The Eldar are peak 40K, the supreme foil to both the brutish Orks and the megalomaniacal Mankind.

But Aeldari never do the right thing? They constantly blunder and fail while trying to act haughty, which in turn just makes them look even more stupid when they fail. They have no actual proud history or track record, just a long series of failures.

No, it's just nice to see that people can also run the marines/termies too. I know a lot of tson players were complaining that they wanted the marines to be better and im happy for them. I think tzaangor are neat, but I also don't have an army of them so it's not the same thing for me

They try to. They warned Guilliman that his attack on the Silent King's territory would fail, for example. Unfortunately, the Imperium is too self-destructive and stubborn to listen, and what they warned came to pass.

It's especially funny because suppressed submissive homoerotic desire is the leading factor behind nearly every marine player's army choice and aesthetic preferences

The fancy models are why people like them. The same could be said about the majority of factions. People don't tend to fangirl over the factions they don't like the look of. Most people only have a vague interest in the lore.

If I lived in 40k I would be a Crusader with the cool armor and shield and I would be the bodyguard for an Ordo Hereticus inquisitor. I would help her with her investigations and she would be impressed by my loyalty and strength and we would fall in love. We would have a long and happy career killing heretics together until one day we both die valiantly destroying a den of bad guys and I heroically sacrifice myself to finish the mission and we both die in a big explosion and the last thing we do is hold hands.

BL is only an issue for xenos fans who pretend their factions aren't NPCs. The reaction to Voidscarred has shown how truly laughable Eldarfags are, just as The Infinite And The Divine made fools of Necronfags.

The Imperium didn't take anything back in Damocles though (well, they did for a moment but then the campaign ended and it was the Tau's again). Plus let's be honest, the Imperium is never going to be able to afford to wipe out the Tau. They couldn't afford the resources required back before the Tyranids were a thing and before the Necrons had woken up en masse. They're sure as fuck not gonna be able to do it now that the Tau have tripled in size and gotten a bunch of new technology.

So yeah, the Tau are pretty safe from the Imperium. Other factions maybe not, but the Imperium will never be able to afford the resources they so desperately need on other friends to fight the Tau to extinction.

But I've finally realized that the only person who is going to look after my happiness is myself. It's going to be tough, and expensive, and I know a lot of people won't understand. But I know that this is the path to me living the kind of life I want to live.

The deal is that many of the Necrons who haven't fallen into complete madness or apathy don't even bother talking to humans since they consider them to be that insignificant, like an annoying spec of dirt.

Depends on the craftworld. Iyanden and Saim Hann, sure. Biel Tan and especially Alaitoc, nope. Others like Ulthwé are schizo. While Ulthwé is the craftworld that has bailed the Imperium out the most, they're also the ones most likely to do the whole "kill billions of humans to ensure one of their own doesn't stub their toe 300 years in the future," and are the ones who have contributed most to the perfidous Eldar stereotypes.

The Eldar 'hater' is an Eldar player that makes really shitty and often half-formed arguments to then cause counter-posting from other Eldar players, which he then responds to with arrogant and incorrect follow ups to make the Eldar players appear more intelligent and stable compared to the 'unhinged Eldar hater'.

I mean, it's not wrong. There's snippets of Imperium lore stating that they've lost hundreds of billions of Guardsmen fighting on a single Tau planet. And they still haven't taken it yet. And morale is only NOW starting to drop.

It's honestly may favorite lore because it harkens back to the OG idea of the Imperium just...fucking throwing manpower wastefully at things.

When I was younger, I used to hate the Eldar and think they were gay. As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate the aesthetic and lore, though that might be because of my foray into WFB, which has some of the best elves.

Shot of a hive ganger almost stabbing someone then it being stopped by an enforcer grabbing his arm. shots of a hive ganger getting recruited/ putting on armor after being released from bondage. A montage of a planetary governer commissioning a band of mercenaries in cadian gear. Then *10 months later* screen. Hive ganger is holding the body of his friend (who we saw in the first shot) in a trench (very shallow and poorly built). The sky is warpfire red, his comrades are being killed around him by nondescript fire and enemies we don't see. a horde of Somethings is jumping over the trench (pink horrors) completely ignoring what they consider is already just dead bodies in the trench. Close up shot of main ganger grabbing his knife in the same manner as first scene. Full of anger He climbs his dead comrades to plunge his knife into a charging horror, and grabs an autogun off the ground to spray wildly until you hear the gun click out of ammo he grabs the knife back and with both hands plunges it into another horror before getting hit by a blast of warp red.
it fades to black to reveal the skeletal body of this ganger with his distinctive knife in his hands and stuck in a horror's skull. A tank rolls over his body and cracks his skull with no big fanfare. The sky is no longer red, any rudimentary trench buildings are just blasted into mud. Leman russes pass and one carrying a small flag on the back stops in the camera. It flutters in the wind and it zooms in on the company motto.

2 boxes is 1,000 points and you'll use everything in them in pretty much any large Harlequin force. Except the second Solitaire, of course, but that's easy kitbash fodder.

It's also a FOMO box and it's extremely unlikely that we'll get another Harlequin box any time soon. So if somebody is interested, now is the time.

Game 1 was against Chaos Knights. He ran an Atrapos and a double Battlecannon despoiler. He ran more daemons than me, so i ended up getting boxed in. By the time I could get out he just had too many points.
>>
>>96841383
Apparently you can run straight up harlequins in drukhari now, so the thought of getting two boxes of clowns is really tempting me. I know theyre probably not all that strong but I always wanted a harlequin army even before I started 40k. Drukhari also have some nice models so mixing the two just sounds like a good idea.

>>96841407
Hmm, I'll get one and then if Im still tempted after I buy it and paint up a couple models ill think about getting a second. Seems a bit much at first.

Game 3 was another CK mirror. Dude ran a Tyrant, 2 despoilers, a Lancer and a Rampager. I couldn't do enough damage to kill any of his bigs, even with spiking super hard on lethals to kill his Lancer, so after I killed 2 of his knights he killed 3 of mine and I couldn't do anything after that.

In some ways, I can definitely see a problem, and in other ways, if it was 10 Russ' in a trenchcoat, it causes a lot of the same issues in terms of play patterns.

slant lists where only a small portion of your opponents roster have a hope in hell of doing something to you suck for any game, and knights are factions dedicated to that bullshit. you either have a list built to deal with them or you don't, and the game isn't much fun in either case.
>>
>>96841478
Now I have to switch to the Knight Hater side. Its not about them being unstoppable its about a skew list that can only ever skew with high wounds and high toughness. It would be like having a faction comprised entirely of Impulsors, and you always have to build your list knowing people like me are going to be at the store on gameday and thats just what the faction does. You'll have an individual LGS where some max Carnifex hero exists, and if you know he's running it thats a problem, but Knights are Carnifex guy by default and now there's 4 showing up almost guaranteed. So instead of "ah I got Carnifex guy, bad luck but my list is otherwise good" to "I need to dedicate x% of my army because theres 4 carnifex guys."

They'd much rather fight and grow their own numbers on imperial worlds.

When it comes to Chaos and the Tau generally speaking there's a sort of....weird dynamic at play. Chaos has trouble affecting the Tau, and the Tau have trouble affecting Chaos, since they're both pretty resistant to each other. That said, because the Tau were having trouble damaging the Death Guard (Chaos + Nurgle blessings was making for a godawful tanky combo) they've since then created their own psyker corp to help combat it, as well as created warp-weapons via experimentation with some of the warp artifacts they found that have seen success against the Thousand Sons.

That's why Chaos usually ignores the Tau. Why fight hard for such a small meal? Same with the Tyranids, sure, they could invade Tau worlds, but the Tau are very resistant to genestealers, and their weapons tend to be much more damaging than what the Imperium so, so they'd be expending more flesh for less return.

That isn't to say that neither would, eventually, destroy the Tau if the Imperium fell, but the Imperium is very much the easy juicy meal that they can get for pennies on the dollar.

Hmm, is it just the lack of good Mordian art?

Not to mention the sheer number of Imperial worlds ripe for the picking due to poor management. Xenos and Chaos have such an easy time infiltrating.

Yea you're right the Tau are worthless and incredibly weak.

The cries of the the fridgeless. The wailing of the collage forsaken. The whimpers of painting tips ignored.

I can't decide how to paint my Necrons.
Classic Neon Green or Regal Ancient Egypt Blue? I'm close to saying "fuck it" and painting them like Szarekhan mooks.

That too. Imperial worlds are basically an open buffet of despair and crowded together, poorly ran hellholes that make it extremely easy for Chaos cults and Genestealer cults to spread.

Why did this autarch of the month get additional art and get to be in the card game? Did she survive the campaign she's from?
>>
>>96841638
no one cares about that except you and me you dumb freak.

>>96840739
Well it's unfortunate they got gyped out of DOW4 starting roster but I imagine Chaos vs Eldar is the obvious pick for the first expansion with IG as the day 1 dlc

It did?

It very much is. Mordian's sole cool pics are:
>Crying PTSD woman by the fire
>Mordians charging out of a Chimera
>A very old pic of mordians advancing next to a commissar. Or an officer. Idk. They all wear officer caps anyways.

It did enough damage to put Guilliman into terminal depression.

>the Imperium would kill billions of humans just to stub an Eldar's toe
Yeee that was a lil funny ngl heh heh. At least mankind does have the numbers for it. Kinda weird that the Human's Power is kinda the same as Orks but okay
>>
>>96841627
I still think it'll be Catachans up next, but I wouldn't be upset if Vostroyans got some love
>>
>>96841627
Which regiment is fourth place nowadays anyway? Mordian or Vostroyan? Armageddon?
>>
>>96841692
That's sort of the Imperium's major downfall desu. The Imperium treats humanity like a disposable swarm to be thrown at our enemies en masse.....except that doesn't work against basically every enemy the Imperium has.
>Tyranids straight up eat your disposable swarm and use it to make more Tyranids.
>Orks literally make more Orks by dying, and if you don't kill them, they grow stronger, so you lose either way.
>Chaos has literally infinite daemons and can corrupt your soldiers.
>Necrons just respawn after you kill them and come in massive numbers as well
>Tau have long-range weapons and can set up killing fields from a safe distance while using propaganda to turn your own soldiers against you
The Imperium is dying because they were so good at exterminating aliens before but now all of the aliens left are aliens that their primary strategy doesn't work against.

That one was fun too
>>96840788
>Necrons who haven't fallen into complete madness or apathy don't even bother talking to humans since they consider them to be that insignificant, like an annoying spec of dirt
I like that this explains why Necrons were initially silent, unreasoning and omnicidal. Like, you don't excuse yourself to ants when killing them ... even though these ants are kinda your same size and sort of look like you back when you had flesh...
Anyways, that's why I now curse and belittle ants when I kill them. I want them to know it IS personal.

She specifically got raped to death by the Warpsmith after her entire warhost was massacred.

You don't have any imperial fists you have no models, and especially not cool yellow ones

>>96841713
She survived and fucked over his whole plan.

Okay but what ELSE can mankind actually do? They cannot fight better, as only a few are Schola grade, and if you run the numbers, only one person per world gets to be a space marine (1 million planets, 1000 chapters of 1000 marines). Mankind cannot shoot better, as top production already pumps as many plasma guns as it can, and a trillion lasguns can still only do so much. So what's Mankind going to do, NOT sacrifice people?
They do that because they can't really do much else

Now? Nothing. It's too late for the Imperium, the rot is too deep. The time to change their strategy and ways was way back during the Great Crusade era, now they are left to deal with the consequences of their own actions.

But, had I been the Emperor, I would not have done the things he did. Instead of a handful of fanciful supersoldiers and a massive but ill-governed territory, I would've focused on improving the territory I did have to the best level that it could be, and then giving my soldiers better gear and training such that each individual Guardsmen would be Tempestus Scion tier, and well-supported with air cover and mechanization to boot. Quality over quantity in every aspect.

When possible yeah. Oftentimes I feel like I don't have the chance to shoot what I need with all the stuff that needs to do it though
>>
>>96841354
yes, it's a meme for dwarfs

Ya know, I wonder how she would react if you actually bowed down. Would that catch her off guard, or does she believe her own hype so much she'd be like, "Yes, that's what you're supposed to do."
>>
>>96840409
Topic aside, that's actually some cool art.
>>
>>96841127
Not paying $270 for that.

>>96841640
I started classic Szarekhan, then I've shifted to black bodies with neon green, neon blue, or neon red weaponry, eyes, and highlights. Looks neat
