I'm curious about which history resonates the most for players.

Which Craftworld have you seen represented on the gaming table most often?

Is it one of the established Craftwords from the fluff? If so, which one?

Is homebrewed, user made, what you see the most of?

Or possibly unpainted/indeterminate/haven't decided yet?

All the Eldar armies I have seen appear to be from a home made Craftworld

My favorite one is Biel-Tan, but i will play a custom craftworld, just because i'm not a fan of the color scheme and i love creating my own flavor.

I like Iyanden, but Il-Kaithe is also pretty cool (just for background though).

In my local area Saim-hann is the most popular amongst kiddies as it's the colours that appear on most of the Eldar boxes. Amongst older players, then yes, it is usually homemade craftworlds.

Saim hann and iyanden are popular, but not all the cool, imo.

3/5 Eldar players I know Play Ulthwe. And 1 Played Iyanden.

I quite like Saim-hann. Their colour scheme is cool

I play Saimm-hann.

Most other Eldar players seem to play either Biel-Tan or Ulthwe.

I play Biel-tan.. I see Saimm-hann or Ulthwe the most though.

Of the GW ones, I like Alatansar best. I've decided to go with my own Craftworld and use my own colour scheme and fluff though.

Ulthwe followed by Iyanden are what I've seen the most of. My Eldar are homebrew, loosely based on Biel-Tan (dark green, codex grey helmets), who were always my favourite when you the craftworld codex was kickin'.

I used to play Ulthwe and now play Altansar (more fluff freedom while still having some interesting stuff and a sweet color scheme) but everyone else who plays Eldar in my area plays a custom Craftworld (usually just a paint scheme with no fluff, but such is how it is in my area).

Usually custom; but the most common codex varieties seem to be ulthwe (which I imagine the DOW series as a lot to do with) and Iyanden.

Personally I have an Alaitoc army, and a custom.

I play a custom, which is pretty much Alaitoc with white instead of yellow.

Yme Loc!!

I play exodites! Well, an exodite colony of Biel Tann, but their coloring and methodology are different enough that they're their own army.

I've only seen two other eldar players locally: one running Iyanden and the other their own craftworld.

I've mostly played Ulthwe and Saim-Hann, though the local regulars don't play them much.

Back in 2nd ed days everyone played Ulthwe. I play Biel-Tan because I dig painting the tanks, and if I didn't choose them I would have gone with Alaitoc. Also for cool paint

Mostly people make up thier own for a pool of reasons (including me).mine woud be because none of them really matched up with my ideas for a craftoworld,and because most exodites were outright slaughtered (go ahead lexicanium it)

Most i see are Saim-Hann of Ulthwe. Mine are Siam-Hann because that was what was on the box when i first started collecting, i may change it but tbh i don't mind, and don't fancy re-painting all those models.

I usually see fan created craftworlds, but I do biel-tan. I picked Biel-tan because I like the color scheme and artwork, but if I were to start again today, I would have made my own color scheme and background.
