Genestealer Cult
Week1: Hybrids
Week2: Limo, Codex
Week3: Clampack Patriarch, Magus and Broodlord re-release
Genestealers included in dex.

if only this could be true :( Even if I cannot believe it I assure you I would buy every single box. Pre-order.

More from Mr Maloke on Warseer:

"windriders: same pts as before.
3 windriders

statline unchanged.

may include up to 7 additional windriders for same points as before
may take a windriderwarlock for same points as before pts
warlock may replace his hagun zar for a runespear for the same points as before
each windrider may exchange the TL shuriken catapult for:
scatter laser or
shuriken cannon, both same points. shuriken cannon as before.

that means you can basically have a 10 man unit entirely kitted with scatterlasers for 27ppm and add another warlock to them

they also are still troop selections. i think the meta shifts again.

the only other interresting things are those leaked 2 datacards and the 1 leaked psychic power in the WD:

runes of battle 1
destroy/renew
warpcharge 1

its either:
S5 ap 4 assault1, soulblaze flamer
or:
a friendly unit within 18" restores a single wound. this cannot bring units back to the board that have been removed as casuality.

and for the datacards:

11:
1 victory point if you kill a character (not just in a challenge, just a character)
12:
gain a victory point if a enemy unit got killed by a eldar unit with the skimmer or eldar jetbike type. gain d3 vitory points if you killed 3 or more in one round. "

Man, that Limited Edition is really slick looking.

The Iyanden supplement was also taken down from the Webstore, so maybe this is replacing that as well? I guess if there are ways to build all the different craftworlds that would make sense.

**Capamaru**

Those jetbikes look so magnet friendly on the gun mount

. On the other hand I have the feeling I have seen them like 5 years ago

but not painted.I don't like the farseer / warlock on bike. Through the so many years without a model I have seen brilliant conversions and even third party models that are so much better than this.

**Requizen**

Another rumor put Wraithknight at Gargantuan MC and maybe MC. If it's truly getting a Strength D gun, I'm not surprised. Would be painful for those who have multiple of them though.

**Nvs**

Anyone want to rehost the images off 4chan? Can't get there from work and I'm dying here!

**Orrus**

Thank you for the images.

A small part of me is comparing the wording on the Harlequins book cover to this and thinking.... It is a supplement! (I know you all say otherwise and I am most likely, wrong). Also the lack of fusion pistol and scatter laser jetbikes in the current dex pretty much confirms this.

**FTGTEvan**

It's not a supplement - it's just the new branding - check the Blood Angels Dex - it's Codex Adeptus Astartes Blood Angels.

**Bharring**

For SL and SC to both be 10 points, something must have changed. Perhaps Heavy3 SL or Assault4 SC?

(removing Laser Lock from SL would have no effect on Jetbikes, so shouldn't be relevant..)

Thanks for the leaks!

I can see it being more of a reboot type thing, I'd imagine the next DE book will be Codex:Eldar Commoragh or something, similar to how Blood Angels are codex Adeptus Astartes blood angels

Also, the current book (and supplement) being taken down means this is clearly a replacement. Wonder how long it'll take for people to stop trying to use them though.

**TheDraconicLord**

Yeah, I'm quite happy I don't play Eldar, but that Codex and that Autarch... sooner or later, added to the collection they will.

**evildrcheese**

I don't play Eldar, and it's just as well as that Spec Ed version looks amazing. If the BA spec ed had looked half that good I would've grabbed one.

Stupid space elves getting the beautiful book...

D

**Tyranid Horde**

I have to say, I really love the pose the Autarch has and his helmet is absolutely brilliant looking! I won't be buying any of this apart from the codex, I have pretty much all the jetbikes and converted jetseers I'll ever need.
Bit disappointed that laser lock is gone though...

EDIT: I take it back, may need moar bikes simply because of all the spare scatter lasers I have

**Nevelon**

I liked the laser lock for my falcons. Made them a nice TAC unit. Plus scatter lasers were the gun that came with the kit. We’ll see what changed, but I might be swapping them out for brightlances.

Yay magnets!

**xttz**

Now that Wraithknights are proper GCs instead of oversized Wraithlords, I might finally build the one I've had still on the sprues since 2013.

**TheNewBlood**

At long last! The hideous 2nd Edition Windriders shall be no more!

I'm liking the rumors about the "Decurion-Style" detachment so far. I just hope that Biel-Tan gets some love. Guardians unlocking Aspect Warriors?
Hopefully the detachment bonuses will be good too, but not Decurion good. Maybe Battle Focus as a detachment bonus?

The size of the book sounds good too. 160 pages of the excellent lore plus individual Craftworld tactics would be amazing. I'll definitely be pre-ordering the limited edition.

**Sir Arun**

Its a shame for real...even though the swooping hawk wings Autarch looks great as a unit he is just terribad compared to the Jetbike Autarch with lance or even the warpspider autarch.

**Orlanth**

Will I require Codex Eldar to use Codex Eldar Craftworlds, or will everything needed be included?

I didn't like the redesign jetbikes shown a couple of years ago, but these models look fine. I like how the shape of the original jetbike was preserved.

Do we yet know what heavy weapon options are included?

**WrentheFaceless**

This codex is pretty much Codex:Eldar

**jbelgian**

Definitely a scatter laser on a jetbike!

So now we have new jetbikes, what's going to happen to shining spears rumour?

Is it still going to be the same compatible resin upgrade pack or are they getting something new/in the box?

I wouldn't say no if they too got the special weapons treatment.

Spears with an anti-tank weapon like the reavers might be nice....

**greggles**

Ranged D weapons are forbidden at the local tournaments where I play, but I actually wanted to use the Sword + Shield variant. Now that the sword is rumoured to be Strength D... well, time to piss your pants, Imperial Knights.

I believe the ITC just voted to ban ranged D as well. Guess we'll see a lot more CC variants now!

**monders**

Eff Gee Dubs and their two year book cycle. Eff them up their stupid Ash holes.

But the jet bikes look sweeeeet.

**Orlanth**

I have 20 of the old jetbikes, scatter lasers sounds interesting as an option. Bright lances or star cannon would be very interesting, especially if the heavy weapon ratio remains at 1:3.

**Shamanlord1961**

Is a GMC limited to just 2 weapons like a MC? Wriathknight might get even cooler because they can have the 2 additional weapons.

**Redemption**

No, it can fire each weapon. At a different target even, if desired.

**Shamanlord1961**

Wow, throw on a couple lances and your WK gets even more useful. Makes you wonder how many points they are going up.

**Pdogg614**

Im sure they will keep the options in the box only, so i will prob just throw on 2 scatter lasers. 8 S:6 shots at a different target than the 2 S

heavy wraithcannons will be nice.

**buckero0**

So is this craftworld dex replacing the 6th edition codex? Are we sure on that? I'm just trying to clarify.

100% yes
