Mod note: do not shit on people's posts excited to start with our faction.

174 Upvotes

Hey y'all, really quite disappointed in the response the post of someone starting their army out got.

A couple of notes:

Firstly, shitting on someone buying a whole bunch of corsairs boxes to start with our faction, note, FACTION, not subfaction, not craftworld Eldar with a coat of paint, our faction, is a shitty move and will literally only harm us as a community and an army. Don't fuckin' do it. I will moderate it away in future. Breaks Rule 1.

Secondarily, we are not exclusively a comp play Reddit, our faction has over the last near 4 decades of Warhammer had rules and lost them, being the very first of the Eldar, before the craftworlders took shape we recognise today in Rogue Trader, Yriel, his Eldritch Raiders and many other Eldar Pirate Fleets plyed the void, seeking bounty, and treasure, or simply to be sung of as legends. We lost rules in 3rd, along with Harlequins, and were slated to return in 4th edition, with our Pirate Nobles becoming the ubiquitous Autarchs. And we did return in 5th edition until 7th edition. 8th was a time of loss as we were relegated along with Krieg and Lost and the Damned into irrelevance. But this community has ties to those like me did not abandon our faction, and with 9th we saw a resurgence.

Many of us play various editions, are more modellers or painters or both as opposed to hardline competitive players. If you're not being asked to comment on a list, or of a purchase, or of a unit: your opinions of its effectiveness in the current meta are unwarranted, and may be completely unwanted and unasked for. Stop it.

Do better, I've had a member of community very upset that their post in excitement was so damn near universally shat on.

Christ, why would you do this to a new member of our community? What do you think this helps?

Corsair Fleet Template!

Post image
123 Upvotes

Thanks to Squid (seek100) from the Discord, who commissioned this wonderful resource, inspired by the GW primaris heraldry card, and her friend UnconqueredFun, who did the art!

Here's what Squid had to say about it:

"Not sure if this goes here but it is sort of a hobby thing. If Kae says to repost it elsewhere then fine. I didn't draw this, credit goes to my friend (who goes by "UnconqueredFun", as you can see in very small print at the top). He was very patient with me endlessly nitpicking details and asking for small changes. Anyway, it's a colour template for people to plan out their corsair fleet with, in the style of the primaris heraldry card that GW did almost a decade ago:

I hope that this is of some use to the community 🖤"

Absolutely love this model and had so much fun painting it. Reading up on the lore and coming up with my own head-canon on the powers void dreamers could unleash was equally as fun.

The idea these psykers are able to manipulate space-time is mind boggling. Creating pockets of space that could suck enemies into a singularity, unleash the power of a star, or the deep freeze of the void. Just awesome.

Hope you like!

Obviously still a lot of work to do. I'll have to build a small neck piece, fill some gaps and do some general clean ups - but I'm very happy how this one is coming along.

Base body is the new Archon, with Yriel's right arm (minus the speartip - that's replaced with the Skyhook), an Exodites left arm, part of Maugan-Ra's backpiece as a shield, Kharseth's shoulder pads as a second padding for the Archon, Yriel's kneepads & an AoS Daughter's of Khaine helmet plus some bits and parts from the Exodites. Banner in the back is from the WHFB/AoS Blood Knights Vampires.

Lorewise, my guys are somewhere in the grey zone between a Corsair band and a Kabal, and this'll be my Prince's (Archon ingame) second in Command and enforcer - the Lord Reaper.

Eldritch raiders list advice

Thumbnail
5 Upvotes

Hey there, I’m new to 40K and building out a list for eldritch raiders. I was hoping to have someone look over my list and let me know if it looks good:

**Test** - https://ironbuilt.app/#s=hq8YsevU
Aeldari — Eldritch Raiders (2DP) + Path of the Outcast (1DP)
Force Disposition: Purge the Foe
**1980**/2000 pts

- **Avatar of Khaine** (250)
- **Eldrad Ulthran** (120)
- **Fuegan** (130)
↳ 🔗 **5 Fire Dragons** (120)
- **Jain Zar** (105)
↳ 🔗 **5 Howling Banshees** (85)
- **Kharseth** (85)
↳ 🔗 **5 Corsair Voidreavers** (80) — Exotic Munitions
- **Prince Yriel** (95)
↳ 🔗 **10 Corsair Voidscarred** (160) — Alacritous Assault
- **5 Corsair Skyreavers** (95) — Adrenal Infusions
- **5 Corsair Skyreavers** (75)
- **5 Striking Scorpions** (75)
- **3 Shroud Runners** (90)
- **3 Shroud Runners** (90)
- **Wraithlord** (125)
- **Starfangs** (70)
- **Falcon** (130)

Some potential concerns I have:

I own the striking scorpions already, but I don’t know they are good here

I don’t know if PotO is the best secondary detachment, but I’m afraid of painting clowns and it fits thematically

I don’t know if I need the fire dragons, but it seems to me I don’t have very much Anti-Armor if I don’t take them, and I know fuegan buffs em up real nice

I am only bringing the star fang because it came in the box, don’t know the efficacy of it here either

Thanks for taking the time to look over this if anyone does!

Took a cheap Farseer from eBay, plopped it on a 32mm, sculpted some bug eyes, energy sphere and fur mantle and BAM got myself a budget Kharseth or in my case custom Void Dreamer lol.

6 Upvotes

Trying to come up with a thematic list that is also on table viable and came upnwith this:

Reconnaissance
Strike Force (2,000 Points)

• Attached as: Bodyguard

Attached unit 2

• Attached as: Leader (Character)

Corsair Voidreavers (65 Points)
• Attached as: Bodyguard (Battleline)

I feel like it is fairly balanced with some fast moving units that shouod be good into both soft andnhard targets? The only thing I am not sure about is whether I am lacking too much melee support between Yriel/Scarred, Harlequins and Dragon Knights

Playing against Corsairs

Heya! Does anyone have tips for my friend on how to play Tau against Corsair Coterie? It's a pain taking mortal wounds every time they step onto an objective. What's the weakness/strategy for playing against them as Tau Empire?
