Default Re: Do the Tau and Eldar commonly field women in their armies?

Tau don't need breasticles, but Eldar do have them, and Slaanesh shouldn't be the only force of Chaos reflecting a feminine aspect (Khorne would have an advantage at least once every 28 days =P). It makes sense that the gender more prone to reproductive capability would get held back from the front lines in armies dependent on having replacements all the time (Imperial Guard), but the only races that really have no reason to include women aside from space nut marines would be tyranids, necrons and orks.

I have to ask though, I might have missed a previous statement. Do the Eldar even reproduce? Or are they just strictly, "We are a dying race, we will live forever unless killed in battle, and then we will become one with the wraithbone... we don't do such barbaric things as reproduce..."

Ever notice, the fluff on Dark Eldar doesn't exactly label them as a dying breed? Perhaps GW should remake DE to be the race that survives when the Craftworlds all die...
Just a quicky: Eldar reproduce... hardly but they do

Dark Eldar are scared soulless of dying that`s why they actually eat soul/essence/whatever to survive

They lifestyle they partake in most likely attracts the attention of She who thirsts even more than any other eldar out there

Eventhough she can`t corrupt them all she picks at their souls, slowly killing the from the other side of reality that`s why they actually NEED to drain the life out of other beings

The fact that they torture them is just to add more flavor

Kinda like the C`Tan who simply refuse to suck on stars anymore, eventhough they`re a rich source of energy they prefer to short circuit living things billions of living things.

But that`s straying from the point a little bit

PS I don`t wish to see boobied powerarmor on Tau warriors
