For the Eldar, maybe a darker, more brutal version of the Striking Scorpions under the Dark Phoenix Arhas.
For the Dark Eldar, no Incubi, because Arhas hasn't swapped sides yet.

As much as I can see the 'simple' argument for the core mechanics behind WH and WH40k, there's a couple of issues that GW refuses to deal with that ends up making both systems complicated:
The...
Sounds about right. The measurements I was referring to were sans armour.
From memory it was the Catachan 'we're all RAMBO!!!' Jungle Fighters that caused the issue. The Cadians are about right from what I recall.
Also, the only time I've seen anything vaguely official...
You do raise some very relevant points here, and I do admit that the younger companies do have the benefit of learning from GW's mistakes.
Having said that, it would be nice if GW would also...
As for combining flavour and balance, all I'll say is thus:
If a company with less then half the experience (Eg. Hawk Games Studio, Spartan games, Corvus Belli, Wyrd miniatures etc) can manage to...
Hah.
I always thought Imperial Regulars/Trenchers were the best Imperial Guard minis ever made :P

The new Prodos ones are pretty nice. I just wish I could have had...
THis is Euro-1 applied to a C130:

I'm guessing that's what they based the scheme off.

I've heard the camo scheme sometimes referred to as 'lizard' camo, but I...
Gutenburg Press has an E-copy of H.G. Wells' codified Little Wars rules, arguably the first miniature games rules-set for civilian use.

IN NOMINE CARDINALIS!!!
My two factions of choice were Brotherhood and Imperial.
Indeed. Back when 40K was cool, and Warzone was the up-and-coming young punk with something to prove...
It is true:

'tis true sadly. You've found me out.
I'm James Hetfield.
Sorry to ruin the suspense, but he shared it from my facebook page :P
First of all, York, great write-up on the fluff logic of Chaos and chaotic 'evil' armies as a trope in fantasy.
Given that the discussion has gone over to more game related stuff, I'll weigh in my...
I also think that awards for best painted shouldn't be a part of the gaming award per-se, not because I think painters don't deserve credit, but as pointed out above, it encourages cheating. Have...
Personally, I can't paint for crap, so I get my models commissioned. I also make sure that the event organisers are well aware of this so I don't get best painted etc.
Personally, it boils down to the answer to the following question:
'Can it be clearly identified as what it't representing?'
If the answer is yes, then I have no issue. If the answer is no,...
Striking Scorpion Exarch with Chainsabres and twin shuriken pistols.
I think it must be some sort of janky beginner's luck thing... My first game one of my models (Nisse w/ HMG) effectively put the enemy into retreat before my first turn. Every time someone shot at...
Ouch...
Well played sir, well played. *golfer's clap*
I've noted that there is a fair amount of (justifiable) rage from chaos players about their codex, and I agree, the last two Chaos codex have been... Bland... at best. Which is interesting, as when...
I'd hoped for a hexa with a combi-rifle that could sub as a hacker, or a Swiss Guard with a multi rifle...
Oh well. Still, I'm probably going to get this starter in short order, the only model in...
The point was not so much equivalency (as you're right, 40k vanilla is company based, Infinity is squad based) but the raw start-up cost. A game that you can get into for $50.00 (which as you can...
I went for 30%, and to be honest, I think that's being generous.
I can buy an Infinity character of very close (if not equal) to GW quality sculpting for AU$12.50, where to get the analogue for...
