Hi!!!

I nedd all the information about this eldar machines:
Eldar Executioner class Ghost Warrior
Eldar assassin class ghost warriors

everything!!:rules,background(Vital for me!!),images and pintures.I'm makin an article for a fanzine

thansk!!!

Ever given thought to actual researching the stuff yourself? you know, the thing we call the internet rather than asking everyone to do the work for you?

Either way, good luck with the fanzine

EDIT: Wikepdia (<--might be wrong spelling) and the search function built into dakka could have some data within worth searching for

They were person sized constructs. So they looked like ickle dreadnaughts (as they were then) one had chainfists and the other one had power fist thingies. Like other eldar dreadnaughts at the time they had force fields as well. Detailed before WD100.

These days their place has generally been taken by wriathguard. The idea of mixing in the odd wraithguard with two cc attacks, just to render them less vulnerable to assualt does have a lot of appeal.

They were also made from a special form of wraithbone called stelthene. No artificial senses could detect them (targeters, SM auto senses, auto-aim ). Essentially only the bald shouty marines could see them, and that was based off one of their stats and a die roll.

Stelthene is a plastic compound that is invisible to most sensors, and is combined with an internal energy shielding to make it almost impossible for a Ghost warrior to be 'seen' by anything other than ordinary eye-sight (and tendril sensors). (now you know why we have bald, shouty helmetless marines). Marine helmets contain "auto senses" which couldn't see these babies.

They were treated as personalities (IC), could never be part of a unit, and could never assume command of friendly units.
They were fearless.
A Ghost warrior could only be spotted by an enemy unit that moved within its initiative characteristic in inches. In addition, auto-aim (machine spirit) cannot see stelthene and any weapon operated by such a system could not attack a Ghost Warrior unless the GW fired a weapon in the preceding turn.
GWs carried 3 basic and/or cc weapons, one in each arm and one in the head. Basic weapons were shuriken catapults, flamers.
They were immune to poison, gas or radiation (a big thing back then).
They had 5s in the first 4 stats of their profile so were comparable to wraithguard, with a worse save, but were harder to hit in the first place.
0-3 could be included in any force containing eldar troops

They cost more than 6 marines (each).
Two basic models were the "executioner" class (chainfist, powerfist and flamer) PLUS cameleoline (extra stealthy - iirc, this was a -ve mod to-hit, instead of a +ve to over save) and cost almost 8 SM at current pricing.
Assassin class GW had 2x powerfists+xhuriken catapult, also cameleoline and teleport homer and was essentially the price of a SM squad (with free specials/heavy).

All points costs back then were approximately 3x what they are now.

Here is a Picture. Enjoy.

Hellsguardian316, you are completely out of line.

I just let go of four of those babies plus some cash for 2 hammerheads and a Barracuda.
