Other Eldar factions also exist within both the game narrative and, to some extent, its rule system, with Harlequins being reintroduced in 5th Edition with entries in both the Craftword and Dark Eldar codexes.

Forge World, a partner company to Games Workshop, has also produced material and games rules covering further concepts, such as the Eldar Corsairs and expanding on material for existing armies.

Further unofficial lists for groups such as the Harlequins, a faction of Eldar who used to have their own army list in earlier editions of the Warhammer 40K game, are also available online.

Such publications, along with Games Workshop's web site also contain many articles on how to assemble, convert and paint the standard range of Eldar models.

The various Eldar paths ( described below ) also have their own color schemes.

Eldar vehicles also follow the above policy of avoiding too many harsh edges and flat surfaces.

Most Eldar vehicles can also be equipped with weapons designed for various purposes.

While Dark Eldar do make use of psychic devices, they do not use psychic powers themselves: psykers could be tracked down by Slaanesh ( one of the Chaos gods ) and Commorragh destroyed.

Zoanthropes, creatures supposedly evolved by combining tyranid DNA with DNA from other psychically active races like the Eldar, are extremely powerful psykers to the point that, with the passing of the years, their bodies have devolved into little more than a overly bloated head attached to an atrophied, fetus-like body incapable of even moving on its own power, therefore requiring the creature to use its psychic abilities to levitate across the battlefield.

When the Dark Eldar use this weapon, the psykers tormented soul is released and its power has the potential to consume any psyker on the battlefield.

Based around the general roleplaying and fantasy-game concept of Elves as conceived in Lord of the Rings, the Eldar concept has been heavily adapted to create a futuristic space-faring race complete with their own unique history, mythology and culture.

Like their original inspiration, the Eldar are portrayed as a insular race who may even be on the brink of extinction.

The majority of the normal infantry and vehicles as described in the Games Workshop Codex books for the Craftworld and Dark Eldar are available as plastic or " fine cast " resin kits via either the companies many high street stores or by their mail order service.

The various Eldar Craftworlds ( similar to Space Marine Chapters ) each have their own color schemes.

For example, the Eldar Howling Banshees are melee specialists and, with their power weapons and other special rules, excel at killing heavily armored infantry units in melee combat, while using them for ranged attacks often leads to failure.

Eldar vehicles, unlike their infantry counter-parts, are very tough and hard to kill, pending lucky rolls.

The Eldar, like other races in Warhammer 40, 000, take their current state from various cultures.

After the Separation the Avari became divided even more than the Eldar, though little of their history became known to the Elves and Men of the West of Middle-earth.

" To the unfriendly who, not knowing them well, declared that Morgoth must have bred the Orcs from such a stock the Eldar answered: ' Doubtless Morgoth, since he can make no living thing, bred Orcs from various kinds of Men, but the Drúedain must have escaped his shadow ; for their laughter and the laughter of Orcs are as different as the light of Aman from the darkness of Angband.

In the back story released in the most recent Dark Eldar Codex, it is revealed that the Dark Eldar gradually lost their natural psychic ability during the millennia following the Fall of the Eldar race, and that they are sustained only through the absorption of the psychic power released by pain, torture and anguish of other sentient beings.

A complete overhaul of the Dark Eldar model range and rules was hinted at in a statement that Rick Priestley made in White Dwarf 343 ( US issue 342 ) saying, " I think it's time that the Dark Eldar, Space Wolves and a few others have their time in the spotlight again ..."

In the earliest versions of Tolkien's mythology ( see: The History of Middle-earth ), the First Kindred of the Eldar were called the Teleri, while the Third Kindred, the elves known as Teleri in the published version of The Silmarillion, were called Solosimpi (' shoreland pipers ').

Subsequently, new models for the Talos and Scourges were released, as well as a new skimmer called the Venom, which is a version of the Vyper used by the Craftworld Eldar, though used for transport instead of fire support.

Warhammer is also unique in the aspect that Warhammer 40, 000, the science fantasy version of the game, features space faring elves under the name of Eldar ( a term borrowed from Tolkien ) -- an ancient race that once served the Old Ones and in the aftermath of a great catastrophe have split into four distinct groups, the Craftworld Eldar, the rustic Eldar Exodites ( dinosaur riding eldar in self-imposed exile ) the mysterious and acrobatic Harlequins and the fallen kindred, the Dark Eldar.
