Are Eldar attractive to Humans?
>>53081458
No
The Eldar's uncanny beauty is like looking at a cool glasswork. It's kinda freaky and neat at first, but you wouldn't wanna fuck it.
no, fuck off
>>53081458
no.
But they are deadly to humans
>>53081458
Yes and no.
Eldar are beautiful the first time you see one, but the longer you look the creepier they get.
Probably about as pretty as elves would be, that is to say, not very pretty at all, and instead just sort of uncanny and bizarre.
>She had studied them carefully, appalled at their heathen ways and lack of cultural maturity, shocked by the ephemeral quality of their lives. She had seen their high art and music, and regarded both with disdain for their lack of profundity. She had watched them make wars, and laughed at the hollowness of their glories, and the frailty of their courage.
>In the old, old days, before Kaelor had become a neglected, decaying ghost of its former self, the aspect warriors would have derided her for consorting with the mammals of Terra. But the warriors were all but gone now, the elegant colonnades of the craftworld emptied of their glory. Those few that remained understood, as she did, that humans were the only pawns left for them to use.
>She wondered what the humans would make of her. A goddess, no doubt. In their eyes, she was a woman, far above average height for a human female, slender, and majestic. It was a ironic joke of the Cosmos that Eldar and human were so physically alike. Her perfection would have triggered wars of lust and driven human males to despair.
>She liked that idea. The mammals of Terra, weeping at her impossible beauty.
>She wept too. She wept blood. She wept for her mouldering craftworld and the shades of all those of her race that had perished. She wept because she had seen what was coming.
>Her name was Ela' Ashbel, Farseer. She considered what a human mouth would make of her name.
-"Blind Hopes" by Dan Abnett
Yes.
Now the real question. Do Eldar find humans attractive?
>>53081578
>Do Eldar find humans attractive?
No, why would they?
>>53081636
Vect has two human scantly dressed females in tied to his throne.
>>53081490
>you wouldn't wanna fuck it
Maybe YOU wouldn't...
>>53081667
Doesn't mean he finds them attractive.
>>53081667
Vect would fuck an open stove laced with mousetraps. Humans are a no-go ya think?
/tg/ jerks off to monster girls, i am sure there are people who want to fuck an eldar just because.
>>53081578
She thinks humans would find her attractive, it does not mean she is attractive to us.
I like to imagine eldar as they were depicted in this artwork, strange, alien, humonoid features but utterly different.
The eldar depiction in the xenology was also a good example.
>>53081858
Yeah, that's some real ayyy.
>>53081858
I like them sexy. I would polish his spear if you know what I mean.
>>53081458
Canonically, they're pretty qt, if rather weird looking.
>>53081458
Canonically, yes. To either gender.
Their movements are unnervingly precise but they're still supposed to be shockingly, inhumanly attractive.
>>53081675
I am willing to be that you've probably been banned from entering cathdrals.
>>53081458
Yes, I indeed find their helmets and armor really attractive.
>>53081935
He looks like an overgrown gnome in that artwork.
>>53081933
Ayy eldar best eldar because you can purge them with no mercy easily.
>>53081942
>CHING CHONG NIP NONG, WOULD YOU RIKE SOME FRY RICE? ME GIVE YOU RICE FOR SOURSTONE!
Eldars are one of the good examples of the uncanny valley imho; I guess that with their over-symmetrical facial features and too perfect body proportions there is a similarly alien body language that additionally puts us off. We might appreciate their grace but all these traits make them too "repulsive" for our reptile brain for it to willingly like them. And that just makes them even more awesome in my book.
>>53082017
>an Eldar novel
>has a human on the cover
Yes, exactly what I wanted to read!

Humans will sexualize everything. If we can't fuck something or profit from it, our next reaction is to kill it.
Even Aun'shi, who is a Tau commented, that he understands why the Eldar are considered attractive.
The Eldar are designed to be beautiful. I believe even the Orks consider them beautiful. See Dawn of War 2 ("even their dakka iz pretty!").
>>53081458
You tell me.
>>53082292
Yes, big bright eyes turn me on. So does slanted eyes.
Add them together and I am in heaven.
>>53082160
Don't forget the other version.
>>53082098
Deal with it xeno. Be grateful to have your extra heretical material. If i am not mistaken this novel had some slaaneshi sex in it. Or was there dick shaped ships? Cant be sure, some dicks were involved in the plot . That is as far as i can remember.
>>53081942
That head is comically large
>>53082160
But this one has shoulders so wide she can pull a truck.
>you only had one job
Depends on the human. No matter what it is there's somebody that wants to fuck it
>>53081858
That's actually a very good point, of course an Eldar would see herself as prettier than human woman, she has Eldar beauty standards.
In all likelihood, both species fall into the others uncanny valley, we're extremely similar in shape but not enough to quite pass for the other race. You can really tally up all the derogatory comments Eldar make about humans to their unending ego too, this is the species that spawned Slaanesh.
Id imagine humans see Eldar similarly to your picture, whilst Eldar themselves see themselves akin to pic related and >>53081935
And Eldar probably see us as looking more chimp/apelike than we imagine ourselves to be, they call us monkeys after all.
im getting kinda tired of the "man hooks up with eldar female" trope so is there any fanfiction of eldar men with human women?

It's been outright stated in multiple codices that Eldar are almost universally found attractive by humans. It's not a matter of them thinking they're attractive or them being psychic, they're just very very attractive to humans. If that's not grimdark enough for you, or something, then just deal with it.
Pic related is a canon Eldar.
This whole question was answered, years ago, by the source material.
>>53082842
That canon Eldar has an ugly manface. And even canon art can vary wildly. Most of what has been posted in this thread is official art.
>>53081578
>Do Eldar find humans attractive?
There are deviants in every species.
The Path novels confirmed that eldar find humans distressingly similar to themselves, to the extent where when not under the influence of the aspect mask they feel extremely uncomfortable killing them.
At least, that's what the Alaitoc dudes in those books felt. Like humans, eldar are probably pretty ethnically and culturally diverse.
>>53082719
>ywn be captured by an autarch and used as his personal cum dump till you get old and he flushes you out an airlock cause you're a worthless monkeigh

Which? I too, tire of this trope.
Is there a good story any Anon can recommend of male human/Eldar female involving loveand preferably sex, too
Bonus points for Nightingale syndrome.
>>53083468
All I have is artwork.
>>53083160
Dude, it's not even close.
The vast majority of eldar art just has them as slender humans with sharp ears and pointed features. Even the black eyes thing is restricted to maybe two or three pieces of canon artwork.
And eldar are never described as looking this alien in prose. The impression of otherworldliness and inhumanity people get from them is always described as coming from the way they move, not the way they look.
>>53083468
I believe they have one book, but its rare and kept by inquisition. Go and ask them.
>>53081458
Yes they do. and their moves add to the beauty.
Now the real question. Do Eldar find humans attractive?
>Now the real question. Do Eldar find humans attractive?
They are similar to eachother and they find it uncomfortable to kill humans without mask. so there is at least some sympathy. nevertheless, they may consider us just less shittier than others, but shit nonetheless
Same way Humans consider all xenos as subhumans, but Eldar are more or less respected by them.
>>53083756
I would take no joy in killing a monkey, that does not mean i would want to have sex with it.
>>53081578
Fabius commented that Eldar sexual dimorphism is less pronounced than Human. Take it for what it's worth.
>>53081458
Yes, unnaturally so. They exude an alien attraction regardless of gender. Your manly guardsmen get a funny feeling in their pants looking at a male eldar.
Well not exactly, but they do find them attractive in a weird way and it befuddles them.
>>53083756
>Yes they do.
>>53084032
>all this fetish garbage
>>53084032
>Well not exactly, but they do find them attractive in a weird way and it befuddles them
I would like to think that's more like it. Not an "I wanna fuck that"-attraction, but an attraction to a weird but mesmerizing piece of art.
>>53082977
Is this from the shitty DoW3 storyline where they seem to thing Autarchs are warlords that just send out their own personal forces from the craftworld to go on stupid missions? Fuck DoW is retarded when it comes to lore.
>>53083684
From what I've seen, the black eyes thing is only portrayed on dark eldar
>>53084079
It's straight from canon, not my idea
>>53084131
Yeah, regardless of the gender of either party there's a strange alien beauty to them. Like you say, not 'I wanna fuck it now' but 'huh... that's lovely, that... what was I doing?'

>>53081458
It depends on the artist/human.
>>53081458
Yes.
While Eldar may not actually be stunningly beautiful by human standards (like stereotypical elves) but instead may be alien enough to risk falling into the uncanny valley like >>53081858 said, there's no doubt in my mind that Eldar would generally fall into the "fuckable" category for most people.
>>53084899
You probably posted the least fuckable depiction of an Eldar possible.
>>53081858
Now that's just super badly drawn. I mean, look at the proportions. Compare the length of his arms to the length of his legs.
>>53084166
Nah, there's one picture of Eldrad where he has them.
I don't think there's any official 'black eye' Dark Eldar. All the ones you're thinking of are probably Beckjann, who, admittedly, should probably be taken on by GW was an official artist, because his stuff is much better than many of their new 'talent.'
I love the insane gamut of proportions Eldar have.
Note, this is official art.

>>53085386
Oddly enough, when I think of how eldar look, it's this pathfinder character that comes to mind.
I'm not a fan of Wayne's art style, but I feel like this character's design encompasses pretty much all the good stuff stretched across the various art of eldar, and encapsulates everything that characterizes them in their written descriptions.
She has the long-limbed, lean, just-a-little-too-slight to be normal physique. She has a facial structure that's definitely a little shy of the human norm, but remains identifiable with and pretty. She has those glassy, dark eyes that hide her true intentions and make the subject of her attention confused. She has basically zero T&A, almost unnaturally blemishless features, and some kind of psychic-looking gem thing in her forehead that seems very eldar. Her expression is one of disregard. The only issue is that her ears are a little long.
I know nothing about who this character actually is or if she's anything like an eldar (I'm willing to bet she's some manner of dickass rogue or swashbuckler, probably highly sarcastic because this is edgefinder), but she has the look down.

Because the next conflict is about Imperium vs Chaos. As shown in the trailer. Yvraine probably resurrected him knowing that he would weaken Chaos and that's it.

She's terrible, actually. The one good thing in her backstory was realising she wasn't that bright early on (not like rogues need int, right?) and people kept saying she wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer... so she decided she was gonna carry around a shitload of knives to make up for it.
Yes, really. That's the high point.
That said, I feel the art direction fits, even if it is terrible. 4chan proves that humanity will attempt to fuck weird things, people can afford to make weird things and have them be attractive.

Hilariously dumb.
Just did some digging around for her stats. She's not even that stupid, her INT is literally average. Not bad, not great, just normal.

Agreed, and Beckjann's Dark Eldar art is better than any canon art in my eyes. His work is great and has provided me with tons of inspiration for my Dark Eldar army.
He blends alien and elven together really well. I wish he'd come back and do more stuff.

That's pretty shit art, though. Doesn't look like an eldar at all, and more like a high fantasy elf.
Eldar and Warhammer Fantasy elves are supposed to be uncanny-valley perfect and have entirely black eyes, as well as the pointy ears.
Amongst elves in Warhammer Fantasy, being born with a mild physical deformity was enough to make one of the greatest wizards amongst them an outcast and have him take human concubines. It's safe to assume that the eldar are no less "picture-perfect" and arrogant.
And with eldar tech or elven magic, as well with their inherent physical superiority, the idea of scars like that is all but absurd.

Yes.

>>53092772
This is not how it works. Also no source and depiction portrays this.
>>53081578
No. We are slower with far less sensitive senses, and no psychic presence. Dark eldar might tolerate humans more because they cut themselves from the psychic aspect as well, but then there is the rest.
Tell me, if you go around the streets and find a person that, from your perspective is as follows:
Slow moving, clumsy, dull witted, stinks due to shitty hygiene and also has a lot of health/biological functions that you consider diseased/disgusting, horrible skin (remember better eyesight), have no psychic presence, are centuries young, is fairly unskilled at everything, ages very fast and becomes old looking in the blink of an eye, and by all means looks slightly retarded/handicapped.
Would you find that attractive? thats how eldar see humans. As everything is relative, to them, thats how humans would appear.
Im sure there Might be a FETISH, but fetishes are towards nonsexual things, and things that we might even consider disgusting but somehow are attracted to, so even then, they would not find humans attractive, just have a fetish on banging handicapped and filthy individuals.
>>53083997
That just means there is less separation between genders physically, its still present but not as pronounced.
If we take it from earth animal biology, all fetuses are female before they differentiate into males due to influence by Y chromossome and hormonal levels of the mother.
This would mean all eldar, if following that same principle, would be all feminine, women more so.
So a bit like human young boys before sexual maturity, with soft voices, no body hair, slender features. Likely more muscular and taller, but without as much difference.
That is inline with art on eldar. I am fine with that.
>>53092844
I'd imagine that what ever humans live in Commorragh in a capacity other than absolute slavery have long modified themselves to be more like the Eldar. I don't know about you, but being looked at in such a manner would make me feel like shit. I'd certainly do everything in my power to distance myself from baseline human form to maximize my probability of survival.
>>53092877
>That is inline with art on eldar
Aside from not having any beards, no, not really.
>>53084032
Meh the same is true for human males.
The entire "im a guy i cant tell if that guy is attractive" is mostly an ego defence meme, we all can tell, perfectly well.
Even can admire/look at another guy and find him beautiful, even if you aren't attracted to him at all. The ability to discern beauty is not the same as attraction.
if anything this is what dumbfound us the most about women, while men all can generally agree on what is a beautiful woman (or a beautiful man), the shit we see women seeing as attractive is just a huge "what the fuck?".
Men are more visual, women are more about their perception, which is why womens opinions on what men are attractive vary far, far more than men. Men reach consensus with ease, women don't.
We just don't like to think about another guy as pretty, because not only it gives a lot of people a feeling of insecurity, it also makes us face with the fact that guy X is more attractive/prettier than we are, and we rather not think about it.
But we can tell. I cant see why wouldn't a guardsman be able to tell that on someone else.
Fuck, I'm bored.
>>53092927
>The entire "im a guy i cant tell if that guy is attractive" is mostly an ego defence meme, we all can tell, perfectly well.

Can Eldar be dumb? An exceptionally talented Farseer who is really good at reading the loom of fate, but is kinda an airhead and has no idea what to do with that info, constantly stressing about why the fuck all there people keep listening to her.
>>53092307
>Eldar and Warhammer Fantasy elves are supposed to be uncanny-valley perfect and have entirely black eyes, as well as the pointy ears.
see
There are actually only about three pieces of official art where eldar have black eyes.
I actually like the effect, but it's clearly just the preference of one or two artists.
>>53092967
I know, simply adding to it, due to responses you have gotten and the way you phrased it. One does not need to be attracted to be able to tell someone/something is so.
>>53092966
Unless im misreading you, thats what I mean by women having far wider variety of what they consider to be attractive, and many times it has nothing to do with physicality. Men focus more on physical attributes thus reach consensus easier.
Women on the other hand... social standing, humor, achievements, her own perception of the person and so forth, they vary a lot.
This does not mean that we cannot, as men, tell when a guy is well shaped, lacking a better word.

Well, ofc. Intelligence does not mean infallible, nor does it prevent stupid mistakes or holding dumb ideas. Especially when intelligence is high, the more prone to things such as hubris one is.
Intelligence does not mean right, it means being able to perceive more from a situation, process it all faster, but reaching a conclusion faster does not mean its the right conclusion.
Considering too many factors isn't always good, can become confusing and even paralyzing. Eldar are in general sharper than humans, but just as prone to stupidity and fault.
If you look at humans we consider to be the most intelligent, and read a lot into them, you will see a lot of stupid dumbass decisions/opinions. Don't see why it wouldnt be the case for Eldar.
