The Eldar

A freind of mine, posted his thoughts on the new Codex: Eldar being released for Warhammer 40,00. In this post I want to add my thoughts.

The Reason I do eldar. I started an eldar army for a few reasons. The one major one being my idea of the eldar. I see them as sort of a fuetil japanese culture. With warriors such as the samuri, expert swordsman and tacticions, but relativly few in number. They spend there entire lives fallowing ''the path'' and mastering it to perfection. Take the howling banshees for example, swift, cunning, deadly, but unable to hold up in a battle of attririon. On the flip side you have the Striking Scorpions, massive numbers of attacks, tough, strong, but there armour alows them to fend of all but the mighteist blows.

The other thing that attracts me to the Eldar race is there secrative nature. No one knows much about what there doing, or wich side they'll take in a fight. Any secret motives they may have, and where there alligency truely lies.In game terms this allows for players to make background 'fluff' for there armies like no other, and also explain why they might fight with unexpected allies.


Well thats it for now, Hope you enjoyed!
