A Phoenix Lord is one of the greatest warriors of the Craftworld Aeldari and the leaders of one of their particular types of Aspect Warriors.
Each Phoenix Lord founded one of the Aspect Shrines of the Asuryani, and is the embodiment of that aspect of the Aeldari War God Khaine.
They have transcended the bounds of normal mortality, in a fashion. The spirit of the original Phoenix Lords was infused into a Spirit Stone within their armour, and merges with the current personality of the wearer of that armour, who is always chosen from among the mightiest of the Exarchs of that particular Aspect Shrine.
When the Phoenix Lord falls in combat, another Exarch will don the armour and assume the memories and abilities of the Phoenix Lord.

No you guys got Ra wrong, he 100% is rolling into the warp in nothing but his suit
he also personally shot every single tyanid in a hive fleet to death with his gun
You guys can get fucked
Bricky is incorrect about a Phoenix Lords heavy list having no Psykers. You can still run Warlocks. They're Elites now. Admittedly, you're digging into slots you'd need for the Aspect Warriors. But you COULD do it.
EDIT: You can also run a Wraithseer. That is also a Psyker.
I don’t know, from the way you described it, it sounds like Asurmen and Jainzar are more ‘grizzled old warrior and young adopted child’ trope.
I've never watched Naruto so I got fucking lost a few times.
59:20 thanks, Shy
"Does Jaen Za have a body" dude in Voidstalker she literally takes off her helmet. They talk about her flowing red hair and slanted eyes, one of which looks directly at someone after spoiler redacted by order of the Inquisition
I didnt know this was an anime podcast, I thought this was about warhammer 40k
The fastest Eldar we read about is the Solitaire. One of them, at least. That son of a gun was flash-killing Chaos space marines and slowed down just enough for their lord to see him bow as he was dying. It´s a space elf murderclown cultist LARPing as Slaanesh so you know it´s gonna be crazy stuff.
Also, it´s good I wasn´t drinking anything when I heard the "dire avengers are not the greatest", I have no idea how they didn´t get nerfed, they pump out a disgusting amount of firepower.. Asurmen seems okay, but not outstanding for his points. Yes, he is scary in melee, but he costs a bit more than Jain-Zar or Karandrhas and doesn´t have a lot of trick abilities. Both of the other ones have horde-clearing attacks, plus Jain-Z is blisteringly fast (advance and charge) and makes any unit in contact with her strike last and lose 1 attack, while Karandhras pops up out of nowhere and can get bonus attacks. Baharroth is, well, Baharroth.
If you theoretically collected all of the spirit stones of the Phoenix Lords and then placed them into a wraith construct or armor would you just get a resurrected Kaela Mensha Khaine? I mean aren't they aspects of him singled out into a facet of engaing in warfare?
The Drukhari are much more demented and corrupt than the Pre-Fall Eldar civilization…though, they were still bad enough to create Slaanesh. The Drukhari are now on a level that Slaanesh is willing to make a deal with them to stave off their withering with the pain and souls of others and that only took around 10,000 years to do versus the millions of years the Eldar have existed; they are the worst their species has ever been and still keep pushing the bar lower just for the hell of it.
my 70 year old dad has better immune system than Bricky. No joke.
Demon mommy Poster come to meeeeee
…huh, Flame of Recca maybe?
I hope someone at least seen the comments I've posted but were deleted 😆
''He's clad in Azure'' – Well done, DK.
Exodites, The weirdos who go to Alaska or mountainous regions to rough it. At least they don't go full Amish. I think.
12:09 Classic and classy reference.
Current "Surviving" Eldar gods are Cegorach (free and intact, leading his followers), Isha (prisoner of Nurgle), Khaine (angrily vibrating shrapnel of his former self), and Ynnead (shrug).
In fairness, recycling part of the kind god's name is a lot more of a tolerable lazy than the repetition of Ultra, Wolf, and every existing famous Mongolian name.
Poor Jain. Glad it got better, and I called her being the wild child.
Asurman really is the Guiliman of the Phoenix lords (relative power aside). Blue, depressed, the generalist, the best long term leader, and had a pair of belt fed gauntlet guns.
Karandras to to Ahra: "How are you still standing!?"
"Hate! Hate and drugs! Lovely, Lovely drugs!"
DK is a classier Weeb than I realized with him not getting into Naruto.
Kar being more emotional and nomadic tracks. He is a Junior Phoenix lord, taking up the mantle with a break of continuity. The being apologetic tracks with the guilt of failing to end the sins of the father. As for being nomadic, he is on a quest to destroy his fallen mentor, and he's more likely to find him on the move, or his guilt makes settling down hard.
Maguan Ra, the kind of guy who needs to introduced with a heavy metal leitmotif and lightning flash on a dark night.
Yeah, GW will inevitably write more about marines and Guard than anything else, especially when it lets them avoid telling a cooler story.
Ahra was further out than Maugan in the end, but friend turned enemy is a common enough trope.
Not a sniper scythe, a heavy machine gun scythe. There is a very key difference. Especially since he still intends to be a scalpel at range while going full rock and roll with an Eldar HMG.
Wait, are you really going to leave out the saga of his weapon's forging? How he made the thing himself with drukari-adjacent Eldar witch souls forced into soul stones to forge the ammo, and the blade was quenched in the heart blood of an Avatar of Khaine?
I thought it was more he saw a glimpse of his ancient home before heading in.
Yeah, even if these Eldar retain their full autonomy and agency, there are things not even Eldary should wish to know, and what's under the helms of the people of Altansar….. that's probably one of them. They have remained loyal to their kind and fought hard, but doubt is a hard thing to kill, especially when it may be validated.
So you are skipping the Saga of Maugetar! BOOOOOO!
4:16 Imagining this thing recreated by Maugan Ra and Baharoth is hilarious.
I mean, I'd assume Karandras is the youngest. Or if not, he still sees himself as a junior to the rest.
CAS is inspiring. Seeing an ally swoop low and silence the enemy is a major morale boost IRL to this day.
Sadly the wiki I'm looking at has VERY little to say about beaky's wargear. Heck, his rifle is listed as the standard issue version of his temple.
Ilrillyth has a story though. His armor was long lost, leaving his singular shrine to wither, but when it was discovered that the armor lay upon an Imperial world of ice and snow, the Shadow Specters mounted a massive rescue operation with what members and pull they still had. They used subterfuge, tactics, and numbers to get that armor back after it had been though lost.
Cavalry dude doesn't have a story? If I indicated surprise. I'd be lying. Still disappointed that there's not even a tale of how he came under Asurman's tutelage and protection, but bike boy with laser lance just doesn't move me.
I imagine that Fuegan and Maugan got along well, unless the difference of range in their doctrine was too much of a sticking point.
While the metaphor/literal spit makes my head burn, the idea of forging a leash for a dragon through your enemies' deaths is certainly metal enough for 40k.
Still sad from when I read about Heldrakes. It's a daemon engine dragon, and it's only got one antipersonnel weapon. COME ON! This is a freaking dragon, in 40k, that is also a daemonic robot/fighter jet!
Fuegan will be the final one to fall? Interesting.
GW needs theirr epic scale to be revived so you have have all the Aspects in one army for a big rumble.
There's a bit in the Jain Zar book where a Drukhari Archon basically asks if she wants to fuck and she's like "I am a suit of armor. That is not going to work."
The Imperium absolutely would be on board with helping out the Eldar to destroy themselves along with Chaos, if they believed that to be the case. But, their stance toward the Eldar has basically been, "Whatever they try to do, stop it. Whatever they say, don't listen, they're lying. Fuck the xenos." That might change a bit due to the Eldar's involvement in resurrecting Guilliman, but it's caused major problems up till now for the Eldar. In particular, if you guys do an episode on the Ynnari, you should talk about how they would have already been able to fully awaken Ynnead if the Deathwatch hadn't showed up and screwed up Eldrad's ritual.
Bloodletterette?
The Asur bit made me think of "Christian, a practicing Christian, celebrated Christmas…"
It's good to see Bricky is free from Nurgle's embrace, and it's also amusing to find out for a brief period he was a young weeblet. Alas, I would say Fairy Tail is a better fit for the Phoenix Lords anime parallel. Not perfect, but you have actual magic going on
The whole phoenix lord immortality is kinda cool, as if they are killed, a aspect warrior of that phoenix lord will where the phoenix lord’s armor and the soul of the phoenix lord would posses the aspect warrior
I hope they eventually make lord of War versions of the pheonix lord. Like a powered up super version on the pheonix lords. Feugan riding Dragon, etc. Idk how the others would be scaled up, but basically seeing each of them powered up to the maximum. Just full super sayan on the Tabletop. Maybe just a version of some of the pheonix lords with a literal temple from which they just keep respawning out of by sacrificing a matching aspect warrior.
The Asuras were Iranian gods, and considered demons in Hindu culture. In turn, their gods (Devas) are demons in the former's. Anyway, GW being 'original' again. Also, I'm certain 'Drukhari' is just a bastardisation of 'drug addicts'
Sadly the Phoenix Lords don't get enough love just like all Eldar characters.
The thing that annoys me is that Phoenix Lords are supposed to be that eldar answer to Primarchs ie 10 special boys of the faction, but then they're extremely nerfed to the point that one of them appears as throwaway unit in Dawn Of War III… a game that never existed.
As a Granblue player, i do love Magisa
ITS AZURE NOT ASJUR!!!! AAAAAAAGGGGHHHH
Me hearing about Asur: "Me my son or the planet?"
If the Sword of Asur has the ability to perma-kill demons and assumedly similar beings, what would happen if it were to kill someone like Saint Celestine?
Fugen was an elf… maybe he was a dragon elf… maybe… maybe he was just a dragon. But he's still FUUUUGEEEEEEEN
And with this installment Bricky begins to think.
"Hm.. I sure do hate Eldar but IF I were to play them, how would I do it"
At first its just skimming the codex, looking for this that stands out.
Then he will get wrapped up in it and go deeper and deeper into cool Eldar comes.
Then he will realise how much youtube-money he could make from videos about what he WOULD do.
Then it becomes a (or several) videos on he did it for the lulz.
Then he takes them to a RTT.
Before we know it, its LVO 2024 Eldar edition video!
Human: Is it a metaphorical dragon or a literal dragon?
Eldar: Yes.
When are we getting the lady of skulls
there is a certain level of irony, in talking "if you don't understand any of X, you aren't a loser" when you are literally making a 40k lore channel, that for many also is not a "chad" hobby.
DK liking Haku is just the testament of him being an average Thousand Sons Femboy enjoyer 👌
The eldar has such cool lore
THESe guys denied majorkill a collab with them since he's too * age restricted* for them. Fr sad day
I love eldar but hate how you single out other channels. Keeping it all to yourself, at least majorkill does that accordingly. But could also because he's australian. XD
56:09 vulcan on a dragon with a rule simalar to angron to return to table would be awsome
Honestly dk you were talking about the egg terminator the squats had and honestly if you see a well painted one in person there pretty cool actually.
OOF that bloody poster man…wow. o.O
when will the thousond sons vid will come out?
Can’t wait for Pedro Pascal to play Azurman in the fall of the Eldar Amazon series
I need that flag for my wall.
40:55 Just imo, the Phoenix Lords should be at least close to Primarch level. GW writers of course usually are stupid idiots that have no clue what they're doing(see: Avatars of Khaine), so of course they don't really show that, but I just know that that's how it should be.
Bricky, play total war warhammer 😉 you will get more familiar with the pronounciation of the eldar names.
