Post subject: | Fanlist: Eldar Corsairs v0.1 | ||
apologies to anyone who may have written a corsairs list previously, but I couldn't seem to find one this list came about as I was pondering the best way to get to paint some awesome corsairs colour schemes AND keep my mymeara force which I'm actually happy with... Basing the army heavily on the list in IA11, I was thinking of something along these lines: Core: -Corsairs (these would be the 'tactical marines' of the eldar, similar to guardians but with better CC (5+) and a missile launcher, either with jump packs or falcons/venoms as transport, may have a single firestorm ) -Voidstorm squads - these are assault specialists who carry lots of fusion guns and meltabombs (MW?) but tend to be low in number Special: (2 per corsair warband) -Jetbikes/vypers -Hornets -Falcons (smaller formations (3/4?), more limited access to firestorms, may upgrade a falcon to a warp hunter) -Rangers -Wasps (jump pack war-walker units which can be transported in vampires) Rare: (1 per every 2 corsair warbands) -0-1 Harlequin troupe (stats from grand masque list, good few options, max one per army) -0-1 DE Kabal (stats from DE list, lots of options, max one per army) -0-1 Lynx formation Aircraft: -Nightwings (possibly 2 with the option to add a third) -Phoenix Bombers (possibly a corsair variant with int1+ /different weapon loadouts) -Vampire Hunter -Vampire Raider -1+ Spacecraft (are there specific 'corsair' craft, can the BFG players advise?) Characters: -Corsair Prince (the usual, supcom, inv save, inspiring etc) -Void Dreamer (farseer equivalent, lose farsight, but gain MW FF, rune armour (4+ and inv save)) -Felarch (leader, CC MW EA) Army wide rules Corsairs may use the 'hit and run' rule from the main eldar list They may also use the 'fleet of foot' rule from the dark eldar codex I'll get it formatted into a proper list with suggested stats over the next week or so, I see it playing like dark eldar, but perhaps even more fragile, fewer transport vehicles which means units will tend to be inherently quick, yet very fragile if not making good use of cover, smaller vehicle formations mean you can have a decent punch but must be careful with them, and the many air choices are quite thematic from a fluff POV, I'd also say a spaceship should be a mandatory choice anyone have any thoughts? Edit: I finally got it formatted into a list which I have attached for your perusal, looking at the harlequin stats, that list seems a bit mental, but I've added the options, however it may get toned down for this specific list, I've borrowed stats from all over the place and a made a few up, some units may be too potent, some too weak, please let me know your thoughts on this Edit 2: I messed with the formatting to make the list more readable, new version attached enjoy

-1+ Spacecraft (are there specific 'corsair' craft, can the BFG players advise?) The main elder fleetlist for Battlefleet Gothic is the Corsair fleetlist - with an addon for craftworld ships. Cruisers are generally Eclipse (carrier) and Aurora (gunship) with escorts being Hellebores (mixed) Aconites (gun batteries), Hemlocks (torpedos), and Nigthshades (Pulsar lances) |

I've been doing the same thing myself the last few months. You are more experienced than I so I'll pm you with my files and you can tell me what you think. It would be good to get a semi-official list going. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk |

Good starting points, some stats may be a little 'over egged' but that is almost certainly a design philisophy I'd quite like to see the grav tanks rolled into a single flexible formation with a smaller footprint, in fact I'd quite like the entire army to be flexible as eldar corsairs are highly disorganised and moulded to the combat style of particular leaders I'm mid-way through writing up my own list and reference sheet, will get it uploaded in the next few days and then we can argue amongst ourselves and knock it into some kind of sensible form |

interesting....wont promise I will get any testing done, since I would like to focus on the ulthwe and DE at the moment to get them approve... Once you pop the PDF up, I will add it to the Eldar lists-APPROVED, DEVELOPMENTAL, EXPERIMENTAL or FANBASE thread... |

I have added Wasp Walkers and Vampire Hunters to the newest iteration of Fir Iolarion since it is from Craftworld Lugganath and famously friendly with Corsairs. So check those out. ^^ My feeling on Corsairs is that they should be halfway between the Craftworlders and the Dark-kin. Making them more fragile than the DE would be really hard to do. There's no where really to go down from LVs and no armor infantry. 2+ initiative with DE stat lines ought to get you there. |

I've started a similar project which is more a 'modelling' project then a 'develop a new list' project. But I wanted to be able to use it at tournaments and pick up games so I've just taken the BT list (EA), put some limitations on myself and renamed units. So units - Corsair Prince - Autarch Felarch - Exarch
 Reaver - Dire Avenger Jetpack Reaver - Swooping Hawk Balestrike - Dark Reaper Malevolent - Howling Banshee Voidstorm - Fire Dragon Cloud Dancer - Shining Spear Ghostwalker - Ranger Wasp Assault Walker - Warwalker List is then just - Corsair Coterie - Aspect Warhosts less Wave Serpent option Ghostwalker Band - Ranger Troupe Wasp Assault Squadron - Warwalker Troupe Armoured Squadron - Swords of Vaul Vyper Squadron - Jetbike Troupe with only Vypers Night Spinner - Night Spinner Troupe Nightwing, Phoenix, Vampire and Space Craft (Eclipse and Void Dragon) That might be a place to start? I'm happy to email what I've done (army list and unit profile summary) if you'd like. Just PM me an email address. I think adding a Void Dreamer Character, Vemons, Vampire Hunters and Warp Hunters would be cool. Wasp Assault Walkers with Jumpack that can fit in a Vampire Raider would be sweet too! Regards Harry |
