Which Eldar Craftworld is your favorite? Whether it's for their color scheme or lore. Saim-Hann is my personal favorite because they are the less stoic and less jerky than the other Craftworld's. Plus their color scheme and combat doctrine is pretty cool (Red goez Fasta)

Mymeara here. Awesome storyline in the Imperial Armour book and way awesome color scheme.

Biel-Tan, based solely on the colour scheme. I don't care too much about the story for the main Craftworlds - they're not overly endearing to me. And I say that as a life long Eldar player.

back in 5th, when i was briefly considering starting an Eldar force, i always found the Lugganath "corsairs and renegades", or the Altansar shady "what have the been up to in the Eye of Terror" fluff aspect an interesting enough starting concept.

But alas, that collection never started.

Difficult choice because each Craftworld has something about it I really enjoy, but ultimately I think Biel Tan wins out because I love the Aspect Warrior heavy armies. They were also the army that got me into the game. And story wise I like the optimism they have about reclaiming their empire. Of course they're in for big changes now that GS2 has passed.

Pretty much this.

Also, love the Biel-Tan color scheme, vines, and details. Plus I greatly enjoy my rainbow of Aspect Warriors; having all those different colors ensures I am always super excited to paint them and make up a new shrine.

Altansar, their colors and their, limited, story are good. Also I'll have to say Mymeara, again, colors and story. Plus they brought us the Shadow Spectres.

Uthwe. teetering on the edge of the eye of terror, full of psychers. every citizen at the ready as guardians (but better) also they may mess up sometime sbut they at least are always trying to use their psychic foresight to help the galaxy at large (though admitadly skewing it to the elder advantage)

Saim-Hann. Bike riding hot-heads for the win!

Thuyelesa - everything a craftworld should be.

Mael'tai (or how ever it was spelt)

because they were some tasty tasty snacks for the Nids

Well played Good Sir.

Has to be Saim-Hann for me. First got me interested in the idea of barbaric eldar that eventually led to me diving off the deep end with my exodites

Mymeara. I just really love shadow specters and the whole "we're the last craftworld left" mentality.

Probably Biel-Tan for the color scheme and Iyanden for the story. Wraithbone constructs are also probably my favorite part of Eldar lore, so Iyanden using so many is also appealing for me.

(Used to be) Biel-tan, always have enjoyed both the Aspect Warriors and the Khaine mythos. These days I don't really know anymore. They all seem kinda pathetic.

Maybe Iyanden.
