Auspex : "Here are the lists to start eldar army" Me : "Ok, I'll get the Wraithknight"

*We move through them like a blade through air* (Eldar had some of the coolest Dawn of War 1 quotes imo)

It’s a shame that so many of the competitive models are either discontinued and near impossible to obtain or resin models. GW knows that they’re strong but refuses to update their kits. Its so uncanny seeing Aeldari get shafted in the lore and model release but having the strongest game rules

I just started an Aeldari army this week. It does feel like a faction where just buy what you think looks cool, and you'll be able to have good casual games regardless of what units you have. Also a very good army for custom paint schemes.

Thanks for the shoutout Auspex your a legend 😉😎

The start collecting box for Eldar is very very good.

I would do a Squad of 5 of each aspect warriors + each unique characters of those. Just for collection or painting. Maybe the Avatar and a Farseer on bike.

I think it’d be fun to see an auspex tactics battle report, where he doesn’t show his face, of course

PancreasnoWork must be excited

I have my Combat Patrol and a box of Dire Avengers. It is my first army and I'm learning to paint too. I do love my space elves. Expanding is difficult - because I'm learning to paint, I'm not doing Harlequins yet, even though they are cool. So maybe the new Striking Scorpions and a tank next. I'm just doing rule of cool, thematic is more important than meta. So I think I'll get the Dark Eldar CP because the value for those crazy boats and an Ynarri force. Wraiths and a Spirit Seer?

You are the best. I just decided yesterday that I want to start Aeldari 😄

Thanks for the shout out :) Love your content

For those who intends to seriously get into Craftworlds from the start I actually recommend waiting a year or two until their 2nd wave of plastic refresh comes, which is basically guaranteed to come in this edition.

I actually just started my Aeldari army, and I’m going the full blown Saim-Hann route with a ton of bikes. Current 3000 point list I’m working towards is: an Avatar of Khaine an Autarch an Autarch Skyrunner (proxying a Shining Spear Exarch cuz the Skyrunner model be old) a Farseer Skyrunner a Spiritseer a Warlock 3 units of Defenders 3 6-man units of Shining Spears a 9-man unit of Windriders a 3-man Warlock Skyrunner Conclave a 10-man unit of Ghostaxe Wraithblades 2 Wave Serpents and a Webway Gate.

Thanks for the vid! Just got a combat patrol box and the index cards...I'm coming back into 40k from 2nd and 3rd edition.....whew...ALOT has changed...jeesh....

I've barely gotten into the hobby, but the list I'm planning (more thematic than competitive) is; Autarch + Fate's Messenger, in Storm Guardians Jain Zar + Howling Banshees Howling Banshees Fire Dragons Shroud Runners 2 x Corsair Voidscarred Wave Serpent 2 x Falcons Hemlock Wraithfighter 2 x Crimson Hunters 2 x Dark Reapers 2 x War Walkers (Until the next balances, this is 1995pts) Basically, its a supposed to be a combined arms sort of army, a decent mix of infantry, tanks, indirect fire, air support, though in retrospect, I should probably make more room psykers.

You should buy whatever you want, do you want to be the guy who turns up with 2 wraithknights or 3 fire prisms every game or do you want a nice assortment of (frankly) beautiful minis? I'd always recommend the latter

I haven't played anything yet. But I've been collecting and painting and plan to start playing later in the year when painting is finished. I don't know if this is good at all but here is my collection: 2 wave serpents* 2 wraithlords* 10 guardians* 10 storm guardians 10 voidreavers 10 voidscarred 10 howling banshees 10 dire avengers 10 rangers 5 wraithguard* 5 wraithblades* 2 autarchs 1 jain zar 1 asurman 2 farseers 2 spiritseers 2 warlocks 12 jetbikes* 6 shroudrunners 1 fire prism* 1 webspinner* * marked units are magnetised for build options. I would like to add two more wave serpents and increase the guardian units to twenty. Outside of that not sure I would add much. Maybe a wraithknight. Some reapers or striking scorpions in falcons. No idea. I just collected what I thought looked cool. Going with the idea that this is a small aeldari fleet that hires corsairs for extra muscle.

I dont care what anyone says, I love my Yme Loc Storm Guardians

As a T'au fan, I really love the Eldar version of mechs, the various types of Wraith units. They look so cool! I want to build a Wraith list. From what I've seen, they're great in this edition, and having the Spiritseers to boost blocks of Wraithguards is a must have. I'm thinking like 3 block of Wraithguard with a Spiritseers each, a couple Wraithlords, and some Wraithblades perhaps

I'm busy with an Iyanden army for Epic. Always loved Eldar. Haven't played 40K in many years, always been kinda tempted but GW never make things easy

Anyone here play rites of war? My introduction to 40k and how I fell in love with the eldar.

I play Aeldari for a long time now, not my main army but I like them. I always go full Biel-tan style. Autarch with wings as commander, 1 Avatar of Khaine and then Aspect Warriors, each aspect at least once, those that need it with serpent. Maybe, just maybe, also with Ynnead, because it´s an Avatar. I lose most of the times, but I enjoy it. A white dwarf back then where Black Templars fought against Biel Tan Eldar was what brought me into the Eldar.

Remember, Fire Prisms/Night Weavers and other Eldar stuff is GW Direct, so you can't get em offline and most discount websites will only have them for full price or thereabouts.

What is the rule on Proxy figures for Phoenix Lords? I've seen some really cool alternatives online and since the original sculpts are old AND hard to come by I was thinking of finding some proxys for them.

GW thinks the can stop me from making a Corsairs army by locking them behind a boarding patrol and a kill team, rather than just making a regular kit. Little do they know that the dreams of pirates never die.

i made a funny 2.5k list for eldar, i would love to use this on my brother ahha bonesinger with weeping stone, bonesinger with fates messenger, farseer, farseerskyrunner, guardian defenders (whatever platform gun is cool i like anti infantry here specificly) and a phantom titan titanic ghostglaive and phantom pulsar :b

Only eldar mini i have is Maugan Ra since hes one of my favourite characters in the setting. One day i will make a little army surrounding him.

anyone know where i can find a competition list to start collecting?

Aeldari competitive lists in a nutshell: Yncarne, Fire Prisms, Night spinners, Warp Spiders and Asurmen or Fuegan. Fill the rest with Wraiths or Seers. :D Personally I'm more of a collector so I have a bit of everything and probably no synergies at all. I just buy the models I like :')

You don't start an Aeldari army, the Aeldari army starts you

You wait until combat patrol launches in 1 year and wait another until they reach the knife ears

My favorite faction! I just wish it had more female HQ options...

I'm still trying to get to 2k points with Tyranids, so I'm not trying mew armies ATM. I'll probably start collectind Eldar (and Votann) with the upcoming Combat Patrol Magazine, premium sub and all.

I picked up the Death Jester, Troupes, and Void/Star Weaver to start my army, I want the mobility of the Eldar without the over powered meta units. Anything that is TOO good will get the nerf bat hard eventually.

I managed to get a great deal on defenders for £25

Let's see. Unit of 10 wraithknigjts with seer, 3 night spinners, a few units of warp spiders for secondaries and that big teleporting god thing. Yeah that pretty much does it.

I bummed GW switched from Biel Tan to Saim-Hann for the box art...I liked having a mostly unique Eldar army...now everybody runs Saim-Hann. Gonna have to paint shit blue and go Ranger army.

Hey guys I want to start an harlequin army. Any tips ?

Step 1: Acquire Wraithguard Step 2: Use Fate Dice Step 3: ???? Step 4: PROFIT

Step 1: wraithguard Step 2: Spiritseer Step 3: Sell both and get the Avatar of Khaine Step 4: Win every match

Best way to start an aeldari army will be on second hand markets 15 days from now 🙃

Unfortunately, GW decided that the coolest thing about Ynnari, which was the triumvirate, can be used in the same way in Craftworlds, which is quite disappointing and also goes against the lore.

I started collecting a harlequin army in 10e bc of gw removing them from being their own faction

New HQs inbound this year

In my opinion no one uses Aeldari like Aeldari. It seems to be common to use swarm tactics with Jetbikes and wraith units. I personally think wraiths are overused. Basically it’s more meta gaming which has its place in tournaments but for casual players or people trying to learn the game, this direction is sort of just not fun.

I'm curious as to why GW changed Eldar name to Aeldari?

New year new army I guess…

I have a necron army. I want to start an aeldari army because reasons......

not even gonna watch before posting this how i started was with ah wouldnt it be funny to have a pink wraithknight

Speak of the devil, i was just searching this question

How to start aeldari: just wait for their refresh please

Step 1- Wait for a full range of new sculpts Step 2-...

Be careful starting an eldar I've a massive eldar army and my friend wount play against me if I use them as he cannot win cos eldar just to good ha ha

Add a comment...

I haven't painted eldar models since oct 2023. Mainly because I now realize that the setting of 40k has nothing to offer me. Warhammer 40k revolves soley around the imperium. In terms of lore Imperium players get the entire pie 🥧 and non imperium players get to eat the crumbs at the bottom. It's like tipping a waiter a nickel, i mean it's better than nothing but what the fuck am I supposed to do with a nickel? I'm not invested in the setting anymore because 99% of the time when my favorite faction shows up they get thier ass pounded by the writers. I'm now more interested in Corvus Beli infinity and Yu Jing. Corvus beli has its poster boys Pan Oceania, but they make it very clear that Yu Jing is looming over them while Pan O is a house of cards waiting to fall apart. Pan O is afraid of Yu Jing while the imperium in 40k isn't afraid of anything except for maybe the necrons if they all wake up. The imperium of man doesn't have a rival empire thet can threten them of a substantial level because the imperium is so huge.

Another tip is Don't

Used to have thousands of points worth of eldar, the most specialised army in 40k, unlike marines where everything is a generalists mess of T4/S4/3+save, you have to work together to win, you have to make sacrifice units, everything needs to work together with a back up or you just lose horribly, I've no clue how they function in the current day, I might have a read over the new codex sometime... you know what, I'll go on wahpedia and actually have a look at it. Looked at it.. what have they done to my game.. it's been butchered!, oh well... I had a full list of things to say and most is no longer applicable, the new FOC style makes me think the game was re-written in a way to appeal to the simple minded, field what you want, we don't care!. Oh well.. at least the box sets are still scams and not something you should ever buy to start eldar with, if you want aim for balance, don't go too far in one direction, aim for something like 3 units of dire avengers and 3 half squads of rangers for bodies, the rangers for harass, sacrifice and bait, the avengers for simple firepower and capture. Then aim for what you want to shoot with such as a squadron 2-4 of war walkers with scatter lasers and a half unit of dark reapers with a missile launcher is a lot of firepower, with a back up of banshee's for counter attacks if they are melee focused, scorpions will do too, you can even use them as threatening infiltrators even if they won't really do that much damage... a lot of players tend to go I see there for I charge/shoot wasting a turn on sacrifice units. For quick units to back up the dire avengers and revenge troops for the poor rangers... harlequins and warp spiders work very well with their ability to bounce around, I'd even say a unit of shining spears could go well but I always saw them as a fun unit than really worth it. After you get all this it's just really down to your personal play style, I preferred foot eldar far more than tanks but a falcon with fire dragons is a mandatory tank hunter unit for how well it does it's job... the new stuff past 5th ed I don't know much about, but even then, tried and true would still likely do all the work you need.

First you must signed up on Grindr...
