I have about 10-15k of Biel Tan. I have two friends with Ulthwe (10-50K each). Another person who might be interested in getting some Sam Hainn.

I'm sort of stuck right now. I have so many aspect warrior models that it would be a shame to not play Biel-Tan(8 stands of each aspect). Though I also have 7 warhosts of guardians and more than enough jetbikes and wraithguard to field whatever list I want. I havn't been painting them yet because I havn't really decided. I'm playing Biel-Tan right now cause I just got my hands on the SwordWind book, though that list just seems almost too powerful for my girlfriend who plays the pathetic space marines.

Paint a bunch up in different Craftworld colours and fight Eldar vs Eldar against your girlfriend.

So of my favourite EPIC fights have been Biel-Tan vs Ulthw? or Alaitoc.  The different formations/organizations in the different Craftworld lists give very different play experiences.

I have only played Biel Tan, but looking at Altioc and Saim Han.

Also I have been on an insane quest to get a Harlequin Army together. :p

Next month I can hopefully get a bit back into Epic and then it's Iyanden time once more.

Ok, so I've been watching this thread to figure out what craftworlds are be played to try to focus developement on them next. Ulthw? is practiacally finished and it seems there are still enough players there to let me know it really is wrapping up (I was afraid those last changes were sitting in limbo).

So far (with an actual count) it seems the front runners are Saim Hann and Iyanden. Next we have generic craftworlds (surprisingly) and lastly Alaitoc (which is rather close to generic as well).

So despite GW trying to put the attention on the major 5 craftworlds, many still like playing their own. And having gone over the Saim Hann list, I see no way of representing their army(ies) without having two lists. So It seems I will add a Lesser Craftworlds to my to do list (whether or not it gets GW's official approval because it will help with what I'm doing). We can pretty much guess what it will look like from Alaitoc's lists (which will halp me with that list as well). The greatest problem I see with it will be the ability to have an extremely high number of activations. Those two lists just do not have important hosts to soak up points.

Would you be better off doing an Alatoic list rather than a generic craftworld list? eople can always use the Alatoic list with whatever colour scheme their homegrown craftworlds are painted in.

Cheers

If you use the Alatoic list but replace Ranger host with Ranger Troupes as well dropping Pathfinders, you will have the lesser craftworlds. This will be a force with even more possible activations because of smaller cheaper Rangers. This is a bigger problem with this lesser craftworlds than with Alatoic and I already have concerns with it. I think addressing the issue of excessive activation (army design issue) would be easier with a lesser craftworld list, and just be nice acknowledgement to those who do wnat to play a generic craftworld. I have seen a lot of questions about it and if people want to play it, then I feel I should make they can. And if people are going to play a generic list (with the rather obvious changes to Alaitoc's list) regardless of if it's official, I also feel an obligation to make sure it works.
