Come on Barbie lets go party (howling and killing)

Very much a wup but honestly quite pleased with how my Jain Zar is going after taking a long break last year from painting!

Drazhar vs Jain Zar

by Igor Sid

[farsight-the-char]

Initially a staunch ally to the Ynnari, the dread matriarch has since distanced herself from Yvraine and her followers, who demand the sacrifice of ever more Aeldari souls in the battle against Slaanesh.

Jain Zar distancing herself from the Ynnari 👀 Ynnari are increasingly active...

More fuel for my "Ynnari are going to take an active role in near-future campaign" theory.

And that’s Jain Zar done and ready to join her Howling Banshees! Probably one of the most delicate models I now own!

Sunset and teachings

I did these pieces for the the wh40k summer fest exchange 2024. I it's time to show it here.

Jain Zar and Asurmen laying on a park and a young Farsight being taught tactics by puretide

Here's another version of the sunset art without lighting

[corsair-princess-nenime]

> so yea Ynnari are officially shelfed lore-wise 🥶

Like Eldrad and Jain Zar think they’re losers now.

I’m serious. Every ynnari blurb box ends with “unable to get anything done, Yvraine has fallen back on trying to convince everyone to kill themselves NOW - such extremism has alienated her coolest allies…”

Gav, you know that… YOU wrote it that way, right? You could’ve UNWRITTEN it

Jain Zar

[fourgods-nobrakes]

I made a grave error this week. With the Sanguinala deadline looming and my attention span already terrible, I tried out one of the WH40k phone games. Did you know that when you take a terrible dopamine drip pastime and weld it to your existing hyperfixation, you can just lose days like it's your job? Yeah.

There's not a lot of story, mostly collecting gubbinz and sticking them on your characters to make them do more numbers, but I've still caught a couple of interesting moments. Like. Most factions have a couple of lore characters for the "legendary" and "epic" slots, and then some generic ones to round out the team. They're generally people one would expect (eg., Tigurius and Calgar for Ultramarines - plus Titus now as an event character - Maugen Ra and Jain Zar for eldar, Typhus and Nauseous Rotbone (afaict the only chaos healer) for Death Guard, etc) but in the Black Legion we get Abaddon, Haarken Worldclaimer... and Volk. The first Obliterator. Who I think we had only seen during the Heresy? A thousand years before the Black Legion formed? I would love this to be evidence that he lived, tbh.

Also one of the generic World Eater units is a Jakhal, and I got him early, so he's on my too-small Chaos team with terminators from the Black Legion and the Death Guard and you know what I will ship anything and possibly that's my superpower. I just picture him following these ancient, legendary tanks around the battlefield and really, really, really wanting to kill enough guys to get them to nod at him in approval.

ALSO the first faction you fight/second faction you start collecting is the Necrons, and I got as far as meeting "Imospekh" and was like, what the fuck kind of bootleg tomb world is this. Great designs, though. The hexmark destroyer and canoptek spyder are just fun to look at on the character screen.

Anyway I have made terrible choices and had better get back to the exchange fic mines.

Another one of the phoenix lords, Jain Zar

[historitor-bookshelf]

Okay, questions to the more well-versed peeps of the Tabletop:

First point refers to Drukhari models that can be used in a Ynnari army and that's their data sheet pages. All clear.

Third points means if you want an Army to count as Ynnari, you basically have to say that either Yvraine or the Yncarne have to be the armies leader. Interestingly not the Visarch for some reason? Anyway.

Second point I am not quite clear. Due to the repeated mentioms of Eldrad and Jain Zar distancing themselves with the Ynnari anymore, I am guessing that named minis can't be used with an Ynnari army anymore. So, say, no Lelith Hesperax or any of the Phoenix Lords anymore, but any Wyches or Aspect Warriors would be fine?

[whitefriartuck]

Restrained myself from preordering anything but the Aeldari codex until I get my shit together and paint the Jain Zar I've had assembled since whenever that new model came out.

I should probably try and do the Wraithknight too

[cursed-40k-thoughts]

I just wish Aspect Warriors were written with the same degree of wankery over how unstoppable and superhuman and fearless and untouchable in battle that Astartes were. I wish we got moments like a Nob squad just shouldering aside a whole Leman Russ tank as they charge or a millennia-old invincible Imperial bastion literally melting to slag after minutes of Tyranid bio-bombardment. I wish other factions got to have 'oh that's badass' moments, you know?

Maybe one day, huh? Aside from that one bit where the Harlequins got to murk golden boys. That was funny.

But yeah, no, I remember reading one of the “Path” Eldar books as a teenager. And in it the main guy becomes an exarch, and then is immediately killed by a dreadnought. But it ends with him getting up again cos Exarch, and it’s treated as this whoooa BADASS moment. I thought it was really weird and stupid, and I still think it’s weird and stupid. Hell, Jain fuckin’ Zar gets killed in the Night Lords omnibus.

That’s the biggest issue, I think, aside from the obvious Eldar jobbing. All of their higher tier characters can un-die themselves, so they get killed at convenience. Even in their own novels.

I would say that it will improve, but… GW really don’t seem to like the Eldar.

Or they could prove me utterly wrong and have a book that’s 400 pages of Maugan Ra murderising his way through a Black Templars battalion. I’d accept that.

[psi-scribe]

So I built Jain Zar after doing quite a bit of painting on Typhus (as one does) and bemoaned the fact that so much of her model is just hair. Then I remembered this also the case for Lelith and Yvaine, now I'm left wondering (jokingly) if its the case for all of the named eldari characters.

Sir, take off the helmet, do you also have long hair?

Smth smth "long flowing locks as he fired bullets in the meadow that's filled with enemies."

Warhammer 40,000 Aeldari Changes for June 20, 2024

The previous kings of 10th Edition aren't getting any more rules changes this time around. GW appears to be content with how the army plays, as is most of the competitive scene I think. Aeldari have fallen from their mighty perch to a 47% win rate, and are now slightly underrepresented on top tables. They've also seen a slight slip in their play rates. But like many of the middle of the pack armies, they can always benefit from having the top factions taken down a peg.

The Errata and FAQ just fix the lack of a close combat weapon on the Skyrunner and mostly answer the same questions as Miracle dice for Sisters. However Inevitable Death has been confirmed to follow the new rules for Repositioning Units. This means the Yncarne can be screened by units like Infiltrators.

For points GW has decided to take a stab at more internal balance. All the popular models have gone up in pts, with Yvraine and the Ynnari taking an additional 25 pts tax. They can't get their dedicated detachment soon enough. For under played units getting boosted, GW has targeted Asurman, Jain Zar, Karandras, and Maugan Ra. It would be nice to see Uncle K with Scorpions hit the table again. Here's hoping he has a character sculpt waiting for the Aeldari Codex drop. The Vyper and Wraithlord also got a bit of a buff, as did, to my surprise, the Voidweaver. Hopefully this will shake up the current tournament list a bit.

[sadgrrly02]

while harlequins need the attention first, it would be neat to get the other half of the aspect warriors in plastic and maybe (this part is slightly deluded of me) plastic phoenix lords? plastic phoenix lords (other than maugan ra and jain zar I mean)?
