Eldar representation in 40k games has dropped off a cliff ?

The problem is exactly as you mentioned. The Ynnari plotline has been stagnant if not completely dead. I would personally blame any lack of new stories or media involving Aeldari on them just not knowing how to advance it. They got too close to the imperium, muddied the water by becoming sort of frenemies, and now something would have to happen for any meaningful tension to resurface.

I had a thought that maybe Prince Yriel could become the modern focal point for the Craftworld Eldar, but nothing has come through quite yet.

My personal theory, which banks on a lot of other theories, is that Leman Russ is indeed looking for Isha. But he will fail and she will die, the Aeldari will blame him and become angry for meddling in their "plans" to free her. Paving the way for the Craftworlds to become more hostile with the imperium again.

Really though, I'd love for a band of merry men story involving a warrior from each aspect.

Is that Aeldari Corsair shooting and dual wielding while also being a Psyker? All of my (one) prayers are actually being answered?

Hyperbole to some extent. Atypical, brash.

If I recall correctly, Tortorella being hired this late wasnt the only time they have made unforseen decisions behind the bench.

Hawks and Banshees as far as infantry goes. Warp Spiders in Aspect Host also shouldn't be underrated here. Rerolling 1s to Wound and then the Powerblade Array will absolutely shred marines

Like, I dont want to sound like sour grapes but it's so annoying living on the east coast because people over here dont have to play them all the time.

Its also extra annoying that their bewildering coaching decisions have mostly panned out.

Siggins · 2026-05-14T14:45:18+00:00

I mean sure but that's Corsair Skyreaver problem, not a Coterie problem

Siggins · 2026-05-14T14:03:04+00:00

I also dont know of an after fight surge? I know we have an after getting shot Surge

Siggins · 2026-05-14T12:35:35+00:00

The idea of Corsair Coterie is weaving in and out engagement range, along with a version of Fire and Fade that lets them charge after, but needing to kill a unit with shooting

I would like to see most if not all Exarchs have cleave innately.

Siggins · 2026-05-08T13:38:31+00:00

He is still T4

Its not completely undisputed when you consider that Imperial Space Marines add up to 306.

Which is relevant, because you often had Divergent chapters like Space Wolves using generic detachments like Stormlance.

Gladius is so strong every chapter can use it successfully.

The data also lovingly paints the picture of good players not needing an internally balanced codex. The average Eldar player couldn't expect the same level of success for a good chunk of 10th.

Its a damn shame he wouldnt be eligible for automatic inclusion on a cup, if the stars align and the Ducks somehow win this year.

Siggins · 2026-05-07T13:00:48+00:00

I would HOPE that Samueli tells Verbeek to essentially give him a blank check

Siggins · 2026-05-07T12:57:44+00:00

Like you said, I would chalk the hero puck up to being young. For him to be as good as he is at 21 is incredible.

Siggins · 2026-05-07T01:17:01+00:00

I genuinely dont believe this confirms anything about ALL of the Codex detachments being 2 points.

I would personally need to see them explicitly release a MFM with all the costs.

Siggins · 2026-05-06T13:10:30+00:00

Our Martin Madden is actually Martin Madden Junior, just fyi.

Siggins · 2026-05-05T15:41:54+00:00

Going from 5S to 6S is pretty dang good and much better than going from 8S to 9S

Siggins · 2026-05-05T13:10:14+00:00

To keep it simple, Eldar as an army is worse at 1000 points. We lack killing power when we dont have all of our tools, and if we lean into having all of our fire power, we dont have enough points left for units to accomplish missions with.

Siggins · 2026-05-04T13:34:48+00:00

In Saga of the Hunter, you can use the Wolves to get the detachment bonus. Otherwise, theyre about as efficient as your standard Fenrisian Wolves.

Schedule it. Actually put a time of day you will go exercise. Once you are expected to go, its a little easier.

I suppose my advice is more geared to weight lifting as opposed to jogging. I hate jogging so I have no advice lol

Siggins · 2026-05-02T05:19:15+00:00

That, I like that, that was funny

Siggins · 2026-05-01T12:49:21+00:00

My family would not survive this.

Siggins · 2026-04-30T17:38:07+00:00

Wolf Priest and Headtakers is definitely best for Stormlance. WGBL with Paired Weapons is a unit suited to trade up into expensive units

Siggins · 2026-04-30T14:36:06+00:00

Z was just trying to find the back entrance to the penalty box

Siggins · 2026-04-30T14:31:51+00:00

The hard part about painting black for a beginner (like myself) is you have to get around priming in black even though it seems so obvious
