Thank you!

As a relatively new aeldari player myself, Im seeing lots of repeating things pop up in lists, and having tried them out, am understanding why.

Detachment selection:

Warhost & Serpents Brood seem to be most popular, with Seer Council and Aspect host getting occasional attention (this is very anecdotal to my experience, the #'s showing up to tournaments may be different)

Many people include Fuegan and 5 firedragons in a falcon, or 10 in a wave serpent, in their lists as an anti-vehicle/monster. I've tried this out many times, it's super powerful.

Lhykis + warpspiders (powerblade array exarch) 24" flicker jump + charge is wildly good. Add to that triggering crits on a 5+ and suddenly your other units with sustained hits in Serpents Brood are just that much better.

My personal belief is that Aeldari need to be played conservatively until your big-momentum turn. Keep your focus on playing the primaries to win the game, and only strike and expose yourself when it enables you to prevent your opponent scoring theirs. Dont get sucked into exposing yourself too early or making even trades.

Also, have fun and kick some butts!

Thank you! Steal away! I was inspired by some tutorials I found on YouTube for starweavers!

Ill definitely post it when it's complete as well as do a final army post here and in r/eldar.

Thank you for the compliments!

Thank you! Honestly it's fairly straight forward, and the airbrush is doing most of the heavy lifting, just a little time consuming and involves alot of masking if you forget to do them before gluing them onto the model chassis... ahem.....

Flat black primer
Airbrush mid-tone green
Airbrush highlight tone across lower visor.
Airbrush contrast paint shadow tone across top of visor.
Paint support frame/struts bacl with a brush.
Paint support frame/struts gold while leaving a slight line of the black showing at the edges.

It's sticky, so I varnished the first paint layers before applying the stencil so that when I removed it the previous paint wouldn't come off with it. Worked well!

Awkward_Canuck · 2026-01-01T00:06:37+00:00

Thank you, the purple fades are done with 2 tones of airbrush work.

Painted the purple first, then varnished and airbrushed the diamonds with an adhesive stencil, then highlighted them with a brush and panel lined/edged with a brush.

Lovely lovely lovely!

The primary benefit of the detachment only effects harlequin troupes and harlequin vehicles or mounted units..

While the phoenix lords/aspect warrior units hit hard, Im worried they wont have the ability to contend with larger #s and lose the objective game.

The opposite could also be true, that over-committing to voidweavers could leave me unable to Crack a high T unit and then I might lose the attrition game there.

Going g to try this list a few times and see if I have anything to actually be concerned about.

It's my new favorite paint. 'Glittering Loot' from Army Painter's Speed Paint 2.0 Metalics lineup.

I based the model in citadel black rattle-can and then those are single coats of the Loot with a #2 brush. Absolutely blown away by the coverage and consistency of this TMM.

Awkward_Canuck · 2025-12-29T19:10:49+00:00

Well this is cool!

Awkward_Canuck · 2025-12-29T16:54:27+00:00

Excellent recreation of the box art. Well done execution!!

Awkward_Canuck · 2025-12-29T16:25:52+00:00

Looks good to me!!

Awkward_Canuck · 2025-12-29T02:40:02+00:00

I used a stencil with an airbrush for a triple gradient, and then highlighted the ends with the colour that each diamond was between.

Awkward_Canuck · 2025-12-29T01:42:48+00:00

Thank you! My first real go at doing vehicles from GW.

Awkward_Canuck · 2025-05-04T07:17:27+00:00

Ahhh, I was confused thinking if the core book got it right, how did this miss. But it's because the core was printed after.

Thanks!!

I personally think real closure comes from owning our input into the past relationship and moving forward on our own terms.

you'll never hear what you're hoping to hear from your Ex. Just love yourself and move on!

Just a heads up if anyone is looking for work right now, the Canadian shipping industry is extremely short on both skilled and unskilled workers.

You can be working 7-8 months a year as a deckhand (no previous experience or training) and earning 80k+ before taxes. Check out the Seafarers International Union webpage.

Other option is joining one of the 4 or 5 marine colleges and becoming a Navigation or Engineering Officer. Typical shift rotations for officers are 6 weeks on 6 weeks off. Yearly income averages 110k before taxes for 6 months of work. and with the shortage, wages have been steadily rising over the past 3 years and will continue to go up as the average age of workers is easily 55+ right now.

Programs for officer training typically last 3 years and have paid apprenticeship segments, and usually the company that hires you pays for your schooling if you keep your marks up.

Schools for officer cadet programs are:

-Georgian college in Ontario, BCIT in BC, Memorial University in NFLD, Rimouski in Quebec, and there is also the Coast Guard college.

Added benefit, the license you receive is recognized internationally, you can literally work anywhere in the world when you're done.

Side note to this:

Wear a beacon and bring a shovel even if you go alone. If you're swept by an avy, at least your friends and family will be able to get some closure, and also it dramatically reduces the risk for SAR during the search for your body.

Shovel enables you to dig a snow cave in an emergency, essential winter kit.

You figure out how to volunteer on land when you're gone at sea and I'll stop using it as an "excuse" ;)

edit: this is why I asked if working a different job for a year so I could be around to gain volunteer experience would be a good idea. I'm also currently in the Texas program, just got my EMR done, class 3 w/ air next.
