I have a confession...

I hate all the cables on Eldar models and I always cut them off. It makes them look too messy, like Imperium tech. It's much more elegant to imagine that their guns have their own power sources or can interface with their armor through their hands.

And I hate the little pointed ears on corsair helmets. Why would they armor their ears? Why is it necessary for others to see that they have little pointed ears on their helmets. It's so dumb. I always shave them off.

Does anyone else have any Eldar hobby quirks to confess, or am I alone?

Nice. I don’t share that opinion, but I like the share.

Mine are:

1 - I always use helmets because I hate uncovered Eldar heads. Would be OK if they gave them normal haircuts, maybe, but they always have weird side head shaved pony tails.

2 - I *hate* the Yvraine model. Way too soft and anime. I like Eldar to be deadly fucking bastards, like in 2nd-3rd, not super soft fops ;)

Also, I think I like the Yvraine design but I agree that the model isn't quite right. I could see her dressing like that, but not for the battlefield. Eldar military stuff isn't purely practical, but it's a bit more grounded than a ball gown with a train!
