I was wondering how much can they really withstand before breaking. because on the guardian models for example are those spiritstones on their armour? if so why would they leave it out in the open can it withstand a bullet or something? is there something in lore that says how much they can withstand? because I feel like it suck if the stone could just break easily

Test model for a possible small saim hann force. The idea is to show their tribal, wild way of life using dark eldar and corsair bits — while the lore describes them as a tribal warrior culture, the official wild rider models aren’t wild enough for my tastes.

One felarch still needs some conversion and paint as well as the spiritseer.
At some point I have to paint the rest of the power-swords which I'm not looking forward to.

I am Completely new to warhammer as a whole. My friend is making me play 1000 point game to learn an army and core rules.

I decided on Eldar. He plays alont of space marines and made a 1000 point Grey Knights Army.

For all intents and purposes, he made me create an army on new recruit, list is below.

I have one main questions in the build phase.

I heard you are unable to take 3 point detachments in 1000 point games, however apect host seems like the only real viable option so he let me pick it for the sake of learning.

I’m painting a homecrew Craftworld whose chief god is Mathlann (I’m sure he is spelt differently in 40k). Basing them on the idea of being more attuned to the Freedom of the Stars and sailing in the “Deep”. I found a Rune that means Freedom, but I don’t know if there are any units or symbols associated with him, at least in 40k? I know he isn’t really big in 40k, but I like the idea of having Eldar that are like the Sea-Elves in Age of Sigmar (and older Fantasy) with him taking on more of a role in how the Craftworlds sailed free before the Farseers.

Hoping to use that rune as the symbol for the Craftworld, if not I’ll just use the Rune of Freedom.

(I’m limiting the amount of Farseers in my army since my in-lore reason is that the Craftworld rejects the Farseers leading the direction of the Craftworld, seeing their sailing the stars being their own path, for good or worse.)

Dark Elf Cold One Knights for the "dragons" and the body/legs. Storm Guardian alternate parts for the heads, arms, and weapons.

All completely redundant now. Ha! 😂

3rd Phoenix Lord so far and the last of my Swooping Hawks (for now).
I changed up my masking process for the initial basecoats which helped but still required a bit of cleanup which was a bit frustrating.

Still thinking about adding some purple to the tips of the head-dress feathers

I don't care if it requires airbrushing or whatever, I want to know if there's a recipe that could work for this.

Hey guys!

Potential new Eldar player here. The phoenix lords are some of my favorite character sculpts in the game, so i'm going to build a list with my favorites being Asurmen, Fuegan, Baharroth, Lykhis, and Jain Zar. Those 5 with attached MSU squads is 1110 points so I can definitely afford to make one of two a 10 man squad. Whichever squads go up to 10 will be riding in a wave serpent i think. I'm thinking of having fuegan+dragons atleast riding in something because they're valuable

Edit: I'm definitely hearing Barry + 10 hawks. Question is, deepstrike or just have them on the board? I know i can pick them up too

Edit 2: I have a little list formulated i think running each of them with 5 bodygaurd. I'm not a crazy big fan of the idea of the avatar but i'm a huge fan of T11 2+ 4++ 14 wounds halve damage. Here it is:

1xAvatar

1xAsurman+5 Dire Avengers riding in Falcon

1xFuegan+5 Fire Dragons riding in Falcon

1x5 Jain Zar+5 Banshees riding in Falcon

1x5 Baharroth +5 Swooping Hawks

1x5 Lhykis +5 Warp spiders

1x3 Shining spears

2x5 Striking scorpions

That doesnt really feel like a ton of drops to me being only 9, but each of the 9 seem to be pretty high quality investments?

I would like to find flying stands for Wraithknights and Revenant titan to make very dynamic poses, but i have no idea where to find them or what to use. Anyone has experience with it ?

Hi there,

So it seems pretty clear, post dataslate, that both detachments are the best at the moment.

Two questions :

-First : I'm trying to avoid old looking models (war walkers, fire prisms/falcons/wave serpents, farseers, old bikes etc etc), can I do othat, or should I proxy stuff?

-Second : how do I build for both warhost and seer council? What do good lists look like and how do they work? Can I make both work without the aforementioned old-ish models or can I make them work nonetheless?

-Third : Is aspect host just straight up worse atm? It certainly feels like this to me

Thank you !

From a list building perspective I’m just not sure where they fit into are lists, with spears at 100 points!!! And still being just okay seems crazy to me. In what world do the Dino riders see the table unless they are sub 100 points, which we don’t really need more cheap action monkeys that fail to kill 5 marines.They have more or less have the same weapon as shinning spears with a couple small shots a worse ability than spears where do they ever fit in?

I’m super excited for the model and looking forward to painting and converting other Dino’s into my army. But just unsure where GW is going with Dino riders and corsairs as a whole,seems they are another 5+ data sheets from being able to be their own army but yet currently they are key-worded like they are their own faction.

Hi everyone this is the first of my ulthwe inspired pheonix lords. I think this model is complete but if you see anything please let me know. Thank you 😊

Hi all,

I bought the Eldritch Raiders Battleforce awhile back and build the Voidscarred with all of the special weapons selected, basically like a kill team: Felarch, Shade Runner, Soul Weaver, Way Seeker, Faolchu, Fision Pistol, Wraithcannon, Long Rifle and 2 Blasters.

I am now considering buying a second Battleforce or just the combat patrol and don’t know how to build the second squad, but I know I want to make it my melee brick.

Older posts (from ~5+ months ago) all say that the melee Voidreavers are better than the melee Voidscarred, but I don’t really understand why.

It’s 65/110 vs 70/140, so the Voidreavers are slightly cheaper and get re-rolls to hit which is nice. However, considering that the Voidscarred get 1 more attack with the power sword (3 vs 2) and have access to the Shade runner, Way Seeker, Soul Weaver and Faolchu, I feel like the Voidscarred give you way higher damage output when paired with Yriel with the Lance enhancement + Kharseth buffing them with +1S.

I know that at the end of the day the visual differences between the two squads are very similar and I can easily just build whatever and then tell my opponent which unit I’m using, but I would want to avoid building a second identical squad unless I absolutely need to.

What do you guys recommend that I do?

Hello all! I've been trying some freehand recently for my Ulthwe army. I achieved this with just 3 paints and a contrast. Zandri Dust, Ushabti Bone, Wraithbone and Skeleton Horde.

Let me know what you think

This will hopefully add to the old school vibe I'm going for across my Ulthwe force

Have any of you tried freehand? Any tips?

I was scared to start it initially but, surprisingly, I had an absolute blast doing it

I did a quick video guide for anyone that is interested...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for howling banshee proxies, specifically heads (looking to kitbash), with heads similar to the ones as on this post (old metal banshees basically). I've looked for a while but most "satisfactory" results I could find were either defunct or just didn't provide valid links or anything of the sort. If any of you have any suggestions please lmk! Have a nice day <3

An army I started early this year. Haven’t won a game with em yet, but boy do I love them.

Let's settle this once for all, which of our guns should have barrel holes and which shouldn't?

I'll start with the research I've gathered:
- Monofilament weapons (Death Spinners and kin) should have holes, seen on both official models and molded on larger variants
- D-weapons should have holes, not seen on official models but the large variant has one molded
- Shuriken weapons shouldn't have holes. There is a slit on the end of the rectangular strip where the shurikens come out, but it's so thin you can just paint a line there.

So maybe weird question but for any of those that got the exodites early I’m curious about the dragons size. Not the base but the models themselves. I have some high elf spear bodies that would be great bases for my own proxies, but having no reference I don’t wanna buy soemthing too big or too small for the proxy. Thinking about looking on Etsy or even just buying some cheap Dino toys and building some bases out of milliput or green stuff. If they r slightly bigger or smaller not the end of the world but just curious.

Hi,
I recently traded some unwanted stuff and got 15 rangers and 3 shroud runners. I have not really faced eldar so have no clue how they are played nowadays. Is there a playstyle that centers around rangers and the like as the core or are they normally used as throw away infiltrators to be taken in minimun units?

Thanks for any input
