r/Eldar

Anyone else scared we're going to get a new Grav Tank and it'll be like, $100?

And we won't get Wave/Falcon in the same kit?

I'm looking at Eldar potentially as a new army to get into. In 40k, I usually play Knights or Emperor's Children. I like a more tanky and fast army and Wraiths seem to be that all in one package.

In kill team, I've been playing Corsairs and they seem pretty cool too. I like all the free dashes and the silly "no I'm going to play now" interrupts I can do on my opponent's turn. It reminds me a lot of playing necromunda with genestealers where my initiative was so high I fought first even if I got charged.

So I suppose my question is: is building an Eldar army that is mostly based around various wraith construsts a good way to play? Or am I just going to be totally screwed by focusing on them? Are they super weak or not good for the army? Or can I make a decent strategy focusing on them and splashing in some of my existing Corsairs?

Hello all, I'm looking to expand my army options for 11th edition and was curious about picking up Aeldari. As a couple of test kits I've picked up the two models listed above so even if I don't wind up pursuing the whole army I will still have some cool models. My question is really are either of them models you should include or build around in a 1K list or are they more situational and not worth the points in lower limit games.

I said I was going to do it, so here it is! This is an attempt to square 7th Edition 40k and the last version of the corsair army list that was playable with the currently available models and turn it into something that could be used fairly in a retrohammer game.

I'm not any kind of rules writer, so this is largely just taking the list from Imperial Armor 11 and combining it with what I could find in the 7th Edition Eldar codex. Here and there, I needed to improvise and make stuff up, because some new units have been added to the Eldar since 7th edition! I am open to feedback - in fact, I would love feedback!

In addition to general feedback, the biggest hurdles between this and a truly playable draft are

1. Pricing various wargear options that I couldn't find modern equivalents to, such as how much should it cost to give an infantryman a man-portable shuriken cannon or d-cannon.
2. Pricing the various Voidscarred "specialist" upgrades.
3. Rangers are currently Troops, despite being Uncertain Allies, because that's the role they play in most Eldar armies, but I am torn about this. Part of me thinks they should be moved over to Elites with the rest of the Uncertain Allies.
4. I need to decide if I want to add ranger shroud runners as an additional Uncertain Allies option (probably I do). And similarly, if I do add shroud runners, should they be Elites like the rest of the Uncertain Allies or Fast Attack, which is the best category base don their traits.

I hope you enjoy reading this, and thanks in advance!

An extraordinary article on Warhammer Community, where GW explains to the player base that they know they’ll struggle against the new Space Marines and Custodes, but hope the said players will continue nonetheless to provide entertainment value to their Space Marine opponents until GW gets around to fixing their abysmal win and play rates.

The message: “It sucks. Just deal with it, as we need to ship all those Space Marine boxes—or, even better, just start an army you can paint blue.”

The absolute patronising tone of this article infuriates me. What about you ?

P.S.: It is official. We are now a horde army like the Astra Militarum and the GSC... except our Kabalite Warriors still cost 110pt and we have to pay a transport tax.
