How different, if at all, are the old Eldar from the new ones? If
noticeably different, I might jump in. Things are heating up in Brian-land:
I'm in the middle of 'negotiations' with Games Masters over 100+$ worth of
MAATACs (56 minis in all, if you're counting at home). Now, all I need are
Su-27/35 minis (thanks to A. Brain for the leads), and some infantry, which
is why I am interested in the old Eldar. (Apparently the lowest the sale
gets in the US is 35% according to Tim Huckleberry).
For some reason I can't get through to the GW website. Stinkin' AOL. Or
maybe it's not IE4 compatible. Oh well.

Project 'Narf' (my pet title for the MAATAC crossover race I'm working on)
should be completed in 3 weeks or so. I'll post preliminary point values
sometime in the next week. (minis should arrive in 2 weeks, as they have to
do a rush order).

Oh yeah, all you military types (and related, Sauron), if you're ever in
Newport Rhode Island (home of the Naval War College), bring your minis with
you. We can play a few.
