Hey, Colen.
I thought you were a serius Eldar player.
Remember, if you sell your minis, one day you'll have
to by the new boxes, and they charge an arm for them
you know. I have 25 of the old spruges, and I'm going to
need them all. OK, 50 Exarch is a bit overly, but I need the
Jetbikes, the Dark Reapers and Howling Banshees. I'ts realy
stupid that the D.R and H.B. only come one per spruge, when
you get two of both the S.S., the Wraithguard and the
Harlequins.

What about the Standart Bearers? You ladz use 'em? I'm
thinking of adding one to each af my H.Q. stands once I
get them painted and based (I'm re-doing my army now with the
new models and bases out - I'ts quite a job, but it looks
great. I'm also using the opotunity to change craftworlds).


By the way, Colen, you advice on S.H. Warlocks and F.D.
Exarchs works fine. I now have special characters for:
F.D., H.B., D.A., S.H. and D.R. All I need to figure out is how
to make some cool Exarchs for the S.S.

I also just finished painting my first new Falcon. They realy look
great, much better than the old "Spearheads". If any of you had
lived near here, I would have thrown them at you!

Questions: How do you ladz field your S.H.? Alone, using their
jump packs to assault the enemy, or with support in the form
of Wave Serpents ect.? Have anyone tried the rules saying that
S.H. can enter play like troops in Drop Dods, landing
anywhere on the table?

Have a nice day, you pirate scum. P-)
