Yea that's true, I mean obviously some will survive and stuff, but there's still a lot of Eldar going down right? I mean, an eldar without an arm can't fight, so he might as well be dead. I had a REALLY funny vision of a farseer getting kicked into an air vent though, and then squatting there for a good while.
Hahaha, that would be funny.

Greyhunter,
There are a lot of us dying, however some goals are worth it. Fluff accounts have made reference to Eldar standing to fight in near suicidal situations if the reason was good enough. You are also right in saying that it is up to us as Eldar players to focus our narratives to portray that.
As an additional note -- the piece of fluff that sticks with me is one from the epic rulebook where an Eldar trooper asks a farseer why they are fighting to defend a human city against a tyranid force they cannot hope to defeat. The farseer's answer is that they will die, but their sacrifice will be remembered by the humans of that world and they would come to the aid of the craftworld someday when the need is dire.

Hello folks. I'm Lord Magellan on the Warseer boards, and I played Inquisitor Kurlin/Adepta Sororitas in the Medusa V campaign. I'm rolling in with some Dark Angels now. Nice to meet the lot of you. Welcome to the party. You're now designated as a Marine and have access to the Imperial area. I seem to recall joining discussion on how to model the newest version of Kurlin... an eldar without an arm can't fight, so he might as well be dead. I What makes you think Eldar can't rebuild a lost limb? Even the pitiful mon-keigh and Orks can do bionic replacements for missing limbs, and the Eldar are the most technologically advanced race in the galaxy (though the pesky Tau are trying their darnedest to steal that title). At the least, I'd expect the possibility of a bionic arm made from the same psycho-reactive materials as Eldar ships. At best, they can grow another for you in a vat - the joys of understanding genetics and cloning.

The model's been done since about halfway through Medusa V. I'm just trying to get a hold of a digital camera. My pictures of the original Kurlin are still around but a bit blurry. ;(

Hey Incubi, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock the Eldar out of the campaign here or nothing. I realize all that, but I mean jeez, fact of the matter is that Iyanden, a craftworld already almost extinct, sends in a strike force that gets wiped to a man. All that survived was a warlock essentially... and for fluff-reasons we let his Farseer escape instead of getting cut down. So... if I were them I'd seriously think twice about doing anything else, especially because in his report his Eldar basically packed their bags and ran when they got overwhelmed. It will be hard for an armless Eldar to build himself a new arm when he's covered by a sheet of ripper swarms ya know?
As to Kyrolon, that's what's got me excited. Obviously it's going to be fluffy for the Eldar to stay (or else we'd have one heck of a smaller campaign) which is why I'm saying that whatever's here is going to be BIG.

This sort of thing happens all the time. To Iyanden, at least. The Eldar are referred to as the Dying, but they do still have children. They can afford some casualties, and I'm just pointing out that losing their one strike force doesn't really drop a small Eldar fleet out of action. Those are rippers, you can kill them with a glass of water and a scratch-and-sniff sticker. Nah, I know what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that it's usually not as bad as this one report seems. Actually, one of the Eldar players already latched onto one of the reasons we developed for them to be here. The weekly report should be interesting...

Hello Inquisitors.. Welcome to the Campaign, and please PM Scorpio or Incubilord to get access to the Imperial forums.
It is good to have so many Inquisitors to crunch under our bootheels. Ohh and Kurlin, there is no alliances with the Tau, yet.

I am getting jealous... I think I'm going to give my Tyrant a cool name.
My Hive Tyrant is now... "Big Black Beauty". No, no, not hardcore enough.
I don't know... this sucks... I don't have any cool heroes. WAIT! MY BROODLORD! I forgot about him, HE can have a name right?
OH jeez, the excitement ramps...

How about we call him <arnold voice on> the Masticator </arnold voice off>
Or we could name him "Fluffy" ;D

I've always thought the perfect name for a pure killing machine would be "Cuddles."

Hey! Stop poking fun or he'll rip you apart with 2 of his 4 arms! I love the Masticator, what a freaking amazing name! But since he doesn't really bite... maybe the Rendinator? Cuddlez, The Rendinator! A hero is born
