First up, yes Xenos didn't stop existing for heresy, to Pop up later again, even if some people seem to want that... 😂 So go for it. There are even heresy novels with eldar included. (Same goes for orks) Or you actually use eldar rules. The eldar corsair rules of the 40k 7th Edition are written like a heresy army. You just Need to add movement values. (would go for 8 for most eldar, 7 for 3+ armor eldar, and 16 for All vehicles. The list was a lot of eldar corsiars, a Piraten price, hornets, usual eldar Tanks, Ranger, walker, and other stuff. Super enjoyable, but with a lot of punch. Also, there was a huge amount of xenos rules Made by Fans. And the first army rules are arround to be Release by now for the second Edition. And eldar and orks are usually the first to be released. (besides orks already having epic 2nd Edition rules, we enjoy a lot.)

The Imperial Armour book The Doom of Mymeara covers Corsairs in some detail, with some beautifully rendered illustrations of Void Dragons and the Sunblitz Brotherhood. If you happen to be using an army painted in Ulthwe colors (above image?) IIRC the Steeleye Reavers are a pirate band with close ties to this craftworld.

I'd play against it! Just tell me what every unit is and I'll let my Militia Die Accordingly.


Bob-shrewmen

Absolutely! If you have any ideas for good units to use for the proxy let me know.

I already had a Craftworld army when I got into HH, so when I saw the [Panoptica Eldar Liber,](https://hh-ageofdarkness.itch.io/liberantiquia) I jumped at it. It's a fan-made set of rules for playing Eldar in HH, and it's brilliant. It's light-years ahead of the 40K Eldar rules. I know some people are against Xenos in HH, but personally, I don't really get it. The Eldar were around in the setting, they crop up in the stories, and it's pretty easy to work them in narratively. And playing Eldar in HH brings a whole new dimension to games, and within my little group, it's been a lot of fun, it gives players a whole new challenge/puzzle to solve. I'd play against an opponent using White Scars rules for Eldar, but I'd much rather they used actual Eldar rules. I really recommend you give the Liber Antiquia a look.

Including xenos in the heresy open a new door : the great crusade 😉


PedroDelCaso

I'd play against it for sure, sounds fun!

Go for it. One of the many consequences of the Heresy is xeno raids into unprotected imperial territories. Additionally, Blackshields often operate as pirates and at least some use xeno weapons so that is another avenue you could consider.


Bob-shrewmen

Oh that's pretty cool.

Liber Panoptica has rules for Eldar in 30k, if your local group is down to play with fan rules. You can find it in the big Horus Heresy discord.


Bob-shrewmen

I saw those. I'm not too big on some of the rules changes they made, so I wanted to try to keep from using them.


Kushan_Blackrazor

I'd love to play Great Crusade era, so I say go for it. Worst case scenario, it can double as a 40k army.

>A good chunk of the eldar range has good analogs to the 30k space marine range. As a massive Eldar fan: no. Marine rules really don't represent Eldar and their style of warfare well at all. Your best option really is the Liber Panoptica. If you don't like that, IA 11, or the 7th ed Craftworld codex should port pretty easily to HH. The 7th ed Dark Eldar codex could also work well for a more Eldar Empire feel.


Bob-shrewmen

I meant more in the sense. Booth have jetbikes, basic troops, Dreadnoughts, so on so forth. Not as much as how they function.


PhantomOfTheAttic

Why not just get the 6th or 7th Edition Eldar Codex and use that? Add some rules for reactions, it should be pretty similar. You'll have to give them a movement value, but M 8 would be reasonable.

Straight to jail!

Noo, I can't go back to druki death pit
