What I want to know is do you become a champion who then turns into a skeleton, or do you turn into a skeleton who then becomes a champion?

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

So I played DE right back when they came out, and I am very curious if what I own constitutes a reasonable army now. I assume that since my only HQs were Baron Sathonyx and a Haemonculus that I'll need something new there, but otherwise I have the following:
4x Raiders
3x Ravagers
3x Venoms
20 kabalite warriors
10 kabalite trueborn
10 wyches
20 hellions
6 jetbikes
10 scourges
1 Razorwing

I'm gonna guess I have entirely too few troops but someone here can surely tell me.

It's the first one. The rules are that you're a Chaos dude the gods like so much, that when you die they bring you back to go again.

If anyone has a bunch of the old RT era books there's a picture I want to find. It's of some Ultramarines (or Ultra Marines as they were called) who I think may be piloting a Land Speeder or something. Anyways one of the marines has something along the lines of "That Was So... Ultra" written on his armor or on the speeder or something. It's goofy as hell and is therefore one of the best RT art pieces, up there with SLAM SECTOR and GIMME DANGER.

Your 8th edition forecast is meh with a lot of waiting between dice rolls for the next 6 months.

For the following 4 years the forecast is growing frustration as your codex is not released and each and every mans is crushed under a never ending wave of additional cool rules tacked on to every other army but yours.

I think I saw your minis a while back and I've always been a big fan. Even if you can't use them in 40k, there are other games in which you could use them. Not so much the vehicles, since the games tend to be skirmish. Which is a shame, since I love those centerpieces. They're the kind of things I'd probably paint on my Tau if I ever get around to painting the robots again.

No, because their Eldar style is defensibly distinct, so it's a lot harder to do legally than a superhuman in an exoskeleton with big shoulders. The Eldar HQ mini that Chapterhouse made was one of the few things they actually lost in court to GW.

It's near impossible to find alternative anything for Eldar, and it's either because of that, or there's not enough demand to take production time away from another kind of alternative Space Marines or Guardsmen that the market sorely needs.
