Creamer cannon -> Screamer cannon, I assume. That's a thing, right?
The shrieker cannon was/is a thing if I remember 2nd ed it had a different stat line death jester weapon maybe.
S6 is good enough to IDIG commesairs, a bit narrow focus but I play a lot of guard.

And hit and run with probably 4 or 5 base attacks at str. 6 I'm very excited for this book xD and then if there's points left take the Phoenix gem thing to come back to life!
unless i missed something autarchs dont get exarch powers just weapons.

Also, if accurate, the Cannon might be S8 vs. vehicles. The rumour for monofilament is that if the target Initiative is 3 or less (or nothing) it gets +1 Strength. Most vehicles don't have an Initiative value, so if that counts as Nothing for monofilament that boosts anti-vehicle effectiveness considerably.
This is all assuming the rumours are all accurate, and with the number of typos in that page it's a stretch. Creamer Cannon anyone? I wouldn't be surprised if the Nightspinner was S6 like every other mono-filament weapon.
these arent rumors they are from the codex and your right it has no initiative so +1 strength!!!
They're rumours until I see them in the codex in 2/3 days time.
They may be credible rumours, but the fact that it's a home made translation effort coupled with the innumerable spelling mistakes means I'm not going to accept them as 100% accurate. When 7 is right next to 6 on a keyboard and every other similar weapon has the same Strength I'm not going to take as gospel that the mono-cannon is S7.
humn error doesnt turn actual rules into rumors, they are still circumspect due to the points you made, but it does not make it a rumor.
Actually yes, it does. That's kind of the idea. The definition is "a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth." Their accuracy is by no means certain, although you seem to believe it is. And as a large number of the rumoured rules are para-phrased, I doubt they are accurate to what is in the codex.

I do like the replacement name for Krak Missiles. But wait... hold on... whoa... Reaper Launchers can fire the Starstrikes as well? Meaning Reapers can be anti-tank? Yikes!!!
Reapers got a massive buff.
They can fire their regular ammo and the Eldar equivalent of Krak, Flakk and I think Plasma.

I really hope that the wraithknight has some kind of rule to fire more than two weapons, that we haven't heard about yet. Seems really silly to have its default load-out include 4 guns.

S8 against most vehicles. Monofilament rules give you +1 St against models with an I of 3 or less, OR WHICH DON'T HAVE AN I. (Caps added solely for emphasis)
Most vehicles don't have initiative, so monofilament weapons get a +1 S against them.

Alright I decided I'd compile all the info released by Raziel/Souba here so it's a bit easier to understand and find the info you want.
I'm modifying his posts a bit for assumed english translations: (Rune Prophet = Far Seer, ect.) as well as better grammar for a cleaner look. All credit goes to him for the info as I am just compiling it here, also I'm perfectly fine if anyone wants to use this on the first page for easier access.
The original board has been lost but most of the info can be found here:http://pastebin.com/tdt9kAya# and this is what all my work is based off of.
General Army Info
Eldar Warlord Traits:
Spoiler:
1. One use only. In the Warlord's shooting or assault phase, the warlord and all allies within 12" reroll failed to wound rolls of 1.
2. One use only. In the enemy’s shooting phase, the warlord and all allies within 12" gain the stealth usr.
3. The warlord and his unit add +1 to their run movement (so d6 + 1)
4. The warlord rerolls failed saves of 1.
5. The warlord gets the split fire usr.
6. Allied Eldar units deep striking within 6" around the warlord don't scatter.
Exarch Abilities:
Spoiler:

Fast Shot: (may be spelled wrong I translate here): the exarch may fire his weapon 1 more time than normal. Has no use on flamers.
Assassin: in a challenge, the exarch and his enemy both roll a D6. If equal or higher the exarch may reroll failed to wound rolls. If the initiative of the exarch is higher than the opponents, he adds +1 to his roll.

Vehicle Equipment

Ghost Path Matrix: The vehicle gets the move through cover USR

Force Field: 5+ invul
Crystal Targeting Matrix: one use only. The vehicle (except walkers) can fire a weapon at full BS even if it has moved with cruising speed.

60" s 7 AP - assault d6+1, ignores cover, pinning.
Army List I am posting the info that was released by Raziel/Souba, the only point costs that are included are the cost of the base models themselves. This is not a replacement for the codex and is just meant to highlight the changes and additions that have been made in the new codex.

This.
Also, I'm still not sold on the Wraithknight.
It's expensive, has quite a few hard counters and only one weapon (Suncannon) puts out the hurt.
ATM, I'm leaning towards Reapers for my Heavy Support picks. They are too good to skip when they have an answer to everything except 2+.

I fail to see why the Hemlock is looked down upon or despised for its fear causing special gear. What's so bad about that? One could even argue that is a more merciful weapon since it appears to be non-lethal. And really, doesn't the rest of the Eldar arsenal sound or appear horrifying if you were on the other end of it? You've got Banshees shrieking at you, Dark Reapers in a skeletal themed suits, monofilament weapons that shred or slice you up into pieces, Scorpions that stalk you from the shadows before pouncing and shredding with chainswords... What's a little projected terror?

Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

S8 against most vehicles. Monofilament rules give you +1 St against models with an I of 3 or less, OR WHICH DON'T HAVE AN I. (Caps added solely for emphasis)
Most vehicles don't have initiative, so monofilament weapons get a +1 S against them.
faq lowered str to 6 base as noted before.
No it didn't, It changed the the profile of the shadow weaver (support weapon), not the doom weaver (night spinner).

Making Guardians BS4 is making me scratch my head. From a fluff sense, it makes no sense. On a lot of craftworlds, guardians are supposed to be a last resort - artists, poets, and janitors press-ganged into defending the craftworld.
Sure you could point to superior Elder tech compensating for this, but it makes a mockery of other elite units that have trained for years/ fought in a 100 battles, to gain that BS4
