    /tg/, I require ideas for a craftworld's fluff.

    So far, I've only decided on the name, Enohar, and this colour scheme.

    I'm trying to think of an original concept for a CW, but all the bases seems to be covered by the official ones.

    Second of all, I'm actually trying to avoid jetbikes because I really don't like the models.

    Their craftworld was once the home to and origin of Arha, the original Phoenix Lord of the Striking Scorpions. This is not well known, as they try to keep it quiet, but it's impressed into every Eldar on the world that they must make up for his failure. Guilt complex out the ass, plus a twisted history.

    Does the craftworld overcompensate or undercompensate? Do they view it as their job to show the universe what a Striking Scorpion can be, or do they avoid the path that is now 'tainted'?

    You could always just say they suspect that he originated from that Craftworld. Perhaps they found a very large, very old ruined Striking Scorpion shrine that bore evidence of having taught Ahra's philosophies buried away in the catacombs below the Craftworld's outer shell?

    They revere the Striking Scorpions. They're rare, as most occupants don't wish to fall to the same fate as Arha, but they have a small presence, although they are constantly monitored by the other aspects.

    As it is, the Green and Turquoise are too similar. On the tabletop, they'll just blend into one big mass. Your best bet would be to take two colours that contrast one another without clashing.

    First, anything that is more than just two colours. Secondly, something that has more contrast. Mixing two colours you won't really tell apart unless you look hard is generally bad.

    So, so far for fluff:

    An ancient Striking Scorpion shrine was discovered in the bowels of the craftworld, inspiring speculation that Enohar was the original home of Arha, the lost Phoenix Lord.

    This has led to a vigilant monitoring of the existing Striking Scorpion forces on board by the other Aspects.

    For what reason? I think it looks very eldar. They're not covered in power armor and that's not how their colour scheme should look, either.

    Look at the official eldar colours schemes, they look a lot more like that than like the one in OP.

    What the fuck? Both saim-hann and alaitoc has colours that clash worse than that picture. Black, red and white is about as much contrast as you get. No, wait, deep blue and bright yellow are worse.

    That's a more dusky blue with an even more dusky grey/white. It's much more subtle than either saim-hann or alaitoc. Or what exactly do you mean by "busy"?

    Yes, but then those colours are always very highly contrasting. You can't pull it off with two colours that are almost the same.

    If you want less contrasting colours, you need to get more funky with them, and preferably have more than two.

    Farseer Rai'Mu leads her undersized craftworld in their pursuit of peace, occasional engaging in friendly scrimmages with other Eldar, who find their obsession with hats and frills odd, but tolerable. Enoharians tend to have highly individualistic, and even erratic, commanders and lieutenants, whose position in the command structure seems determined by their psychic abilities, rather than competence or seniority.

    each of the 'main' craftworlds are famous for something; beil tan has loads of apect warriors Iyanden has loads of wraithgaurd.
    Are we going for something along the lines of Enohar has lots of X and this influences the way they wage war? Or is it going to be a generic and unremarkable craftworld, I'm thinking the former, maybe very close ties to certain Exodite worlds and incorporate fucking dinosaurs into this somehow

    a lost craftworld that vacated necron space. after a fierce encounter with the necron, most of the populous had been killed. The Warp Spiders of this craftworld had rescued the craftworld with the help of farseers to engineer the wraith bone of the craftworld to adapt the mindset of the parasitic warp spiders that lined the hull.

    have escaped the onslaught of the necron assault, the farseers and warlock spend a millennia transfering the spirits of ttheir fallen brethern into wraith bodies.

    after the Necron assault, the eldar of this craftworld developed a nack for close combat. as they turn necron artifacts into instruments of war.

    Why not? They probably come off as far too down-to-earth and morbid to be adept manipulators, and they know they're already dead men, so to speak, so they might as well take out as many warp-spawned horrors as they can.

    Also, methinks they'd mostly avoid fighting anyone other than Chaos or the Necrons. The other races just aren't a concern for them.

    A Ynnead-worshipping Craftworld looking to martyr itself? In that case you're going to be especially scorned by the Eldar of Biel-tan, who are fanatically certain the rebirth of their Empire will still come about and that it's the duty of all Eldar to contribute to this.

    I think it'd go beyond untrusted probably into the realms of actual fighting against each other. The two craftwords have complete opposite viewpoints. I don't see Enohar having a problem with killing other eldar because in the end the less living eldar the quicker Ynnead will be born

    Oh my god they're Malaldar.

    (Not really.)

    So, if they're hostile to Biel-tan, this gives us an idea where the craftworld itself is located, around the south-east of the Segmentum Tempestus, which would also mean they're close to the path of Hive Fleet Leviathan.

    Most of the Eldar of Craftworld Enohar are stoically resigned to their fate; to die and herald Ynnead's birth. There are however individuals who do not share this sentiment, mainly youngsters, they will often leave the craftworld perhaps for years at a time becoming corsairs mercenaries or rangers. Inevitably as time passes they come to realise the futility of trying to escape their fate and are drawn back to the craftworld.
