Can the Eldar use weapons that the other factions use?

    Dropping my usual RP for the moment.

    It's worth noting there are some hints that the Eldar were once much closer to regular Humans - and that we genetically modified ourselves to our current ideal of physical perfection long before The Fall. We're taller, faster, smarter, psychic, very long-lived, virtually immune to disease, more attractive, and stronger pound-for-pound than an unaltered human - but we're still fundamentally humanoid: except in all the ways that we today dream genetics may one day make us better.

    In this perspective, it makes sense to view the Eldar as 'super-humans' - and this is echoed in our unsubtle term for the galaxies humans (whether imperial, chaos, or otherwise) - "Mon'keigh" - a phonetic of Monkey: our own distant genetic ancestor. In that one term the Eldar are of course a) insulting the inferior humans, b) acknowledging that we may be related - though the Eldar disdain the thought as much as today's creationists abhor the idea of us being related to monkeys.

    Are we even going to be able to misplace our weapons in Eternal Crusade? o_O

    Eldar are trained in one thing for hundreds of years.

    Like cooking... you become a master of a frying pan.

    or some eldar trickery or stuff...

    thing is I don't think they can anything... else for what they do...

    Eldar are pretty useless for things they are not good at.

    Like no eldar can falls very well into a pit of lava... maybe except Fire dragons...

    they don't burn so voilent.
  4. If by misplaced you mean

    Chopped in half and have Orks loot your gear

    Then yeah, you'll be able to misplace your things

    The Path of Synchronized Lava Swimming is a time-honored art of my people, you simply don't know it because we rarely have use to deploy our team of Synchronized Lava Swimmers in combat environments.

    But rest assured.... one day one of your races will challenge us to a synchronized swim-off, and we'll ham it up and compete with the Imperium's finest synchronized swimmers, going back and forth, never quite stomping them, keeping it competitive - then when we tire of toying with you - we will flood the pool with lava and dance in fiery harmony while your team burns in the surprise inferno - such a climactic victory!

    I'm pretty sure if I get chopped in half I'll lack the capacity to care about my weapons.

    All I'll care about is when to open the ramp to let those infantry out of their death trap of an APC.
