Eldar are all funny.

Really? That's a new one on me. They are always deadly serious on the field of battle. I suspect, somehow, you're talking about models though . I don't agree with if this is the case though. The current Eldar sculpts are pretty good, and the original Rogue Trader sculpts are superb. The third edition models were, however, awful in my opinion.

Yes if you like the coneheads you like the Eldar.

I even played the army but I have the same issue with them as with the High Elves, stupid ugly heads.

ahh I can´t find the comic with the eldar scan where the space of the helmet is filled up with blonde hair.

I always insist those are hood dryers - the Elves go to battle to the sound of their gentle whirring!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1553 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:08:26 AM »

Well with all that warfare training there is no time left to take proper care of your hair.

I only like the special helmets of the scorpions and banshees as they have at least a bit the greek look. Assyrians I am not decided.

I quite like eldar tbh.

People keep buying hellhounds on ebay for more than I want to pay. boooo!

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #1556 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:06:46 AM »

I like eldar too

I have squads of first edition dire avengers, striking scorpions, howling banshees, dark reapers and fire dragons.
I also have some newer aspects as well, warp spiders, shining spears, 2nd and 3rd releases of dire avengers, the second release banshees and 2nd release reapers!

Im just waiting for a new book, maybe with some new aspect warriors [Slicing Orbs of Zandros anyone?]

Dire Avengers are my favourite looking aspect, with Horse hair plumed helmets. Sexiest helmets ever.

Eldar are OK. I don't like their vehicles.

So, I have discovered that I can make a 1500 points imperial guard list... but it has no vehicles other than three chimeras. It does have a lot of meltaguns. I wonder if it would be playable, or if I should get a Lemon Rusk or something.

Also, why doesn't the valkyrie come with the lascannons you need to make a vendetta? Lame.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1558 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:03:56 AM »

Well Forgeworld needs money too.

Also you can go all infantry with IG if you want to. I would use the chimeras with Veteran squads with melta guns.

You would need some long range fire power too though....if you want to win that is you also can just field hundreds of recruits and yell....Urräääää Urräääääää Urräääääää and see them mowed down.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1559 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:14:13 AM »

My list doesn't even have that much infantry! I'm not sure where the points went.

Roughly, it is:

command squad with astropath
super-psyker

5 ratlings
2 units of 5 storm troopers with 2 meltas (and parachutes!)

3 units of demo veterans in chimeras with 2 meltas and heavy flamer
platoon with 2 squads, commissars

10 rough riders

More infantry than that would be absurdly annoying to move in a game with no movement trays!

I could probably drop some upgrades and get a tank. Or a vendetta.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1560 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:20:11 AM »

Well your stormtroopers are the point sink....they are very nice models but are they seriously worth a Space Marine in points...I don´t think so.

Hmmmm I think your army is very small for an IG army. But the Chimera Veterans are pretty mobile and deadly.

I have some Lascannon bits that would probably not require too much conversion. They're from Predator Sponsons that never got used. How many do you need?

McKnight · « **Reply #1562 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:23:15 AM »

You dont have any long range firesupport, which the guard is awesome at having, so that will be a set back!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1563 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:27:53 AM »

Yes you would need (a dreagnouth with) autocannons.

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #1564 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:30:01 AM »

I converted my vendetta from spare lascannons from the heavy weapon teams. I posted a photo of it a while back on here!

That seems to be the standard now, but IG does it much better.

Lots of heavy weapon teams and orders from their commander.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1566 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:33:14 AM »

I like rocket launchers...mainly because I have them galore (steel legion packs) but also I think they too grant a good mix of anti tank and anti infantry.

I go fluffy and even hand out grenade launchers to all my infantry squads.

Finlay · « **Reply #1567 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:44:55 AM »

what the hell? It doesn't come with lascannons? boooooo

BTW, does anyone have a spare autocannon? I need to glue it onto a sentinel.

rufus, are you going to use IG or GK when we play? I think that army is not really viable tbh. you need more tanks! If you swap the storm troopers, super psyker, and ratlings (or not if u like them) then you can add tanks.

I have a lot of spare stuff. PM me your address and I will send it right out.

You already sent me those melta and plasma guns! I couldn't possibly ask you to send me anything else.

Thanks for the offer though!

It will have to be grey knights I think. I agree that my guard stuff doesn't make a decent list.

I'm not very happy about my grey knights list either.

Do you have spare stuff to build HWT guns?
Maybe I should buy some off you!

I'm sure I could build some for you. PM me with what you need and I will see what I can come up with.

You didn't ask, I offered

I'm probably not going to ever use them all, and I'd rather they go to one of my W-E brothers than one of the guys I have to play against at my LGS.

I wonder if there is a Saint Cannon already in the catholic pantheon.

Where do you think they got the term Canonize?
