I'm just getting ready for the first of an extended weekend of games, battling over the frigid World of Helcaraxë IV.

It is an isolated system on the edge of the Damocles Gulf; Astra Militarum forces have been skirmishing with the Ork raiders and Tau scouting forces in this system, like in many others.

But now a shadow in the warp presages the arrival of the Tyrannic Threat, and the host of Ailonwë steps forth from hidden portals, fearing what the Hive Mind might achieve *(against Asuryani and Mon-Keigh alike)* if it is allowed to claim this poorly defended system's biomass.

For the full might of the Human military is far away, dealing with Chaos incursion and with Leviathan itself, leaving only token forces, and larger Craftworlds turn their eyes to concomitantly greater threats.....

So it is that Astalla Elestirnë, chief Farseer of Ailonwë, rouses the militias and celebrates the coronation of the Young King, hoping to blunt this small tendrils ere it grows to be a mortal peril to her home.

--------

My army is the largest ive been able to field in a while now due to time constraints, so im being a little silly and going for theme; Astalla (Eldrad) leads storm guardians and a conclave, while Yelind (Khar'seth, as a normal farseer) leads a smaller conclave and some defenders. Meanwhile Shining Spears, Warp Spiders and Shroud Runners range forth ahead of the main host, seeking targets for Vaul's Twins to bring their crystalline fury upon, and a small cadre of Voidsreavers, leant at cost from the Stardust Crusaders, prepare their blades.

And above all the molten gaze of the Bloody Handed One burns, seeking to shake his murderous thirst on the enemies of the Eldar.

Most interesting to me personally: they decided to clear up the lore confusion about whether Exodites live on Maiden Worlds or not by just going with them living on Maiden Worlds that just happen to go against their original description and are dangerous and savage.

Slightly more elegant than the "unfinished" Maiden Worlds the last Codex decided to go with. But still feels like it goes the Exodite's entire philosophy, they want to leave the trappings of the old empire behind after all it feels unthematic to live on what is one of the greatest examples of its power and reach. Also doesn't give a reason as to why it specifically has to be Maiden Worlds they decided to settle, the world spirit would not have exited pre-Fall Maiden world or not.

Still, awesome to see this much new Exodite lore!

I like playing with fluorescents. Anyway, enjoy!

Spent some time today using the new Exodite templates to knock out some sculpts of the terrain. I added some power nodes and large gems to give a little more flavor but I have sculpts with out them as well. Running test prints now and if they work I will try and find somewhere to toss them up for others.

Me and friend were inspired by 2024's WarpGala created by Mixuen and her friends. We ended up with the brainworms.

It's basically an event where you draw an OC or canon character enjoying a religious festival.

But i thought that just a plain party/celebrity event wouldn't match the Aeldari vibe. So i talked with a few Aeldari loremasters and came up with this "Homebrew Event". Something on the level of a Sanguinala, but clearly an Aeldari event of it's own.

I went the extra mile to make a bunch of drawings and very verbose texts. This shouldn't be just a simple event announcement, It needs to be a gorgeous invitation. (I even made an layout for Q&A!!!!)

(I don't use Reddit that much, idk if this type of post is allowed by the mods, but i really wanted to share this)

So I painted my first windriders bikes today, now looking for some help. I'm not sure if I like the red stripes on it or leave it blank really letting the blue/green be the focus (Green highlights do not show up clearly).

I'm looking for some opinions.

So after playing 6 games, 2 in 10th and 4 in 11th I have found the fact that the Spiritseer healing triggers at the command phase and not the end of the movement phase really sucks!

Especially if they are paired with Wraithblades. Because the spiritseers don't attach charging them into the same fight as the blades basically is a death sentence. But unless I have positioned perfectly the distance the blades charge puts them outside the 6" range of the healing. And while they are durable being able to return a model before my fight phase is a pretty big deal.

The two enhancements from Spirit Conclave, Kurnous and the Mists at least have 12" range even if they do trigger it on command phase. I wish there was a way to move the Spiritseer after the blades charge. I honestly would love to have bonesingers back or some kind of leader/support for wraiths.

I think Wraiths are pretty decent at the moment with the healing 6" range being the worst issue. The Spirit Conclave rule not really benefiting the wraithguard/blades is another. This is due to their psyker buff being a +1 to hit already instead of an increase to BS/WS like the Lord's is.

I think the healing should be 8" range as that covers a slightly above average charge but still punishes for those extra long greedy charges. Moving it to movement phase would work but removes the ability to add a model to avoid battle shock. Which is honestly a crappy tradeoff with how impactful battle shock can be in 11th.

Changing the wraithguard/blades psyker buff to increase their BS/WS respectively would make getting a token, Ie sacrificing a psyker much more important. I would accept a slight point increase if they got this change too.

Outside of that I am really enjoying them in 11th. I have gone 3-1 in my four games. Barely winning thanks to points and lucky rolls. Preparing for a GT in mid Aug.

What do you guys think?

I have tried 2 methods now to get this to look good in white. But the long curvy unbroken nature of the vehicle just makes the white look terrible. I wanna do a classic vans black and white checker print scheme for my Quins, but how do I make the star weaver not look horrible? Weathering? Washes? Please help!!

Took way longer than anticipated but the heatwaves were not kind

Just headswaps onto corsairs.

I covered her face as Visor.

finally beat this game after awhile. took me 2 days to defeat every faction and get the cutscenes that show when you beat the faction. love taldeer i want to paint some of my eldar as Ulthwé now, i wish she had a model

Still working on my meme Army

GW finally did the thing and released printable (paper, guys c'mon.) Exodite terrain! And there's multiple terrain types too!! I imagine the Exodite book will have lore for all of the different types of terrain since they all have different names.

Newish to Eldar, and I've had a few games of Seer Council playing Priority Assets. I know the warlock guardian brick is traditionally an auto-take with Seer Council, but I feel like it is not well suited for a Priority Assets build.

I'm considering maybe a warlock conclave to protect Eldrad and be easier to hide, and save the guardians or other trash just to throw OC at the center obj?

I might be missing something here, so any thoughts are welcome!

When communication with Wraith constructs is described it is usually some sort of spirit communion by Spiritseers or other psykers.

But I am curious, can Wraiths just plainly talk with some sort of voice modulator unit and hear and understand others' speech? I'd assume talking with a Wraith like that will be somewhat to conversing with a human with a moderate dementia, as they struggle to keep track of the discussion, but still.

Alternatively, do normal Aeldari without psycher training have enough of a psychic potential to commune with a Wraith?

So can, say, an Aspect warrior sit with his now-dead friend in a Wraithguard by the campfire and share some stories, or do they need Spiritseer as an interpreter?

Hey everyone!

I’m a long time 40K player who has just picked up the Aeldari corsairs Battleforce really cheap, and so excited to start my space elf army!

I know they’re very much a steep learning curve, and I’m not looking to chase the meta or even win necessarily - just want to build a cool, thematic space elf pirate army!

I’m really keen to lean into the melee side of it with some Howling Banshees (models I’ve loved since 3rd Ed) and Storm Guardians to support my Corsairs, and try to use their mobility to do hit-and-run attacks - does anyone have any general advice?Also, is Devoted to Ynnead any good? I like the look of the Incubi, wytches and raiders to give me some extra melee options.

Like I said, not looking to metagame, but just want to make that style of list workable and not immediately get tabled 😂

Thanks in advance!

I love the new figures but I really like bows

I want to make all my eldar helmets like this with the recessed mono visor type look but there's the problem of the eye holes in the basic helmets on defenders. Would it be better to use liquid greenstuff or miliputt to fill the eye holes to help create this smooth look?

This month I turned the Corsair Combat Patrol, and Skyreaver kit I got on deep discount:

- 10 x Swooping Hawks

- 5 Fire Dragons

- Eldrad

- 2 x Warlock Conclave

- 1 random Ranger

- Wave Serpent

All made possible by keeping a bits box from all the left over Eldari bits.
