Product Information

Headstrong: +1 to charges. Helps Shining Spears charge from deep strike and that really is enough to get this an A Eldar have a very good set of stratagems that has held up surprisingly well considering how old they are. While there are some things that have become “standard” over time that they’re conspicuously missing, there’s some extremely strong stuff here and you’ll want to be familiar with them. You hate to see it folks. Craftworlds are a bit of an odd case in that it’s hard to pinpoint a single factor for why they’re so bad in 9th Edition, but they are consistently one of the weaker factions in the stats, and playing them on the table feels like an uphill struggle.

Yriel : If you ever want to take a Foot Autarch in an Iyanden list you should probably take him instead. However, you very rarely want to do either of these things. Empower/Enervate: Empower adds +1 to wound in melee, while Enervate subtracts 1 from your opponent’s wound rolls in melee. Generally, in both modes this is a more useful “all around” buff than Enhance/Drain, and if you want to bring a melee buff caster along this is usually it. I’d generally want to be making sure I had something else I could do with my cast as well (either a Smite or a Runes of Fortune power), as you definitely don’t need to be casting this every turn of the game, but it can definitely help a lot when it’s good. B Attribute – Wild Host: Re-roll charges. In addition, BIKERS can treat Heavy weapons as Assault when they advance. Autarch (Warlord, Fate Reader, Mandiblaster, Shuriken Pistol, Faolchu´s Wings, Reaper Launcher) (99)Now that we’ve got through all the pre-amble of covering units and special abilities, we’re ready to go through the units in the Eldar army. As with pretty much all earlier codexes, the units are a distinctly mixed bag, and we’re not going to dwell for too long on the ones that don’t quite get there. HQ Farseer

Suggested starting kits: Start Collecting! T'au Empire, T'au Empire Pathfinder Team, T'au Empire Fire Warriors Strike TeamTerrain and scenery: Technically optional, if you’re okay with fighting skirmishes on bland, flat, barren landscapes. Adding barricades, trees, ruins, and other items is the best way to avoid that. There are plenty of companies that sell pre-made kits, including Games Workshop, Gamemat.eu, The War Store, and Secret Weapon Miniatures. In common with most 8th Edition armies, Craftworlds get a named version of the Objective Secured rule. Troops units in Craftworlds detachments gain this, allowing them to control objectives even when they’re outnumbered by the enemy unless they also have Objective Secured. Ancient Doom While different Aeldari armies might choose to focus on specific aspects of the combat arts, they have a host of iconic units at their disposal. These are likely to be some of your mainstays. Farseer If it had ended there, no one could doubt the Eldar had paid a fitting price for their vile empire, but Slaanesh’s curse went even further. Firstly, the majority of the Aeldari Gods were brutally slain, leaving only a few to escape into the hidden places of the universe. The second, and most damning, impact caused by Slaanesh’s creation involves death itself. Without Gods to shepherd their souls the Eldar swiftly found that after death they were consumed by this nascent dark God.

Linked Fire (1CP) : We’ll explain this in the Fire Prism section. If you have them, you’re spamming this. B+ The first of all Phoenix Lords, Asurmen was the founder of the Dire Avengers Aspect Path, one of the most numerous Aspects of all. He is an exemplar of precision on the battlefield, devastating enemies with his elegant approach to warfare. Starting with their psychic might, the regular Farseers know two powers and get two casts and two denies each, and also have access to the Runes of the Farseer special rule, allowing them to re-roll one or both dice from a cast or deny each phase. This is an incredibly powerful boost, giving you a really good chance to land a key power and stop your opponent’s best one each phase. From a maths point of view with this, when you fail a cast you should (essentially) always keep a dice showing 4+ and re-roll a 3 or less. Denying can obviously be different – if you need to roll a double six then keeping a four isn’t going to help you! The other cool thing with this is that there’s no requirement to have failed the cast to re-roll – so if you roll a 1 and a 6 when casting a key power and your opponent has denies, it can be worth re-rolling the one, as you can’t possibly fail and it might make the deny harder. You can also use this to fish for a super smite if you’ve done all your key casts and have this still available. Just about lumbering out of the “other” category for this edition of the guide, a bunch of things about 9th mean that the Avatar is quite a bit more attractive than they ever really were in 8th. They’re still not cheap, but as Expert Crafters they’re pretty deadly in a fight, and bring a handy re-roll charges and fearless aura, which can combine well with trying to push units into combat from deep strike with Ghostwalk. The Avatar Resurgent is also very strong now, because if you’re willing to plow CP into it, this model can speedbump opposing melee brawlers for multiple turns with essential impunity, and will definitely deal at least some damage in return. Are all sensible Eldar players hoping that the Avatar inserts a big straw into whatever Ghaz and the Nightbringer have been drinking recently prior to the Craftworld codex landing? Absolutely, but right now there’s a least a semi-viable frame to build around here. If you’re doing that, strongly consider the Falcon’s Swiftness warlord trait, as getting a 9″ base move is appreciably helpful here. Other HQsWhy not to play them: They do not fare well in close combat. At all. Ever. That excellence in firepower comes at a price and that is being very vulnerable up close and personal. The T'au also have zero psychic power among their number which can cause serious disadvantages against enemies that do have it. They are also not quite as mobile as other so this can also get you in trouble. The best of the rest Battle Focus is common to non-Wraith INFANTRY, all BIKERs and War Walkers, and allows these units to use non-heavy weapons as if they had remained stationary in a turn in which they moved or advanced. Speed and precision are the name of the game, as most Aeldari units – from Aspect Warriors to Fire Prisms – can move fast and hit hard, but can’t weather much return fire. Aeldari armies are highly mobile, a specialised scalpel that can bring down a much more powerful opponent by careful application of incredible force. The universe of Warhammer 40k always exacts a price, however, and the one that the Eldar paid for their twisted ways and pride was one they paid in blood and terror – and one that the galaxy continues to pay. There are a ton of Warlord Traits to select in 9th edition, with the absolute best being reserved for Custom Craftworlds. They get access to Expert Crafters, simply one of the best Warlord Traits available to Eldar players. With it, you’ll get to re-roll one hit and one wound roll each time a unit shoots or fights. That means your damage just got an incredible buff, giving you the ability to chip away at your foe with impunity.
