The Idea of my Eldar force...

In my first post I explained how I would like to see the army.
As a bundle of various, different Eldar forces gathering together to fight for survival of their race...

I have some Ideas how to improve that idea...

Todays subject:

I. Part One: Harlequin "division"
1. Harlequins - My natural choice are troupes with the standard options...
2. Dark Reapers Acting as Death Jesters :)
3. Wraithlord acting as Manekin / Marionette ... :) (That is not my idea, but making 3 different original wraithlords in one army seems cool to me Just think of the look of harlequin-wraithlord the laughing god mask from the vintage jetbike. You speak it.. it is beautiful.
4. Storm Guardians can be nice harlequin wannabies :) even a warlock could act as a Mystseer (the conceal power is a good lesser veil of tears and the enhance makes them better in HtH - Halucinogen Gas ;D) The warlock has an inv save... so it fits aswell... - but it is just a thought.
5. I thought also of having a solitaire autarch - but lets face it an autarch without the jetbike is simply not as good as he seems. He does not fit entirely into the role - He does not heave rending attacks, no furious charge, actually the autarch sucks when on foot. Easy to instant kill for a great overall skilled eldar commander he has a poor suvirvabilty.
Maybe as solitare on jetbike with the lance - this could be a nice idea... and again a cool mask on the jetbike... a bad looking one, a solitare plays slaneesh.
6. I could Include a falcon as Venom transport... for the troops but that is just an Idea. A Dark eldar vehicle would be better for this... But I am not into dark eldar. They are the weak ones.. falling for chaos...

So what do you think of such an army part?

The first post... what should I write.. ?

This blog will be mostly about my warhammer 40k eldar army.
I work slow, but got some nice ideas and plan to create an not so original army.
I am not going for ONE craftworld or one theme! I like a lot of ideas with the eldar fluff, so I thought of combining all what Eldar have to offer.
Initially it was ment to be an Ulthwe army, but it will be a mix of some eldar forces... that form an allied strike force led mainly by ELDRAD... a lot of my units are older models, repaired models or converted from various bits and greenstuff - I like to use old fluffy models that maybe fought thousands of battles :)
I am remaking some old designs to fit new models :D like the famous old mask from the jetbike (vintage) But I will show everything when the right time will come :)

So mainly I plan to make:

1. Ulthwe - section
2. Harlequin section
3. Exodite section
4. The Saim-Hann'like corsairs
5. Aspect Shrines - they simply must be in a eldar army
6. The power of Bonesingers (Wraith)

The colors that connect all the different parts of my army are black and blue...

I try to make my figs look a little bit dark and dirty for an eldar of course ...
Too shiny eldar are a little bit to soft for me after all they were close to vanishing.
Besides I prefer to start with chaos black and go from black to white.

So I hope you have a nice time here.
Lyashk the Bonesinger...
