Adios Eldar

After our weekly game night, I've decided to sell off my Eldar army. I've debated the idea for quite a while. My army setup isn't set up to win any tourneys, I don't have a Seer Council or a lot of mech. I just kept buying 1 of everything. I win some and lose some, but the reason I've been dancing around the idea of getting rid of them is simply a matter stats and playstyle.

I started writing out the details to my reasoning for disliking the Eldar, but I can't really imagine anyone who reads this will care. So let me get to the point.

After giving friends a few days, I'm now offering the army up to the blog community. If I don't get any offers within the next week (I'll say until Dec 1st,) it's going up on eBay. My army is great for a start army and comes out to 1650 points without upgrades and ~2100 points with realistic upgrades.

Here is what I have:

Codex:
1x Eldar 4th Edition

HQ:
1x Eldrad Ulthran (custom lightning effect)
1x Avatar of Khaine
1x Warlock

Troop:
9x Dire Avengers
1x Dire Avenger Exarch (custom magnet conversion)
10x Rangers/Pathfinders
10x Guardians w/ Weapon Platform (custom magnet conversion)

Transport:

Elite:
5x Harlequins
1x Harlequin Troop Master
1x Shadowseer
10x Fire Dragons

4x Warp Spiders
1x Warp Spider Exarch

Heavy:

  1. Sorry to see a fellow Eldar player go. Though I am curious as to what you didn't like about Eldar. I love them--but I'm not a fan of seer councils and use mech sparingly.

  2. I guess it comes down to T3 and S3 on a majority of the army. For the first year of my 40k career I played Necrons and SMs, and I guess that ruined me for life. More than that, I guess it's how specialized every unit is. I like having a lot of units that can do a couple of jobs. With Eldar, it's much more focused and each unit has a very specific job. They aren't a bad army, and I love the speed; they're just not for me..

  3. Although I hate to see something that you put so much work into go away, and we lose a little diversity from the gaming group.... NO MORE GLYPHS OF WARDING! /Happydance

  6. Everyone sing along. Ding dong the Eldar are dead! But seriously I'm just happy to be able to use psykers again without making their heads explode.
