacity, because of the murders. If you set up shop in New York then kill 3 million people with a big S&M party, there's gonna be a lot of empty apartments.

Given how fashion often works, probably. I'd expect a lot of fancy DE dresses to feature a sort of bustle-like device on the front. They probably should've given Yvraine one of those instead of a regular bustle, but that might've been too odd for people not extremely familiar with DE fluff.

But they aren't limited by normal reproduction methods unlike Craftworlders or even the Imperium which forbids clones. Dark Eldar could easily have ridiculous numbers like orks.

Having sex with another dark eldar is suicide, and most of then left to join Yvraine. And then daemons ate most of the remainder still.

But I just wrote that they don't need any sex to pump out more eldar

the dark eldar were the most numerous off all eldar of a long time, however its surprising how fast your population can plummet when a portal to space hell opens up in the middle of the most densely populated district of your nation, then another portal to the shadow realm opens up in that same district, then your dickbag leader locks all the doors out of the district because he's a dick, then a bunch of the survivors of the daemon/shadow monster mosh-pit decide they're sick of their leaders shit and join the nearest murdercult and leave the city, THEN the fastest means of re-population start complaining because they no longer have a monopoly on immortality

as a result the Deldar are no longer the most populous of the eldar

>not wanting to have extreme hedonistic torture sex with a female DE before waking up in a regrowth vat because your sex play was too extreme

Ya know, they probably do have crazy numbers like that, but I honestly (and this is pure supposition) that the majority of DEldar, like 95%, aren't interested in anything beyond the Dark City. The tabletop are the raider that bother to go out and get slaves, but it's like you don't need most of the population to make food for the rest, DEldar are good enough at getting slaves and other shit that most of them can just stay fuckin', suckin' and truckin' until all those daemons turned up. They literally are continuing the Pre-Fall lifestyle, just now with the added issue of Slaanesh eating their souls. They're still stealing suns, doing drugs and lazing about. They create kids when they want them, but mostly are immortal slobs watching the Big Game (professional murder) and gossiping (and unprofessional murder)

Or maybe it's just GW having no sense of scale

this too

Yes. A good amount of the blank assassins are clones. At least the males are, due to the fickleness of the gene.

Eh, if you don't mind your enemies being more bold in their attempts of to kill you. Being pregnant in DE culture is a weakness.

It's kind of a weird thing. Being pregnant obviously puts you at disadvantage, which in a culture where any sign of weakness can lead to your rivals pouncing on you because they see their chanse to dispose you can be extremely deadly. But because DE don't actually need to get pregnant and only do it if they want to (and know they can survive through it), it ends up being a sign of power; she's effectively saying "I'm so powerful I can afford to give myself a handicap and still have nothing to fear from you".

It's not really that weird. "I' m powerful/rich/awesome enough to act like a retard and get away with it" is a well established factor of real life fashion trends.

>"normie" Eldar

Dark Eldar VASTLY outnumber Craftworld and Exodite Eldar, because they live in the Webway and reproduce like rabbits by comparison as they aren't restricted by the acquisition of Soul Stones.

In addition, Dark Eldar also are the closest to "original" Eldar culture - all they did was turn the hedonism up to 11 to stave off Slaanesh eating their souls.

They are the normies, user.

>Chaos Astartes would not cross that line.

That can't be true

Just look at Abbadon

I would say it is because he's a Chaos Space Marine. Hell, even imperial space marines have stated that he has the makings of being a great imperial hero if he didn't get taken by the Iron Warriors.

Because nu-canon means they can fuck humans now, just like Yvraine and Girlyman do on the weekends over corpses of daemons.

>Dark Eldar VASTLY outnumber Craftworld and Exodite Eldar

No, they don't Craftworlders outnumber the Dark Eldar.

And wrong again. The Dark Eldar and their originators abandoned Eldar culture and tradition in the last 10 thousand years of their empire which a blink of an eye for the Eldar. For 60 million years, the original Eldar were more akin to craftworlders in their religiosity, traditions, and HAVING PSYCHIC POWER.

Dark Eldar fags tend to be retarded so you are forgiven.

I hate samefaces so much.

Yeah, but lore-breaking smut is okay.

Sauce?

>Why dont normie eldar produce more eldar in vats like edgy dark eldar?
Because they don't want to feed Slaanesh or give birth to children if they will be condemned to torture/murder/fuck hell forever when they die?

>Are there more dark eldar than normal eldar?
More "normal" eldar
Craftwords are void-born continents
DE have one city (albeit one that breaks traditional euclidean dimensions)

>pic related will never be your waifu
Fucking hell good
I would say all the things I would rather do than get my dick anywhere near a DE, but I realize she would probably do all manner of unpleasant things to me I cannot even begin to imagine as foreplay.

Nigger, what? The Craftworlders were quite literally the equivalent of crazy preppers that bought a container ship to live on so they could survive the apocalypse unharmed. Dark Eldar are way closer to the original Eldar in terms of culture, degeneracy and technology. The whole shtick of the Deldar is "NAH FUCK YOU WE DON'T CHANGE OUR WAYS", combined with fucked up shit out of necessity.

Nah, seriously, when is this cropped porn getting deleted?

Who's luckier, Brother Demetrius or Sister Purity?

While Harlequins get a new bucket, except for Solitaires, who hope their god can move another bucket underneath.

To be fair, you don't know for sure if there's anything lewd going on down below. It could simply be they're allied for the time being and the marine is inspecting the Eldar for any substantial wounds.

No, the Dark Eldar do not honour the Eldar pantheon, they are not psychic, and they do not value the old traditions of the Eldar like Necron hunting.

The hedonist Eldar are a relatively new thing to come to Eldar having come to be a thing in just 20L years of Eldar history.

>you don't know for sure if there's anything lewd going on down below
You are either the most retarded or most pure user on this board.

So the Dark Eldar behave like the Eldar Empire did for the era before the fall. When Eldar culture was one of excess, pleasure cults, and revelling in the fact that the eldar were the top dogs. It had been that way for close to 50 million years, the vast majority of the Eldars Existence
Face it, compared to the Eldar Empire, Craftworlders are crazy preppers, while the Dark Eldar are still the same, except they have slaves carry things over to them, rather than levitate it with their minds.

Why aren't DE psychic, anyway? That seems like a very strange racial trait to loose.

are you triggered

They stopped using it to halt the deterioration of their souls when Slaanesh was still a big threat. Their psychic abilities stopped working after a while, since no-one was using it, so it eventually got bred out or withered away like a muscle not being used.

Their psychic abilities is what enable them to feed of others souls. They didnt lost it they change the way they use it.

Aw, did your mom walk in on you looking at it?

>It had been that way for close to 50 million years, the vast majority of the Eldars Existence

No, it wasn't. We have the timeline. The Cults rose in like 20M.

No, the lore says they are inert psychically.

Some fluff, like the Path of DE books, mention that their psychic abilities have turned inwards to preserve them from Slaanesh's soul-draining. So they might still be latent psychics like other Eldar, but unable to manifets powers since their psychic ability consists of keeping their soul attached to the body, even after death. The ability to feed on souls of others is probably also psychic. You'll never get DE actually manifesting psychic powers and throwing around mind-bullets, though.

>xeno abomination
Just daily remember that thing is basically a lich with a glamour facade. An "undead" abomination which refuses to die, whose true form puts any warp-spawn to shame.

>aliens

Guys, help me. I'm constructing a magical realm here.

Please mods, show me that you are here and do your job by deleting pornography.

How magical realm do you want?
In an effort to mimic pregnancy, they take drugs to induce lactation, so they are constantly leaking

Reminder that Dark Eldar do have a lot of human hybrids given they are sick fucks, which helps with their numbers and also helps explain why Yvraine wasn't more apprehensive about holy matrimony with a mon'keigh.
only half of this post is memes

You would not say that if the pics weren't human x eldar.

I report a lot of things like everyone else that browses this site and cares at least a little about its quality, but I'm not in every thread.

They do, when it's actually porn.

Need a hug and a safe space? Maybe some warm tea and a blanket?

They didn't lose their psychic abilities, they simply stopped using it in any way that would attract the attention of Slaanesh.

Think of it like this: if psychic power = paint brush, then DE still have their pain brush, they are simply painting a different picture.

Honestly, the clothing basis is weak sauce. They have to have the capacity to induce a permanent false pregnancy thing going and more, using future science.

Then, because they're Dark Eldar, and are basically 'supernormal stimuation: the culture' the appearance of a conventional pregnancy will quickly become unimpressive, even if it's an actual pregnancy, and we'll have bloated, gravid monstrosities beyond what their anatomy should be capable of.

Dont eldar require sex multiple times before they conceive, instead of just 1 time sex? How can dark eldar fuck the same person multiple times without some kind of backstabbing happening?

Why do you think Trueborn are such a huge fucking deal?

>DE have one city
Technically it is a bunch of smaller port cities that owe loyalty to a central city and Vect.

Because of the aforementioned pregnancy and vulnerability issue. That already costs a lot of effort since you have to have the guile and money to keep assassins of your pregnant ass. But if you consider the difficulty of conceiving with it it becomes even more difficult.
You would have to kidnap some high ranking dark eldar male (you wouldnt bother carrying some lowly DE his child of course), chain him in your dungeon so you can rape him for an extended period of time to conceive, meanwhile you also have to feed him suffering to prevent his soul from getting eaten by slaneesh. And THEN you still have to carry the burden of pregnancy. If you kill the prisoner his associates will probably try to kill you as warning not to fuck with them, if you let him go he will probably try to steal the kid since his trueborn child is a mighty trophy.

I dont think they considered the extend of this. The only other option I could think of is that two dark eldar decide to fuck eachother for a while and then they agree to totally wont start backstabbing eachother as soon as the kid is born which of course they will.

I bet Dark Eldar never have sex in anything other than the missionary position.
Which Dark Eldar would willingly show their back to another to do doggy style?

Well the child is usually spoiled like crazy. Maybe the DEldar who conceived them are killing each other over custody.

Human slaves don't backstab you.

I heard they hold eachothers hands to prevent any strangulation, they lock their legs to prevent their partner from grabbing a weapon, they have deep kisses to make sure they cant bite without biting their own tongue.

They also don't give you purebred trueborn. Just filthy hybrids.

Or one parents just abducts him and hides him.
