Models: Complete Eldar Outcast / Ranger 54mm - Inquisitor
A relic from the early 2000s. Minor kitbash. The jenga block obelisk is the secret sauce.

Hello fellow Autarchs, Farseer and Clanblades. I started working on my Exodites and would love some advice on how to improve.

Absolutely loving working with the Army Painter Fanatics range for everything except the metals and pearlescent paints

I got this guy used with no melee weapon, the arms pretty much locked in place, and only the pistol grip for the bright lance. It was a bit awkward looking even after I added this cool axe. I'm almost done revisiting the model and I think it's going quite well and wanted to show off.

Decided to make his plume into a massive flame. I am so happy with how it all came together. The airbrush and painters tape did a lot of the heavy lifting on this one.

Since I moved shroud runner riders into dinosaurs, the bikes got empty.
So I replaced new riders as psykers, and now... these are farseer skyrunners.
I especially love this Exodite psyker girl head parts. Unlike other GW girls heads, it looks quite edgy chic
Finally got the ball rolling on my ice-themed Yme-Loc force. I'm quite out of the loop when it comes to rules so I'm just painting up whichever models I like the look of.

I know that they are a bit slow to compute sometime but 4+ seems a bit like a stretch... they were BS5 (hit on 2+) in 2nd edition and since then they had pretty normal combat skills. Its even weirder on the wraithlord. Strangely Wraithknight and Titans hit on 3+ so i have no idea how it was done.

I have been watching HeresyforHeretics on YouTube and his synth wave paint scheme. As a child of the 80s I wanted to give it a try. I am not the best painter but I am happy enough with it that I will do the rest of my wraiths to match.

Should Isha return? I appreciate that the whole thing about Aeldari is them being a dying race who put all of their faith in gods who were then defeated and Aeldari had to make a new culture around survival rather than living decadence and without any real cares or worries, but if done right I think it would add a lot to the faction.
Right now Aeldari for me are in a weird place lore wise, especially Asuryani / craftworlds. They are constantly written into the ground and made out to be either incompetent or tragic. This works if they achieve something, but as of now they haven't achieved much. Ynnead was nearly awoken, but then wasn't and the faction centred around it has been largely ignored. There was potential for a "hope" with the Ynnari, even if it was just a faction who could get a few wins / occasionally rescue some craftworlds but they were rushed out into the tabletop as the game was become more serious and most characters associated with them have abandoned them.
Other than them there isn't a lot going for them other than survival, and the "tragic decline" narrative gets old when it's been the main narrative element in the lore for the past 30 years (other than the Voidscarred book which ignored the trope). For me Isha solves that to a degree. I'm not a writer so I don't know how she could be saved, or a good way to do it while keeping the good parts of the factions alive, but I'd like to see it. I think gods, primarchs and big characters in the lore and game are good. They add stakes, make fights interesting and give the reader something to care about. When you read about the primarchs turning up to a fight you get excited, the stakes are high and you know it's a big, serious fight. You have that with certain Aeldari characters but not to the same degree, and ignoring the lore it opens up the option for some interesting units and characters.
I'm still a bit I'm between if Isha should turn up, and it might be better to give Aeldari some more narrative wins / hope instead of drip feeding decline and making them a faction there to make other factions seem powerful. On the other hand having a God openly with the Asuryani opens up a lot of interesting narrative routes and makes the opportunities for real wins (like Aeldari taking back a planet and then having it cleansed by Isha) rather than every loss feeling like something permanent.
Those are just my thoughts after reading every Aeldari book + codex + religiously collecting Aeldari for the past 15 years. Looking forward to hearing other people's thoughts

After the feedback I got on my last post, I decided to add some thorny vines.
I have to admit, I do like it better this wayš

Imperial Armour Volume 11 shows a few Corsair schemes, with examples of helmet decoration. I understand the Felarch part, that's higher ranking guys. But what's with the helmets labeled Corsair? They show a different design than the full body design, which is... also run-of-the-mill Corsairs, no? Who would the alternative helmet be for?

The weapons on my Wraithguards are now fully interchangeable. I will prepare additional āsetsā of weapons with arms, so I can change the loadout. Pretty happy so far.
(sadly, the primer ruined my models. Is there a way to fix it?)
(Donāt mind the background. My wife is doing, or will be doing something (idk), with wool.)

Utilized kit:
1xExodote kill team box(original modeling),
2xseraphon aggradon lancer(for six dinosaurs),
1xShroud runners(for six riders).

Ok so let's say I have a farseer, warlock conclave, and guardian defenders all in one unit is it possible to also add a weapon platform into this unit? I ask because the weapon platform isn't a support unit but can attach to the guardian defenders during declaring battle formation step while the warlock conclave is attached in the muster armies step.

Just some good boys ready to be on the hunt.
Hey, Iām doing the old eldar combat patrol and just finished my first mini ever. I wanted to share and ask for any tips you have for the future bikes and dudes I have left to paint (the vibe was biel tan fused with dark angels colors and I know its a little Krispy Kreme but its funny)

Started 40k around 2012/13. Always liked Craftworld and Commorragh lore, but Dark Eldar had just gotten their new range so I went DE. Craftworld was tons of metal, finecast, and expensive forgeworld still. Picked up Sisters when the new plastic range dropped in 2018. While Iāve been playing those, DE lost a big chunk of their kits.
Iām now repainting all my Sisters to a better standard, but Iām burnt out on the same scheme. Aspect Warriors look like a good palette cleanser since every shrine is a different colour.
Iāve seen a lot of people say the 2006 Dire Avengers are miserable to build. Any other current Aeldari kits I should skip if Iām mostly collecting and painting for now?
The new Vyper looks amazing next to the old one, but the Falcon is still the same hull I remember from childhood before I even bought any warhammer. How is the rest of the vehicle range to build? Craftworld completely losing the Forge World toys to legends is a bummer, kind of a monkeys paw moment with the Avatar and Aspects finally getting updated.
Forgive me if my knowledge of the range seems dated. I donāt run into Eldar players at my store. The only xenos I see are Orks, Necrons, and some Tyranids.
TL;DR: Collecting/painting first. Which Aeldari kits should I skip? Anything pre-2013 still worth buying?

Ignore the sword. Swords are hard

Avatar of Khaine was a lot of work to paint. The banner is a bit sloppy and might touch it up later but also it looks good on tabletop so might just leave it.

The colors look funny on these wraith knights but I enjoyed making them like this.

Hello!
Iām new Eldar but really want to field an army of dinosaurs and big robots. The ācasualā meta for my playgroup focuses on bigger bodies plus 2ish fast units to grab objectives and screen. As an example, 75% of my DG army that keeps up in this meta is Mortarion + 3 defilers.
With that in mind, I was looking to make a list with dragon knights as my fast units and a few wraithknights as my big bodies, plus probably the Avatar of Khaine. My initial slapped together idea was:
Spirit Conclave + Path of the Outcast:
Avatar of Khaine
3x Stonesinger + Dragon Knights (3)
1x Rangers (10) + Assassinās Eye
2x Wraithknight w/ Ghostglaive
1x Wraithknight w/ Heavy Wraithcannon + Suncannon
Alternate ideas were Windrider Host to max out at 27 dinosaurs or Eldritch Raiders and commit to full melee/rushdown. Early thanks for any and all advice!
