For those that missed it, I just checked Black Gobbo and there is an Eldar painting guide that includes paint schemes for lots of Craftworlds.  It has the big 5, 2 that I'd heard of before and 10 that I'd never seen or heard of before.  For reference:
=========

Craftworld: Nacretine?
Primary color:  white
Secondary color: medium blue and bone

Craftworld: Altansar
Primary color: Red (purplish)
Secondary color: Black

Craftworld: Stel-Uit
Primary color:  Dark Green
Secondary color:  Grey and White

Craftworld: Il-Kaithe
Primary color:  Green
Secondary color:  Purple

Craftworld: Zahr-Tann
Primary color: Brown
Secondary color: Black

Craftworld: Biel-Tan - Swordwind Sylvanos
Primary color:  Khaki
Secondary color:  Dark Green
(as opposed to white/green as normal)

Craftworld: Lugganath
Primary color:  Bright Red/Scarlet
Secondary color:  Black

Craftworld: Aringhe
Primary color:  Maroon
Secondary color:  Silver

Craftworld: Iybraesil
Primary color:  Med blue (dusty blue)
Secondary color:  White and Grey

Craftworld: Arach-Qin
Primary color:  Black
Secondary color:  Bone and Purple
(Looks a lot like Ulthwe)

Craftworld: Tir-Val
Primary color:  Purple
Secondary color:  Yellow

Craftworld: Yme-Loc
Primary color:  Grey
Secondary color:  Orange (per the background, red in the pics)

Thanks for the info, Neal.  Out of curiosity, which of these Craftworlds have detailed background for them.
Craftworld: Iyanden
Craftworld: Saim-Hann
Craftworld: Alaitoc
Craftworld: Ulthw?
Craftworld: Biel-Tan
...are the ones I am familiar with (and the only ones that I know of that have an Epic Army List).  Are there any other distinguishing characteristics of the other craftworlds that would make their army compositions differentiate from these five?

If I remember correctly Altansar is the craftworld of the original Dark Reaper shrine. Which was thought destroyed but got recovered during  the Eye of Terror campaign.

Oh and Yme-Loc is grey and orange, they hunt down chaos.

Mosc:  I think most of them are just recent creations without specific background like a lot of the SM chapters.  Apparently some are pictured in the new Codex but no details.

Lugganath Craftworld is mentioned in some of the older Titan Clan background info - almost destroyed by daemons, saved by the heroic efforts of their titan clan.  If you wanted to do an Iyanden-style Spirit Warriors + Titans for a walker theme, that would be a good one.

I had forgotten about Altansar until Ratty's post, but he's correct on that as well as on Yme Loc.


Ratty:  Is the Yme Loc color info from background material?  I changed the description in the first post but the picture has them as a scarlet red/gray and the paint color they used is blood red.

colour scheme is from the new codex. the photo is the same just seems to have a wierd colour cast on the webpage. if you look in the painting intructions it says the highlight is blazing orange and elf flesh.

Yes the new codex books do have a lot of background material these days.

Yep. It is also the home of Maugan Ra. He was thought to be the only survivor until Altansar reappeared.

The new Eldar codex is really pretty good.  It's much like a Fantasy army book, where it gives you a unit description and all the rules on one page, and then the army list just has the bare bones stuff (points cost, maybe a few upgrades)  on another page (with a reference to the big unit description's page #).

Supposedly, that's what they're changing all the 40k codices to look like (keeping my fingers crossed that it's true, but we'll see with the DA codex this spring).

Sort of not Epic, but related to the thread topic...  Are there female Guardian minis for 40K?

I know there are classic/OOP models but something I ran across online made me think there might be current production female models.  Can anyone confirm/deny?

I may take a crack at the Lugganath craftworld.  It would certainly be fun to try to put together another craftworld list that is distinct yet balanced.

Thanks for the suggestion, Neal!

The guardian sprue does have the chest piece for female guardians, this is used for the guardian defenders storm and older dire avengers.

Pretty sure it's still in place for the current defenders and storm guardians.  It's the 1999 sprue.
