How feasible would it be for an Eldar to infiltrate a and imperial world, let say that a hive world for this example, and start form a cult around himself by charming humans into his servants?

Keep in mind that the eldar :
>are beautiful beyond compare by human standards, and project an "alien allure" regardless of their sex.
>possess technology that seems like magic to imperials
>non DE Eldar possess actual fucking magic because they are potent psykers
>are extremely long lived, basically immortal by human standards anyways.
>look human enough that they could sneak around without being immediately noticed for aliens, thus allowing them to operate semi openly.

An Eldar, should he/she wish, could just start charming humans into following him/her, and build an army of devoted followers who utterly love their master, and/or bribe stronger willed and influential humans to his/her side, with basically magic technology, weaponry etc.
An Eldar could potentially just DIO it up in the imperial underworld for centuries, without anyone noticing.
Given the cultures of the various eldar, though, this sort of shit would seem to be more in the Deldar alley.

This idea came up in the Genestealer cult thread, and I thought that it is interesting enough premise for it's own thread.

What do you guys think?

I don't think that it is beyond Eldar capacity to move like a human. Their natural movements are seen as inhuman because of their speed, grace and precision, which seem like things an Eldar could tone down should he will it.
He could simply just walk like a drunken eldar, to imitate humans.

Even if the eldar looked that much different from humans, they could probably just disguise themselves well enough with tech/magic. Fuck, if genestealer hybrids can pass for human despite their weird fucking heads I'm sure an eldar can manage.

The real question is why would an eldar want to be surrounded by a cult of humans? That'd be like if a supermodel moved out to Borneo to start a cult of chimpanzees. What's the eldar's ulterior motive?
>>
>>49595828
An Eldar could be stranded on some imperial world with no means for communicating with oder Eldar or transportation and maybe thinks to make the best out of this situation.

I think there was a short story with this scenario that OP was asking for, but I can't remember the name.

Can't really see why a Craftworld Eldar would bother unless forced into a situation where such actions became necessary, but for Deldar, it could be an relatively ez way of gaining basically limitless supply of slaves to feed on, with no other Deldar competing for your shit, or planning to murder you.

Think about how harsh life is in Commoragh. Other deldar are constantly trying to backstab you and steal your shit, you need to partake in life threatening raids if you want to get a decent amount of Slaves, and you also need to deal with the politics between the kabals, wytch cults and Haemonculi covens.
Living like a king in the imperial underworld, could potentially be better for a Deldar than living in Commoragh, should one be able to pull the situation in the OP off.

Your run of the mill Eldar probably couldn't do that, but a Kabalite prince/Dracon/Whatever, could perhaps be able to, for example, steal a portable webway portal, and just vanish from the Dark City, and arrive to some Imperial Hive World.
There, he could infiltrate the lower levels of the hive (which are ez mode in comparison to Commoragh), charm some humans into his devoted servants with his beauty and allure, as well as promises of wondrous technologies etc. He could then use those humans to form a cult, which would start supplying him with sacrifices which to feed on.

The only real problem for the Deldar would be the fact that their thrist becomes greater in realspace, but seeing how characters like the Duke Sliscus spend tons of time pirating in real space, the thrist can't be too bad in the real space.

Disguise self as old woman. Whenever seen in public be hunched over and have your face covered with a hood/holo-mask.

People might suspect a graceful amazon with a massive following as being a hidden eldar, but who's going to suspect the local wise-woman of being anything besides senile?

Not really. I know that almost no one takes this as canon but in the RT line of games Eldar past at a distnce or in poor lighting human but up close they take a -20% to a test to past themselves as human. Their heads and faces are not shaped right, their arms are a touch to long, etc.

Eldar project a sense of "alien allure" to humans, regardless of either one's sex.

Biomancy and a debatable degree of psychic influence. IIRC one of the BL novels mention a moment where Malcador gets a glimpse of the Emperor behind his constantly projected image and sees a wirey old brown man, but it isn't clear if that's literally the Emperor's physical form or if it's more of a self-image deal.

I think it could be argued, that since before Slaanesh the eldars where a very decadent hedonistic empire they modified themselves to be very infertile and hence enjoy more sex without consequences, and now, they don't know how to fix it or don't really care(the deldar webway is overcrowed as it is and they have some very political things to do that are much more important).

Problem is that they are beautiful to uncanny valley levels.

They also have certain animalistic elements (like more predatory eyes), yet a lot of people tend to forget that part.
>>
>>49596342
The problem with Dark Eldar, or Craftworld Eldar birth rates has nothing to do with "low fertility".
In fact, Deldar got no problems with birth rates at all. They conceive children just fine. The problem is carrying them to term in the dangerous environment Commoragh is. They get around that by having haemonculi take those babby embryos out of their mommies, and speed grow them into the Half Born eldar, which form the wast majority of Deldar population.

Craftworlders on the other hand, are limited by the availability of Soul Stones, which are only found in Crone Worlds in the Eye of Terror.
No Craftworlder parent would want to have a child if they don't have a soulstone for it.

Again, Eldar are not limited by "low fertility". They are limited by other things.

They definitely need a faction of Ironman mode eldar. No savescumming. Git gud or die and meet Slaanesh.

Except the delicious pain they excrete when tortured.
Deldar nourish their souls on that pain.

>>49596602
That's Dark Eldar m8.
They don't use soulstones, and when they die (for good), they go straight to Slaanehs.
That's why Deldar have gotten good at cheating death.
They can come back from just a severed hand, if they have made the right contracts with the Haemonculi.

That doesn't apply to most Deldar though, as wast majority of the Dark Eldar are just mooks and half born dupes. The Kabals, Wytch cults, and Haemonculi covens form the top of the Deldar Societal hierarchy in terms of power and influence.

The other problem they face is that it's super dull to live like that and that if they die in that situation, they die for good. They have nothing to fight for, no real joy from life and what agonies they could feed from would be pale and watery next to their usual repast.

No decent drugs, no one to fuck besides the smelly monkeys, no thrilling hunts or races, no wych cult spectacles, no reason to exist beyond existing.

While I'm on the subject of thinking about how unlikely this all is, Op has assumed that Eldar would be able to trade advanced technology but Eldar technology is impossible to replicate, doesn't always function for non Eldar, is a serious crime to possess and the Eldar in question probably doesn't even know how to make the stuff.

Aside from collectors or rogue AdMech types, no one is going to want an endless stream of Eldar junk, it's not all that useful. What technology can an Eldar even give away to humans that is good enough to set them up as a cult leader? Half that shit is grown from wraithbone, the other half is churned out by slaves and the average Eldar has no idea how to build it themselves.

There's already a shitload of diversity in human appearance just on earth. Compare a northern european to an east asian to an aborigine.

Now take trillions and trillions of humans, on millions of worlds, many with wildy different environments, and give them tens of thousand of years to genetically drift. By the time of 40k, Homo Sapiens is going to be all over the place size & appearance wise. An Eldar isnt going to be that strange looking in the range of human biodiversity. At least until it moves...

The way they move is often the stated reason for eldar pushing into the uncanny valley. But if it makes a point to "act human" and not move & react too fast or too slow & smooth, it can probably pass as an offworlder if the humans around arent familiar w Eldar.

Yeah it's vaguely possible.

Feasible that a Dank Eldar would do it for the slaves and pain and what not, would likely have to be some frontier/unrediscovered world where the monkeigh are extra peasant and don't have credoimperialis issues. As for Eldar? I imagine the only way it would happen would be part of some weird dreamed up plan to do the right thing for Eldar.

It does because it's built by slaves because the DEldar are lazy and don't want to waste their torturefucking time on milling receivers for splinter pistols, you honestly think wasters like Kharbyr can build that stuff?

It still doesn't answer why they'd want to slum it in a hive world basement though, practically every kabalite can leave Commorragh nearly any time they want but they stay because it's where the best stuff is. It'd be like expecting you to go live with chimps in the zoo because, wow, free bananas.
>>
>>49603493
You realize that kabalites make up a tiny minority of the Deldar population, right?
Most deldar are not in nearly as good position as even the lowliest of kabalite warriors are.
For such deldar, the opportunity to live a relatively easy life in the underworld of a hive city could be preferable than having to live in the constant danger of commoragh.
>>
>>49603559
>You realize that kabalites make up a tiny minority of the Deldar population, right?

Yep, but as for the others, how do they get significant portions of technology, get out of Commorragh and survive outside? Vect has structured the city so that it feeds the needs of its citizens adequately to prevent uprising, unless they're utterly bottom of the barrel they can still go see the wych cults perform, see public displays from the haemonculi and vie for advancement in the various street gangs.

>For such deldar, the opportunity to live a relatively easy life in the underworld of a hive city could be preferable than having to live in the constant danger of commoragh.

For a rational being, yes. But for the arrogant and self centred dark Eldar? I shouldn't think so, they're eternally convinced they can climb the ranks and make it to the top, I simply can't see them wanting to leave Commorragh because to do so would cut them off from everything the city offers them. No advancement, inferior agonies to feed on, nothing to do but continue to eke out a meaningless existence among beings they despise but would come to depend on.

I think a DEldar could probably survive happily in realspace for extended periods but I can't see them wanting to be a cult leader. A pirate maybe, almost certainly among other Eldar, but tethering themselves to humans for their survival? I simply can't see them doing it. As I say, it'd be like a human going to live with chimps in the zoo because it's easier than having a job.

While most deldar wouldn't probably like the idea, some might. After all, deldar are individuals and don't all think the same.
I can see plenty of reasons for a deldar to leave the city, ranging from making powerful enemies there, some esoteric schemes, opportunities to claim resources without competition from other deldar or to simply not wanting to live under Vect's tyranny.

Also, the deldat wouldn't necessarily have to completely cut his ties to commoragh.
>>
>>49603410
That's not how it works m8.
The deldar need to have their remains delivered to the haemonculi within like 24 hours of their death or the resurrection will not work.
>>
>>49603431
It would make for a pretty interesting adventure idea for dark heresy.
>>
>>49603493
>It does because it's built by slaves
No, it does because it is non psychic tech, unlike Craftworld Eldar tech.
Because Deldar are not psykers.
An umodified splinter riffle can be used by a human, but an unmodified shuriken catapult can't, because the later is operated via psychic means.
>>
>>49603005
Craftworlders do not encompass the whole Eldar race.
They are fewer in number than Dark Eldar are.
>>
>>49603689
A Dark Eldar could perhaps run a smuggling ring in some imperial underworld.
According to the lore panel back when Deldar were first rebooted, tons of weapons and gear the slave factories in Commoragh make, gets discarded for not being good enough.
Some crafty Deldar could potentially take these discarded weapons, and sell them to underhive gangs etc, who wouldn't know anything about their quality.

You know, now that I think of it there was that Dark Eldar Archon who raided an Imperial world where they made statues, icons and other fancy shit about big E, saints and all that jazz.

He made them make works of art of him instead but he didn't stay around much, he fucked off to return some other time but took one of their hands and eyes before he left.
Wasn't like OP's idea though, they were basically slaves he couldn't take back home.

Masque of Vyle before anyone asks.

I don't know why (I mean, probably not enough sleep), but I just had the mental image of sticking the entire IoM in a blender, like, yes, homogenising the imperium is entirely what emps wanted.

What if they moved on a wheel chair, pretending to be a cripple?
>>
>>49596370

Not for the Eldar. They didn't even hit their population limit while they were at the height of their empire, and things are only getting worse with their inability to reproduce fast enough, not better.
>>
>>49610118
Again, the eldar do not have trouble reproducing.
The main issues that keep their population limited/declining, are unrelated to fertility.
Deldar population is fucking booming. Those fuckers outnumber craftworlders with ease.
>>
>>49595387
>are beautiful beyond compare by human standards, and project an "alien allure" regardless of their sex.

Also noticable inhuman looking.

>possess technology that seems like magic to imperials
Depends on the Imperial in question.
>non DE Eldar possess actual fucking magic because they are potent psykers

Which is something that gets you hunted down in the wider Imperium.

>are extremely long lived, basically immortal by human standards anyways.
True that.

>look human enough that they could sneak around without being immediately noticed for aliens, thus allowing them to operate semi openly.
I'd imagine Harlequins doing that, other Eldar are far to arrogant to hide their percieved supperiority.
>>
>>49611008
>Also noticable inhuman looking.
Not that to a degree that disguise can't cover.

>Depends on the Imperial in question.
We are talking about infiltrating the lower levels of a hive. Those fucks aren't exactly technologically literate.

>Which is something that gets you hunted down in the wider Imperium.
Only if you are caught on the radar of anyone who can recognize that sort of shenanigans.

>I'd imagine Harlequins doing that, other Eldar are far to arrogant to hide their percieved supperiority.
Not necessarily, if they have something to gain from not immediately showcasing their alien superiority.

this point has literally been dealt with at least 7 times

>Depends on the Imperial in question.
I doubt underhive gangers could strip it down or otherwise figure out how it works like the admech could (which itself is debatable), so yeah, magic.

>Which is something that gets you hunted down in the wider Imperium.
A simple solution: claim it's the will of the Emperor. Alternatively, put a fucking bee in your mouth. Also, again, in these kinds of places heretical nobles and governors are usually a higher priority for Inquisitors (unless it's a HUEG cult).

Relic depictions of the Eldar are hardly fluff accurate.
>>
>>49611567
Most fluff depictions of the eldar are hardly fluff accurate, either. Hell, the vidya is probably more consistent than the novels (voice actors notwithstanding).

It's mostly the rabble burning psykers for being witches and sorcerers.

And claiming it's fine with big E, easily gets you and "HERESY!" topping on your "FILTHY SOURCERER!"-cake.

The only way to be safe no matter what is to seem completely normal.

>>49595463
why is his left arm so fucking short lmao

>>49596422
Actually, this brings up a question:

Once an eldar soul has been deposited into the Infinity Circuit, what happens to the spend soul stone? Does it get reused for someone else, or is it no longer functional?
>>
>>49613874
I would assume it can be reused.

They appear to be more like vessels than intrinsically linked to the individual.
>>
>>49613874
To my understanding, the soulstone merges with the infinity circuit, though given that how wraith constructs work, I guess one can recall the soul into that stone, and remove it from the circuit when needed.
>>
>>49615056
>>49616709
can you guys provide sources regarding this info? I'd like to have a read for myself.
>>
>>49611902
it also captures the spirit of the setting better, which includes space elf waifus.
>>
>>49617103
I remember reading something about Eldar placing soulstones into the dome of the crystal seers, where the infinity circuit then merges with the stones, in one of the older Eldar dexes.
>>
>>49603483
that just gave me a retarded idea, don't know if I should thank you for it though
>>
>>49595981

Remember the time Lex's people actually worked out Superman was Clark Kent, but Lex refused to beleive it, stating that there was no way a godlike being like the Kryptonian would EVER deign to even pretend to be a second string milquetoast reporter for a local, not even national newspaper and fired the lot of them?
>>
>>49617107
Eldar are not spesh waifus.
>>
>>49618354
capeshit is retarded, news at 11.

>>49619658
Elves are the best spesh waifus

>0% body fat

much anorexic waifu

>>49595414
I don't remember where I read it, but no Eldar would be mistaken as a human if observed in motion. There's a disturbing alien grace to the way they move. Basically, if humans look like they move at 30 frames/second, Eldar look like they're moving at 120 in comparison.
