Yriel-Dyann Eldar

The Eldar is one of my oldest armies, and it shows, both in the models, and the paint jobs. It all started back around 1990 when I bought the "Aspect Warrior Deal" through GW mail order, which consisted of 5 Dire Avengers, 5 Howling Banshees, 5 Striking Scorpions, 5 Swooping Hawks, and 5 Fire Dragons, all for...$20. Those were the days... The army grew through the years as I added a model here, a model there, without any real guiding force as to what kind of army it was supposed to be. It just got bigger and bigger with time, and eventually I had amassed a rather eclectic force. Despite the random nature of army construction, it has done pretty well on the battlefield.

Your army looks as old as mine. Although I don't remember the storm guardians. I ended up with two sets of the guardians boxes, all I remember was the arms fell off whenever I transported them, I went through a lot of super glue.

Check it out my Alaitoc Army at:- http://pathfinder-devilin.blogspot.com/search/label/Army%20lists

And where have the reports gone. There's some fine tactics and a good read. It's been missed.

That's quite an army you have there--I recognize some of the ancient metal guardians, etc.

I do have two battle reports in the works--look for one next week, and hopefully another one following that soon.
