I add *pretty please* and a cherry on top.

I'd like to hear what these are and what I can use them for (counts as)

Much appreciated.

The lot (excluding infantry. I got those ;) )
Image

Most I can work out what they are but these?
Catamarans with huge guns?
Image

Sort of Knights?
Image

Large Pulse gun on grav tank?
Image

Perhaps old-style fire prisms?
Image

Note that I fully intend to strip the models and give em a neat paint job. O0
Not that all is bad but most is simply not a colour scheme I like.

Warp Hunters, the ancestors of the superheavy grav tank Cobra.

Thanks.

Cobra's, Wave Serpents and Fire prisms are still usable.

What would you recommend the Knights for? (counts as?)

And what about the plastic tanks? (lower left corner in the 'all'-picture)
I thought these would be Wave Serpents (counts as) but are they supposed to be ´oldstyle' Falcon grav tanks?

The plastic ones are old style falcons

Yep Cobra's, WS and Prisms still good! =)

I would use the knights as knights! =) In the Eldar Titan Clan list they have Knight Formations still. Which I'm currently working with Moscovian blessing. My variant list only has Fire Glae's right now but that's only because I was trying to cut down the list and focus on Titans. I hope to integrate them back in or make there own list. Also they are in the Exdotie list too, which is MIA at the moment.

The Plastic Green Tanks are indeed Old Skool Falcons. I've seen people run them as Wave Serpents if there using current Falcon's in there list and I've also seen them use as Falcon's.

Good ID ... IIRC, You can find current Eldar Titans and use as list in Swordwind ... Yes ... Bright Stallion = Fire Prism; Fire Gale = Firestorm; Towering Destroyer = Revenant ... in Swordwind.

Here is the NetEA Draft of the Eldar Armies.

The Titan Clan in here has gone a bit inactive. So with Moscovian blessing I took that list and re-worked it, you can find it here...
http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=19072

My list is just a few days old, I plan on posting a updated version soon.

Hi Roy.
when will you get "your" Epic Eldar?

I'm looking forward to painting this lot.
Just finished priming 8x Guardians and 5 Falcon Grav tanks.

(While the painted bits are in the process of being stripped of their fugly paint schemes)

I mounted a pair of Warp Hunters to a 60mm base to represent a Cobra as they are a little small.

Do you mean two Warp Hunters on one base to represent a single Cobra?



Also: first test model. Not too sure about the attempt to paint the Biel Tan symbol.

These things are worthless. Just send them to me so I can dispose of them properly.

Seriously, I never did understand how all the knights just kinda disappeared from 40k-dom. They fit better in 40k than alot of stuff that was made for 40k. I mean, they bothered to make a drop pod plastic kit. Who wants to play with that?
