We'll measure the veteran status of Eldar players by the layer of dust on their models.

Anybody else ever get like this? Pre-cursor; big whiny rant ahead

I'm a long time Eldar player. Been in and out of the hobby a couple of times but have always had a soft spot for the space elves.

I've trawled eBay for metal sculpts over the years and made the best of fine cast. I've lived with 20+ year old sculpts for quite some time - and never had an issue with that fact.

I have quite liked being one of the only Eldar players I know because frankly, there are other armies out there than have been updated many times since. Eldar have been left behind.

AND THEN... GW announce a nice new spangly Eldar set and suddenly every man and his dog plans to collect them.

There should be a tax that if you want to start playing Eldar you have to fully paint and play with the old sculpts first

In all seriousness now... I guess what I don't want, more than anything, is to be thought of as a meta chaser because I have the 'in' army.

Hate the idea of people assuming I only play my beloved Craftworld minis because they're new or top tier (assuming they will be).

I've played them at their worst and hopefully look forward to also playing them at their best, but I have to be honest, if Craftworld players start popping up everywhere, I won't want to be among them. I'll end up packing them away until the hype wears off.

What kind of person does that make me? I know it's super salty of me, and I don't want to feel like that... I know i'm being daft! But If i'm being honest, I have to admit, it will bug me a bit.

Here's hoping that everybody gets too persuaded by the new T'au Rail Gun instead...


I mean, you're going to be showing up with your drinking aged models. Should be a big indicator that you're not likely a meta chaser. Particularly if everything is painted on day one of the codex drop.

Sounds like you suffer from Eldar hipster status my friend, no worries while you may lose that special snowflake feeling for your army rest assured everyone else will most likely be paying through the nose for their new hotness. While also being highly likely to despair at the huge cost then try to flip the new kits at a loss to recover some of the loss of money as opposed to drown in the debt to make the army of their dreams from the new eldar kits.

In the end you'll end up most likely the only long haul eldar player as soon as the new model smell dies down and the reality of SSDD settle in like poor choices after a heavy drinking binge become clear in the awful light of day.

Just like the start of 8th when every other player became a Guard player for a bit of time only to then drop them like a scalding hot plate of holiday ham. Only to I am sure become a hardcore guard lover when they ever get all their new kits once more with matching codex and the process begins all over again. It's the circle of gaming life in 40k.
