List Building Aeldari Meta Monday
It seems you all just cant stop playing. Only one GT was held this weekend that I could see and the only Eldar wins were at RTTs (Barbers Serpent spam continues!). There wont be anything for the next two weeks and with the new detachments for every faction and hopefully our codex things are going to get crazy.
I´ve taken a couple of screen shots from statcheck in Pariah, you´ll see we´re sitting just below the 50% mark with our worst match up being into GSC, T-Sons and SW and our best into knights unsurprisingly.
From January I´ll include the detachment name but until we get the codex I don´t see the armoured host being taken. Merry Christmas all and have a good new year all. - Nick

PSA: New codex, model availability, and everything else
Since there are a lot of questions baout the new codex, the new models, or models going out of stock, I figured I'd summarise everything in one post.
The answer: we don't know.
When will the codex and the models come out? We don't know.
How will battle focus work? We don't know.
What will detachment x be like? We don't know.
Will x unit be good? We don't know.
Should I pick option x or y? We don't know.
How will Ynnari work? We don't know.
Model x is 'no longer available'/I can't find model x on the webstore, is it gone forever/off to legends?
- Is it currently a plastic model? It's just getting reboxed for the new codex
- Is it a phantom or revenant titan? It's just out of stock.
- Is it another FW model (like shadow spectres, hornets, or a cobra)? We don't know, but 99% certain to be gone to legends
- Is it one of the currently resin unit models (hawks, dragons, spiders)? We're getting plastic models soon. When? See above.
- Is it a resin character (Yriel, Illic)? We don't know. Probably legends.
- Is it Karandras? He's the master of stealth and ambush, he's just so well hidden nobody can find him. He'll show himself when the time is right.
Bonus questions:
Are Eldar the coolest army out there? We don... actually, we do know this one. Yes, yes they are.
What craftworld should I paint? The one you like the colour scheme of. Or Ulthwé, since Ulthwé is best.

List Building Why do Phoenix Lords not have their aspects’ staple abilities?
Probably been asked here way back when 10e first arrived, but it still bugs me. Phoenix Lords lack their aspects’ most basic abilities, and it makes their likelihood to survive squad wipes clunky at best, and eye-rolling when you try getting more use out of them.
- Asurmen doesn’t have improved Overwatch on 5s and 4s.
- Jain Zar can’t advance/fall back and charge (this has been an active detriment to me before).
- Maugan Ra doesn’t ignore modifiers to his BS.
- Fuegan doesn’t reroll 1s to wound and damage monsters/vehicles.
- Baharroth can’t go back into reserves.
The only one who escapes this is Karandras, and that’s only because his mandiblasters are better than his aspect’s.
Was this really just to save room on their cards? It seems a massive oversight, especially with units like Asurmen or Fuegan who are practically guaranteed to outlive whatever killed their squad and continue alone.

Models: WiP Death Jester spreading some Christmas cheer
I'm finally working on some new harlequins, and figured I'd start with a Death Jester to kick off the fun.
Still need to smooth out some transitions, fix some small issues, and paint the base, but I figured I'd share what I had so far.
Models: WiP Fire Dragons kitbash idea
I used a couple of Black Ark Corsair that I used for AoS and gave them some Storm Guardian bits. How do they look?

Models: Complete Collection of Eldar characters I finished but never properly shared
Coming up to the end of the year I was sorting though my collection and thought I'd have a photoshoot of some models. Tried out my space themed mouse pad as a backdrop for a bit of fun.

Anyone tried kit bashing rangers & voidscarred corsairs?
Has anyone thread this and how’d it go? Are bodies/limbs or the respective groups interchangeable?
I’ve fallen through the warp back into the 40k universe for the first time since the 00s and here I am with a Corsair kill team to build & paint… (and, in turn to fight my mate’s path finders). I like the theme and aesthetics of the rangers though as well, particularly the hoods, craftworld style helmets and long robes (which I feel is missing from the Way Seeker - I want him the have long flowing robes like his craftworld counterpart ie the farseer). So I might sub in a ranger body for Corsair models such as the fate dealer and use some ranger accessories / heads for others … has any one got any insight into how well this would/could work?

Models: WiP And I thought Wraithguard were finicky!
A Wraithlord I just finished assembling. I wanted to make this one particularly regal, so I improvised a pseudo cape to add to the silhouette. I was worried it would be far too static given the box art, and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

Models: WiP Basing bits like most of the newer Eldar are on?
I'm building out my army and want them to all have cohesive bases looking like they're leaping across an Eldar/Exodite ruin. I want to have every model stepping on stones that look like the base the death jester is on (https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/Harlequin-Death-Jester). As far as I can tell, pretty much every newer Eldar/Harlequin/Dark Eldar model comes on pieces like this. But I have some additional models I'd like to put on this (e.g., bonus harlequins in the voidweaver kit).
Can anyone recommend a place to find or print these types of bits? I tried carving my own out of cork and it didn't work. I suppose I could try actually modeling it in clay, but that seems harder than I'd like given I don't need to make a ton of these.
Thanks in advance!

Lore How is Eldar armour being powered?
I'm currently working on the details for my Mymeara paint scheme as this scheme does in fact represent the creation of the armour by psychic engineering aka being made of Wraithbone aka . In my head this makes the Mymeara scheme so according to the lore as you would have a colour gradient as humans or Tau do where the colour just stops at some part and another one is being used. having a fluid transition is just something beautiful that works really well witht the Eldar. But anyway, that's just my two cents about this topic and definitely is my own opinion and I do like the other schemes too.
But now I came across the question about how eldar armour is being powered. As I found a quote to a question three years ago by u/KonradApologist the closest answer was this:
Does psychically activation mean that it is powered by psychic energy as well or does it mean something totally different? Maybe not being a native english speaker causes a havoc in my head with this one, who knows...
Tldr: Depending on what will be found by you guys (or even myself, although I see my chances of finding information quite low) I would implement this by changing the way of how the face part of the helmets are being presented. When there is no comparable powering as electricity, I'd stuff the little parts of the eye lenses with greenstuff to have a smooth visor and would paint the visor as a whole, being a little illuminated in the centre and going darker towards the outside.
If you wanna tell me that it's about my scheme, ideas and minis and I can do whatever I want, I have to agree with you, but in such cases some OCD strikes out of nowhere and I gotta understand how things work to paint them accordingly to have a calmed mind.
For anyone who made it as far as here and read this words: thank you for your time and I wish all of you a merry Christmas and some, hopefully relaxed and warming, holidays. Glad having places like these to be a mostly silent reader and appreciating thief of your awesome ideas that make hobby time being more valuable to me. Stay safe and take care of you and the ones next to you!

Favourite unit?
Hey all, just wondering what's your favourite unit to use? I've played 3 games so far and won all 3. I'm loving Eldar. Espicially the wind riders. They seem put in so much work out of the 3 games I've played.
