Im starting Harlequins because I hate finecast/metal models... Love Craftworld playstyle and lore, new models too, but those beautifull plastic death clowns... Most of Eldar need resculpt
I love Eldar cause 1) They are Elves, in SPESS! 2) Cause their designs are very space opera adventure (Star Wars, Trek, Mass Effect) Within the deep space, beside war there can still be grand and beauty.
It's a very, very beautiful army that you have. Really beautiful. I love the eldars, because their history and fascinating as well as their universe. Good luck with eldar army . :)
i think they're showcasing the studio armies...Kris' is a personal one but yessir I would LOVE to see a rundown of that. So much OOP Forgeworld stuff in there
I have always been drawn to the good races that and I mostly prefer armoured clean astetics. So my main armies are space marines tau and eldar. There is something about the eldar tough with their sleek planes and tanks. Massive wraithkinghts and aspects. Not to mention fantastic lore and powerful on the battlefield. Just gotta love those pesky elves 😅
you say "fantastic lore" .. do you recommend some books based/focused on Eldar? I don't know a lot about the current books and only seem to find Ynnari when it comes to "Aeldari".. But I want to read a book about a Craftworld! or multiple
I fell in love with the eldar (craftworld and harlequins like 4th ed) range 15 years ago, i painted nearly everything they got i still lack the heavy tanks and the shadow specters, the only issue i got with them is the lack of new units, when you got 3 of every infantry squad painted it really shows that eldar get the short stick when it comes to GW new releases
What drew me to Eldar was the picture of the Warlock casting Destructor. Such an elegant and poised figure, but it has an extemely fierce aspect as well.
Eldar are my favorite too, with Tau in second place. Dark Reapers are the only ones I’m not a huge fan of, mostly because of their (what I find to be) goofy skull helmets. I’m going to replace mine with a different type of head.
EXTREMELY late to the party, but yeah Eldar design is just incredible. It says something that they've remained mostly the same for nearly forty years now. Every time GW asks what they can do, regardless of context, I say in bold text "PLASTIC ASPECT WARRIORS". The minute Scorpions, Reapers, Dragons, and Hawks are plastic is the day I get back into my precious Eldar.
My personal issues about imperial gear being just step better than most of the highly advanced sleep Eldar stuff, Aeldari (tm) have always been one of my favourite models. I'm attempting to put together a mob army for 1500 pts. 6 full guardian defender squads with weapon platforms as a base. For a dying race they sure throw away a lot of guardians, don't they?
MizantropMan I'm not against big armies especially in Heresy, but when they get far too big to field some of these armies take up whole rooms get gets kinda gross. Especially some of these guys who have nearly 10,000 pts. Of every army
i wish the avatar could get a new model the model ist still from the second editon. needs to be much bigger and updatet rules to be equal to other big Characters
i hate elder because they kill Talos in void stalker (just finished the night lords omnibus and its a great trilogy of books) chaos is best. blood for the blood god - uzas
