New Aeldari Corsairs player | Lore‑friendly Iyanden + Corsairs army?

Hi! I’ve just started an Aeldari Corsairs army. As someone new to Aeldari in general, I’m a bit overwhelmed by the whole range of miniatures available. Is there any viable way nowadays to field a good spread of Corsair units (everything that comes in the Eldritch Raiders BattleForce) without messing too much with the lore?

Since I’ve never played against Aeldari, I’m not really sure how much people care about this principle. I understand that many players create their own Craftworld, but personally I prefer sticking to the ones that already exist. Since Yriel is from Iyanden, I’ve been thinking about building a combined Iyanden + Corsairs themed army, as if the Corsairs were helping them in a battle.

Now, when it comes to playing, is any list with these characteristics viable? Which Detachment should I use? Should I focus on Wraiths for the whole Iyanden side?

When to expect Range Refresh?

Hi! I’m currently playing TS, and I’m planning to start a new Drukhari army. The thing is, given the age of most of the models, I’m worried that they might become outdated relatively soon if I start collecting them now.

As a TS player, I know what it’s like to feel that GW doesn’t give our army much attention, but at least all of our models—excluding generic Chaos units—were released in 2016 or later.

I’ve considered playing it safe and buying all the “newer” models first, but at some point I’d like to play some games using your basic units, such as Kabalite Warriors, Wyches, etc.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

My first two games in 11th ed: Dark Angels and Ultramarines. Any tips so I don’t get utterly crushed?

hey everyone,

i’ve been in the hobby for about two years now, but i’ve spent almost all that time painting. right now i’ve got around 2,500 points of TS ready for war.

with 11th edition out, I’ve finally decided to start playing properly. my goal isn’t to become world champion in three months, but I do want to hold my own at local store tournaments and, most importantly, have fun without feeling like I’m playing terribly.

i’ve played two games so far: one against DA and one against Ultramarines. Ironically, the first one went much better than the second.
the latest was against Ultramarines and I lost by a lot of points by Round 3. i was running Grand Coven + Priority Assets. my opponent, very kindly, put us on a chess clock: 1h30 each. his list was built around 4 vehicles and Marneus Calgar backed up by a squad of terminators.

after that game, two things are crystal clear:
• time management is huge (i burned almost my entire clock just thinking).
• i need to learn my datasheets properly
but… i still have questions

if anyone’s been playing TS in 11th and wants to share some wisdom, I’d really appreciate help with:
• what units or combos do you recommend for blowing up vehicles?
• what do you usually send into the center of the board as bait / distraction?
• what role does each unit typically fill in a TS list?
• what’s the best way to use Magnus?
• how do you plan your pre-game phase?

any advice, example lists, or “this worked for me / this got me annihilated” stories are welcome. thanks in advance!

Sexual frustration in my relationship (M21 / F24)

I (M21) have been with my girlfriend (F24) for almost 2 years now. There’s a lot of backstory, so I’ll keep it simple.

We get along really well. There’s love and a real connection, and things are good in a lot of ways. We both grew up in a very strict religious environment where sex before marriage and even masturbation were not allowed. We’re not really part of that anymore. Our families still are, so it still affects us.

I don’t believe in those rules anymore. She still holds onto some of them, especially around sex. For her, it’s something she wants to wait for until marriage. Her mom also has a strong influence on that.

I want to be clear that I respect her beliefs. I’m not trying to pressure her. At the same time, this has been an issue since early on.

She’s a virgin. I’m not. When we started dating, I told her I didn’t see myself in a long-term relationship without sex at some point. Over time, I tried to put that aside. I care about her and I didn’t want her to feel pressured.

So I stopped bringing it up. Whenever I did, she felt like I was pushing her.
We’ve never had sex. There isn’t really any sexual side to our relationship at all. At one point we talked about trying smaller things. Recently she shut that down too. For her, it’s nothing until marriage.

It’s starting to mess with me.

I feel frustrated a lot. More than that, I don’t feel desired at all. When we talk about it, she says she has reactive desire. She says she needs something to start before she feels anything.

Nothing ever starts, so I just feel stuck. Lately I don’t even feel like initiating affection or kissing. That makes me feel like a bad partner.

Right now the only way I’m dealing with the sexual frustration is through masturbation. It’s starting to feel kind of compulsive. It wasn’t like this before.

So yeah, I don’t know.

Am I approaching this the right way?
Is this something I should accept and work on, or are we just not compatible?

2vs2 Game Advice

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a 2v2 game coming up next week. I’ll be playing Thousand Sons alongside a World Eaters player (1000 points each), and we’re facing Black Templars and Dark Angels.

What play style is recommended to bring considering my ally? Also, how should we divide our roles on the table to work effectively as a team?
Any advice on synergy between Thousand Sons and World Eaters in this kind of matchup would be really appreciated.

Ahriman WIP

This is my second attempt on Universe’s mightiest sorcerer. The previous one aged quite badly compared to my current painting style and skill. C&C welcome!
