The State of the Eldar



[Not shown in image are NIB Rangers, Harlequins, and Guardians]

That's Project: Eldar. It is in no way a legal army (yet), but it is what I have at my disposal. Putting it all out on the table shows what a mass of stuff I do have. I'm pretty proud of it all, even though it is quite overwhelming. I'm going with a heavy Guardian theme, as well as making use of Harlies and Swooping Hawks. I'm not sure I will actually use the Scorpions or the Reapers, but I have 'em just in case. I'm contemplating running a tank-busting unit of Harlies armed with fusion pistols, but we'll see if that is just plain stupid or not (must ask WarSeer).

The basis of the army is the Bards of Twilight, those who know how the Phoenix Kings die in the final battle of the Eldar. The Harlequins are a must, as they are the true bards of the Eldar race. They are the storytellers who tell of The Fall, so I figure they must be tied into the Bards of Twilight somehow. I want a guardian heavy force because it pays homage to the old Ulthwe army list, plus it just seems right. I don't know why the Bards of Twilight would have a bunch of Elite Path warriors running around with them.

So yeah, here it is right now. We'll see what happens in the future.
