If you're unaware, there's a difference betweem normal Guardians(Defender and Storm varieties) and the Black Guardians varieties. Briefly, Guardians are raised only when the situation demands it, like a militia, but the Black Guardians are a standing army of the Ulthwe Craftworld, hence they have greater skill in their respective varieties than normal ones(namely, +1WS/BS).
So then... of the four, I liked the Ranger drawing the most, especially his Ranger Long Rifle. The most promising was the Black Storm Guardian, but when I finished, it didn't look right. BTW, this Black Storm Guardian is wielding an Eldar Power Sword, so that means he/she was most probably of the Howling Banshee Aspect before this.
Critiques would be most appreciated.

Hey man, GW's IP laws prevent you from sharing the points costs and stat lines. They could sue you, and probably win.

The chances of it happening is low. Otherwise a lot of people would have been sued broke by that company, and they'd be a lot richer. No one cares about this here, and it's not going to hurt their sales(there's worse, like PDFs. They should be more worried with that than a few lines here).

True, true. But personally I'd not risk it.

Indeed. But I don't care any longer about this picture, so no reason for me to edit it.

Comics? I don't know if there's such thing. THe game itself though, I don't have the money to get the models, but I play it without the models anyway(lots of symbols on a table).

That's true. It'd be well on it's way to giving birth to a new god that could destroy Slaanesh.
Truth be told, I am wondering why Guardians have rather bad stats, because they were supposed to be former members of numerous Aspects, as I have read, among other non-militaristic Eldar.

Well, Gaurdians are actually civilians in the new codex. Kinda like how conscripts work in the IG.

SkyWhiteFox In reply to Snowfyre [2008-10-12 03:05:04 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, that I know, but these civilians had training in one of the many aspects, unlike the IG. So it really makes me wonder.

Well, hard to say really
they could have been old folk... retries.

SkyWhiteFox In reply to Snowfyre [2008-10-12 21:59:29 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, could be. Imagine seeing the Guardians approach you, then remove their helmets to reveal themselves as old people(by Eldar standards).

"Wow, so sleek, so graceful... "
*helmets off *
".... so.... OLD!!! "
Well, I always think that Gaurdians are civilians, your teachers, butchers, farmers, retired old grumpy folk and so on that can't really make it to real aspec warrior life.

That or they had retired from it, old and wizened. And rather unfit as compared to newer generations xD

yep,
A way to prevent the ageing population I guess.
Get rid of the ageing as kannon fodder.
