I am going to make my own craft world so I can choose my own scheme and write a back story to my army. This will be their marking.

Generally, although its often less detailed, Lexicanum is much more accurate and 'factual' than the 40K Wiki in most opinions:

Does it by filtering out all the crap on the way in.

Cool I still don't know if I can create my own Craftworld??? ... Can I???

And thanks Dave For the Codex!

You can pretty much do what you want. In game terms all that will be different is the colours and a preference for some units over others. So long as you follow the codex, you're good to go. There is also a forge world book (one of the Imperial Armour ones, I forget which) that has more rules for Eldar.

Haha! Thank you for looking at it!

But yes you can; you should follow the rules, but you can give it your own name, colour, story, composition etc.

What do you think would be a good name for it because I can't think of one

http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/elvish/eng_to_elv.html here is some elvish words. Hope you can figure something out...

Ok thanks

Ok you knnow how squads such as striking scorpians are green in the photographs you see are they always supposed to be like that or are they also supposed to be the colour of your craftworld???

You can do what you like. Most aspect warriors have some of the color of their craftworld mixed in, but you could easily reverse that (for example, most in craftworld colors, with helmets or w/e in special colors), or do whatever you like, really, though making them identical in colors sort of defeats the point of aspect warriors (cool accents to your army)

Well, the studio paint scheme for the different Aspects is supposed to be universal accross the diffferent Craftworlds. Non-aspect units will wear the Craftworld's colors.

But its your army, paint it as you wish.

I know but I want it too look legit

The aspects each have their own uniform color scheme (orange armor with yellow helmets for Fire Dragons, blue armor with white helmets for Dire Avengers, etc.) but you can add your own flair to tie them into your Craftworld. For instance, the loincloths on most of these models are a popular choice to paint in your craftworld colors. I've seen Dire Avengers with red loincloths with a black stripe to represent Saim-Hann and so on.

Also, please use capitalization and punctuation in your posts. It will make them much more legible, and people will take you more seriously if you do.

You can paint/model any army any way you want really.

In the grim present of miniature wargaming, there is only one rule: have your models painted before taking them to the table.

How can you make your ranking Striking Scorpion

Its the number of posts you have.

My craftworld has been Kurom Kiam which means Dragon's fire from an old eldar dictionary I found years ago. I use this paint scheme:




I use the white to yellow to red as showing fire hot and cooling as it goes back and the black crack to show like lava cooling. The Black with the lighter cracks as cooled off on top and hot underneath.
You can do anything you want as far as creating your craftworld as long as you use the codex for play.

Hmmmmmmmm...

I like it you are a great painter!!!
