Dire Avengers

I finished my squad of new dire avengers and then finished four old style to bulk my squad up to ten. The exarch has magnetized arms for weapon swapping. Its really tough to match a paint job that was completed over 17 years ago. You can tell which of the old dire avengers are the old, and which are the new. I has always really liked dire avengers and think they fit well with an Alaitoc army.

Eldar Dire Avengers

I am happy the Dire Avengers got rejuvenated in the latest codex. I love 10 man squads of these guys either foot slogging across the battlefield, or jumping out of a wave serpent to bladestorm the life out of an enemy squad. I almost always take the exarch with bladestorm and two shuriken catapults. If these guys are stuck in close combat, then I am doing something wrong. I would rather ensure they hit a squad hard, destroy it, and get back in the waveserpent to do it again.

This squad are some of the originals from 1990 or so. I added an old guardian/pirate leader from the original RT eldar. I love his helmet, and think he makes a great exarch.
