Hello, Me and my brother are gonna collect 40k together (but ill keep up building my skaven army) now he wants to collect Elder and I thought you could give me some info on elder that i could pass to him.

Also im still stuck on racees...

Tyranids,
Necros,
Tau.

Cant decide between those 3.

Tyranids melee
Necrons melee/range kinda
Tau range

I cant decide lol.

I like lots of range, but tyranids got cool models! but then again the whole undead theme is cool to.

I was one of the first! I ruled apon my clan! Than they turned on me like cowards! I walk the planet searching for awnswers to this curse! I will rule once again! Squeek-squeek! Death to all those who oppose me!

Tyranids! Go Tyranids!

Nothing is better than getting close and dirty with your broods. Plus they have some of the most strong and unique models there are, like Carnifex.

Unless you do it like that one guy in a WD who costomized ALL his Necron warriors with gems and colourful pretty things. it was super cool

the eldar are fast, but fragile. they have high tech weapons, better than mon-keigh and a bunch of exarch upgrades to make massive killing 'personalities'.
their psychers are the best in the game, most of them dont have to test. there's a god thats as good as a greater demon. their vehicles are all very fast or jetbikes.
the craftworlds specialize, one is heavy on aspect warriors, one uses wraithlords and wraithguard as troops, one is all vehicle, one is psycher heavy.
but they are fragile, and don't have large armies because of individual cost, so they need a fast hard strike early in the game- something they are good at, once you learn the army. they aren't as beginner friendly as other armies. i'd get on eldaronline and learn how best to start this army.

As distasteful as that would be, it would fit in the fluff. I get a feel of the Third Reich when ever I read Imperium Fluff. Witch Hunters/Inquisitors are kind of like SS, and the look and feel of the IG is very WWII.

If you choose to do this, check out the local gaming scene. Make sure that they know before you even start to do the converting that this is not your belief, it's just something that you thought would work in the fluff.

And, hey, someone has to be the bad guy. :D

I can see many more people upset with chaos - demon worshippers? OK, you're going to hell. :P
Go forth my brethren, that we shall nibble at the roots of the old world!

We are the rats in the shadows. We hold the blades of corruption, aimed at the very heart of the Old World. We are The Council of Thirteen.

Second place in the UnderEmpire painting competition!
