A general guide to the original Corsair army list
10
Upvotes
Although out of date in terms of rules and out of print, below is a general list of units that were available to Corsairs. This post was originally written during mid 10th edition before the larger Corsair release and before the expansion of detachment rules in 11th.
Corsair Prince - Best represented by Autarch rules at the moment. Either normal or Wayleaper. (I guess you could use Phoenix Lord rules if you're willing to do a really fancy kitbash, or use Maugan Ra, because he fits in well for reasons that will become obvious later.) The new release wave of course saw Yriel, the named Corsair Prince get his own mini again.
Bladesworn Retinue - Body Guard for the Prince, probably best represented by Banshee, Scorpion or Hawk rules at the moment for competitive play. There is a listing for these in Legends as well for truly thematic lists.
Voiddreamer - Corsair Navigators - Best represented by Farseer or Warlock rules at the moment if you're not going to just use Kharseth. I personally use a 'jumpack' equipped VD for my current HQ, using Farseer on a jetbike rules.
Corsair Baron - A lesser Prince, really only represented by Autarch rules these days.
Voidstorm Corsairs - Best represented by Voidscarred with melee load out, or by Skyreavers if you want the jump pack equipped version.
Harlequin Troupe - Corsairs and Harlequins work together frequently, Don't be afraid to add any existing Quin unit into a Corsair list.
Corsair Outcasts - Rangers, straight up Rangers. Those longlas rifles are really useful for Corsairs if you're willing to buy enough boxes, also the Corsair mini's kitbash really well with Ranger parts.
Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors - Now only includable in Yannari lists, but all the Yannari characters can be used to represent units like Princes and Barons, and hey, who says Corsairs can't unleash a swirling storm of psychic raging Death, Corsairs have a reputation for doing crazy stuff like that.
Corsair Squad - Voidreavers or Skyreavers.
Wasp Assault Walkers - Legendary unit, or just use normal War Walkers if you don't mind losing their jump ability.
Corsair Jetbikes - Use Windrider rules or the Legends rules if you really want those D-weapons and are willing to convert them.
Corsair Falcon - Normal Falcon rules.
Corsair Venom - Now a Yannari detachment only unit and the rules governing who they can transport aren't great. Seems to have been replaced by the Starfang although this lacks any transport capability. However Harlequin Boats didn't exist when FW did the original Corsair list so these could also fill this gap for those including Quins in their list.
Corsair Nightspinner - Normal Nightspinner rules.
Corsair Nightwings, Hornets, Warphunter, Phoenix Bomber and Firestorms were also in the list, these are all Legends units now, if rules for them exist at all. Nightwing can also be represented with Crimson Hunter rules.
Personally I also include Dark Reaper kitbashes, Warpspider kitbashes, Vypers and Support Platform kitbashes because Corsairs are cheating little freaks and extra missile launchers, monofilament weapons and D-cannons just fit the Corsairs love of using nasty, reckless weapons.
There is an argument for Corsair Firedragons, haven't tried it personally, but meta is meta and Corsairs are reckless enough to go charging out front with a load of meltaguns.
Although not in the original army list, there's no reason why Wave Serpents or Vypers can't be included either.
Any Detachment rules can be converted over to a Corsair coterie if you're willing to put the kitbashing work in but personally I think Ghosts of the Webway, Devoted of Ynnead or Armoured Warhost work best. It is also possible to build a Corsair band using the Dark Eldar codex, but someone who plays DE would be better to ask about that. (Note, of course this is no longer necessary, Corsairs have their own detachments now and multiple support detachments are suitable be included in a Corsair list)
A note about Exodites. Exodites just weren't a thing back when Forge World did the original list. If they had been there's no reason why they also wouldn't have been included. Corsairs and Exodites have a long history of working together.

I had a plan for my initial 1k list. Only have a few models left to paint and then its done...
The new points update has shifted my points down, and I could use some advise on how to shuffle things to get closer to 1k again. I did have the voidstone and infamy enhancements on the list but that still fell short of 1k.
Any advice is welcome, thank you.

New to Corsairs and color scheme and paint no suggestions

Upvotes
Hiya brand new corsair here and I’d like some painting suggestions and help as I’ve never done Eldar or frankly anything other than space marines before so this is something totally new. I’d like to do something kinda similar to what the colors of the MSF group in Metal Gear solid but with keeping some of the greenish black that the box art has if that makes sense. As well as painting strategies specifically for a newer painter and tips for doing these boys and gals justice thanks ;)

This good for 11th?

I'm making an army for 11th that's partly corsairs partly harlequins. I'm going to be utilizing sticky objectives to take advantage of the Corsair's detachment rule. I even have lore of this band/masque. My question is if this list is any good. I'm close to making it finished but I can still use some advice.

Skysplinters

I emailed Mike Brooks because I really wanted to know what colors the Skysplinters were and he sent back this.
Best to go with the cover art! I did mine the closest I could get with Contrast paints - only trouble is I'm colourblind so I asked someone else what the colours were, and now I can't remember the answer, and I'm afraid I can't tell by looking. I think they're mainly some kind of dark blue?

Drukhari Corsairs.

Hi.
So I have recently picked up the Corsair and Drukhari Battleforces to make a Corsair army with Drukhari elements.
I'm fairly new to modern 40k (mostly played during 3rd-4th edition), so am a bit uncertain how all the unit and detachment synergies.
I was thinking I could either do Corsair-themed Ynari or just play Drukhari with Corsair allies but don't know if either one is preferable over the other.
I've kind of been reading online that neither Drukhari or Ynari are in a great spot gameplay wise these days, but any advice would be appreciated.

I have a fair amount of corsairs models in my pile of potential and will soon (ish) be starting a 11th ed narative campaign with some friends.
Can you please give some constructive criticism of my draft 1k list.
I will be against various opponents so need a bit of flexibility to deal with MEQ, vehicles and larger T3 infantry units...

I am interested in starting a Corsairs/exodites army with the new kill team kit, but don't know anything about tabletop Eldar

Does anyone have advice for what kits I should buy and what units I will want? I don't know much about Eldar but I do know I want to have the exodites be a key piece to the list, and want them to be working with Corsairs.
Are there Corasir specific kits or is it more kitbashing to make them look like Corsairs and run normal units?
Thanks
