Not yet, I'm caught up with this rebasing side project I've had since January. I'm trying out UV resin water effect gel on my autarch base and I'd like to add seed shells and static grass on my troops.
Any list choice for the banana boys is scary, what makes them great now is just being able to spend CP. As far as unique traits, that 5+ FNP their warlord gets, superior creation? Plus you already mentioned the devastating attack profile of those adrastus bolt calivers the Sagitarum guard carry. That said if you're fighting eldar, anything that messes up with phantasmancy or their runes is going to be helpful, ie: SoS empyric severance strat that buffs up their denies.

We also attend fantastic theater/poetry/music jams. Psychedelic drugs and murder usually happen.

I came extremely close to starting an Iyanden army a couple of years ago, but I heard they don't gel with Wraithguard and that makes me sad because Wraithguard are cool.
 
??? Iyanden is made up of wraith constructs, fluff and crunchwise. Some of the most hilarious stratagems and remnants of glory are exclusive to Iyanden (farseer on bike with psytronome of Iyanden which turns your wraiths into windmilling berzerks for a turn). They even have a unique character, Yriel, which is a souped up autarch with a AP-2 D3 meelee spear which always wounds on a 2+.
 
Yeah, I think he got something backwards at some point about Iyanden. Side note, but Yriel is the one Spess Elf that I can grudgingly respect. Unfortunately Eldrad seems to go right back into Turbo Dick territory whenever he seems like he's come close to finally realizing he's made things worse with his dickishness.
 
Eldrad was casted out of his craftworld and, unless Thorpe or someone else writes about it, he's not welcomed anywhere else, which sucks for him as he's nearly completely turned to crystal.

Like I said. The dude can't help but go full retard asshole dick. Pretty sure the correct response to "We're a dying race and everyone wants us dead because we're dicks" is not "Kidnap every single crystallized Farseer to use as part of a massive necromantic ritual to summon the god of the dead that will inevitably be interrupted because we've pissed off everyone and they'll think we're up to no good (and we are)."
"Walk away," said the Harlequin, "and a dire blow shall fall upon the Archenemy." Artemis recoiled at the term as the Aeldari spoke on. "Is your distrust so deep you would rather kill me now than spare the doom of a trillion human souls?" There was disbelief under his tone, and something else. Despair, perhaps.

"Yes," said Artemis, pulling the trigger to end the creature's life.

Here's those pics of the new Ventris book special edition

It won't be a proper Ventris book unless every single line of dialogue he has is Sly Marbo grade yelling as he charges the enemy with his sword. "The Codex Astartes does not-" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Dude's way to aggressive to be a UM. And in a good way, not like that dick He, Cato Sicarius.

Really? I did research on 8th edition rules and I thought I recalled reading that Wraithguard were awful in Iyanden. I'm happy to be wrong about that.
 
So that Dark Eldar codex how we feelin about that.

One thing that I liked about it, and a general trend that we are seeing with 9th edition is upgrading units. Trueborn, Bloodbrides, and Haemoxytes are a single unit of upgraded Dark Eldar troops with some unique abilities. The haemoxytes, upgraded Wracks, treat the damage from the first failed saving throw per phase as Damage 0.

These upgrades not only add flavor to your army but they also allow for new units without GW having to create a model for them. I could see certain units make a return like the Iron Warriors Warsmith or Ymgarl genestealers as upgrades. And perhaps some new units/upgrades: 13th Black Crusade veterans for the Guard, Kroot mutations, Ork Warpaint.

Kroot Mutations would be the shit! I want them to bring back the old chapter approved rules of kroot mercs for normal games of 40K.
