Only reason my GF knows anything about 40k because of me is because I used the Mechanicum not knowing the actual technicals of how anything works to set up a joke about me being a software magos because all I do is write endless canticles of the endl semicolon
I ensnared my partner by describing the mechanicus as “Evangelical Transhumanists” and then giving her the Flesh and Steel audiobook (which is just a genuinely great piece of scifi all on its own WHEN DO WE GET THE SEQUEL GW PLEASE). Now she’s color-coordinating the paint job on her Trayzen and Orikan minis and drunkenly holding court on how the Drukhari are the ‘only moral faction’.
Even Tyranids and Orks are arguably “more moral” than Drukhari! From either objective or subjective views on morality!
The Drukhari LITERALLY get off on being evil. They know they’re doing wrong, and that’s hot. That it keeps Slaanesh at bay temporarily in pure self interest isn’t any greater a justification than the Imperium’s uber-fascism for self interest or a Tyranid’s hunger, and even if you assume it is, the Aeldar, who they could join btw, or Tau, at a minimum, are still a greater good!
Plus it ignores that the Ynnari succeeded and offer a viable alternative and every single Drukhari that didn’t immediately convert is proving they are what they are because it is what they want to be. And the Aeldar and Harlrquins have ALWAYS had a way around having their souls consumed without indulging in hyper consent-free S&M!
I see the core idea of the take, but it’s still just plain wrong.
His girl is absolutely going to sacrifice his soul to a dark and ever hungry god the MOMENT she gets a flimsy excuse and he needs to watch his ass.

help me what have I doneIf she’s defending the morals of the Drukhari I’d start worrying about how much time she spends on certain parts of the internet if I were you.
Specifically the parts of the internet that involve giving her ideas for very not safe for family television things she plans to do to you.
I’m just worried because it’s a bad take. I’m pretty sure they take great pride in being immoral.
I could see them being defended as the most moral faction.

She’s a keeper.
I am under no illusions that in fact I am the one being kept, but you’re very kind nontheless.
Okay I am using that analogy, thank you
