I want my Eldar Army to be themed as Eldar Pirates, or Corsairs (Not Dark Eldar)

But while I've got a very vivid miage in my mind of what human pirates would look like, I'm not sure what Eldar Pirates would look like, so I thought I'd ask my fellow players for conversion ideas.  (I'm not looking for army list or wargear suggestions, but modeling conversion suggestions)

Any and all help is appreciated. 


Man, that's the joy of Anime! To revel in the complete and utter wastefullness of making an unstoppable nuclear-powered combat andriod in the shape of a cute little girl, who has the ability to fall in love and wears an enormous bow in her hair.

In the modelling section of the 4th edition 40k book is a very nice Eldar Corsair Kill team that should get you started.

I'd say a nice mix of high elf, wood elf (not too woodsy parts, but the half mask heads!) and dark elf (not to bladey) mixed with eldar guardians and autarchs would look right.

Y'riel himself looks pretty aloof and daring as he is, so he would be a good character model to use for the basis of a pirate prince. (hell he WAS a pirate prince)

Basically, just like human pirates, eldar pirates probably don't have uniforms, and bring whatever weapons they personally own. Lots of personalized wargear, maybe even just with their names engraved on them or extra jewels, or an engraved pattern on their swords and equipment??

But start with the 40k rulebook in the kill team section.
