anyway, shadows affects eldred, roll 2d6 for runes of witnessing vs shadows

Unless he's inside of vehicle according to the FAQ. (So, so incredibly lame by the way. Makes Shadows of the Warp pretty worthless in a lot of cases)

But what powers can you use in a vehicle? Did I miss it in the faq or rules?

Nid FAQ

Q: Does Shadow in the Warp affect psykers who are
taking a Psychic test whilst embarked within a
transport vehicle?
A: No.

Eldrad can use doom or guide while inside (Or at least that's how it's been played against me)

Intresting. Iv always been told you cannot use psyker powers from tanks. Maybe if there's a firing spot on it, which eldar don't anyway. I'm actually confused now

agreed. The only case I see SitW being nice to us is because of the lack of eternal warrior, force weapons (which until grey knights came out were completely un-thought of) become far less scary.

Q: Can a model use a psychic power that is not a Psychic
Shooting Attack if it is embarked in a transport vehicle? (p50)
A: Yes. If the power requires line of sight, this is still
worked out from the vehicleʼs fire points (this will count as
one model shooting through that fire point if the power is
used in the Shooting phase).
If the psychic power does not require line of sight and has
a range or an area of effect that is normally measured
from the model using it, these are measured from the
vehicleʼs hull, as explained in the Embarking section on
page 66.

Yeah, Grey Knights are kinda less scary now that I think about it. Considering everyone in that army and their families are all psykers.

Hot damn! I missed that one in the faq. Thanx for that. Makes my eldar so much more fun.

Where does it say shadows doesn't affect you in a vehicle in the codex, because this came up and we couldn't find where it was stated so i was affected by it in my WS. Are these FAQs only online? If so can you just print them off and use them in the game? Sorry for sounding clueless but iv'e not been playing all that long and still getting to grips with some of the more in-depth rules.

they run on adobe reader for me offa the gw website. just search for faq and print em out.

3)Be aware of Shadow in the Warp!!!! Nothing can ruin a good Eldar build worse then not being prepared
for Shadow in the Warp, and having your psykers blow their own brains out.

Give the Farseer the runes of witnessing - they cancel SitW as stated in the Eldar FAQs

Rulebook FAQ

Since Eldar tanks don't have firing points, what does that leave them able to cast? What ranged powers don't need LoS?

Mindwar needs LoS, the other ones not.

No eldar psychic powers require LoS...

wisdomseyes1 wrote:No eldar psychic powers require LoS...

except mind war. it specifies in the codex under farseer and warlock abilities that non of their powers need los unless stated otherwise, which mindwar does.

Mind War is my last choice anyway, doom and fortune everything.
