Well it looks like Eldar are next on the hit parade (even though if GW actually read their own fluff they'd know the Eldar should be extinct by now, but why quibble).

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/463557.page

So that means it's time to post fictional and made up rumors!

1 - The reason for the Eldar's decline and fall is finally reviled - GAY MARRIAGE!

2 - To bring their stats in line with their models which are much thinner than IG, Guardians will now be S2, T2.

3 - The reason for the Eldar's decline and fall is finally reviled - OBAMA CARE!

4 - Guardians get a major buff, their shuriken cats now have a range of 13 1/2 inches!

5 - The reason for the Eldar's decline and fall is finally reviled - THE GUB'MENT TOOK THEIR GUNS!

6 - Warp Spiders NOW IN FINECAST! No need for new sculpts since they obviously got them perfect the first time.

7 - The reason for the Eldar's decline and fall is finally reviled - CHILDHOOD OBESITY!

8 - Harliquins can now take land raiders!

9 - The reason for the Eldar's decline and fall is finally reviled - INTERNET PIRACY!

10 - New monsterous creature, the Wraith Marquis!

What other completely fictional rumors do you have to add?

Harlequins will now have a new type of gun. It shoots flowers, models hit are removed from play as they feel shamed by getting rickrolled by clowns. Similarly, their melee attacks also remove from play. They also have a 3+ invuln save that is rerollable if the Harlequin is painted in at least 10 different colors.

Eldrad gets a new sculpt, the highlight of which is a massive codpiece to carry his, well, you know.

The new Eldar Flyer is amazing, it has 4 twin-linked bright lances and 2 twin-linked scatter lasers. Its also the very first vehicle kit made completely of finecast.

They were squats all along!

They are only going to be able to ally with Ultramarines.

Because they consider Roboute Guilliman to be their spiritual liege.

And their strongest psyker is a half human, half eldar Space Marine Librarian.

All the Phoenix Lords can be taken as one HQ FOC, which unlocks Phantoms as troop choices.

The eldar have this new weapon mount called "Bane of Slaneesh" it is a long shafted weapon with a bulge at the end and two power spheres.
In the fluff it shoots white warp energy that cause those hit by it to be teleported to slaneesh her/himself.
Bane of slaneesh may not be sold to those under the age of 18, or anyone with common decency.

To show that Eldar really are the pinnacle of Psychic powers, they will have access to all of Biomancy's spells and will generate 1/2 of a warp charge per Farseer on the table.

The reason for their fall is described. It was MY LITTLE PONY!!!!!

To keep in line with High Elves from WFB the Eldar will be given frost and fire flying Bluejays and Cardinals. These will act as Heldrakes and have a Eldar Guardian riding on the back. They will also have flying chariots and flying D Cannons pulled in tow by their mighty war birds!

It will turn out that the Dark Eldar are actually good, and the normal Eldar are actually evil.

The Bane of Slaneesh however can be countered by the Boon of Slaneesh, a narrow warp porthole mounted between two long graceful limbs. So long as the Bane's power is fired right between the two limbs into the porthole there is no damage.

For nine months at least.

The only issue with the OP's post is that the Brits (and Europe in general) generally tends to be more left-wing...there is virtually nothing resembling the ideals of the U.S. republican party and so it's more likely that they would support both gay marriage and obamacare. That being said:

The Eldar are going to get invisible, deep-striking webway gates that can spawn wraithguard.

Nah, the OP got it right.... Shame it took all the Lefties 40,000 years to come around, though. (I think he meant revealed.)

Well keeping in line with the mood of my country these past few weeks *sigh*, the cause of the Fall is revealed..
..
..
..Thatcher.

On a more (less?) serious note, in keeping with GW's desire to be releasing bigger and badder models for each army, the Eldar can now field a Craftworld as a 0-1 heavy support choice, Saim-Hann and Ulthwe the only named Craftworlds, the former taking up a FA, the latter a HQ slot. These do not count towards the 0-1 limit.
Also, to tackle the Riptide and Dreadknight, a new Monstrous Creature that looks like a walker is to be released, the Wraithavatar.

Thinking its rather silly to keep a dying race like the Eldar fighting, GW retcons them into a pact with the humanity of man making every Eldar warrior half Eldar and half Space Marine.

These new Gem Marines all have lasers and mind bullets and move as fast as Spiderman.

Not if he's fixing to "revile" a new race for 40k, in the style of an earlier, storied reviling Of the Pan Fo, talked of back in the day on these forums.

New Eldar flier has a 1% chance of looking even vaguely similar to the Forgeworld Nightwing, 99% chances of resembling a giant cockatiel that gaks rainbows.

Farseers are now plastic. Everything else is now Finecast.

Fixed that for you.

They'll be able to actually win a game.

Macho Eldar exist.

BairdEC wrote:

No I mean reviled... you kind of had to be there.

Exodites will be released.

We will get a new monstrous creature from the spiritual remains of Eldrad - The Wraithdrad.
As 'all but a handful of eldrads waystones have fallen dark', we will be able to field 56 wraithdrads per foc.

We will get a warp spider phoenix lord.

We will also have a new rule - 'we knew you were going to do that'. This rule, said at ANY time, automatically means we win. Even when your mate is asleep at 3.45am and you have to phone to tell him.

Ok, so the following stuff is what I saw from the leaked codex at HQ.

Eldrad now comes back from the Dead as a Wraith Lord with S10 T10 2++ Invul 5 Wound, Fleshbane Armor Bane, AP1, ID, Eternal Warrior, Fearless, rerollable FNP(2+), Never ending Psychic(Never perils), ML5 and have all power in all books.

Runes of Warding now has a range of 720" yes 720".
and makes your opponent roll 4D6 + psychic level * 1D6 for psychic test.

Normal enemy Psykers within Runes of Warding have to take a psychic test with the runes of warding rules, and the pskyer gets removed if failed.
Entire units Psyker squads are just removed.

Rune of Witnessing allows you to roll 4D6 for every shooting, assault, saves, FNP for all allied units within 720" of Eldrad, and can choose the result that you like.

Eldrad also now makes Wraith Lords troop choices and reduces point cost for Wraith lords by 50 points and all upgrades are now free.
Also they can be taken in squadrons too.

Eldrad also act as a wraithseer for all purposes,

Eldrad's weapons all have a 180" range.
S10 AP1 Large Blast Assault 10.


Fluff Summary from what I saw in the codex.
Eldrad consumed Tzeentch and took away all the blue scribs spells while he was in the warp.
Killed Draigo since Draigo pissed Eldrad off for calling Eldrad a sissy Xenos.
And one day his spirit stone got placed into a Wraith and became a Wraithlord himself.

Eldar will have a new rule called "Eldar Trickery" it works as follows:

Roll a D6 for every unit in the army:

1) That unit gets a 2++ save until their next turn.
2) That unit can move an extra 6" in the movement phase, with no penalty to anything (not even shooting. Heavy weapons can be fired as if they never moved, if they only use the bonus 6")
3) When the unit next gets shot, the enemy takes all the wounds, instead of the Eldar.
4) The unit gets "Preferred Enemy" and "Hatred" against all enemies.
5) Matt Ward invents a new cheese unit/rule/weapon and gives it to the Eldar player.
6) Auto win.

Fix'd. I think thats the official joke at that point isn't it?

The Codex will have Cost-Efficient units.

Solitaire will be back.

He has WS and Initiative of 9, can only be hit on 6's, moves like a beast, has a 3++, gets an extra attack dice for the distance he rolls to assault, rends on a 3 up.

He cannot join units, costs over 200.

Runes of Warding becomes so powerful, that if anyone in the room uses it then all psykers on every table take all psychic tests on 3d6. Stacking.

Next, bring back the seer council - 5 farseers for 1 hq slot.

New HQ that make wraith lords troop choices and change unit composition to 1-3

Eldrad only suffers a Perils of the Warp if you roll a 13 on 2d6.

6 - Warp Spiders NOW IN FINECAST! No need for new sculpts since they obviously got them perfect the first time.

Why is this in a 'rumours' thread?

It's already a thing...
{Edit: Making slightly smaller}

All new Eldar models are made out of chocolate. For every model you eat in game, you get one victory point.

New Warlord traits:

1-Every unit in your army that has any psykers in it gain drop-pod like assault (1/2 on the first turn, roll normal, safe DS)
2-Each psychic power that is used can be used twice in a row, choosing a different target. They may target units the psyker is not in. If you do not have any psychic powers, you lose.
3-All guardians count as wraithlords.
4-You may field Eldrad for free. If you already have him, you win.
5-All your models are now psykers (level 1) with access to any discipline. If they were a more powerful psyker, they stay as they were.
6-At any point, you may remove a squad on the table, from your army, and replace with the same number of either Warp Spiders or Swooping Hawks. these may be swapped out as per this rule. Your removed models do not count as kill points.

All models are now plastic except Warp Spiders and Swooping Hawks, which will be sold individually in finecast.

Army rule: for every other person playing Eldar at the same time as you, you may field 1 extra unit, from any slot, without paying its cost or taking up a FOC slot.

All vehicles are now Psychic Pilots (level 1) with access to Divination.

New eldar only psychic powers. They can either: target friendly unit rerolls all dice in all rolls that fail; give any 1 special rule to a unit; safe DS a unit already on the table, they do not count as DSing this turn and can be done in assault; hit every enemy unit within 12" with a number of Str 4 AP- hits equal to the number of models in the unit * its leadership, ignoring cover; and target enemy unit rerolls all successful rolls until the end of the game, overriding all abilities that allow rerolls other than this one. -- Each power only costs 1 WC.

Following the great success that was Codex: Tau Empire, we here at Games Workshop feel it best that we bring every xenos codex in line with the design philosophy that made the release such a brilliant success. As such, we have completely redesigned the way Eldar units function and interact. This is great news! Now you can buy all sorts of new, beautiful Citadel models.

Our bright visionary, Jeremy Vetock, has devised a new system: Psychic points. I'm excited already! Basically, every eldar unit starts off as rather weak: WS: 2 BS: 2 and so on. Do not fret, there is where Psychic points come into play! Eldar Farseers now have the option of taking a "Pysker Beacon" which allows you to generate psychic points. You may then apply each psychic point to an individual Eldar unit which then raises each stat by one (Or, in the case of armor saves, lowers it!). A Farseer may only generate one psychic point per turn so if you want to maximize your units you should probably do well to take additional HQs. Farseers, Seer Councils and Warlocks all can generate psychic points.

Now, you must be saying "Gee, that sounds dandy, but won't that only net me 2 psychic points?". Worry not for we have thought about this. We are now introducing a unit called the "Maidens of Channeling" which in lore are all female but, of course, are modeled to be all male. We know and respect our customer's tastes after all. Maidens of Channeling, which are only $50 ($100 AU) and available in lovely Citadel Finecast, are an elites choice unit that can be attached to your HQs in order to boost the amount of Psychic points they can each generate. However, the amount of psychic points the maidens help generate depends on the amount of psychic points they in turn are assigned. For instance, 0 assigned points will only get you a 0x multiplier, 2 will get you a 2x and so on.

Of course this does leave your units vulnerable until later turns. To remedy this we have decided to introduce a huge, new and exciting unit called the Wraithlock Doom Machine, a huge walker that can, in addition to laying down a withering hail of contemptuous fire, cast psychic points! However, it can only be activated if you cast 3 psychic points on it.

Also, to represent the constant losses that the Eldar war machine takes and cannot replenish, we are removing Dire Avengers from the product line and making Guardians the only troops choice. However, to represent the amount of citizen soldiers that must be fielded in order to still remain effective we are increases unit size to 20 and lowering the points value to 5 a piece.

To make things better we have also removed Harlequins from the line since we feel that they do not fit in the "Grim, darkness of the far future" theme we want.

We would tell you more but that would ruin the suprise! No doubt you are giggling in anticipation for this new Codex! I know you are, I can almost hear it! I'm excited too!

I'm pretty sure this is a confirmed rumor.

The reason DE and regualar Eldar are Brothers is revealed.
They are the same, There are no Craftworld Eldar, No DE, just eldar that like to put on different costumes from time to time to mess up the other races.

73 - Codex Eldar is THE most throughly play tested codex in GW's history with over 3 play test games, one of which only featured marines as an ally!

74 - The true reason for the decline and fall of the Eldar is finally reviled - Rap music!

75 - New rule: The End is Near. To simulate the Eldar decline after every battle you must line up the casulaties. On a roll of 3-6 you may return them to your case. On a roll of 1-2 however you must smash them with a hammer never to be used again.

76 - The true reason for the decline and fall of the Eldar is finally reviled - Tattoos!

77 - If an Eldar army has a farseer you MUST provide your opponent with a copy of your army list one week before the game. If you don't you auto-lose.

78 - The true reason for the decline and fall of the Eldar is finally reviled - Kids wearing baggy pants so you can see the top of their underwear, I mean what's up with that?

79 - New strategam - Take them from the Rear! This new strategy is highly effective however if used against Dark Angels both players must leave the room, turn out the lights then come back 30 minutes later and clean up. there is no explanation for this in the codex.

80 - The true reason for the decline and fall of the Eldar is finally reviled - the Pan Fo!

The true reason for the decline of the Eldar : Farseer TomKirby.

They finally make a new farseer model. In plastic. Looking exactly like a former metal/finecast model. (sorry, true)
Gamers are demanding a female Farseer for 20 years. GW listened. And still won't release one.
The new flyer doesn't look like the fabulous FW models, it doesn't look like the beautiful DE model, it is a Vyper with wings and a tail glued on, for 60$.
The Harlequins get a special character: Chris Rock.
Warlocks on jetbikes are the uber unit in this Codex. Sorry, still no models.
Eldar get a monstrous creature, which isn't a creature (true). It is just a bigger Wraith Lord with two extra weapon choices to save design time.
Banshees and Scorpions get a dual kit, males and females use the same body sculpt.
Hawks get a new sculpt, still ugly as hell and useless.
Eldar Avatar is missing from this Codex, all killed in previous 5th edition Codices.
Gamers are demanding Eldar terrain for 20 years. GW listened. And still won't release any.
Eldar get a new bigger tank. Not the fabulous FW models, but a stretch Falcon to save design time.

Eldar psykers have a new power called FIRIN MAH LAZER! that has strengh over 9000 and range 1337"

Phantom and Revenant titans become a troops choice, guardians become an elites choice.

New Avatar kit will be released:

This pack contains The Avatar of Khaine - a finely detailed plastic kit that comes in five components and is supplied with a choice of conscript, ratling, scarab, Sm Scout, cultist and warp beast clutching the avatars molten heart. Supplied with a 40mm round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly (in a mortally wounded pose) - we recommend using Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints.

Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. Part Code: 99800104004

I'm imagining a stretched falcon with undercarriage lights, dropped suspensor units and a bangin' bass in the boot

(don't forget the awesome airbrushed artwork of a falcon crying in front of the flag of Iyanden... Never forget!)

108 - For the first time the Eldar Emperor - Emperor El'Phee D'Spes'Alf will take the field! He is borne into battle on a pallaquin carried by four Avatars which has him, his eight Howling Banshee consorts, 12 twin linked D cannons and full orchestra. The kit costs $4000, which is also its point value.

109 - For the first time the secret of the decline and fall of the Eldar is reviled! They started playing Warmachine!

110 - new elite unit, the Howling Swooping Striking Reaping Warping Dragons. Armed with jump packs, power weapons, fusion guns, webspinners and missile launchers. $50 for 3, finecast, mail order only. Minimum unit size 10.

111 - For the first time the secret of the decline and fall of the Eldar is reviled! They refused to pay for the mark up in Eldar Dollars even though if you look at the minimum wage they really have to work fewer hours to buy the same thing.

Good News!

Avatar shards will be reviled.

A new bit of fluff will be produced showing how the Eldar join up with the Necrons when they stub their toes, because the Necron Ressurection Orb is also a pretty good painkiller when combined with a certain kind of shiatsu massage. The BA codex will be redacted to show that the alliance with the Necrons was actually orchestrated by the Eldar because they love their metal friends so much they want everyone to have a go on the horriblemetaldeathbeasttrain.

Surely everyone knew that already... I mean Eldrad is obviously a contraction of Etherealdrad... he just shortened it to stay in wth "the kidz".

Exodites are included.
Although it turns out 'there are no lizards on exodite worlds'

Swooping hawk's will stop being jump infantry, and become flying infantry.

Like, a Wraith Lord giving an Avatar a piggy back ride?

Winning!

Exactly - this will keep his hands free so he can still wave his wailing doom at people!

Well, Eldar and the 6th edition do not fit very well together.

- Eldar tanks are heavily overpriced for what they can achieve. Hull stripping is a way to get rid of them and you can hardly do something about it. Clearly, a 5+ jink save helps a bit but only to a certain point.
- Eldar powers may become available by a random table. This is bad news if you rely on fortuning your Seer Council.
- Eldar troops are very weak (low toughness) and can hardly hold an objective for some time (bar Wraithguard, which i find too expensive anyway).

I'm curious to see if the Eldar codex writers will have some answers to these issues.

By the way, there is another interesting thread here: What do we want to see in the next Eldar codex?

It will turn out that the Eldar are suddenly battle brothers with Tau, Necrons, BA and GK, for "fluff" reasons.

PredaKhaine wrote:

Hehehehe... So all Exodite cavalry are actually eldar wearing fake lizard suits with their own legs providing the motive power? I always thought their legs looked a little weedy!

Contrary to popular belief the new Eldar Codex will NOT come out this summer. It's slot is to be used up by the much needed Squat update.

The Eldar solve the problem of their ever dwindling numbers by cloning themselves. All aspects are dissolved "for fluff's sake". Now GW can use a single sculpt for all Eldar units and models.

New Eldar flyers:

NightwingScytheRaven:
Carries 20 models and may also carry a Revenant Titan that can be disembarked in the same capacity as normal troops can is non-active until deployed.

4 twin-linked SuperBrightlances(Blast), 2 twin-linked Long-barreled Shuriken Supercannons(Str 9, AP1, Blast and with a range of 1 inch).

Vector Dancer, Strafing Run, Skilled Rider, Stealth, Shrouded and Hover Mode.

Armour Values are 12/12/11 to keep it well balanced.

Must be taken with any Eldar army, costs 310 points and must be represented by a new finecast depiction of Matt Ward. If no model of Matt Ward is available, the vehicle comes with this upgrade:
Holofields - Treat this vehicle as zooming regardless of how far it moves or if it is in Hover or Flyer mode. Keep in mind the occupants will never be able to get out nor will it be able to fire any weapons...ever.

Please get that model of Matt Ward in Finecast for only $80


PhoenixBurnaNiphilim:
Weapons: None
Armor Value: 10/10/10
Transport Capacity: 60
Access Points: None
Firing Points: None
Special Rules: Useless, Flying Joke, Wish I Was A Real Flyer, and Balanced for 6th(Please see Page 34 for these rules).

Must be taken in all games under 1000 points
Costs 500 points

Well, i'm really not keen on Exodites which form another squishy faction that is hard to pull off.

There are some strong rumours of a new Apoc formation:
4 Phoenix Lords, Wraithlord and Avatar can create Eldazord.

Also there is an Eldar bastion: Eldrad Malibu Dreamhouse for 99.95. Eldrad and Falcon sold separately.

No. He dresses in non-spess viking stuff, so he doesn't have matching clothes.

And I brush his hair.

WHAT DID GW DO TO ME!!!?!??!??!?!

The codex will be hard cover and cost 75$ us. When you open it will be full of blank pages. There will be minis released they will all be finecast. GW to fix falling sales of WD will put in the next 275 issues one page of the codex in sticker form. the stickers will be hard to get out of the magazine and you will offten have to buy multi coppies to get just one complete sticker. Except for 50 or so pages of the heavies released by FW mail order only.

The codex will be hard cover and cost 75$ us. When you open it will be full of blank pages. There will be minis released they will all be finecast. GW to fix falling sales of WD will put in the next 275 issues one page of the codex in sticker form. the stickers will be hard to get out of the magazine and you will offten have to buy multi coppies to get just one complete sticker. Except for 50 or so pages of the heavies released by FW mail order only.

See I posted that as a joke then sent it to my friends and they all said it was believable. It made me sorta sad.

I forgot to mention the limited edition nature of each part. GW will only send 3 coppies of each WD to your local game store. 2 of those will be posted on ebay immediately.

GW are adding adverts to the new codex in order to raise as much money as possible for the next marine codex.
Jain Zar : Selling shampoo. Because she's worth it.
Eldrad : Carlsberg. Because carlsberg don't make farseers, but if they did...
Farseers : Tic Tacs. Only 1 calorie, not Eldrad enough

I'll stop now...

New unit: Infinity Guard
They will have an Infinity-blaster which shoots Infinity bullets.
Infinity carapace armor.
Dedicated transport will be the all new finecast Infinity Scythe, with sponson mounted Infinity arrays.

I can't believe nobody has posted these yet!!! Super new pictures of the BRAND NEW SCULPTS! These greens look AMAZEBALLS!!

123 - Codex Eldar will be the first new release funded entirely by a kickstarter

124 - Special edition Eldar Codex will feature 3 additional units and points costs 5% lower than the normal one.

125 - "Production problems" will keep many private stores from getting the eldar for weeks. GW stores will be fully stocked.

126 - The Phoenix Lords (and Lady) will be fully resculpted! Now with heads 3x larger than their bodies!

Wraithlords riding Wraithlords.

Codex Eldar is the first one released after the price adjustment 1st June.
The Codex will cost 50€ / 60 US$ / 100 AUS$ . This is good news!
Also, due to overwhelming demand, we are only able to guarantee 2 Codices per store on release day.
People also complained about the price difference between DE and DA flyers. We heard you! The slightly modified Eldar flyer will be 60€ / 75 US$ / 200 AUS$ .

134 - The ebook version of the Eldar Codex will have a new pricing structure. Rather than 'buy' it users will be billed at $1/minute while reading it.

135-the backstory of the elder will all be recanted. Instead they will be failed experiements of the Big E sent back in time accidently (his trash can looked just like the teleporter)

Their armour will go from being made of baking paper to much more robust tinfoil. Also, blue oyster cult will finally reveal that "veteran of the psychic wars" was really about the eldar all along.
Oh and the battleforce will get even more sparse, with only 3 guardians, half a heavy weapons platform and two jetbikes but no riders. It will also be brought into line wigh current gw pricing, and cost eight hundred dollars.

Well, since the current Eldar codex is vastly incompatible with the 6th ed rules, GW will postpone the release of the new Eldar codex and will consider a new release after the 7th ed.

Eldar will see the proud launch of the Ancient Secrets Mystery Box packaging! Each box will contain a randomly selected sprue from a kit. Might you be the one fortunate enough to get a Fire Prism turret or a complete plastic Farseer? Or will you get more guardians? EXCITEMENT ABOUNDS.

Aspect Guardians!

Straight from retcon 101. A unit of guardians may be upgraded to represent an Aspect of Eldar mythos. The aspect represented will be chosen at random from the aspect upgrade table. This will happen after armies are selected but before deployment.

The Eldar player will pay for use of the table, then for whatever upgrade they get.

New rumoured army USRs:
Lying xenos scum. At the end of the game if you were caught cheating at lest three times, you gain a victory point.
Superiority is not a choice. At the end of the game you loose a victory point for each round you didn't articulate how Eldar are better than the other army.
You don't understand anything Mon'Keigh. If you loose to IoM player you may proclaim that our dirty xeno magic was defending the world from Chaos / Tyranid / Necron invasion. Immediately create an army twice the original army size from one of the mentioned factions. If the IoM player can't table the army in 5 turns with his remaining forces, you both count as loosers.

Eldrad Special Ability:
Strings of Fate: Eldrad is the wisest of all Farseers. He can predict the future. Roll a D6. On 1-2 the outcome of the game is open and you have to play normally. On 3-4 your opponent would win, so grab your army and go. On a 5-6, you will win, so take all VP and go home with a smile.

New background: The Eldar are a dying race because all females were killed during the fall. Some males wear female cloths to show their mourning (people looking at GW Eldar miniatures have suspected this already).

The Eldar will finally get an Imperator Titan equivalent after years of being stuck with "reaver wannabes".

144 - The true reason for the decline and fall of the Eldar is finally reviled! Y'see the White Eldar with their robes and pointy hats oppressed the Dark Eldar, making them ride in the back of the Falcon and eat nectar at seperate lunch counters. So the Dark Eldar vowed to oppose them by any means necessary.

145 - In keeping with GWs churn philosophy where great units become worthless and worthless units great, Howling Banshees will lose their power weapons and Striking Scorpions will go down to S3. However Shinning Spears will now have 6 attacks on the charge and Storm Guardians may now take 6 flamers per squad.

146 - The true reason for the decline and fall of the Eldar is finally reviled! A bubble in housing prices caused by lending to people with weak credit!

147 - The secret of the Wraith Guard is finally reviled! Forget all that balderdash about spirit stones, those puppies are piloted by squats!

You forgot to mention that Fire Dragons are going to be BS1.

But the craftworlds are TOO BIG to fail!

Falcons will inexplicably count as open topped.
Wraithguard will triple in points cost, and be only be found in specially marked packets of breakfast cereal.
Aspect warriors will go from being fleet to slow and purposeful.

The secret of the Eldar's demise will finally be revealed: they pulled the tag off a mattress

Harlequins will now have a new type of gun. It shoots flowers, models hit are removed from play as they feel shamed by getting rickrolled by clowns. Similarly, their melee attacks also remove from play. They also have a 3+ invuln save that is rerollable if the Harlequin is painted in at least 10 different colors.

Eldrad gets a new sculpt, the highlight of which is a massive codpiece to carry his, well, you know.

The new Eldar Flyer is amazing, it has 4 twin-linked bright lances and 2 twin-linked scatter lasers. Its also the very first vehicle kit made completely of finecast.

Also set to look like an...erm... p***s. (Not a Joke)

Also Monoliths are revealed to have hidden webway portals, Wraith-Constructs are now the main soldiery, Craftworlds praise slaanesh, and Mat Ward writes the codex, making the Phoenix Lords have 10's across the board.

On the Nightwang, you find engraved Eldar runes. If you translate them they read:
"Help, I am a sculptor held hostage at Games Workshop in Nottingham."

The codex also has runes that state that Tom Kirby is holding the gods of GW hostage...
