I like that. That can be a brutal combination with the Knights stomp ability.

Some interesting tidbits in there. I hate that they're just doing a "Hey, if you've got money for this one week only, you'll be lucky, screw the rest of you guys" thing with the models, but oh well.

I will absolutely be ordering that Bonesinger, maybe the old school farseer too.

The Bonesinger is coming back via Made to order! I've wanted it for a while as I sold my original. Ebay prices for it are crazy high.

Five craftworld choices. Just five. Really?

Dozens of listed worlds, plus exodites and corsairs. Five.

Why?

Thats a cool looking relic for Iyanden, Wraithblades with 6 attacks each on the charge sound nasty, and I run a squad of 10.

Defintiely getting the Bonesinger as well, can't work out which dice I want though.

Why would you expect others?

Iyanden
Alaitoc
Ulthwe
Saim-Hann
Biel-Tan

anything else would be highly unexpected.

Agreed, but hopefully this means they'll be unique and powerful and not just slightly modified copy-paste jobs from the SM chapters.

They might extend it a bit. They usually do based on demand.

Bonesinger? Bonesinger!

Yeh, that seems to cover all the ones that are usually mentioned in the 'mainstream' codex entries. Sure there are several more that have brief mentions in fluff, but nothing that made it seem like GW would add rules for them.

The only exceptions to this would be Corsairs and Exodites, but Corsairs are currently a forgeworld release and so they would be the ones to release more rules for them. Exodites have no models in either GW or FW, so they wouldn't release rules for them in an edition where they're trying to tidy up datasheets with options that they don't sell models for.

They removed the options for IG sergeants to take axes, because there are no axes in the infantry box. Why would they then release rules for elves riding dinosaurs?

Saying that, it would be damn good if they did. Especially if they then pointed you at the Age of Sigmar model line for options on how to field an exodite army. The big tree men would make good wraithlords I think, and the saurian dinosaurs with a change in riders would make good jetbikers.

I remember the model, but I don't remember the rules... what did the bonesinger do on the table?

I don't even play Eldar and will probably get some of those made to order. Nice choices to bring back.

Defintiely getting the Bonesinger as well, can't work out which dice I want though.

It also bring a noticeable new wording for units.

Right now Wraith units fall into the Spirit Host keyword, the Wraith construct it's a whole new one so we can't be 100% sure wich units will affect.



Also worth to notice the Triumvirate of Ynnead will come with a new repackage and full rules inside, so maybe no adding them to Dark Eldar or harlequins future codex?

Don't we have rumours that exodites might get their own codex and range at some point?
I'm excited to see what the craftworlds can do, be a shame if there are no models to go with this release but the made to order stuff is nice and hopefully metal.

Defo getting the bonesinger. Just painted up a rouge Trader Farseer yesterday coincidentally.

Wish they’d done Craftworld dice rather than aspects, but they still look cool. May get some Dire Avengers dice.

Right? If doing dice, the 5 Craftworlds would have been great.

Haha, I just wrote about this same thing in the Eldar tactica thread. 'Wraith' just refers to the wraithbone that Eldar use to build things, so a "Wraith Construct" could technically be anything made from the wraithbone... so Guard and Lords and Knights, sure. But also Grav Tanks, War Walkers, Jetbikes. Most of these wouldn't get a huge boost from bonus attacks, but perhaps there will be a different rule/ability that doubles the number of -shots- for a turn, instead of the number of attacks.

If it was meant for the dead guys only, then they could have just used <spirit host>, which is already unique to the wraithguard/lord/knight.

However, this rule is for Iyanden only, which would imply it's designed specifically for the walking dead... so yeh, intriguing.

Much like many others, I may just order that Bonesinger to paint up. Probably in Iyanden colors.

Rules? It had no rules, it was just a cool model. You can probably play it as a Spiritseer.

Oh those dice... I'll never get why they keep making thematic dice. Looking neat is no excuse, keeping the game flowing is paramount. They're never readable enough to be acceptable for play, and some look quite suspect from a fairness standpoint as well (looking at you, death guard dice!).

Or for true anal geekery, Aspect d6's, with the numbers being the order of their founding, so 1 is Dire Avengers (also the simplest rune), 2 would be Banshees and so on through the 'classic 6' (sorry, Spiders).

Edit: though I acknowledge it wouldn't be good to want to NOT see the symbol of my Avengers when they shoot!

Yeah no Triumvirate of Ynnead and Ynnari rules in the Craftworld Codex probably means they wont be in the DE or Harlie's books either. Hopefully this is because there's a stand alone Ynnari book in the pipeline and not that there rules are going web or Triumvirate box exclusive.

Edit- Had a tidy up a few weeks back and found two boxes of Wraithguard and thought the new dex and SC was a sign to finally try out a yellow army. But thinking about the Ynnari has me tempted by there crimson and black

Lol the facebook comments thread is full of people asking about plastic Aspect Warriors.
And GW replying to them with 'we hear you, honest...'.

I got the feeling the Ynnari rules are ONLY going to be in the Triumvirate of Ynnead. As in they won't be anywhere else (Craftworlds codex included).

From what I can see, the rules will be included in the box from now on, but those rules are the same as the ones in the index. They won't be in the craftworld codex, and they won't get a codex of their own.

There is a small chance that they may be put in the harlequins codex, if harlequins get a codex of their own, if only to fill in some page space. That won't be until late next year though I expect, if they even get one.

From the tone of the Community teams answers, they don’t seem 100% sure that Ynnari will be getting a Codex at all.

I'm for sure getting that bonesinger, I'd get the RT farseer but I got one a month ago. I had already planned on getting the fancy codex but I wasn't prepared for all those dice. I think most are to bright for me besides the reapers and banshee dice since I'm going to be making an Altansar army, which is why if Altansar has no special rules I'll just go with whatever suits a warrior heavy craftworld.

remember when 8th dropped, Ynnari were a separate faction on GWs website. I think we will see a codex for them, along with plastic aspects/warriors.

Good for Knights I suppose.

Custodes / Sisters of Silence are also their own faction on GWs website and just got a booklet in the box.

Ynnari might well be the same.

That would be quite a kick in the teeth for people buying the Triumvirate and expecting to play them as a real army. No Stratagems, no warlord traits and no relics in exchange for SfD and mixing units from Aeldari? Sorry but that won't cut It in 8th.
So much for the new faction of Eldar

I hope it's just a placeholder
