Striking Scorpions have the best aesthetic of the Eldar units. This is inarguable.
They wish they had even a tenth of the swag of an Incubus
>>49897424
>>49897892
Striking Scorpions look like an elf had sex with the motherfucking Predator.
Incubi give you all the style points of Chaos without having to look like you weight two tons.
Eldar have one of the better aesthetics of all the factions in 40k. Although I might be somewhat biased as a humanoid who is lacking blue skin.
>>49898221
I agree. If only the aspects had a model update.
>>49898242
I'd kill for an updated Striking Scorpion kit.
>>49897424
Agreed.
I completely agree. They are also my favorite aspect by far, followed closely by warp spiders and swooping Hawks
>>49897424
Nothing can beat the mount+lance aesthetic of the Shining Spears.
Eldar art thread? I love the ancient greek/chinese/egyptian/far east aesthetic. And HELMETS.
Updated Aspect sculpts when?
Always preferred Banshees myself.
Oh yes, the Striking Scorpions have the best aesthetic of all the Aspect Warriors...
But if we're talking ALL Eldar?
There's only one answer.

>>49901568
Yeah, I like banshees. Their design is very minimalist with a right bit of flair with the loincloth/tabard thing and the large hair.
I also really enjoy farseers/warlocks and their robed attire.

>>49901664
Because it doesn't look anything like a dire avenger, the only reason you know it is one is because of the lineup its in. I don't like any of those, none look elegant like Eldar should, they look like aspect warrior-master chief hybrids.

Eldar can change their appearance wiith a fuck load of things, hell some Outcasts and Corsairs walk round with claws after a trip to the local flesh artist in some Webway city.
Changing skin tones and eye colour really isn't a big shock.
>>49901876
You don't understand.
If it doesn't look like an ayy lmao with elf ears it's not TWUE eldar, and it's just weabooh shit for waifufags. Because fuck, it's not like they're literally just Tolkien elves in spess with added hair metal or anything.
>>49902082
Do you think that an eldar would really look a all these crazy body modifications and think: "Yes, I want to look like the most plain human possible! Give me mon'keigh eyes, change my facial structure and make me shorter so that humans can waifu me!"
>>49897424

scorpions got updated recently enough, as is with banshees. Now the real eldar models that need an update are warlocks and swooping hawks.
The least of all the pheonix lords. Maugar Ra is the only decent model by today's standards.
>>49902123
Given that a big thing for them is long term manipulation, you'd think they might have infiltration experts who do that to blend in. Give a governor some advice and a few centuries later profit from it somehow
>>49902113
>Because fuck, it's not like they're literally just Tolkien elves in spess with added hair metal or anything.
I hate to break it to you, anon, but that's exactly what they were. Squats were space dwarves, Eldar were space elves, and they literally just transplanted the Empire and Chaos to 40k with a little tampering. Don't be a dumbass, they literally started by making Fantasy in the year 40,000, then added a bunch of Dune and various sci-fi extras.
>>49901664
I'd guess because it looks too bulky? Spiders and Scorpions are meant to be heavily armoured (by Eldar Standards anyway), Avengers are a bit lighter, but here they're basically the same suit.
>>49901831
I think it works for the scorpion and the spider, as both of them are very bulky by Eldar standards (3+ armour save and all).
The avenger, however, is definitely too bulky, and is also missing the distinctive tall helmet with the crest.

Hopefully 8th ed will nerf scatbikes and wk and toss in an option for Autarchs to webway strike.
Also, speaking of Autarchs what gives with them not being able to join with most aspects without botching everything for them? They can't go with Scorps cuz they can't infiltrate. They can't keep up with banshees and their +3 movements. They can't move and shoot with reaper launchers or get the benefits of rangefinders. They don't ruin things for Dragons, Hawks, Spiders or Avengers, but they don't bring any discernible benefit either. It seems the only thing they go well with are Spears as they add some much needed weight of attacks.
Despite being fluffed as having mastered multiple Aspect paths, they don't really seem to add much to an Aspect army.
>>49897424
I think it's dumb that the eldar use chainswords.
Eldar should be more advanced than that imo.
>>49904773
I don't disagree, but at least they're supposed to be advanced chainswords that are way better. Still, I wish they were something different. Like sleak vibro-blades or some shit. The idea of a stealth based aspect using a CHAINSWORD is as hard for me to accept as Ravenguard being in anyway good at sneaking.
>>49904591
>Clearly doesn't know how to change magnification on images
>>49904895
You might want to go to a doctor if your eyes look like that
>>49904773
Wrong.
Every faction needs chainswords.
Let's get Tau pulse chainswords, gauss chainswords for Necrons, chainboneblades for Tyranids.
>>49904926
>chainboneblades
That actually sounds metal as fuck.
>>49904322
HERESY, THAT'S WHAT
>>49904997
What if the tyranid equivalent of a chainsword wasn't a standard chainsword but instead a blade with a mouth running up the length of the edge. So the sword itself would essentially OMNOMNOM you with shittons of teeth?
>>49905594
How do you imagine eldar picking up an aspect warrior path and proudly proclaiming it to their friends and family? Are they like "alright, cool. Did that some 500 years ago" or do you think that there is some social pressure behind it because the craftworld needs those guys? This probably depends on craftworld as well.

>Biel-Tan
Canonically the path of the warrior is mandatory as the first path taken by Biel-Tanians. So I'd imagine it's very much a 'Luthaniel's all grown up now'/'Son, I am proud' moment.
>Saim-Hann
Everyone is organized into tightly knit familial clans bond by blood. Joining an Aspect is canonically the only circumstance in which this bond can be broken. In this case i'd imagine it'd be a tearful goodbye with them praying for his/her safe return.
>Ulthwe
There are few Aspects in general and considering the over all determination of Ulthwe to deal with Chaos shit it'd likely be accepted as a grim necessity by the family.
>Iyanden
Even more so. With paltry few living Eldar they need all the help they can get.
>Alaitoc
Path of the Warrior books is pretty much all about this. Alaitoc are very dedicated to the path and heed their calling unquestioningly. There is one character who is traumatised when she finds out the messed up shit she did while she had her War-Mask on and leaves the shrine in disgust. The Aspect Warriors are generally held in awe and fear. They're heroes, because the craftworld couldn't survive without them, but the main character's asshole still tightens up at one point when he has to pass some Dark Reapers on the street. He's also a little disorientated when it dawns on him that one of the Reapers is, or was, his friend and his unnerved by how much he's changed.
>>49905895
According to the stamp on the bottom right of the pic, really good cosplay.
>>49906057
>Path of the Warrior books
Yep, I really need to start reading this. Interesting that it changes them so much, the masks should actually prevent that.
>>49906168
Author thinks that Khaine is Slaanesh/Khorne child what did you expect?
>>49906168
Big spoilersThe reason it changes the protagonist of the first one so much is because he's stuck on the path of the warrior permanently
>>49905700
Those that have walked the warrior path might understand and will probably give them some advice. Those that haven't will display their disgust etc at the thought of war, killing etc.
One thing all will be wary of is that they might become lost on the path and become an Exarch, Exarchs are shunned in public if they leave their aspect shrine when it's not a time of war and don't forget they basically become another person. Most don't want to see their loved ones "die" without actually dying.
They don't really choose what aspect they want to be either, Usually something happens (triggers them) and they get angry, might be them getting dumped, someone called their art to be shit or the path of the dreamer just isn't doing it for them anymore. The emotions and "what they would like to do" so to speak guides them to the aspect.
If one wanted to hide, chances are they'd end up as a scorpion, if one wants to destroy probably become a fire dragon.
Also from the lore you'd be surprised how lax they are when it comes to needing warriors to fight shit, there isn't really a recruitment drive save for Biel-tan's outlook on the path of the warrior. Twins etc are automatically signed up for Revenant duty but other than that, they don't seem to care much. If shit does hit the fan they'll ask for guardians mind you. Autarchs putting them in a semi warmask trance to shield them from being sucked into all the anger, hate etc
>>49906383

If thats true, how do they view Phoenix Lords?
I kind of imagine encompassing awe as they pass, kind of like the GITS movie parade scene.
>>49906201
What thinks? It's confirmed that Be'lakor and daemons predate the Eldar and their gods.
The one source that speaks about the Eldar Gods creation says that the Eldar with the help of the Old Ones guidance built huge psychic constructs to be weapons against the C'tan. These constructs eventually evolved into the Eldar Gods.
Give me one reason why Khaine and the other deities energies weren't taken from Chaos.
>>49906438
As legendary heroes as you might expect, but you wouldn't want one getting involved in your life if you arent a aspect warrior. In one of the Eldar books some Eldar are pretty terrified when one comes knocking on their door when they're minding their own business
If they're present in a fight or the dawn of one you'd know shit is going to go down. If one falls in battle there isn't really any hesitation to don the armour (well they touch the armour and the bright light appears and then you have a live phoenix lord again)
>>49906497

Read Traitor's Hate.
The Old Ones built several huge planet prisons billions of years before the War in Heaven. These prisons they used to trap and contain daemons in the billions.
Also Be'lakor was there when the Necrontyr builtt heir first Necropolis.
The Chaos Gods always were in the Warp and so were the daemons.
>which Emperor
The Emperor stole his power from the Chaos Gods.
>>49906438
PLs are worshipped. Asurmen founded their entire culture and is held in highest esteem. Whereas Baharoth is a symbol of hope and victory, Maugan Ra is interestingly held as a bad omen and figure of fear.
It's not that Exarchs aren't celebrated heroes, it's just that the idea of reaching a state of spiritual stagnation is terrifying to most Eldar. Except on Biel-tan where that shit is rad.
>>49906863
>PLs are worshipped
Eldrad didn't seem to show Asurman any deference. He even scolded him for seemingly doubting in his foresight.
>>49906883

Well then, good luck with your new quality canon and Age of Emperor senpai.
>>49906915
In the codex, munitorum and imperial armour fluff entries on the war-mask it is made clear the physical helm itself is important. In thorpe's version the armour isn't important and you can donne your mask without it, which kinda fucks up the whole theme of their weapons and arms being extensions of their warrior selves.
He also does a really crap job of having the characters behave in any way different from their regular selves. They keep thinking about all kinds of stupid irrelevant shit when Aspects are supposed to be laser focused. Korlandril keeps making stupid observations on Imperial social hierarchies in the middle of a battle and talking about all kinds of shit that make it seem like his mind isn't on the job.
>>49906991
1. They mention the paint/blood applied to their heads as part of the physical nature of the mask. It's a combination of both. It explains why a farseer without a facemask can be under the affects of the war mask as well.
2.Korlandril was an exarch so any observations about how HE reacted to it is meaningless when trying to describe how a typical eldar experiences it. He thought of personal things during war and he thought of war walking around the craftworld. The opposite of how it's "supposed" to be because he was stuck
>>49906991
How dare you defy the Loremaster of quality Games Workshop's © fluff?
>>49907047
1: This is only Thorpe fluff. Farseers use ghost helms and Guardians get lesser forms of war-masks and psychic shielding from warlocks.
2: I wasn't talking about when he was an Exarch. Aspect Warriors making shitty jokes while in War-Mask mode is shitty writing. What the fuck was Thrope thinking having a bad flirt scene with him and the fem-scorp. They are supposed to be consummate killer utterly fixated on the hunt and they're all like 'hey baby, ya wan sum fuck'? It's a shit book.
>>49907126
Having them be silent robots would be fucking boring writing. This was a chance to see things from the eldar perspective and if half the fucking book was just him thinking nothing it'd be a missed opportunity.They fucked out of combat when they were sitting around training.
Ghost helms protect their minds from the open warp.
>>49905594
You mean something like this? GW might as well, as they have already ripped off shitloads from this comic.
>>49907214
>silent robots
They're not silent robots though. Each aspect is characterised differently. Dragons are ebulliant and hot blooded. Hawks take joy in movement. Banshees channel their grief into vengeful screams. Reapers are morbid and dark humoured. Scorpions are stoic and sinsister. Thorpe even acknowledges this in the book, he just does a shitty job in representing it.
There was potential for a great inner conflict with the civilian persona battling the warrior self for dominance. Unfortunately, Gav sucks cock at characterisation and pacing, and fails to differentiate Korlandril and Not-Korlandril while also doing a total rush job with his descent into Exarch-hood. Something that is said to take a long time to happen instead takes place after TWO fucking battles.
>Ghost helms protect their minds from the open warp.
And? It fulfils the same purpose then doesn't it? If their mind is shielded by a ghost helm then the warp can't feed off any emotion.

Good. Those animations were always crap anyway and obstructed gameplay in the most obnoxious way. It was in no way fun to lose a squad because your unit decided to do a shitty showboat kill and retreat 6 seconds too late.

>Are we kawaii uguu~
>we look exactly like those cute eldar~ girls~ you like so much~
>>49906383
One thing that needs to be remembered, is that the path system is extremely against natural eldar inclinations. The Eldar are SUPPOSED to get locked into a murder trance and become manically obsessed with killing shit. They are a genetically engineered warrior race after all. The path system is an artificial restriction the Craftworld Eldar hold over themselves in order to prevent the emotional excesses (that come naturally to Eldar), which caused the fall.
If one want's to see how eldar act "naturally" one only has to look at the Dark Eldar. They exhibit the primal, unchained, and uncontrolled Eldar mentality, prone to utter emotional excess, and awesome as well as terrifying to behold.
>>49906438
In the Asurmen novel, the titular Phoenix Lord interacts with an Eldar pilot, who views him in a mixture of awe and terror.
That book is pretty neat.
It gives a bit of character to Asurmen, and also has an interesting aspect of showcasing how Eldar treat their children, which I haven't encountered anywhere else, as the pilot in question, has her babby with her.
The book shows that the Eldar communicate largely telepathically with their babies, but seem to treat it almost like we treat breastfeeding, as something that the baby needs to be weaned off from.
Also, Eldar babies are strong enough psykers that they can take over the mind of an adult human, and force that human to kill himself.
>>49908832Reminder that DEldar are superior to CW Eldar.
>>49908871
While adult eldar and farseers can't, nice writing Gav.
>>49908832
This makes me always wonder why DEldar aren't so much stronger than CWEs. Surely they lost their psykic powers, but they are also more numerous, not having to deal with spirit stones, they are supposed, at least in the fluff, to be more physically fit and they don't have to restrict themselves from their natural state.
Not even trying to make this into a pro-DEldar threadHarlequins are my favoritesThe only good answer I can come up with is that they are a minor faction, which they shouldn't be, which means GW doesn't spend much time giving them fluff.
Obligatory beckjann.

To be fair, that dude who got mindcontrolled was some retarded chaos cultist.
Also, it was implied that Eldar children do not yet know how to control their powers properly, and that adult Eldar consistently hold themselves back out of fear of Slaanesh.
>>49908909
The priorities of the Deldar are different, and they are much more inwardly focused. By large, they don't care about the material universe and it's happenings as anything else than a source of slaves and raw resources.
The major shit that the Kabals engage in is schemes and conflicts against OTHER kabals.
The Deldar are more populous than the Craftworlders, by a huge margin, and if they wanted, they could be far bigger influence in the galaxy. However, as they really only give a major fuck about Commoragh and it's shenanigans, you basically only see Deldar in the material universe when they are doing their equivalent of shopping runs.
>>49908871
>Also, Eldar babies are strong enough psykers that they can take over the mind of an adult human, and force that human to kill himself.
Seriously, my skin is crawling after reading this.
>>49908909
They have no real unity, aside from a shared desire for slaves to torture. Most of Dark Eldar society is based around various forms of backstabbing, or preventing backstabbing.
If they did unite, it'd be a force to be reckoned with, but even Vect's control over Commoragh is only nominal.

So it's the same cop-out with the orks? The problem that many evil races have in fiction which could totally destroy everything if they would get their shit together? Infighting?
Sometimes I hate this setting.

>>49908969
It was pretty creepy scene desu.
Basically, the eldar mom, and her babby, got cornered by a bunch of chaos cultists, and (due to her own trauma about her mom becoming an Exarch), the Eldar mom went to a state where she was incapable of acting violently out of fear of ending up like her mom, and basically became catatonic.
This distressed her babby to the point where it basically unleashed it's psychic powers in a defensive lash, took over the human cultists mind, and told him to fucking kill himself, which he did.
>>49909014
Why the fuck did they bring children outside of craftworld.
>>49909000
To be fair, the self-destructive nature of evil being it's own worst enemy is a classic theme, and it happens for a reason; the motives that makes a person or group be evil are the same motives that prevent them from performing the self-sacrifice necessary for unity and ultimate victory for their side.
And it's not like the Tyranids or Necrons, despite being much more unified, are any closer to actually destroying everything.
>>49909040
That eldar mom was some sort of non combat pilot and had her babby with her.
Asurmen snatched a ride, and told her "Bitch, take me to this and this place, there be a war going!"
>>49909076
I don't regret not reading BL books.
>>49909051
The good factions have the same problem, they rarely fight together as a united force to eradicate all evil in the world/universe for once and for all.The imperium will never stop infighting, they will never work with the eldar and tau
>>49909086
It is actually pretty good book.
I was just trying to sum up the situation in a humorous way.
Best Eldar books however, are the Valedor novel, and the path of a Dark Eldar trilogy.
>>49906497
>It's confirmed that Be'lakor and daemons predate the Eldar and their gods.
If Be'lakor had the blessing of all four chaos gods than Slaanesh would've had to been born at the time and since the Eldar created Slaanesh they must predate Be'lakor.

They're a force for stability in the galaxy, and if they fall for some reason the setting will be seriously fucked. Granted they're a huge part of why the setting is so screwed, but still. They've held together for 10k years now.
>>49909202
If we don't count the imperium as the good guys, then no one is. At least they are a force of order, opposed to chaos.

God Warp Spiders NEED new sculpts.
Those fucking models are older than I am.
Why can't GW update them?
Id pay top dollar for them if they looked like this.
This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I've always wanted to run a Biel-Tan Swordwind army. How does this look?
The plan is basically for the Reapers and DAs to hold down the fort back home while everyone else runs around like "gotta go fast". Model numbers are basically selected on the basis of "I am poor so I only want to buy one of anything unless it's absolutely necessary that I buy the pieces to make an additional guy on eBay" or something. I already have Baharroth though so I'd just use him as a counts as Exarch.

>>49909961
I wonder if male Banshees get shit like male nurses or male flight attendants?
>>49910237
I'd say it's more like female priests. It's not a career option, it's a holy calling, but some traditionalists might not like it. Or maybe they don't care, because Eldar are beyond that. When everyone has to fight against the literal embodiment of evil that wants to eat your actual souls, what's under the mask doesn't matter.
>>49908909
>but they are also more numerous
Why do people keep saying this? Yeah they have vatborn but that still requires a female Deldar to get preggers and the rate of getting murdered for a Deldar is astronomically higher then for a Craftworlder. Everytime anyone in the Dark City ever gets a promotion it means someone else and everyone even somewhat loyal to that person has died.

I dont have the exact quote but in the 5e codex it compares the largest of Imperial hives to an anthill next to a mountain compared to Commorragh.

I'm too lazy to go dig through the Path of the DE series books for another quote but it says at a few points that even though the Harlequin character refers to the DE as "a third of the Eldar race" they are in fact the most numerous.

They do do a good job blend in various 'ancient civilisation' designs without it looking incoherent.
My honest opinion is that the Dark Eldar update is one of the best GW has ever done. Old DE were cool and had interesting ideas behind them but ultimately suffered due to goofy sculpts. The new DE designs perfectly encapsulated the factions ideals and really created some unique and beautiful designs.
I think they were the last good work GW ever did.

The main thing I enjoyed coming out of this was Lilith having a weak spot for her niece. Caring about their family has gotten Archons killed before. I like it.

That was a joke based on the back story of the Incubi
>Ahra was a Phoenix Lord who advocated avoiding the use of War Masks and instead going full murder
>He wanted to save the doomed Eldar of the old empire
>The other Phoenix Lords thought he was stupid and abandoned him
>He was possessed by Chaotic forces after fighting for days
>He returned to his shrine and, regaining control of his body temporarily, told his "aspect warriors" to kill him before he went full chaos
>They did, and the Temple of the Incubi was formed
They're basically aspect warriors, but technically are not.
>>49911086
Incubi are the DE equivalent of an aspect warrior. Disciplined, stoic, well trained, and are required to kill an aspect warrior to earn their armor. Their founder is also a fallen phoenix lord.
>>49910952
Eww, no, not at all. Things walk on that stuff with their BARE FEET man. It's disgusting. I don't understand how such prestigious Eldar like Vect or Lilith bare it. That sensation that you share such a sickening similarity to those simian slaves we have.

>>49911164
I wonder if incubi weigh different aspect kills differently. Something like, "Oh, you got a Fire Dragon? Those guys are fucking easy." I'd imagine that everyone envies the guy who rules of nature'd a Crimson Hunter's jet to earn his armor.
>>49911377
>tfw Incubi hunted your Aspect Shrine to extinction because you made such impressive trophies
>>49911086
Incubi are in a weird position. They're most likely a variation of striking scorpions.
>>49911377
Oh wow, Drachorys you hopped on a jet and killed a defenseless pilot. Whoop dee doo. Every Hellion and their grandmother has done that before.
>>49911462

t. the faggot who sneaked up behind a Dire Avenger and pushed him off a cliff
>>49911462
>>49911501
>>49911518
I imagine that every Incubi acts like the shrine they got their kill from is the greatest and most dangerous Path ever conceived short of their own and all the others are for huge pussies. Even if they have uncharacteristic discipline and honor, they're still as vain and sadistic as every other Dark Eldar.
>>49911518
Those niggers roll deep. If you can sneak up on a unit, isolate one, kill him, and get away, that's pretty good. It also fits with the general DEldar MO of quick attacks and withdrawals.

>You are a fool! They do not follow the teachings of the Dark Father and could not possibly kill an Incubi of any worth. The real challenge are the knights of the Shining Spears! I had to lay a perfectly designed trap and bait him into it, and no other could catch him - not even the Reavers. I am smarter than you all.

You didn't get the joke. I'm implying Ynnead isn't real, just like the shadow spectre because Eldrad said Ynnead exists and he would resurrect him used all of the craftworlds spirits and did nothing.
Now you get the joke.

>>49913218

Dude's actually an aspect warrior who went rogue for the sake of mastering more styles. Just kind of ambles along behind when the other Incubi fight Craftworlders.

>>49913556
I thought the Eldar put up a strong defense vs the Necrons when they invaded the webway?

It's a joke, anon.
Supposedly the Incubi were founded by the guy who founded the Striking Scorpions originally, but had gone rogue.
What is up with the joke about the Sadow Spectres not excisting? Is it just a joke cuz they are sold by FW, not geedubs or do you eldarfags actually hate them?
>>49915796
They were thought lost for many generations and only rediscovered in late M41. They are the "ghost" aspect whose entire existence is supposed to be about being spooky, disappearing, and scaring people. Nobody realized where or what they were until it was too late and Mymeara had already won.
Basically that's the joke
>>49915796
It's just a joke about how rare they are. They're swag as fuck.
