r/Eldar

Painted using Kimera paint mixes for the most part

Is there an edition of rules that are widely considered peak and is still being played by many today or each new edition of rules generally considered an improvement on its predecessors?

I'm generally ignorant of anything released after whichever edition the black Eldar codex (3rd or 4th?). I just rediscovered this lot from storage which I assumed I had lost.

Does anyone else miss the Eternal Crusade Eldar? It was one of the few games where we were able to control and move around as Eldar with their own customization and classes.

I still get an urge to play it every time and again, sadly it's shut down now.

By reading the rules for these Eldar units, is this combination legal?

It had been half a year since I last picked up a paintbrush, and I still had this classic, old squad left to finish. Admittedly, due to the physical limitations that the passage of time imposes on my body, my painting gets worse by the day, but one has to keep going, little by little, even 30 years late! 😂

And the waited continuation (for the few who commented about the next Seasons)

For Spring she needed to be lush and full whimsy, she may have ended up looking a bit too maiden-ish, but i like it. The sheer fabric gave her weightlessness me thinks. Lots of roses (her flower) and twirls, It's nature uncontrollable~

:3c

Summer when? Who knows! But she won't be alone for the next one.

Farseer skyrunners x 3

Warlocks x 3

Storm guardians x 3

4 Warlock conclaves x 3

2 warlock skyrunners x 3

6 windriders x 3

Cost: 1995 points

Detachments: seer council (the extra 1dp does not matter as no 1dp detachment can benefit any units)

With zero intentions of forking over the money you would normally need for multiple Warlocks, I decided to use several of the Voidreavers/scarred from my Eldritch Raiders box to make my own Warlocks with a throw back to the era of Rogue Trader.

With 11^(th) edition coming out I finally decided to come over from AOS and get into the gaming part of the hobby with 40k.

For my first list I went with the rule of cool and choose aeldari wraiths for the base of my army. What I want to know is if this army is playable. I do not need it to be competitive, but any advice would be welcome both with the list and my WIP Models.

Getting back into 40k via 4th edition, and wanted some Warlocks to help lead my new Eldar force! The hobby seems to have come so far in the 20 odd years since 4th, but Warlocks seem harder to come by. At least without paying crazy prices. So I kitbashed some AoS parts with some Guardian and Dire Avenger pieces, including printed bits from Elfhead3D. What to you guys think?

The camo is my first time doing freehand patterns.

So Im in the process of moving into my first house...and havnt had alot of hobby time.

But it's pretty much all I can think about right now, and in between ripping out floors and painting walls I've been running wild with narrative campaigns to make.

Mainly my question arises from my narrative idea. Basically Drukhari and Corsair have decided to invade and colonize a major Exodite Maiden world to act as a base of operations as they plunder and exploit neighboring systems. Basically acting as a treasure / slave vault where theyve built up the maiden world cities, they've introduced more technology. And have basically taken control of the planet installing a Corsair Queen she isn't exactly nice.

I'm by no means a lore expert, and obviously if you follow lore to a T it's a bit more tricky to have fun. But I would like to have a dialogue about how Crafter worlders would react to learning this. Would they care enough to restore the regular functions of the Maiden world? Would they view it as okay because it's still technically eldar conquering the planet and not another race?

From left to right, it was supposed to be Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor and Vox.

eBay rescue i "repaired" and painted.
