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.

It honestly depends on the age of the models... Some may not exsist now. This site could help:

At least he doesn't have any of the old "gattling gun" looking scatter lasers or mini-dcannons :P

There are labelled pictures of most Eldar heavy weapons on page 71 of the codex, there are also some pictures of other weapons on page 23
