The craftworlds of the Eldar are scattered across the stars, massive drifting starships that are home to the last survivors of a race that once ruled the universe. Now the Eldar battle against the other races of the galaxy, even resorting to piracy in their fight to avoid extinction.
"Trust not in their appearance, for the Eldar are as utterly alien to good, honest men as the vile Tyranids and savage Orks. They are capricious and fickle, attacking without cause or warning. There is no understanding them for there is nothing to understand - they are a random force in the universe."
- Imperial Commander, Abriel Hume |

Army Overview
The Eldar are an incredibly ancient race who once ruled a vast empire across the stars. Then came the hideous time of the Fall, when the Eldar were consumed by their own decadence to the brink of extinction. The few who survived were scattered across the stars. Though the Eldar are few in number, they continue to be one of the most technologically advanced races in the galaxy. This advantage is combined with the prescient abilities of their Farseers, who scry the future and guide their Eldar kin along the most favourable paths of fate. |
