Eldar Weapons Recognition Help

[akaiyou]

So I 'inherited' my friend's old half broken Eldar army yesterday and as I sit running 'inventory' of everything he has i'm dumbfounded by the weapons...i can't really tell what's what so I check out the codex because they bring those nice pictures that show you the models with the weapons so you can know what the weapon is supposed to look like and I realize the eldar codex does no such thing.

Instead you get that 1 page that shows like half a dozen weapon diagrams/drawings and then it just shows weapon profiles for the rest. Being that i'm not an Eldar player (yet) I have no clue how to identify all the bits I received.

So how do the rest of you do it?? Is there a webpage somewhere that shows what each weapon looks like and for what units they are?

Any help with identifying these things would be appreciated.

Have you tried a bitz site? They should sell them by name.

Just click the squad you have, and you will (probably) find a picture of the weapon and it's name.

For example the support weapons are separate bits who are named after the weapon

Hope that helps!!

The starcannons are diff editions or something? They look a bit diff specially the back piece missing from the #2s

Thanks for the help.

1 and 2 are different because they are from a different vehicle i think. 1 Is from vyper or warwalker (i guess)
2 is from falcon grav tank (as are 3,57 and 8, the plastics that is.)

[Peter Cooman]

Like i said, i think this is the number 1.
