I read this months white dwarf ( issue 296 ) i read the xenos entry on Dark eldar and realised it would be rather nice to see Dark eldar fighting eldar on their own terms.

anyway, Read it and tell me you think theyed not be worth making.

OF COURSE YOU SHOULD MAKE A DARK ELDAR MOD!!!
That is assuming that you have 3D modelling experience?
But, yeh definitely! I'd love to see an Archon and his Incubi slashing the *beeeeep* out of those silly little transvestite fairies (i.e. the Eldar)...
Also radiers and hellions would be ultra-kool, as would the Ravager and... Talos... *droooool*...
If i were you, I would include the following units:

Archon (Primary Leader Unit - like Chaos Lord - looks like Dark Eldar Lord in the TT - the one with the Claw)

Haemonculus (Secondary Leader Unit - could have special weapons as well as pain-related abilities)

Incubi (Like Nobz and Termies - Elite guys. They have Punishers and can shoot from their helmets like in TT as they charge)

Mandrakes (Stealth CC Units - can infiltrate)

Warriors (Like Eldar guardians, but better and more expensive, but still with crappy armour, also can get heavy weapons: Splinter Cannon - Dark Lance - Blaster - Shredder)

Scourges (the Dark Eldar Jumping Unit, but with heavy weapons - they start with splinter cannons and can upgrade to dark lances)

Hellions (another jumping unit - maximum of 5 guys, are awesome in CC, and can also shoot with their built-in splinter rifles)

Raider (Dark Eldar Jumping Transport - Crap Armour but has one gun and is FAST!)

Ravager (Dark Eldar Heavy Tank - like raider but has more armour and has 3 guns which can be upgraded from splinter cannons to dark lances)

Talos (Walker-type CC vehicle which hovers, but cannot jump. Does hepas of morale damage. Range = Talos Sting or whatever it is called)

Jetbike Unit <Maybe> (just 1 jetbike per squad - they are like eldar vypers - and can upgrade ranged weapons to shredders or blasters, like in TT)

Wyches (CC specialty unit - very fast - can have certain assault weapon upgrades, like shredders)

Just my bit of help - I'd really like to see Dark Eldar modded in, so... good luck if you do! :D btw I have no 3D modelling stuff skills or whatever, so I can't help when it comes to making the models.

The Eldar are not sissy. just cause they arent fat like marines and can run a lil faster then everyone doesnt mean there fairys.

Edit: Cool Idea i would love to tear up some Dark Eldar :fight:

Ok. well if you wanna see me put together a mod im gonna need people who know how to model , skin and code. I got Gmax experiance and i cant do curves (yet). other than that im pretty crap at modeling. anyone wanna jump on the band wagon email me at Fend_575@hotmail.com

Ps. If this dont go anywhere ive applied for a whole swav of other mods i dno if theyll take me onboard though. oh well. if i dont get in. this is going ahead i guess.

Fat? FAT! I would have you know that THAT is a lot of solid muscle!

Good idea though, it'll let me rip apart Eldar in a blood feud!
