Thanks Warhead. I know I could count on you! :oo:

We should deside - Do we even want more tabels. Where are all the members? Speak up now or forever hold yer breath! :whistle:

Separate tables for ease of reference, please.

Hi!

Separate tables sound better for easier access. I understand it may be a little redundant, but it can be justified if it makes using it better.

But...but... the Dark Side is such a nice place to be... you get to wear cool capes and shoot lightning out of your fingers and stuff...

Oh, I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. I was just pointing the direction to take for the uninitiated. The capes ARE cool, the finger thing can be a right pain in the... uh, arse.

I recieved a mail with a couple of comments on the book. This in particular is probably worth discussing:

Quote: 

While the Eldar and Dark Eldar do fight each other, when brought together by the Harlequins they will fight side-by-side. As such I feel this should be reflected in the army creation section where Eldar and Dark Eldar can both betaken in equal points value as long as x points are spent on Harlequins. Or something to that affect. Also, while some Dark Eldar forces might ally with chaos forces, they would never ally with the forces of Slaneesh, they fear She-Who-Thirst.

Jee-zuz!!! What Jonny come lately Black Library crackpot author dribbled out this turgid shite?

Contrary to initial back story just to sell more to the masses I imagine.

EDIT: From Wikipedia

Quote: 

The Dark Eldar are a Kindred of the Eldar that revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme. They are the remnants of the pleasure cultists that brought about the birth of Slaanesh, and believe that killing "lesser" races can forestall the effect of Slaanesh on their souls.

Trust Warhead to come up with a diplomatic answer  :grin:

Seriously though:
The part about Dark Eldar would never fight alongside Slaanesh makes sense to me.

Harlequins also travel the dark parts of the webway so some conection between Daek Eldar and Harlequins, and possibly regular Eldar doesn't seem entirely implausible. Werther they would actually go to war together I have no idea.

Sorry, just being me I guess.

I get the Harlequin thing about being all dark and deathly and everything. But to align with those that brought the fall... On this issue scepticism is a far distant point on the horizon that I can just view from the land of disgust where I presently stand.

I too think that the Unit index at the back should be split into 2, Eldar and Dark Eldar
possibly even 3 with the Exodites,
purely because that would mean less pages to flip through while playing to get the stats..

similar to the army cards...

A question. Re: The Peregrine grav tank.
I note there's the Peregrine and it's brother the Unicorn. Both are of course modified models (both have scatter lasers added to them up top)

Can we also have a pure, unmodified model (no scatter)?


Also , I have a question about other published eldar minis that haven't been included here.

I've versions of most all the Limited release eldar epic models,and I noticed that while the exodites are included with stats, the other limited release models do not.

Case in point. Image

I've got 3 of the above models unpainted in my collection.

Then there are these.
Image
Eldar Super Cobra
Image
Eldar Death Spinner (farseer/warlock tank)
Image
Eldar Falcon 1 limited release with heavy turret (maybe a light pulsar like the revenant)
Image
Eldar falcon 2 limited release with brightlance and plasma
Image
Eldar falcon 3 with heavy weapon (unknown) and missile launcher pod

There's also the eldar nightwing, phoenix bomber and the Vampire raider (non forgeworld) all in limited release http://www.collecting-citadel-miniature ... ed_Release

I figure if you added the exodite models with as limited a release as those were, then maybe these should be added too.

I have originals of all of these, so I could easily provide painted pics for the book if you like.

I think it might be a little late in the process to add entirely new units to the NEtEpic Gold books. The Eldar variant vehicles were meant to replace the existing range IIRC, so for the most part I think the units could be proxied as other units - much in the same way the E40k/E:A models can be used arbitrarily to replace the SM/TL era ones. Like Jervis stated in the E:A rulebook: Just assume that they're different schools of design as the actual difference in battlefield role is minimal.
That said I think it would be cool to write up a list of house rules for these vehicles that could be included in an eratta section.

You're using E:A to argue in favor of missing out on new units? EVILLLL!

Why not just call it the Eldar Experimental unit supplement?

Take the orky looking phantom and revenant titans?

Include them in it too and call them the Lich and Ghost class experimental titans. They sure look like they were prototypes ... unfinished and unpolished in look. Say they were an attempt by eldar to introduce a new defensive shield tech for example.

The warseer tank though, that's one that definitely would be well worth creating stats for.

If you want to do an eldar supplement, let me know, I'd be happy to help out or volunteer my help on it. (Worked for Adobe as a tech, so I know page lay out and PDF technology inside out)
