https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/12/13/mix-and-match-aspect-warriors-to-create-the-deadliest-blades-of-khaine-kill-team/ This is one of the Asuryani kill teams that I've been waiting for. Short description (for those that haven't read the Warhammer Community article - link above) - you can mix and match Dire Avengers, Howling Banshees, and Striking Scorpions, with one Exarch from one of those shrines, into a single kill team. This is the Craftworlders' "veteran" kill team (I don't count the Anhrathe/Corsairs as "Craftworlders"). All I need now is a Black Guardians kill team and I'll have my Aeldari trifecta.

When the Craftworld Eldar as we now know them were first introduced, there were six common Aspects: When the 2nd edition Codex: Eldar was published, we were also introduced to the Warp Spiders. In addition, the lore was expanded a bit: ...and... We didn't see actual Shining Spears miniatures until 3rd edition. The lore shifted a bit here and there through the editions, but remained fairly consistent. Two further additions to the Aspects were the Crimson Hunters and Shadow Spectres, who were introduced in 6th edition (the former via that edition's codex and the latter via The Doom of Mymeara). The Crimson Hunters are pilots and the Shadow Spectres are highly mobile with heavy firepower - mobile tank hunters. In addition, other minor Aspects have been mentioned in the lore, but not really described or released in miniature form. These include the Eagle Pilot(s?) in the novel Shadow Point, the Crystal Dragons in the novel Path of the Warrior, and the Ebon Talons in the novel Asurmen: Hand of Asuryan. The Eagle Pilot(s) are, as their name implies, fighter pilots of some kind (somehow different from the Crimson Hunters). The others, however, are not described (as far as I know - I haven't read either of those novels). At this point, it would be useful to identify each of the known Aspects, their battlefield role/specialism, and their signature weapon(s): Crimson Hunters - air superiority, Nightshade interceptor Crystal Dragons - unknown role, unknown weapons Dark Reapers - long range fire support, Reaper launcher Dire Avengers - general combat, Avenger shuriken catapult (these are the quintessential Aeldari warriors) Eagle Pilot - fighter pilots, unknown craft Ebon Talons - unknown role, unknown weapons Fire Dragons - tank-hunters/anti-structure, fusion guns Howling Banshees - melee combat, Banshee mask and power sword Shadow Spectres - anti-tank, Prism cannon Shining Spears - hit-and-run attacks, laser lance and Eldar jetbike Slicing Orbs [of Zandros] - unknown role, unknown weapons Striking Scorpions - melee combat and stealth, mandiblaster and chainsword Swooping Hawks - airborne infantry support, Swooping Hawk wings and grenade pack and lasblaster Warp Spiders - hit-and-run attacks, Warp Spider jump generator and death spinner What we generally see is that, though there is a degree of overlap, each Aspect is distinct. Prior to the Crimson Hunters, I perceived Aspect Warriors as individuals. With the release of the Crimson Hunters, however, we see that Aspects might also include larger vehicles. This is bolstered by the Eagle Pilot(s). This leads to the possibility that there might be other Aspects that similarly focus on employment of other vehicles - not just flyers, but potentially tanks, walkers, etc. Imagine some Aspect that specializes in enhanced use of the Fire Prism, or another that uses the Vyper (some distinctive Aspect that has two warriors operating as a team), or some Aspect that uses War Walkers. Then, too, there are different roles and weapons that haven't yet been represented on known Aspects. We've seen laser weapons employed by the Swooping Hawks, Shadow Spectres, and Shining Spears (not to mention those mounted on the craft of the Crimson Hunters); we've seen the Dire Avengers use their enhanced Avenger shuriken catapults; we've seen the Dark Reapers with their missile launchers and the Fire Dragons with their fusion guns. The Aeldari are also known for their mastery of sonic (dissonance) weapons, however, yet no known Aspects make use of such weapons (and I'm not counting the Banshee mask in this as that's a unique application, though it is a sonic weapon). Looking beyond these, what if there were an Aspect that specialized in larger vessels - the spacecraft of the Aeldari. Such Aspect warriors would be consummate "pilots" at the highest level. I don't know if such an Aspect would be probable, but they're possible if we extend the interpretation of warfare to higher levels. I imagine that many of the minor/unknown Aspects might be either very unusual, or they might simply be variations on a theme. Imagine an Aspect that takes the tank-hunters role of the Fire Dragons and Shadow Spectres, using dissonance weapons. I've been working on the Void Hornets Aspect, a melee-oriented Aspect specializes in void warfare and boarding actions (both attacking and defending). You can see the rules development here if you're interested. At one point I conceived of another melee specialist Aspect, one that evoked a bestial motif from Aeldari mythology (I had a lion in mind) - using claws. What kind of minor/additional Aspects can you think of?

I can - and will - build this very shortly, since I already have the Craftworlds for it. I'm picking up a box of Harleys over the weekend, off Amazon or eBay, and I'll be fielding them together. I was careful with the point values, so I could fit them exactly in 1k, and I picked my Masque for the weird color scheme - nice and striking next to my Craftworlds - and for the ability it gives you. Makes your opponent's probability of hitting you in melee effectively a 6+, but with a weird, Harlequin twist. The Spiritseer got Protect/Jinx to help the Wraithguard - the ability to worsen enemy saves and buff the Wraithguard while I'm crossing the board is very powerful. The plan is to have the Harleys advance across the board as fast as they can and slam into the enemy's gunline, then have the Wraith stuff get in relatively close and just kinda kill everything. I wanna have some murder clowns anyway, so I'm pushing the button over the weekend - I just want an opinion regarding the setup itself. ++ Patrol Detachment (Aeldari - Harlequins) [9 PL, 150pts] ++ + Configuration + Masque Form: The Veiled Path: Riddle-Smiths + HQ [4 PL, 71pts] + Troupe Master [4 PL, 71pts]: Fusion Pistol [7pts], Player of the Dark, Power sword [4pts], The Starmist Raiment, Warlord + Troops [5 PL, 79pts] + Troupe [5 PL, 79pts] Player [1 PL, 11pts]: Harlequin's Blade, Shuriken Pistol Player [1 PL, 11pts]: Harlequin's Blade, Shuriken Pistol Player [1 PL, 16pts]: Harlequin's Blade, Neuro Disruptor [5pts] Player [1 PL, 16pts]: Harlequin's Blade, Neuro Disruptor [5pts] Player [1 PL, 25pts]: Fusion Pistol [7pts], Harlequin's Caress [7pts] ++ Vanguard Detachment +1CP (Aeldari - Craftworlds) [51 PL, 850pts] ++ + Configuration + Craftworld Attribute: Ulthwé: Foresight of the Damned + HQ [3 PL, 55pts] + Spiritseer [3 PL, 55pts]: 0.

So after a very..... long time off not posting anything, mainly posted on FB pages; I’ve decided to dip my toe back into forums again. After many, many years of only doing marines I thought I’d give some dirty space elf’s a go. Going for a very small 500 point army to get me started (hopefully I’ll finish unlike my various other projects) . The list is a simple foot sloggers backed up by a Farseer, warlock and two Walkers Battalion Detachment +5CP (Aeldari - Craftworlds) [29 PL, 500pts] Craftworld Attribute: Alaitoc: Fieldcraft HQ Farseer [6 PL, 110pts]: 1. Guide, 4: Fate's Messenger, 6. Mind War, Craftworlds Warlord, Shuriken Pistol, Witchblade . Shiftshroud of Alanssair Warlock [2 PL, 55pts]: 5. Quicken/Restrain, Shuriken Pistol, Witchblade Troops Dire Avengers [3 PL, 55pts] . 5x Dire Avenger: 5x Avenger Shuriken Catapult Guardian Defenders [5 PL, 80pts]: 10x Guardian Defender Guardian Defenders [5 PL, 80pts]10x Guardian Defender Heavy Support War Walkers [8 PL, 120pts] . War Walker: Scatter Laser, Starcannon . War Walker: Scatter Laser, Starcannon Total: [29 PL, 500pts] Only just started on the first unit of guardians and done one as my test to bed in what I’m doing with the rest of the squad/army All in all faily please so far, the light makes the min look a little washed out and grey. Preying for some decent light so I can show it off a little better

Hi everyone, I've been working on a project for a few months creating aspect warrior styled wraithlords - because not every soul stone plugged into one of these wraith constructs is going to come from a dead farmer who died in glorious battle, right? Don't get me wrong, I love the vanilla wraith constructs and I think their designs are an absolute classic (as most Eldar designs are - yes I'm biased), but it would be nice to give them a little more flavour for the heroic spiritstones who died while following one of the warrior paths. All of the wraithlords for the main infantry aspect shrines (barring warp spiders and shadow spectres) are already converted and one is completely finished and painted. As such, I'll be posting WIP pics of them from completion of the conversions up to them being fully painted. I may also do a few more for other paths (the afformentioned warp spiders and shadow spectres, but also possibly a ranger wraithlord and who knows what else?), but those will be started somewhere down the line, possibly after I've finished painting the ones I have converted so far. So, to kick things off, here's a group pic of all the converted wraithlords, barring the one that is painted, which was completed last but ironically painted first. From left to right, I have: Vanilla wraithlord with converted double handed sword grip (who is the companion for another modelling project who's already completed and painted - I may post her here, too...) Striking Scorpion wraithlord with converted mandiblasters, chainsword and modified, sneaky pose. Dark Reaper wraithlord with double missile launchers, antenna and double shuriken catapult Dire Avenger wraithlord with handheld shuriken cannon, back-slung wraithsword and telescoped camera Swooping Hawk wraithlord with handheld bright lance, exarch hawk wings backpack and decoractive shoulder guard wingtips, plus landing (or possibly taking off backwards) pose. Howling Banshee wraithlord with double swords, converted head/hair and balancing (hopefully graceful looking) one footed pose. The vanilla, scorpion and banshee wraithlords are based on other people's conversions. I'll update with individual pics of each wraithlord over the coming weeks, starting with the only one not pictured (Fire Dragon) in the next few days. Hope people enjoy them!
