Okay here goes my first theme army! I will be using this for my eldar army at a gamestore totally infested with 'nid players and marines.

Saim-hann
//////////////////////////////////23rdwarhost\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\
Prophets of Khaine
The warhost started as Saim-hann dispatched to the planet Croneris prime. The planet is a night world, so the warhost has adjusted their coloring to black, blue details, and covered in stars for camouflage. They have kept their traditional blazing red only on their weapons, as the proud Saim-hann could not completely give up their traditional heraldry. The host has seen better days and has been worn down to a small force of survivors. The warp gate placed on the planet before the fall has been destroyed and the warhost has no means to make a new one, so reinforcements have not been seen for some months. The warhost is effectively stranded and is believed to be dead by the craftworld.
Croneris Prime
Croneris prime was originally an imperial world but lately has been attacked by a small splinter fleet of hive fleet leviathan. there are so many genestealer cults it seems things look bleak for the imperials, yet somehow they hold off the waves of genestealers endlessly...
the eldar came to Croneris Prime because the saim-hann responded to a distress call from rangers whose warhost was destroyed. for this reason, the 23rd warhost has a small group of ranger kin who fight for them.
Warriors
The Farseer
the 23rd warhost's farseer is a wise psyker named Fal'chu. he is a very potent psyker and recieves great respect from his wild rider brothers. He volunteered to lead the rescue mission to the croneris system and his warriors are very loyal. Fal'chu is also a great warrior, and has a star on his witch blade, sanaril, for every genestealer he has killed. he has earned the name Khaine's prophet for his amazing skill in all arts of war and death.
"May your swords sing of Khaine's death and theirs soon following! Bloody your hands! The war god has spoken!"
Fal'chu


[color=blue]The Guardians/color]
There are two main guardian squads in the warhost, Khaine's fist and Khaine's fury. Both of the teams have lost their warlocks during the long conflict and so only answer to Fal'chu himself. The squads are ten strong each, and have blue helmets, with red weapons, black armor and before mentioned stars.


The jetbikes
The warhost's jetbikes are called Khaine's messengers. Unfortunately, the jetbikes have also lost many to the grueling guerilla warfare, and have a mere three left. The vyper, one of three still functional after the year long conflict is called Khaine's word, and accompanies the jetbikes to provide then with fire support.


The falcon
The falcon, called Khaine's truth, is also the last functional grav tank of the many originally sent by the craftworld and so is special to the warhost. It is protected with many holofields and spirit stones and is also the oldest of the vehicles in the warhost.


Well, there it is! I hope you enjoyed the fluff for my small army. If you see any discrepencies or anything feel free to tell me.

Interestiong fluff nice an orginal

[Kiirnodel]

I like having fluff that's original like that.

My farseer wears Ulthwe colors because he was taught by Eldrad himself! I like how you had the 'nightsky' theme.

^___^ Sounds cool.

[Big_Chief_Willy]

Very nice fluff origanil and good

[TwitchTwitch]

Thanks guys, i'll post an army list soon!

[Yriel of Iyanden]

Very fun, I see you're trying to make the most use of a Battleforce it would seem. I love the fluff too- I also play a Saim Hann Wildrider host. You can view my latest army list and tournament report here.

Saim Hann is one of the more tricky craftworlds to use (so long as you don't take all Vypers), so I hope you enjoy the challenge. I hope to hear more about your army!

[TwitchTwitch]

Yes, my army is based on the battleforce, which i'll be getting in a week or two. I'll Probably add three more jetbikes and another vyper to my army and make it 1000 on birthday money. I have a sweet deal at my gamestore which gives you 5$ credit for every 100$ that accumulates on your account,so it'll be cheaper. Any suggestions from a vet saim-hann player?

[Yriel of Iyanden]

Here's a few personal opinions. bottom line- do what works for you.

- Don't take upgrades on your Vypers (no spiritstones/holofields/ctm's) unless you have a GOOD reason to do so. Stick to 36"+ range weaponry (preferrably starcannons/scatter lasers), and don't be ashamed to keep these near the edge of your DZ, moving laterally.

- Be very discerning about when is the right time to bring your jetbikes within shuricat range. Protect this squad! Learn how to use it- you'll come to appreciate the value of jetbikes through practice and experimentation.

- If you master jetbike tactics, the rest of the army is fairly straightforward.

- Never forget your skillful riders rules!

And finally,

- Always move your skimmers. This goes for any type of skimmer.

Okay, one more question: Is there an actual farseer on jetbike model or do you have to convert him?

You have to convert him. It's not so tough- I took a hacksaw to a normal Farseer model- cut his pistol hand off and cut him off at the waist and glued it onto the bottom of a standard jetbike rider.

You can use green stuff to fill in the gaps and continue his cloak as well.
