My last game fielding Eldar was October 21, 2004. Almost an entire year ago. And my previous game before that was February 2, 2004. Only two games in over a year and a half with my Eldar. Man, I can't wait for that new codex in 2006. *crosses fingers*
Edit: In that same period, I played 45 games with my chaos, 13 games with my BFG fleet, and 12 games of Epic. Yeah, I'd say my interest in Eldar was down :P

Is your interest in Eldar down... or are you just disinterested and dissatisfied in the codex?
ReplyDeleteMy interest in Eldar suffered for two reasons:
ReplyDelete1. I played over a hundred games with essentially the same codex from 1999-2004. I tried lots of variations that interested me but felt I had worn out the units.
2. My fluff for the Black Storm exploded with the Draconis War story I wrote and I became emotionally invested in them unlike I had ever been with Eldar. Each character, each ship I knew intimately and it enthralled me to guide them on the battlefield.
The end result is I have now played as many games with Chaos as I have had with Eldar since 1999. The upshot is that after the story arc for the Return to Harsaded ends, I believe Eldar will make a comeback in my repetoire boosted by the new fluff and some new painting.
