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.

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!

Ah perfection... I could just look at those models all day. So graceful and elegant!

The fall of the Eldar was actually Manbearpig. Half man, half bear, half pig.

The eldar farseers can choose at any point to abort the battle and call it a "moral victory", which does entitle bragging rights.

Representing the fact that the farseers know and have predicted everything that will ever happen ever.

Farseers will be Mastery 1.

Shuriken Catapults will be R 12" S3 AP 5 Assault 2.

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

The Avatar of Khaine
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
10 5 6 6 4 6 4 10 3+

Unit Composition: 1 Avatar.
Unit Type: The Wailing Doomed.

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.

114: Eldrad removes his helmet in the next codex. "Surprise! I'm a Tau!"

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.

118. The Monstrous Creature will be a Mega Wraith Lord Avatar. A Wraith Lord that becomes an Avatar.

Fix'd

Making a super mega ultra Wraithtar.

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!
