Millennia ago, the Eldar empire stretched from one edge of the galaxy to the other, long before man took his first steps toward the stars. These ancient aliens built a highly advanced society, with sophisticated technology and a means of traveling quickly across the galaxy through their warp gates. However, a terrifying cataclysm shook the very foundations of this great race and forced the few remaining survivors of the Eldar to retreat into the darkness of space upon their vast Craftworld starships.

Now these deadly alien warriors fight for their very survival as they attempt to regain some of their former glory. Thin, graceful and inhumanly quick, Eldar warriors are encased in armor of psycho-responsive wraithbone which shields them in combat as they whirl through the enemy with furious efficiency. By utilizing their arcane technology and powerful psychic abilities, an Eldar army is a highly specialized fighting force which is devastating on the battlefield. Although they are few in number, every member of the Eldar race is trained from birth to serve as a warrior when battle calls. Combine this fact with fighting cults of intensively specialized adepts known as Aspect Warriors, incredibly advanced anti-grav vehicles and war machines which are powered and controlled by the life forces of slain Eldar heroes and you will quickly see that despite their few numbers, the Eldar can quickly exterminate any that choose underestimate them in battle.
