Shining Spears
/
Warhammer 40,000 – Shining Spears were once a nightmare for some players to face. I think they’ve been toned down well enough that you won’t get the side eye putting them on the table.
Warlocks - Finally in Plastic
/
Warhammer 40,000 – A new book means new units for existing armies, it’s one of the rules of the universe. Aeldari players can rejoice that more of their line is being updated to plastic.
Eldar Avatar of Khaine
/
Warhammer 40,000 – The Forgeworld Avatar is a pretty nice model. The molten details come across really well in resin. This particular project is for a Biel-Tan force that I’ll probably have a few additional elements to paint.
Blue and Gold - Eldar Finished
/
Warhammer 40,000 – This batch of models completes a good size force of space elves. A pretty simple color scheme at my basic level can get a nice looking army of the table quickly. This is ideal for players that want to get those 10 points for being fully painted in ninth edition without breaking the bank.
Eldar - Space Elves
/
Warhammer 40,000 – Eldar are in a weird place. Last edition they gained access to some really broken mechanics that allowed them to mix three books willy-nilly and activate units more times than their opponents. At the end of the edition it was apparent that these mechanics were bad for the game and the pointy-earred fiends were beaten into submission with a nerf bat.
I honestly have yet to play against them in the current edition but my guess is much like any of the books that have been updated, Eldar are going back to single faction lists with a focus on their craft-worlds. Which makes sense and brings that game back to a spot where more people are comfortable with army composition and list building rewards being thematic.
Alaitoc Aeldari - Craftworld Mono Faction?
/
Warhammer 40,000 – I haven’t painted Eldar very often, in fact I can’t remember the last time I put paint to a pointy eared space elf. My most recent project is a fairly large Alaitoc force, you know the -1 to hit flavor of Eldar. Oddly enough this for contains zero rangers. I don’t understand how it is the sneaky faction wears bright yellow helmets but whatever I’ll chalk it up to alien shenanigans.
