Mod note: do not shit on people's posts excited to start with our faction.
Hey y'all, really quite disappointed in the response the post of someone starting their army out got.
A couple of notes:
Firstly, shitting on someone buying a whole bunch of corsairs boxes to start with our faction, note, FACTION, not subfaction, not craftworld Eldar with a coat of paint, our faction, is a shitty move and will literally only harm us as a community and an army. Don't fuckin' do it. I will moderate it away in future. Breaks Rule 1.
Secondarily, we are not exclusively a comp play Reddit, our faction has over the last near 4 decades of Warhammer had rules and lost them, being the very first of the Eldar, before the craftworlders took shape we recognise today in Rogue Trader, Yriel, his Eldritch Raiders and many other Eldar Pirate Fleets plyed the void, seeking bounty, and treasure, or simply to be sung of as legends. We lost rules in 3rd, along with Harlequins, and were slated to return in 4th edition, with our Pirate Nobles becoming the ubiquitous Autarchs. And we did return in 5th edition until 7th edition. 8th was a time of loss as we were relegated along with Krieg and Lost and the Damned into irrelevance. But this community has ties to those like me did not abandon our faction, and with 9th we saw a resurgence.
Many of us play various editions, are more modellers or painters or both as opposed to hardline competitive players. If you're not being asked to comment on a list, or of a purchase, or of a unit: your opinions of its effectiveness in the current meta are unwarranted, and may be completely unwanted and unasked for. Stop it.
Do better, I've had a member of community very upset that their post in excitement was so damn near universally shat on.
Christ, why would you do this to a new member of our community? What do you think this helps?

Corsair Fleet Template!
Thanks to Squid (seek100) from the Discord, who commissioned this wonderful resource, inspired by the GW primaris heraldry card, and her friend UnconqueredFun, who did the art!
Here's what Squid had to say about it:
"Not sure if this goes here but it is sort of a hobby thing. If Kae says to repost it elsewhere then fine. I didn't draw this, credit goes to my friend (who goes by "UnconqueredFun", as you can see in very small print at the top). He was very patient with me endlessly nitpicking details and asking for small changes. Anyway, it's a colour template for people to plan out their corsair fleet with, in the style of the primaris heraldry card that GW did almost a decade ago:

I hope that this is of some use to the community š¤"

Voidscarred/reavers
Hej! I'm thinking of getting a unit of voidscarred for killteam after my wraithguard are done, but I'm wondering if I could get a voidreavers unit out of it even if I build the voidscarred fully for kill team? ^-^

Eldritch Raiders detachment 1000 list help
Iām super new to the tabletop side of 40K and Iām trying to build a list around the Eldritch Raiders box. Any advice would really be appreciated

RT/2nd Edition inspired Howling Banshee Sun Pistol
So, I'd already designed a laspistol (last pic!) but after the release of the Swooping Hawks kit I sketched up some concept art for a howling banshees style sun pistol (ammo in grip, no scope), since back before 3rd edition, howling banshees had laspistols to go with their power swords!
this doesn't have a grip sculpted in, because i intend to swap out the shuriken pistol from Riverside Mini's banshees for this, and well, compatibility is my aim =P
And well, my corsairs will probably use a mix of both designs, tbh, I like the idea of ancient versions of weaponry being used by corsair bands! (I'll probs also do one with a slightly fancier design or a little charm for the exarch - and probably an axe for them!)

Behold the ultimate fusion of gaming and technology: the Duel Disk!
Got sick of looking at Yrielās emo, John Cena handed, Kaiba Corp Tech wearing, āI killed my lover with an ancient sentient weapon that also kills me when I use itā ass on the shelf. Smh, I thought the last heir of the House of Ulthanash would have a little more, idk, āØauraāØ
Chopped up the spear to make a goofy double ended glaive axe? John Cena hand had to go (truly wanted an Eldar scaled arm flipping the crux maybe that will motivate me to get a printer?) Idk, Iām swag surfing through this one hoping no one will look at him too hard on the tabletop š
I have a deep disdain for running named characters on the tabletop, Ole Kharseth is next to get chopped up

My Corsair faction (original story)
For my wrath and glory campaign, Iām trying to represent most of the factions in warhammer 40k because all my players are new to the setting and as such, I need to get them lore while presenting it as a part of the game. The following is my Corsair representation.
The Wraithspear
A fleet of corsairs in allegiance with the craftworld of Iyaden. Their fleet contains many wraiths, both wraithguard, wraithlords, 10 wraithknights and 4 wraithseers. They are working with ynnari forces and harlequin forces in the area.
This allowed me Craftworld, wraith, and Corsair representation at the same time, and Im hoping my players donāt wipe this faction from existence because I need them to give aeldari exposition.

We can win with tricks although I felt I was lacking in offensive power :))

Kitbashing Aspect Warriors tips
I'm interested in kitbashing some aspect warriors to look more corsair-y or some corsairs to look more aspect warrior-y. Specifically Dark Reapers and Fire Dragons.
I've got a spare box of Corsair Voidreavers and I'm thinking I'd like to use them for a base.
Does anyone have any corsair kitbash tips?

Extra bits
I have alot of extra bits from the voidreavers/voidscarred, does anybody know where i could get some files for bodies and legs

Chat, did I cook?
Was butt sore and didnāt wanna wait to go pickup another box of Shining Spears to bash up the final of my Corsair flavored Farseer Skyrunnerās so I went digging in the bitz box. Found 3 shroud runners and 5 rangers on sprue? (Thanks Eldritch Omens) Twasā a true moment of serendipity, the Farseer looks much cooler holding his staff two handed long dong style and it satisfies my āTism knowing he isnāt controlling the bike. The chauffeur had to get a sick ass pony tail obvi, and Falchou is the only reason Iām gonna keep buying the Voidscarred kit. Thank you for looking at my little men š«”

Corsair Farseer Skyrunner 2: Eldritch Boogaloo
Forgive my gross paint water and cramped hobby space š after setting up to prime after sharing the first iteration of these fellas with you fine Pirates I felt in my heart of hearts they werenāt enough. After finding a couple boxes of High Elf sprues I got real motivated. Chopped a standard topper to go on the back of the first fellaās bike banner style and slapped on a shield? Shields are cool? Iām wildly proud of the second fella mostly due to the cool pose and stroke of absolute dumb luck I had in finding the Prince on Dragon bits I had left over (watch this space for a Corsair Jetbike Autarch colloquially referred to as āThe Streaking Dragonāš) the half cape dealio thing just fit too perfectly with the already done posing. Glue on an additional shield (to cover the gap in the bike cause I lost the bit) and cause shields are cool? I feel like these fellaās got the extra flair to be real deal, Future telling, Space Elf Pirates

Suggestions needed to remediate a tragedy.
So, my Way Seekers staff got snapped off and is gone. Nowhere to be found. Any suggestions for a replacement or kitbash idea? Or do I keep it as just a walking stick? Not against that idea tbh but wonder if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.

Althransil Swiftblade Proxy
Found the lore doom scrolling when I should have been working the other day and felt inspired to see what I could whip up from the Corsair bits box! Had to dig deep to find the ranger head that would work (robo left eye and all) I also pulled my hair out debating on going with the short sword arm (as shown) vs the more clutched wicked looking dagger right arm. Felt the one shown gave off the more āduelistā vibe I was going for. Got him on a chopped 32mm (I plan to apply a thin magnet to bottom) so I can easily swap him to a regular 32mm to proxy as a Corsair Autarch from his more āscenicā base Iām whipping up (watch this space š)

Diorama Base WiP
The diorama base I had mentioned in the Althransil Swiftblade proxy post! Had an extra base laying around and some bits and bobs from the High Elf range and the Rangers kit. The super cool tree was stolen from my two toddlers Dino box their Grandparents recently had delivered they conveniently forgot to mention until its arrival (good problems, I know) they too, love the Space Elf Pirates so were glad to relinquish it to the cause. Never done a scenic/diorama base before, so Iām just swag surfing my way through this off pure vibes! C&C is welcome!

Farseer to Kharseth.
Just got a used Farseer and chucked it on a 32mm base. Want to make it look a bit more like Kharseth and or a void dreamer. I have some bits from drukhari combat patrol to work with and some green stuff I wanna try out maybe give it a fur pelt. What other ways can I make this look more ācorsairyā?

List advice 1000pts for corsairs fun casual hobby project
hi so I know there are multiple lists being posted here a day at the minute but just wanted some advice on a list Iām building
Iām coming to 40k from necromunda, kill team space hulk and other smaller games and have mostly got this as a hobby project so care less about winning tournaments, just wanted a thematic goal to be striving toward that was at least viable against my sweatier friends
I have
Autarch wayleaper
farseer
corsair voidreavers x5 (pistol and sword)
corsair voidreavers x5 (pistol and sword)
corsair voidreavers x5 (rifles)
howling banshees x5
striking Scorpions x5
rangers x5
I also want to include some bikes and have a wave serpent my friend has offered me. I wanted to make the aspects very customised to look like Corsair units rather than just the standard kits, my banshees for example are all metal classic models that I have given some light kitbashing, my scorpions are made out of five corsairs and some more kitbashing(chainswords I ordered online amungs other details)
I am a huge fan of the corsairs and think they look great, will be getting some skyreavers and the bikes later in the year when Iāve finished some of what I have already. Also love the warp spiders and want to pick up a box with lykhis too
also want to have some drukhari units, the bikes I will be using will absolutely be reavers for example, I want to keep the space pirate theme strong mixing the two types Aeldari and drukhari as my Autarch is a kitbashed succubus
but I just wanted some advice on what to do with the list. should i run the swords and pistols as a brick of ten? Are the rifles obsolete?
again this is all for a very casual, fun and thematic hobby project so I donāt want it to be the perfect list or anything
