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...
