It's missing one or two figures (finishing up touches on a final Dark Reaper and Maugan Ra didn't make the photo shoot). I did up an actual army list for 2nd edition Eldar this morning, and here is the result:
Army Size: 5436 Points
Composition: HQ (15%), Troops (52%), Support (27%), and Special Characters (6%).
This includes wargear for all the units. Not much in the way of wargear really, but it's all in there. Many more units/figures to come, so this army may actually hit somewhere north of 6500-7000 points when complete.
That points value dives a real sense of the model inflation/points shrink that has occurred over the years. Any idea what the points would be for this army in the current edition?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, but I'd guess around 1500 points! :D The game has definitely become nothing more than a way to sell a crap-load of plastic models. Way more models on the table, and waaay more ridiculous ways to kill them. I admit I don't play any kind of modern 40K but when I watch the occasional battle report I question the point of the game when everything is wiped off the table by 7-10" templates with no armour saves, or units in close combat rolling 20-30-40 attacks. The aim now seems to be a heck of a lot of models on the table...all wiped out within 60-90 minutes. I'll ask someone on a forum to do up the points value for 7th ed, just for curiosity's sake.
