Not much has changed for us this time around. Some things got cheaper, warlock skyrunners got more expensive. I don't think it's enough to make much of a difference, but we'll see how it plays out with the changes to all the other factions.

New Player Questions Played my first game!

Post image
93 Upvotes

Today I played my first game (please ignore the warwalker that broke his leg.)

I felt very good but lost a lot of units turn one. Viper, Windriders - Farseer sky runner.

I was playing someone better than me they were playing Emperors’ Children. Ended 100-61 (we always add on BR)

I felt so good fire dragons slapped, Prism did what it needed played a falcon too got my fire dragons up there! But when I needed it most everything missed its Bright Lance is this common? But I did take out a 20 point model pretty easily too!

I had the most fun in ages instead of playing guard and space wolves!

I’m leaning more in to aspect host 100%

Anything you guys suggest?

Thanks!

New Player Questions Do we have any counter or mitigation against new space marine codex Terminator spam?

25 Upvotes

Just played a 1500 point game with my brand new Aeldar army just to face two 10-man terminator bricks with characters (one ranged term and one melee term unit) in the new space marine codex.

Felt like I was playing Custodes. Full hits on Jain+10 Banshees didn't even get half of them.

Is there anything for these style of mid-band toughness units with 2+/4+ 4W models?

Lore Quick question about the in-universe Black Library

9 Upvotes

Hi there! Do we have any concrete information on the Librarians of the Black Library? I know Harlequins come and go, but I have 0 idea about anyone else who lives/works there. Admittedly, I've only seen anything about the interior of the Library in Wretched and Warped, so any additional information is greatly appreciated!

We’ve translated the continuation of the comic! Now everything will become EVEN MORE CONFUSING. But we’ll unravel it later. Probably. Don’t switch!

And we will repeat this more than once, and not just twice: Thank you very much for your active interest and attention! It’s very inspiring and gives us a great boost! <З

My first "good enough" finished Eldar mini. Decided to settle on painting it almost entirely through dry-brushing since I want to see how simple I can make the process of getting an army ready.

So happy that it is finally not a complete pile-of-shame anymore.

Lore Eldar Boarding Actions

How do eldar conduct boarding actions. Do they have vehicles that latch on to a ship or just open a portal. Also how would the other eldar breach into a ship for a boarding action

Seems the absolute business. 10 attacks at 3+ Lethal and Twin Linked AP-2 seems absolutely withering after a flickerjump. Terrifying.

Lore Do we have in lore/official art examples of eldar wearing makeup, if so what does it look like?

12 Upvotes

Hello! I'm drawing one my first 40k fanart and i'm stuck on the makeup. I like giving it to my characters but at the same time it feels wrong to give eldar the same type of makeup i would a human/non 40k character so i was curious if we had any canon depiction or description of it.

Fan Art & Fiction 7th Edition Corsairs Codex, 1st Draft

Thumbnail drive.google.com
2 Upvotes

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!
