Alaitoc Eldar Post!
This was a fun army to put together, and a real kick in the groin to play against.
This was my first army after deciding to get back into the game about a year ago. I found a good deal on a large quantity of really old elder plastics. While the designs were outdated, I decided to do my best to own it and make it work.
A few Shapeways purchases, Ebay purchases, and a few conversions later, I had 5000 points.
Alaitoc specialize in rangers, so I needed a good amount. I found that Exodus Wars had a proxy that fit the bill perfectly. Settled on a unit of 8 for garrisons, and a unit of 4 in falcons to be a mobile pain.
I wanted a big tooled up infantry squad to march out of the webway whenever an appropriate target got too close.
Picked up a few aspect warriors to house my Autarch. I filed off the main weapon on a few falcons and called them wave serpents.
My first Sword of Vaul unit. Four falcons with two firestorms. Firestorms are pretty non-existent, but critical for the army. I shamelessly stole this conversion of tacking a pair of 28mm guardian catapults to the sides, but I'm afraid I don't remember the source. Visually they work great and now I can throw in as many in my list as I want!
Don't leave home without a phantom titan! a 3+ holofield save is just bonkers. Of course a slight shift of luck will leave him a smoking wreck, but I've done stupid good things with this model on the field.
I needed a second Sword of Vaul and decided that I needed fire prisms. Again using the old falcons as a base, I replaced the main weapon with a bit from a 28mm dark elder kit. Now Leman Russ squadrons are a little less scary.
Rounding out the force is a few Vampires to fly in reinforcements if my opponent forgets to put interceptors on CAP. I cheated and painted a different generation of guardian models orange and called them fire dragons
and counter artillery!
