Eldar representation in 40k games has dropped off a cliff ?

Am I the only one who was disappointed by the lack of eldar representation in all the 40k games that have been showcased in the skulls event ? Out of everything that's been shown the only game that seems to even feature them is Total War which is still distant enough that it doesn't even have a release date yet.

I recall the days of the old DoW games where Eldar were among the classic 40k factions alongside space marines and ork, now it feels like their theme of being the ancient mysterious race has been completely taken over by necrons. I guess eldar still are still the best psyker race and yet I can't help but feel like their identity has been diluted, especially with the aborted Ynnari plotline that has left them in a sort of limbo in the current state of 40k.

Anyone else feel that way ? Should GW shake up the eldar lore to make them a bit more dynamic ?

Iyanden guardian trio

Progressing on the guardian squad... I'd love some feedback if you see anything you think could be improved!

Heya, just got done with two guardian defenders and can't really decide which one I like more for my eldar army. In terms of lore I like both Iyanden and Biel-Tan. From a visual standpoint I like the thorny vine designs of Biel-Tan (Iyanden doesn't really have anything like that unfortunately), but I feel like the blue and yellow theme of Iyanden is more interesting.

So choose whichever one you prefer and I might select that one for my subsequent minis ! Any feedback on the models is also more than welcome. For the Iyanden Guardian I tried painting the metallic details to look like a dark silver, but I'm not sure I pulled it off so I'll probably rework the recipe a bit.
