  1. Sorry but I need to ask. Just how does it allow one to counter the opponent's moves anyway? Anything that's standing on par with a Wych in the first place is either too disciplined to fall for that or they have the power to cut the Wych in half without any resistance from the armoured side at all.

    Might just be another way for Dark Eldar to get their sick kicks out of combat, a trait that more often than not is the reason they die in the first place.

    Nothing is on par with a Wych in their view, we are talking about Dark Eldar, some of the most arrogant beings in the world!

    And what I mean is it allows moves to counter because as said: The enemy WANTS to strike there. Even with all discipline in the world, eventually you are going to strike there. And also in combat you may assume they going to lure you to strike there by moving in such way it looks easy to strike there. Read about fighting or even do fighting yourself, especially those that aim on luring the enemy in certain movements.

    Like the chinese spears with the red stuff attached on the tip. They swing that around to capture the attention of the enemy and if they focus just one moment on the red-stuff, then boom they stab you.
  3. Oh no, I perfectly understand the intention, what I'm not entirely sure of is the point in making your opponent attack one side rather than the other. Unless the Wych fighting style is about using one specific side far differently from the other, it wouldn't make much difference having armour on only one side. It would be much more efficient if the fleshy bits were far smaller and less common, because then you can lure your opponent into doing something very specific.

    Not to mention the fact that, if they're in combat with someone disciplined enough not to fall for it straight away, they damn well better finish the opponent off fast rather than taunt, otherwise chances are they're getting shot down hard.

    I am more concerned of what happens if they fight in extreme temperature areas such as volcanoes and tundras :p

    But most likely their combat style is fit to it, do not forget that Eldar also move much faster than humans. You are still looking at it from Human PoV instead of Eldar ^^

    Nice! Did you make it?
    There are about 4 pictures I haven't seen and don't have in my collection. If it was you, who made a video, would you mind to post those here? Or anyone, who has them.
    These are:

    I'm glad they changed Lelith's look. She just looks so weird and spiky here. It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.
  9. Yes, I did this tribute. I'm glad you liked it. Here are the pictures you requested.
