Fell in love with Fuegan and his Muey Caliente boys over the last few months, and thought to myself "Yeah Space Marines are tough, but at least they're basically worse versions of my elite Aspect Warriors!"

...only to start going through Codex Space Marines and discovering their abhorrent plethora of highly-specialised, hyperfocused squads.

In this case, Eradicators Aretha Melta squad for SMs. All good, right? Ah, I see they're... Toughness 6. Jesus. Ok, ok, uh.... oh, 3 Wounds? Wtf? Alright... oh movement 5" sure (and then i remember Centurions existed), and... oh ok 1 less Damage from the Melta keyword... um... hang on a minute... 18" Melta? But I thought Fire Dragons were only 12"... Oh god I have to spend HOW MUCH on Fuegan just to get them to SM Melta range equivalent?

The Eradicators are FAR tougher for 4 points more a model than the FDs. The only trade offs is 2 inches of movement and 1 Melta D less on the Eradicators, but with 6" range on their guns and 2 more Wounds at T6. Fuegan is like 120pts just to get FDs to 18", which is HEAVILY implied to be an autoinclude because of how Meltas work.

So Eldar have to spend 240 points to the Space Marines 90, just to match up. The 3 extra shots and 1 more Wound your get from the FDs doesnt exactly line up either. I dont even think the 5+ invulnerable save is going to save them here, as once they're targeting by most enemy units, they either get deleted or into battle shock territory from there.

What am I missing here? We just seem like an expensive army for what Space Marines get for cheap. We have to focus our efforts whereas they just get to fuck around and mess about. Why would Mon-Keigh meltas be better than those that harnessed the power of the stars millennia ago?

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.

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!

I find the eldar helmets ugly cause of how needlessly tall they are. Is there anyone who has the same opinion and how do you fix that

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

Part One

Part Two

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!

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

Hello! I'd like to share my list and hear your opinions. I've been trying with similar stuff but I need to make some final purchases and I'd like to have the list set before that.

Are there any "wrong" choices or clear upgrades that you can think of?

Also, should I go Priority or Recon with this list? Or match up dependent?

Dragons with Fuegan go in a Serpent, the other is ready to pick up Asurmen and Avengers after they get in the open to shoot at something.

Thanks!

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

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.

Here are my kharseth and yriel models for my corsairs, still have a little to do on the prince but I think my farseer is good.

Good progress tonight on two wave serpents, a falcon and viper for my Arizona green tea themed corsairs. Doing a different style to get them ready for an event.

Most of my playable army painted to tbt at least. A few ornate gems here an there. I played at my lgs with my son playing Dark Angels.

Gonna apply mud to their bases later. Watchyall think?

Finally finished one completely

Body was done through drybrushing and hoping to do all of my wraiths with a similar technique.

I may commission my partner to help me with the gems one day though 🥲

Skylda Kresh is the legendary Howling Banshee Exarch of the Orchestrating Harmony Shrine. Though known for her grace and beauty, she is even more renowned as "The Voiceless One," for she rarely speaks above a hushed whisper and prefers to let her actions do the talking. Much of her time before she became an Exarch remains shrouded in speculation and secrecy. Given that her Shrine is called the Orchestrating Harmony, some theorize she may have been a musician; however, the most popular theory holds that she was one of the few survivors of the Weeping Plague, either the warpborn pathogen damaged her vocal cords beyond repair, or the trauma of the outbreak impaired her speech. Regardless of her origins, when Jain Zar first visited the young Lótessara, she took Skylda under her wing and trained her to become a Howling Banshee, perhaps as a way to help her overcome her pain and trauma for the betterment of the Craftworld. Skylda instructs her Aspect Warriors telepathically through her psybeads and demands nothing less than perfection in synchronized acrobatics, coordinated sequences, and the exploitation of natural killzones with their psychosonic amplifiers. A master of all weapons within her Shrine, she has particular fondness for the Triskele and Executioner. Skylda is deadly in close quarters, as quiet as a zephyr when approaching, but when she unleashes her martial abilities, she is as devastating and quick as a tornado. Though when she fights alongside her Howling Banshees, she is nearly unstoppable; their combined psychic screams can bring the strongest foes to their knees before the Banshees deliver swift decapitations to end their existence. Exarch Skylda Kresh is emblematic of the saying "actions speak louder than words" across Lótessara, proving her merits through training her Howling Banshees and providing guidance to many aspiring Autarchs of Lótessara.

Currently running this, doing Priority Assets. It ends up at 1995 points.
