Next up, we have our Space Elves!
1. Guardian
These older RT models look better than 2nd edition in my opinion. I should also note that Guardians WERE in the Eldar Attack expansion, but first, people want unreasonable money for this expansion (I personally only own Mission Dreadnaught which I purchased for only £80 complete recently) and secondly, I wanted the Guardians to have their own weapon style (Mission 8's specialists already have Shurikens guns).
2. Guardian Squad Leader
Another fetching model.
3. Eldar Warrior
These models didn't really carry through to second edition and really, there aren't such a thing as "warriors", but maybe there once were... I mean, it seems as if they were planned to use standard human like weaponry, too! However, I will attempt to mod the gun a bit and make it fit in with the Eldar aesthetics better.
4. Eldar Warriors Squad Leader
I'm not really keen on helmetless Eldar, as I feel it ruins their mystique a little (It certainly did when I first realised they were just Space Elves...), so I will probably change his head and maybe cut away/putty over his helmet. I will also give him a sword like the Guardian SL.
5. Mission 2 Eldar Specialist Unit (Striking Scorpion)
The Striking Scorpions make a nice introduction to Eldar special squads, I think! I'll probably change up the chainsword for a normal one, so it's like this unit is basically as good as a Guardian SL alone.
6. Mission 2 Eldar Commander (Striking Scorpion Leader)
I will leave this one with a chainsword, but on top of that, I'll probably give him a bigger gun than his unit ilk.
7. Mission 5 Eldar Specialist Unit (Fire Dragon)
An excellent model to this day.
8. Mission 5 Eldar Commander (Fire Dragon Leader)
The gun is a little long to use in close range, so I may add some sort of sword instead (to match Khaine a little).
9. Mission 8 Eldar Specialist Unit (Dire Avenger)
The well disciplined Dire Avengers make a fitting end for the Eldar missions, don't you think? Technically, these models weren't called the Dire Avengers in RT, but I think they look so much nicer than the 2nd edition offerings, especially the next model...
10. Mission 8 Eldar Commander (Dire Avenger Leader)
Check out the silly ninja headband! I love it and the pose is fantastic. I'll make this commander nice and beefy, with great attack and defense. You're in for a fight!
Well, that's all for the Eldar. I will return with the Chaos faction tomorrow!
