I also like their ancient, archaic feel, that they are hiding in countless tombs waiting to be awakened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031902101832739781.post-35325946457509333452010-02-04T16:30:53.296-08:002010-02-04T16:30:53.296-08:00For me its the finesse play style, I enjoy the dif...For me its the finesse play style, I enjoy the different approaches to the same general mechanic.<br />All elf armies share many of the same themes (specialized elite, fragile force, fast and movement controlling) but each have their own approach.<br /><br />Eldar are my favorite of all the elf races for the style and flair. The only thing more deadly than a Fire Dragon squad laying into a Landraider is the team of Howling Banshees that will assault the Terminators that fall out of it.<br /><br />The sheer power and grace of a well balanced Eldar list working together is just something you will never see with the other armies.<br /><br />I play all 5 warhammer elf armies (High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Eldar, Dark Eldar), and enjoy the subtle differences between each force.dzer0https://www.blogger.com/profile/05801249469101932050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031902101832739781.post-62724488043877244622010-02-04T07:09:02.768-08:002010-02-04T07:09:02.768-08:00Thanks for the comments.

GW does a good job with the 40k universe and the backstories to keep people coming back, but everyone has their own preferences and history.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08415148261401958420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031902101832739781.post-32415145669943760942010-02-03T14:53:07.483-08:002010-02-03T14:53:07.483-08:00I play Eldar because of their egotistical and sava...I play Eldar because of their egotistical and savage (sometimes even barbaric) elegance and beauty. They are willing to sacrifice millions of lives from other races just so one of their number will survive.<br />It's an oxymoron really, the most advanced race reduced to a desperate and violent existence.<br /><br />I also play guard for the reasons Max gave and also because of the story oppoturnities each individual army offers. I am currently in the middle of creating an army based on the Australian SAS basing their terrain on the good old red desert and coming up with a rich history for this small army.<br /><br />I also enjoy playing Blood Angels and Khorne every so often as these armies apeal to my "Killie! Killie! Killie!" side. In these circumstances I screw the storyline, bare my teeth and CHARGE! grinning maniacally as heads fly and I wash myself in a shower of blood and bone fragment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001726189130195663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031902101832739781.post-48595993583066857812010-02-03T14:26:43.914-08:002010-02-03T14:26:43.914-08:00I play guard, mainly because I have an affinity wi...I play guard, mainly because I have an affinity with them.Col.

Necrons are even more indestructible and have ridiculous tech. Bugs are a millenia old devouring race, and orks are literally bred for warfare.<br /><br />They are pansies because a Guardsman can stand in front of all of these horrors with naught but a t-shirt and a flashlight and die standing. Plus, gotta Defend Humanity and all that...Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478821172146809894noreply@blogger.com
