Games Workshop Hates the Eldar but I Don’t! 

Please no more harlequins, deldar and ynnari. Craftworld Eldar needs a full re-launch of all their old models. We can do the eldar sub-factions after that.

agree

Definitely agree.

@@JezielProdigalSon it looks like we'll be getting the slow-trickle range refresh... it already started with some of the aspect warriors before even this edition was out. The book launch had a laughably small model release, which typically hints at more to come in drip-feed fashion... which is par for the course how GW has treated Eldar since probably 5th edition. Anyone who knows anything about Eldar, knows that if they really want to get people interested in them, release Exodite rules and models (who wouldn't want space elves on alien dinosaurs?) and come up with some better super-faction rules like the Imperium has. Wham-bam.

@@lazerhosen If thats the case, thats the slowest drip-feed ive ever seen, considering they started updating the range with the skyrunners and autarachs, like 5 years ago, and theyre still not even halfway done. Also, lets not release exodites and instead refresh the already existing range of models.

That's how I'm feeling as a newer player getting into World Eaters. The current Berzerkers are just as old as I am lol!

To reinforce this: I'm looking at getting back into wargaming after a 20+ year hiatus. I sold all my minis . Looked at eldar again and just thought, I had almost all this 30years ago. Nothing is new.

Thats a bit of an exaggeration - the range got a redo in 3rd and 4th ed for most of the models. The only really old models still lurking are a couple of vehicles (vyper & Falcon), warp spiders and the phoenix lords that are yet to be redone. You might count swooping hawks in that mix as well as 3rd ed models.

@@ObjectiveSecured Dire Avengers, Firedragons and Striking Scorpions are still models from 2005/2006. 16 years old. Swooping Hawks (as you mentioned) are 23 years old. So, you're right, I guess it is only Warpspiders and Phoenix lords who are 30+ years old. But half of the aspect warriors are hardly spring chickens. 😀 Come on GW. How about some love? The Corsair voidscarred are beautiful models. So, when GW do remember Aeldari exist, they bring out awesome stuff.

@@tigermunky Im an Eldar fanboy and would LOVE them to redo some of the older kits - Scorpions and Spiders especially! The good thing about the aspects is the new plastics dont reinvent the wheel for them and the old look fine alongside the new - which they should based on the lore. We did get a big splash of new plastics in 6th and now 9th with the odd release in between. The issue is one of niche - as much as the haters would like it to be, new kits dont mean kick ass rules (see dark reapers) and with low sales and a niche unit its not hard to see why it may take several more years before finecast old stuff is gone.

You forgot to correct his pronunciation of "Commorragh" which is meant to sound nearly identical to "Gomora" (like from the Bible), hence the shadow realm adjacent to Commoragh being called "Shadam" (Shadam & Commorragh / Sodom & Gomora). It's like hearing the "gh" at the end of "Waaaagh!" being pronounced... it's literally just "war" in Orkish cockney dialect, the "gh" is silent... just like in the most of the rest of English words ending with a "gh"

Agree with everything! I was so annoyed when the fire prism / wave serpents came out... I didn't collect eldar but they were by far the coolest tanks.

I agree that grav tanks for marines just seems wrong. It's only my opinion, but I think marine tank tech at it's best is brutalist and blocky, almost like mobile bunkers, and *stays on the ground*!

@@grimmriffer I don't understand why they don't give the marines something with big wheels, something similar to a Stryker, it would totally fit into the style of the marines. Wheels are also easy to produce, could make it a Land Raider or Rhino Pattern that got lost to time. Slightly chance it up. And since they use those weird ATV's there is no reason they couldn't have other wheeled vehicles.

I hate the new grav tanks for Space Marines, so I keep to dreadnoughts and guard tanks I think they have so much more character and are less dumb lore wise.

@@gladius6132 The Kratos is a good Marine Tank, the Land Raider is a good marine tank, all that grav stuff is blah.

Yeah, it's really the look of them I don't care for. They don't have the intimidation factor of the others. At least the Craft Worlders.

The problem with the ynnari wasn't because of Yvraine being Girlyman's "gf" but because at the end of the book they made ynnari look like a joke, which wasn't really a good thing to do when you consider that most of eldar fans are tired of playing as a joke race and galaxy's punching bag

@@stefanenderman338 that and their release was lazy by GW standards... a few characters and no new units, just another way to play two/three existing armies, removing their best strengths and replacing them with "so-so" rules that encourage you sacrifice your dudes? A new type of avatar that pretty much looks like Slaanesh?

I don't think a straight up single unit kill team would be very interesting. In fact, I think an Ynnari kill team could be interesting. They are basically just eldar that believe in a certain path so they could still be made up of warlocks, seers, bone singers and aspect warriors right? I think a mix of all of those different units would be really cool, and it's probably the only way you could get more than two fire teams of different aspect warriors in a kill team. On the other hand, as a craftworld kill team it would likely have to be a single aspect shrine making up the whole squad. That's just speculation anyway, I don't really care how it would come about, but a kill team with aspects would be awesome, I just like that fact that kill teams seem to have a lot of variety. And I think the idea of a bone singer that can create barriers or do something interesting with terrain would be cool, plus they can do psychic powers, so they wouldn't be completely useless lol

Yeah I find it a bit jarring how in the books they are described as being naturally very fast and strong and would easily bash a human to death in hand-to-hand, and that the howling banshees/striking scorpions are on par with a space Marine, but then get decimated when it actually comes to it

I hate how many times ive found a imperium fanboy who bullies any xeno player but especially hates eldar, do they have bad experiences with players? Nope they just hate eldar for no apparent reason

You mean skaven right? But how do you improve on perfect-great?

@@mattdeeley4302 With more-more sculpts and no resin-resin models.

I'm not a fan of GW's Contrast paint, but I'll give Army Painter speed paint a go after this

Damn straight he does! Me too 😁 *picks up a model* this is my all time favo- no wait *picks up a different model* now THIS is my all time fa- hmmm *picks up first model* no these two are my all time f- *sees the rest of his shelves*... This could take a while

You can literally learn about all the lore without buying a single codex. Lexicanum/40k wiki exists, and so do Luetin09 videos.

They look more like rank and file kabalites than an archon
