3rd Edition Eldar 1998
In 1998, WH40k 3rd edition was released, marking a further advance away from the skirmish game of Rogue Trader, to a full-on pitched battle scenario. The biggest change for 3rd edition was the release of multi-component plastic kits for all basic troopers, making large armies viable to field. The Guardian set saw a radical redesign of the appearance of armour and helmets which reinforced the overall appearance of the Eldar as a race.
