What in the world are you talking about?

The Eldar have still, knowingly, diverted Ork Waaghs into major human systems to end a potential threat to dozens of Eldar lives--effectively killing billions to save dozens.
The Eldar have still raided, constantly, Imperial worlds.

The only race the (Craftworld at least) Eldar don't seem to fight is the Tau--and I'd be surprised if there's absolutely no instances of violence between the two.

Necrons have still killed entire worlds. You have to be seriously ignoring things to claim that the Necrons are friendlier than the Eldar.

Yes, the Eldar do lots of bad things. Which is why I think they come off crueler as current Necrons, who Ward is presenting as "misunderstood" for the most part. Also I don't think the Eldar would trade at all with lesser races.

What are you talking about? Have you even read the new Fluff?!

**Ascalam**

Depends on the craft world/Exodite world.

I remeber some instances of Eldar trading with Rogue traders etc, back when.

Biel Tan would rather die than trade with humans, most likely, but that doesn't meant they all would. I can see Saim-Hann being a bit more laid back about it.

That said, why would they. They have no need of outside trade, so it's a bit of a straw man anyway

**TheAngrySquig**

I think that the Ekdar are similar to Orks in that way. Some would trade with humans, but most would rather just smack them and take the stuff

They never were.

**FlammingGaunt**

Umm anyone remember the Slann?

**Ascalam**

They're a bit deadish..

**TheAngrySquig**

I thought fantasy and 40k were in close to the same time period?

Why would anyone be disgusted by humanity in 40k? Almost everyone in 40k who are not dicks in one capacity or another are failures and thus extinct. Acting like dickc by committing geno/xenoc-cide, maximum torture and such is pretty much a past time for 40k races.

**TheAngrySquig**

What about those Interex guys, weren't they just chillin until Horus came along?

**Deathly Angel**

The Interex weren't disgusted by Humanity nor ancient or emotionless, they were humans who wished to reunite with their legendary ancestors from Earth, but were cautious for any signs of 'Kaos' taint. The only reason they turned on Horus was because of Erebus.

This would be a perfect idea!

Ancient: Created in the Dark Age of Technology, were partly responsible for the Age of Strife. No race would be as old as the Necrontr though, unless you were to do an army of Old Ones, which created Humanity, and are extinct anyway. They'd only be suitable for single display models, anyway.

Disguisted by humanity: The day to day lives of humans came to depend entirely on them. The Men of Iron were infinitely more intelligent than human beings, and might have came to regrd humanity with contempt, then disdain. Why should they be slaves to these lesser creatures? They were in every way surperior to their creators.

Emotional: They would feel emotion, as the reason for rebellion was, probably, fueled by their indignity at being enslaved to primitive flesh creatures. There's also a theory as to the Void Dragon's influence being a factor in the rebellion.

There's a thread with every piece of background there is about the Men of Iron with lots of spectulation, it's a really interesting read: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/401993.page

I might steal that idea and do a Men of Iron army sometime in the future, maybe use the new Necrons for conversion.

Iron Men

**TheAngrySquig**

What about their friends the Warmachines

I do believe you're thinking of the old ones the Slann are still around, at least they were in 4th edition.

For that alone i'd buy it, space frog awesomeness aside..

In the grimdarkness of the forty first millennium, there are only chubby frog men

TheAngrySquig wrote:In the grimdarkness of the forty first millennium, there are only chubby frog men

Actually the Slann in 40k are a lot more fit than the fantasy Slann. Also I had another idea you could try for a mechanium army with the necrons.

**TheAngrySquig**

That Men of Iron thing sounded good, the Mechanicum are a bit young. And are the Slann really fit in 40k?

**Ktulhut**

Theres a picture of one in the 4e book. Its built like a lizardman saurus but with frog details instead of lizard ones. Its red, with golden, baroque/Roman wargear and armour. Look on lexicanum.

**TheAngrySquig**

Wow... I think there actually uglier now then when fat

**Ktulhut**

I think you might be playing games in the wrong "universe" tbh. You keep trying to find factions that arent jerks or ugly. Welcome to the 41st millenium, where EVERYONE is an ugly jerk.

**TheAngrySquig**

Nah, I don't care that much about the jerkishness and Eldar are to proud to be ugly. I was just wondering if their was any HIGH ADVENTURE as opposed to just war

Elaborate.

**Ascalam**

Wrong setting:

'There is only War! ' is the 40k catchphrase

**Ktulhut**

Ascalam wrote:Wrong setting:

This.

**TheAngrySquig**

Yeah, I'll probably end up doing something like, a group of Eldar questing about the stars blowing gak up with their star guns, and engaging in HIGH ADVENTURE whenever possible
