<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?
I'm starting to think about a second army (I won't start buying for a long old while yet).

I'd like Eldar mostly for fluff reasons - but most of the other players in my circle have an Eldar force.

I don't like Dark Eldar fluff (what there is of it) and frankly, I don't like playing bad guys.

How plausable is it to play Eldar (Using >50% Eldar models), but use the DE codex? As in use the DE warrior stats for my guardians etc?

I'm not too aversed to using some of the DE vehicles because they are groovy looking and I can take the spikes off them - but it's important that the army is Eldar in fluff terms.


(I'm aware that the DE codex is fairly anemic these days, I can live with that).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1468805.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1468805.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex? DE troops. Obviously you would have to go through what your army is actually representing with your opponent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1468812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1468812.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex? - Autarch as Lord
- Avengers as Warriors
- Banshees as Wyches
- Scorpions as Incubi
- Hawks as Hellions

I don't want to use Eldar models as DE - I want to use DE rules for Eldar.

I want a Craftworld Eldar army - but without using the Eldar Codex.

Does this come under "you can't have your cake and eat it too" ?

Anyone else getting confused?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1469748.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1469748.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?
don't worry about it, the eldar codex is fine as it is. Plus, DE can't have holo-fields.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1469783.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1469783.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?

How they are painted, their fluff etc. is not relevant to the rules you use to play them. So, you're saying the same thing. If you want to use DE rules for your Craftworld Eldar army, that's fine. But it's the same thing as using Eldar models as DE. You still have to proxy the stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1470429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1470429.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex? OP: if you're not liking the replies (and they're pretty fair), maybe you should rethink your army concept?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1470663.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1470663.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?
Sorry folks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1470714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1470714.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex? Mmm... playing DE woth the Eldar codex is possible, but what you say... ok it's possible and you can do it, but why do you want to?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1471242.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1471242.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?
But now I'm thinking instead of playing codex musical chairs I'd be better of using the propper 'dex and making my army my own through unique and flavourful fluff and build.

I'm thinking HQ: Twin sisters, one a Farseer, one an Autarch, different, yet inseperable, night and day. I love shining Spears, so I'll use a lot of them, and a cool colour scheme. Maybe black and silver?

I recon that the Fantasy 'Aristocratic Vampire' could make an awesome Farseer with a little converting. (The Autarch would naturally be on a Jetbike because it's so cool).


So... Yeah, thanks Dakka - you have helped me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1471776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1471776.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?

Well, nice idea you have, have luck and enjoy! ^^]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1472931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1472931.page GMT Re:Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex? vastly unique idea. Shining spears are certainly unique though, I haven't ever seen any fielded before!

If you don't mind waiting, a new Dark Eldar codex is hiding just beyond the horizon. Nobody can say how counts-as happy with Craftworld Eldar it'll be, but you never know.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1473160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1473160.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex?
Nah, seriously, I suppose it's just confirmation that it's a cool idea if two other people also had it and ran/will run with it.

For the record - I had pictured my Autarch on a jetbike, but not my Farseer - she's the reserved, level-headed one who hangs out in the Wave serpent.

It'll be unique in my neck of the woods, though, and that's about all a chap can ask of life.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1473322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1473322.page GMT Craftworld Eldar with the DE codex? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1473363.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288125/1473363.page GMT
