I'm not sure what to make of the Corsairs. The helmets are nice, the weapon arms too...but the backpacks are weird.

The Wraithseer is flipping awesome though.

I may swap out the Dire Avengers I'm running in my pirate Saim Hann list and use these as counts as. The Seer is behutifuwl, though I don't know how I'm gonna get it into what I'm using currently.

Very happy with these!

Forgeworld is really pumping out a lot of Eldar stuff recently. I wonder if this means we can expect a codex of them after the three confirmed ones are done. (Necrons, Tau, Sisters)

They've really been putting out a lot of awesome models.

Maybe, but the reason they've been pumping out a lot of Eldar stuff is because the Eldar are going to be in the next Imperial Armour

Space Wolves, Elysians, and Cadians fighting against the Eldar on an Eldar homeworld, essentially kept in 'deep storage' by a Craftworld.

I have trouble believing that companies would dabble in confusion by putting out real updates on a world-renowned prank day.

Doesn't really matter to me, though, I don't play using IA rules, and these guys don't look like they'll be migrated into the GW Codex...

Business doesnt stop on april 1st.. I find it extremely hard to believe that FW would create fake resin pieces, fake wraithlord models and then paint the fake models. Then they would create a fake newsletter talking about their FW open day and encouraging prerelease orders that cost REAL money and makes them REAL profit..

The benefit of all this work? Uh lost potential sales and man hours used to create such an elaborate hoax

Aprils fools jokes usually involve photoshopped pictures and witty yet absurd remarks that trick gullible people into believing theyre true. Those however take very little effort

Could it all be fake? Sure I suppose.. and if thats true then I will be amazed at the amount of time they have to waste over there :p

It won't be. Once again:

Forge World does not do April Fool's Jokes, nor do they actually display conversions from their employees in the newsletter.

Do you sometimes see conversions of stuff like that at the Forge World Open Day, Games Days, or in the Imperial Armour books?

Yeah. Yeah, you do. But at Open+Games Days, they very clearly tell you "this is a conversion done by X, ask him how he did it!".

To be fair, that's what the original Rogue Trader art for Eldar looked like. They had bug wings.

I'm mainly concerned about the fact that those puppies will snap very, very easily.

Looks like they're packin' lasweapons, which is a nice return as well. Those of us with significant stockpiles of the old Eldar weapon frames are going to have some pretty easy conversions on our hands. Those, a press-mold of the Vyper pilot head, some plasticard wings- blammo.

But I'll definitely buy the wraithlord kit. Man, is that thing pretty.

EDIT- Just realized how detailed the backpacks are- screw converting, I'm buying the FW stuff. Nice works, guys.

Also, this might mean some jump infantry that don't suck as bad as the Hawks do right now. C'mon FW, gimme some rules that make me want to blow cash on your products!

Scottywan82 wrote:I do love that the corsair leader has a fusion pistol. Are those guns something new too, I suppose?


I just realized that Oni forgot to post the description included. There seems to be an explanation as to that

Forge World Corsair blurb wrote:There are many bands of so-called ‘Corsair’ Eldar scattered across the galaxy, and all are savage and deadly raiders. Outcasts from the strict confines of the Craftworlds, the Corsairs live in self-imposed exile, seeking to explore the galaxy and experience the full gamut of emotion and sensation accessible to the Eldar’s sensitive psyche.

Most are young and adventurous Eldar who will eventually return to their homes older, wiser and tempered by warfare. Some, however, embrace the raider’s life completely and fall further still, becoming ever more bloodthirsty and psychotic, indulging their darkest impulses and eventually seeking out the infamous Dark City.


Here's the piece for the Wraithseer:
Forge World Wraithseer blurb wrote:Rare and precious beyond compare, their souls protected from the predations of Slaanesh within spirit stones, long-dead Warlocks of great power can still be summoned to aid their Craftworld in the form of a Wraithseer. Armed with a lethal D-Cannon and a Wraithblade wreathed in the eldritch energy of their psychic arts, a Wraithseer is a terrible and implacable foe.


So it pretty much tells us Wraithseers will be Psykers, and that Corsairs can eventually become Dark Eldar.

Fun!

interesting that the Corsairs are a third Eldar faction, and that they're a link between the Craftworlds and Commorragh. I wonder if there's possibilities for Dark Eldar to move to the Craftworlds? [I know that there's one DE that goes to a C'world in path of the Warrior, but are there more?]

I love them both, seriously! That and the battle board extension = winning...duh!

I don't mind the packs on the corsairs, makes me think of a kind of delicate looking 'aether sail' or something, which in my take on Eldar, works just fine.

My only nitpick would be to say I am not a huge fan of 'browless' Eldar helmets, and I miss the ol' Jes Goodwyn style runes on the front, although I realize they aren't aspect warriors. It is just something I always liked aesthetically.

Still, very nice, Eldar players and collectors should be very happy with FW these days!

Path of the Warrior touches on this a bit.

Long story short -
Spoiler:
it's not easy. The Craftworlders don't trust their Dark kindred for obvious reasons. But it is possible. And it also appears to be *extremely* rare. Any Dark Eldar who join the craftworlds are probably going to start out as Aspect Warriors while the acclimate; the one in the novel is a former incubi who joined a Striking Scorpions shrine.


Keep in mind that going the Craftworld->Corsair->Dark Eldar route essentially involves giving into the basic nature of the Eldar psyche, whereas going the opposite route essentially involves denying that. As such, the former is going to be a lot more common than the latter.

Wraithseer is a must have for me, but I don't like the Corsairs at all: They are just Guardians with ugly Rogue Trader era Eldar helmets and funny fairy wings. Not at all having the pirate feeling.

I would be interested to see if the Corsair parts will work on the Dark Eldar Warriors kit. Its much more up to date/higher detail than the rather dated Guardian kit and I really think you could pull off the whole Pirate look much better with the harsher lines and generally more evil look of the DE armour. From a fluff perspective they probably should have considered this, as depending on how far away from the Path you are the more likely you are to end up with Dark Eldar equipment.

Psychic MCs have been around for a while now. I'm just surprised it's taken GW THIS long to do one for Eldar(especially considering that Epic used to have Psytitans for them).

But it looks like the Dreadknight has another semi-mechanical Psychic MC to pal around with.

The Wraithseer is the small variant of the Warlock Titan:

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat490034a&prodId=prod1110094

Eldar Warlock Titan

A Warlock Titan contains within its wraithbone core the spirits of mighty Eldar Seers and Warlocks. As they were powerful psykers in life, so too are they in death. The psychic strength of these dead spirits, focused and amplified by the titan's wraithbone structure is phenomenal, far outstripping the powers of the living.

I'm loving the attention the Eldar are getting from FW due to the next release of IA.

It does throw up some interesting questions for the next Eldar codex release though.

Why make a wraithlord psychic?

If you ask me it's a real possibility that you will be able to take 3 WL's as a single heavy support choice. Couple this with being able to upgrade one to become a Wraithseer to stop the other two from suffering wraithsight. So they will not need a babysitter.

As a side note, isn't that a large shimmer shield that the Wraithseer has on it's arm?

If it is then this will counter another one of the WL's current weaknesses namely PF or Pclaws.

This is only my own musings however it still means happy times for all Eldar players.

Also, here's the Phantom Titan if you haven't seen it: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/Eldar-Phantom-Titan.html (sorry, I don't know how to embed images). Looks cool, although that starcannon sticking out of its chest looks kinda weird, it would be better if it had one on both sides.

Here a short summary of information from the Forge World open day:

- IA 11 still a few months away, planned for GD release latest, rules and stats are still playtested and worked upon
- Lynx will cost more points, shadow spectres less with better stats and longer range, Hornets can fire both weapons and become a flyer
- Shadow Spectre Phoenix Lord might not see a model, not all IA11 units get a model in the near future, but all standard Eldar units with rules in it.
- Wraithlord 0-1 HQ 4++ save, several psychic powers, e.g. giving fleet to Wraith units within 6", giving one life back on 6 to dead Wraith units, and forces -1 morale save on enemies (they fall back if not passed)
- Solitaire 0-1 HQ no IC, will probably get model, carries Vortex grenade in Apoc games for 75 points, doesn't make Harlequins troops though
- Avatar Apoc datasheet gives him 2d6 wounds, loses d3 wounds for each Apoc template wailing doom shot
- Seer council
- Gyrinx cat upgrade for a captain
- All corsairs jetpack troops, several different units incl heavy weapons, wings look better in person
- Corsairs use Eldar and Dark Eldar stuff, but Dark Eldar may make an appearance in IA 12 or even IA13, maybe with big barge ship, Evaluation in process, concet sketches shown
- Phantom Titan shown but not on sale until maybe GD , plans for Warlock Titan

Loving the double hulled Raider, the big cannon on the Ravager needs a bit of streamlining though (and why there are guys hanging off the side of a gunboat I don't know).

I'm really hoping they don't screw up the rules for the Phantom. 12 all around with only a 4+ save is pretty easy to deal with even if you do have 8 structure points, I was hoping for 13 front or a 3+ all the time. Hopefully both the arm weapons get some form of additional save against being stunned or destroyed, otherwise its just going to be torrented till its stunned/crippled (and then to death) by Autocannons.
Good to know that they are working on a few more weapon options as well as the Warlock though.

I get ya, now I wanna make an LEP army, it's been years since I read those books.

That is exactly the picture that came to my mind when i saw them and yes, an LEP army would be cool, anyone fancy writing some prototype rules for Holly Short?

Yes, so I'm not too keen on the corsairs but the Wraithseer is awesome!


Feth that, BUTLER'S rules would be the funnest. He would be essentially a SUPER ogryn. Or, really, just Nork Dead Dog, but much smarter.

Now I am hit with the great hammer of nostalgia. Might have to make a thread on an Artemis Fowl themed army. But no more off topic chatter for me.

If you ask me it's a real possibility that you will be able to take 3 WL's as a single heavy support choice. Couple this with being able to upgrade one to become a Wraithseer to stop the other two from suffering wraithsight. So they will not need a babysitter.

This would be nice. I'd finally reawaken my Wraithlords from their long slumber within the infinity Circuit.

As a side note, isn't that a large shimmer shield that the Wraithseer has on it's arm?

Yes, that's a ShimmerShield, but whether or not FW says it's a ShimmerShield is another story. It would be nice to see an invul save on WL's. Hopefully the spear will signal the return of power weapon witchblades. GW really screwed the Farseer and Warlocks when they dropped the power weapon bit from the Witchblades, made them almost, not quite but almost, useless in close combat.

Hell YEAH! I love the Lynx, the Shadow Spectres, the Hornet and the Wasp, they WILL be posted on my wish list wall, like other FW Eldar are, allthough since i have aquired a few of the FW models, some of the pics have been removed. It would be nice to see a Phoenix Lord for the Shadow Spectres but I wouldn't count on it, there still is no Phoenix Lord for several Aspect warriors because they came into being after the original aspect shrines, Warp Spiders for example.
Gotta have one or more of those Wraithseers, that thing is beautiful, and with a Warlock Titan being planned, it becomes a must have.
The Solitaire is a nice addition to see also, and I agree with the rules for him. He has always been more of an assassin type individual anyways.
Wonder what their gonna do for a Seer Council since all you need is 1 Farseer, and 12 warlocks, and if your like me you have that many and more floating around anyways, so you already have a Seer Council.
The Corsairs are cool looking, even if others don't like the backpack setup, i do. Place the wings in a more upright position and you have Japanese Samurai banners, so I'm gonna have to get some of these as well, probably a lot of them, like 60 or so.

- Gyrinx cat upgrade for a captain

For an Eldar player this is probably gonna sound stupid, but I've never heard of a Gyrinx Cat and so I had to go google it. Found some pretty interesting stuff to read about the cats but not enough, pretty much just nothing but the basics. They are supposed to have the abilty to improve the psychics of whoever they are bonded to, so could we be looking at a way to extend the range of Farseer/Warlock powers, or will FW make it an exclusive wargear item. I guess we'll find out in IA11, I never thought I would buy one of these except for the one with the Eldar in it, but now I have got to get my hands on this book when it is released.

To be honest, I think that model needs some work. It might just be the paint job, but I don't like it as I like other Eldar models. The spear looks nicely segmented, so I'll model him as if he he is about to throw the spear... then maybe the other army in front... then that blank face really annoys me, so I'll need to put a bit of detail on it. Otherwise, yeah, I can see something coming out of it.

by baneblade variant you mean the stormhammer right? one can hope, but as for the Eldar maybe we'll see those missing Phoenix lords such as the warp spiders and the shinning spears. also if they are indeed doing the warlock does this mean psi titans for the imperium as well such as the old psychic warlord?

Someone resculpted an old helmet, added some new guns, and slapped on super-fragile wing packs. Considering how awesome the shadow spectres are, these just seem lazy.

The same could be said for all the Marine armour/weapon variants, if you're going to be really picky, and look how well received they have been. Personally I think it's great that they aren't just fleshing out RT era Marines, but have gone back to the original Eldar background and are bringing out the Raiders as a playable list and models.

Here's to FW bringing back the Necromunda Spiders, Commissar training squads and Imperial Beastmen!

Not everyone has had your experiences with FW quality. Personally I have had nothing that warranted more than a quick bit of warming up to staighten up some pieces, no more or less than other resin manufacturers. Not everything they do is to my or everyones taste, but at least the results aren't the fudgy blurry messes of some sculpts that I recieved.

My FW experiences have been about 50/50 good and bad. However, the long spar sections of that twin hull design give a good chance for something to go bad. Id be pretty pissed if I got one and one side was an inch higher or lower than the other.

IMO for what FW charges I shouldnt have to heat and bend things back into place. They should take more time and care with the casting process, and give things a proper inspection before they ship them.

In comparison the 2 Armorcast battletech 28mm mechs I got were nearly flawless.

The Old Crow Sabre tank i bought was amazing. It had only 1 small blob of extra resin on the whole model, no flash, no bubbles/pits, and it had any rough sections sanded smooth and was completely free of mold release. What did all that cost me?...21 GBP, all told less than $45 USD including shipping.

FW has little excuse for much of the lack of quality they send to people, other than the fact that the rabid fanboys simply must have it, and they will pay any price for it and pay little regard to quality.

Heh. but for those of us with a bit of GS, a bit of time, and a whole bunch of extra Guardians and Wraithlords, it's a mighty fine time to get new rules for things we can make with our own two hands for free. I may not buy te models (okay, I'll buy a few), but I will definitely buy a beautiful book with well-written rules (from what I've seen so far).


Back on the rules for the Wraithseer, I see a few missing things:

[EDIT: Thanks, MandalorynOranj, missed the timing bit in the rules]

Putting Enliven or Deliverance at the beginning of the Eldar turn (like Fortune and Guide) would really, really screw us. Powers that you can't use in the turn you come on from Reserve suck- especially because heavily using Reserves is often the best way to play Eldar. So maybe shooting phase would be best for these, like how psychic powers work by default in the rulebook. Hmm. Well, at least they need to stipulate that the powers last until the beginning of the next Eldar turn.

Apart from powers, it looks pretty good.
The 3 attacks are nice, as is the option for a shoulder-mounted D-Cannon (!). A single ranged weapon isn't optimal TBH, but certainly characterful.
A 5+ for the wraithshield is kinda dumb- it really needs a 4+ as this thing will draw fire like nobody's business, and even with T8 3+ a pack of Long Fangs will take it down quick. Something you're paying points for should be at least as good as regular old cover saves.
And the points value looks quite balanced for what he's packing, given that the model isn't much more survivable than a regular Wraithlord but has a lot more punch.
The requirement for another HQ to fill the HQ slot is also both characterful and fair.

Well done, FW and Alan Bligh. Thank god you pawned Warwick off on something other than the IA series, the gaming community appreciates it!

The main jist from Forge World is that they want it released in late July.
