Viola: insta Saim-Hann Falcon or Wave Serpent.
FARSIGHT ENCLAVE COLOR SCHEME WINDOWS
paint dark blue where (ultra marine blue)the windows are and then high light with light blue (enchanted blue)after that. All of the canopy's that you spray painted black. Getting really creative now hold on: Take four pieces of masking tape and make two "V" shaped patterns on the hull of the Falcon or Wave Serpent. Sometimes use X-acto knife to take off molding lines. Take falcon, and wave serpent out of box. Finally the models were so easy to paint so it was stupid simple. Force fields were also a staple of Eldar technology.
The Craftworld Eldar also had something that the Space Marines didn't have: Initiative and a very high one at that. In Second Ed the Eldar could bring some enormous firepower to the table, and they could quite literally: Reach out and touch you.
The loss of heavier armor to slightly less armor was a bit of a hindrance, but the pay off in firepower and agility was worth it. From big, bulky, angular vehicles to sleek, slick, sophisticated vehicles that raced across the battlefield. Saim-Hann was for me the complete polar opposite of the Dark Angels. For those of us who made the worst mistake ever in second edition: to put your troops in transports, especially rhinos, that also lead to units shooting at juicy targets with big uberguns. Land speeders just didn't have it, and died way to easily. I soon came to the realization that Space Marines lacked many things in second edition, one of them being mobility. Losing an entire army on the first turn: thank you void grenade, haywire missiles, shokk attack guns, and other stuff.
They had a cool looking symbol, so in the name of the Emperor. They were the first of the first Space Marine chapters and I figured why not. My first Space Marine Army were the Dark Angels. As with the Tau always advancing in new directions, I got some of the new Dark Eldar models and "experimented" with some new ideas.Īt the end of second edition I had started with Space Marines and then Craftworld Eldar. With the re-release of the Dark Eldar I wanted a chance to do something else and not get burnt out.
