Hey just started an eldar army and was wondering if the craftworld lists and the ulthwe strike force list are still legal for the eldar?

GW never kindly tells us which codices/army lists are 'retired' and no longer in use, but what they do is to stop printing the codex (which happened to both of these lists), they don't offer the list online as a PDF, and they don't allow those armies at their GTs.

The trifecta of those three things lets you know that those army lists are no longer "officially" valid.

But again, that's from experience and conjecture rather than any official statement from GW.

The short answer is: No, neither of those lists are still legal.

Agreed, but at least the new codex allows you to get somewhere close to most craftworld armies in look and feel, even if some of the special rules are gone. Not saying it is a good thing, just an "at least".
