Why does so many 40k fans ALL hate the Eldar?
>>
>>739472531
>jobbers

>directly caused the birth of a chaos god
>spineless
>boring
The list goes on and on and on.
>>
Mostly due to them being very ugly
>>
Who cares what mon'keigh think lol, lmao even.
>>
>>739472531
extremely bad marketing
neon heavy-metal-album-cover elves were popular in the 1980s, but that aspect has been pretty well neutered and nothing viable has been provided to replace it
>>
Aren't they basically the elves of the setting? No one likes elves.
>>
>>739473095
No, fat hairy manlets that self insert as dwarves don't like elves, as well as you because you don't have a thought in your head that wasn't put there by someone else.
>>
>>739473095
Yet everyone loves them in Fantasy
>>
>>739473293
Fantasy is dead lil bro.
>>
>>739472531
The average 40K fan is in it for the funny big pauldron guys screaming at each other and maybe the cool monsters they fight (orks, necrons, nids, daemons), and those people usually think the shitty aliens that aren't cool monsters (tau, eldar, nu-squats) are faggy and icky and for weebs and only good to be drawn getting humiliated and curbstombed by spehhs muhreens
>>
>>739472531
Because GW is a retarded company. They'll market something, see that it gains traction, and pander to its fans with more marketing.

Vice versa, they'll release something, give it little to no marketing, and then wonder why nobody fucking wants it. Basically what happened to Leagues of Votann and the Eldar at this point.

I'm the only one that runs Eldar at my LGS and I always see a gross side-eye when I win.
>>
What if the big push of corsairs lately means we are getting an eldar corsair game? Something akinbto Black Flag but your ship is a spaceship and your crew are corsair voidscarred, and you play a felarch?
>>
>>739474912
They are jealous of your superiority.
>>
because they're pointless
they have zero reason to interact with the setting at large and fill no role in it that other, more popular factions don't already do so they just end up repeating the exact same plot beats to try and justify their existence
the only thing they have is maiden worlds and there's nothing special about them besides that the eldar like them because there are plenty of regular garden worlds
>>
>>739475078
Maiden world's are special for two reasons. The first being they have a naturally occurring version of craftworld infinity circuits. The second is that they are worlds terraformed by the old eldar empire.

>intro to Eldar in vidya is to have them scheme and sacrifice their allies
>same trend continues in every following title
Gee, I wonder why.

Untrue, this is the tabletop popularity of each faction.
>>
>>739475224
My first intro to Eldar via vidya was them causing Orks to retreat which was pretty cool.
>>
>>739475259
Why are Death Guard so high? They good in TT? I can't imagine the fart suckers being a more appealing choice than any other chaos legion

>Just need 3 more units and to paint them all and I got myself a 1k army
If I were to make a second army and it's Dark Eldar, would my opponents get even more pissed off?

I love eldar, I wasted my Saturday night drawing this even. Dire avengers are my favourite aspect warriors.

>this is the tabletop popularity of each faction.
That's actually a competitive win rate for each faction if I remember correctly.
>>
>>739475415
Dark Eldar are typically the "This guy is a douche" army if they're your main. Ironically though, they might just think you have a thing for Elves if you run both in and out.
>>

8th edition had them as the villain faction

It's because 40kfags get mad when their narrative wanking for their gay space marines fails to live up to success at the tabletop. >>739474912
Speed is superior and good Eldar players stomp in tourneys.

>Ironically though, they might just think you have a thing for Elves if you run both in and out
I was also thinking of making my second faction be either Black Legion or World Eaters but everyone suggested at my LGS to do Drukhari since I'm the only Eldar player some have fought I think.
>>
>>739472531
Eternal jobbers.
>>
>>739475573
I could never do Black Legion, they're the Ultramarines of chaos in my eyes. But Drukhari can be fun to paint. Just know if you ever take it to a tournament or something where no one knows you, you'll probably be inspected far more than anyone else.
>>
>>739475206
And that's exactly what i'm referring to, that they're exodite infinity circuits doesn't matter when craftworlders stick their shit into their craftworld's circuit and the craftworld should literally never leave the depths of space for safety and the second is redundant when half of the imperium is reclaimed colonies and half of the necrons is awakening tomb worlds.
The high elves have the world roots and various nexus points of the vortex they have to defend or else chaos gets tangibly stronger which leads to internal struggle where half of them do think they should just defend Ulthuan rather than meet their foes in the field. They have background reasons for complex relationships with every other faction. As it stands the eldar have less reason to exist than the dark eldar do and they're just a dumber version of druchii slavers
>>
>>739475573
Im still learning the game and rules as I have only played twice, but out of all the armies I have seen so far at my Games Workshop, it has been:
>Necron and Tau galore
>1 Ork player
>1 Thousand Sons player
>1 Death Guard player
>2 Tyranid players
>1 Dark Angels player
There is so much Xenos armies at my GW it's insane.
>>
>>739475740
At mine it's chaos. I'm pretty sure each legion in the CSM codex has a dedicated player or two with 2000+ points in minis. No Mechanicum or Sororitas players.
>>
>>739472531
Everyone has always hated elves.
They deserve it.
Even space elves.
>>
>>739476401
Guy that got styled on by an eldar player detected.
>>
>>739475259
Necron chads stay winning
>>
>>739476401
I like elves
>>
>>739472531
naah, that's Tau. elfdar are the femboy faction tho
