My goal with this army was to have an Eldar force that looks like something you'd see on a Games Workshop store table circa 2002. I think I nailed it.

Craftworld Ulthwé - Battalion Detachment

HQ

Farseer - Doom, Executioner, Warlord, Ghosthelm of Alishazier

Farseer - Guide, Fortune

Warlock Conclave - 4 Warlocks with Witchblades, 2 with Singing Spears  Protect/Jinx, Empower/Enervate

Troops

10 Guardian Defenders - Weapons Platform: Aeldari Missile Launcher

20 Guardian Defenders

10 Storm Guardians - 2 Fusion Guns

Elites

5 Wraithguard - Wraithcannons

Fast Attack

10 Swooping Hawks - Exarch with Hawk's Talon and Power Sword

6 Jetbikes - 2 Shuriken Cannons
 

Heavy Support

Fire Prism - Crystal Targeting Matrix

3 War Walkers - 2 Scatter Lasers each

Wraithlord - Bright Lance, Flamer, Shuriken Catapult

Dedicated Transports

Wave Serpent - Twin Shuriken Cannon, Shuriken Cannon (transports the Storm Guardians or Wraithguard)

Total: 2,000 points

Battalion Detachment: Orikan & (Overlord or Lord?), 9 Immortals, 20 warriors, 20 warriors, 6 Destroyers

Outrider Detachment: Destroyer Lord, 6 Wraiths, 6 Wraiths, 5 Scarabs

That looks like exactly the kind of Necron army I want to see across the table from me at OFCC. Great list!

so old school is basically one book

1-2 hq

0-3 elites

2-6 troops

0-3 fast

0-3 heavy

no super heavies or gargantuan or buildings. nothing with greater than 20 wounds. 

Actually there is no "Force Organization Chart" style restriction. Just that your army comes from a single detachment (see other quote below). I think this is the best way to run it as many old school forces changed the Force Organization Chart - Saim-Hann Eldar, Steel Legion IG, etc.

Going Old School - Sources?!? You mean source! Your whole army fits within a single Detachment from one source with no flyers, super heavies, or gargantuan creatures

My 4th ed Ulthwe Seer Council requires 3 HQ slots (which Battalion Detachments have) so I'm happy 😀

I think we could do a singles 1k event with 75 minute rounds. 1k goes very quickly with two players total.

If we wanted two player teams and 75 minute rounds it would have to be closer to 500 points per player I think.

Or there could be some crazy sudden death objective that changes each round. Like the first team to get within 3" of an objective in the opponents deployment zone wins the game. Or the first team to kill a nominated character belonging to the opposing team. It would be terribly unbalanced but terribly fast 😉

A start time between noon and 3pm would be considered "mid day" to me.

I would prefer a midday start for sure!

Though midday is also prime beer time if you try hard enough 😉

We'll need all the points we can get 😂

PM'd you!

What condition are yours in? I can do $20 plus shipping.

I'd pay $20 for both if you cover shipping to Olympia, does that work?

I'm looking for old metal Raveners from 3rd edition. This is the first sculpt of this unit. Sorry for the poor quality pic but it's what I could find on short notice.

I would like 4 of them but will take what I can get! I don't care what the bottom arms are as long as the top Scything Talons are there.

I have money and can pay via PayPal as you'll probably need to ship them to me in Olympia.

I also have all sorts of stuff for trade - AM, Eldar, Chaos, modern Tyranids, and old Fantasy.

PM if you're holding!

The new Saim-Hann rules are very cool... And very good. I was hoping ScatBikes would not get any better :/

I'm not sure what I expected Ulthwé to get but that certainly wasn't it. I like the ability and think it's pretty good though.

I like the subfaction-specific stratagems. It's a great way to introduce more rules without cluttering up the codex.

I am very happy that my Valhallans get regiment rules again! That's not the regiment rule that I expected but it's pretty good. I like the return of "Send in the next wave", the new Valhallan order, and the updated rules for Baneblades removing the movement penalty. Lots of good stuff in this book so far.

Very excited to get my guard on the table with new rules!

We (Kill! Maim! Beer!) did pretty well for being down a player!

Thanks to Ordo for another great OFCC!

Is the wound limitation going to be changed? Scout Sentinels have 6 wounds and cannot be taken, which makes me sad. Even Company Commanders have 4 wounds in 8th!

I looked through the rulebook, but couldn't find a ruling about Missiles. My Lightning Fighter has six Skystrike missiles that don't have the one use only rule. Can I shoot six missiles a turn, every turn? Or is there a maximum number of weapons that can be fired?

I've been running a different Faction in each Game of 8th so far, but I have to say, I was very impressed by my Screamer-Killer's performance.

That's exciting, because I have 3 of the old metal ones!

Mortars always had a 48 range......but that price! Niceeee

They did?!? I always played them as 36" D:

My Baneblade, with two sets of sponsons. It's a TON of firepower on a resilient chassis for 635 points. I love it!

I also really like Heavy Weapon Teams with Mortars. They're a steal at 27 points per squad of 3, and they now have 48" range.

I do have a copy of Descent 2nd ed! It looks to be complete. A few models have been primed black but nothing has been painted.

I know I have a copy laying around. Let me look for it and get back to you!

What does "associate with existing purchase" do? Am I missing something obvious?

I like the shirt design, was just wondering. Thanks!

I'll let you know when we're ready to record. It's not going to be for a while anyway.

I'd be interested... if I had spare fantasy minis, lol.

Where is your studio located?
