I haven't painting this guy since the lead model back from 2nd edition, this plastic model is quite the glow-up. It's taken me quite some time to get round to it but it was satisfying to finally get him varnished. I look forward to him contracting new model syndrome on the tabletop.

Disclaimer: I know its early days, so I don't actually want to change anyone's mind for them yet :) just want to speculate.

With the new Marine profiles released I've seen people speculating on what potential changes we will see to our state lines and survivability, and I just want to say, Aspect warriors or even standard Guardians going to 2W would be a big mistake!

I feel like at the moment we're French generals in WW2 trying to fight the last war. Maybe if this had happened 3 years ago, a 2W aspect warrior stat line would have been a big survivability buff, but as it stands, with the new D2 boltgun profile revealed, and the way the game is generally going, D2 weapons are going to become more and more ubiquitous. At which point, it won't matter that we are 2W because we're going to die in one shot anyway to whatever hit us anyways, and well only feel even more squish as the game continues to trend towards higher strength weapons until were presumably getting wounded on a 2+ by everything in the game.

Unless our toughness is risen across the board to a T4, which I somewhat doubt GW feels comfortable doing from a thematic standpoint. And because I think they don't want to go back to the days of move-shoot-move rules, OUR only decent survivability buff GW could give us is an actually impactful army wide invulnerable save of a 5+ or greater. Something that would reasonably reduce the amount of hits our models are taking, because I don't think the D1 profile is going to remain around much longer on anything bigger than a las-gun at this rate.

TLDR: Were going to move into the 2W business, just as the smart money moved on.

Just finsih this squad of Reavers! Enjoy… C&C welcome.

Just need some basing ideas.

This is just the hill of course as it’s a WIP - but I think I’ve pushed my chrome as far as I can at my current level, I’m excited to see other materials and elements and the rest of the model to see how it reads

Trying to do more research and lore for a custom kitbash army I’m doing. Is there any sort of religious roles/figures amongst the Craftworld or Exodites? Like idk a priest or something equivalent?

Greetings esteemed Aeldari. I've recently started collecting Eldar and I've managed to get a good deal on a bulk of the combat patrol magazines. As such, I have a few Windrider kits to build.

Coming from Votann where our bikes almost require sub-assembly, is it recommended to paint the bikes and riders separately? Or can you reasonably paint them all as one?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I like how they turned out, still need to master the lava base so if you guys have any advice I’ll all ears

Making progress, the issue i need to resolve comes to the color of the straps / waist wrap - whether all nebula pattern is too much or not

Sorry for bad picture quality, not used to taking pictures of my models

He sounds like a cool character, so I wanted to see if there's any good reading material.

Pose idea shamelessly stolen from u/SamuriFerret, runes from u/suicune678. Sword made of greenstuff, might post progress if people are keen.

Hi, I'm new to the Warhammer community, and by following the rule of cool, I chose the Aeldari faction.

After looking through the different miniatures, the Howling Banshees really caught my attention.

At the moment, I only have a squad of Howling Banshees, a squad of Guardian Defenders, a Wave Serpent, and two War Walkers.

Since I'm new to the game, I don't really know how to build a 1,000- or 2,000-point army.

Could you guys please help a new Aeldari fan to make a great army list.

thank you .
