Rogue Trader Craftworld Eldar 1991

In 1991, the Eldar became a unique race, steeped in back story, based in part around the designs of Jes Goodwin. The formal structure of a force led by Psykers and comprising of dedicated single-faceted troops supported by Guardian militia has remained unchanged. The figures themselves formalised a design ethic of organic ovoid shapes and elegant weaponry which implied speed, poise and balance.
