Confirmed, ALL units (not just infantry). Grav Tank spam is definitely viable, I am guessing the Alaitoc trait would suit you best but a case could be made for both Ulthwe and Iyanden.

Whoa whoa whoa, steady now. There is only so much arousal my trousers can withstand.
Though it might just be a datasheet that gives warlock, farseer and spiritseer statlines, and says you can choose one of the above.
However... it might be a repair character, something Eldar don't have any of (and I think are unique in not having any repairer characters). Fluffy too. I was already going to buy a couple, but now I am even more excited for it!
Edit:
Does seem very odd that they have now made Ynnari a bad choice. Even if you mix your lists, you can still legally take Harlequins (for example) with your Craftworld Eldar, in a separate detachment. You're probably better off with say, -1 to hit from Alaitoc for your Craftworld detachment, and keeping Battle Focus and Rising Crescendo as your other traits for craftworld and harlequins respectively.
Soulburst and Strength from Death no longer seem powerful enough to compete. At least until Ynnari get their own codex (which is HIGHLY unlikely).

I dunno, you can play Craftworld traits and just put an Ynnari Warlord in a separate Patrol detachment. They may not get the trait but the rest of your army does and you still get to replace the rather lacklustre Battle Focus with Strength From Death!
I think they have done a good job of making Craftworlds good again, for a while, Ynnari was all anyone was playing. Now both are viable.

Ynnari are still probably the best bet for Wraithguard. Perfectly reasonable to run them with yvraine and a spirit seer in their own detachment. And given that they were previously quite good, and have only gotten better, you'll probably do just fine with them.

Or they could had merged some entries like Crimson hunters or Nightspinner and Fireprism, wich is just same tank with different main gun and some other options. Guess will need to wait and see.
If it's something as basic as Wraith units within 6" can regain 1 wound on a roll per phase or *revive* a fallen construct i wil be very pleased with it.

Me I want the Codex, BoneSinger and that starter box set.
Codex on the ipad.
While we wait is there anyone in here that knows or can point me to a list of Eldar books/Novels.
Finishing up my first WH40K novel, the Sisters of Battle omnibus and would like to start the Eldar ones.
Just cant seem to find a list of them and in what order they should be read.
Thanks!

Rerolling 1's increases damage output by about 1/6 (on a unit that can quite easily get an 83% or 97% chance to hit), I really don't get why people think this is bad.

On it! I accidentally got a box of the snapfit Guardians, gonna paint them up that way. I love Dire Avengers(my favorite aspect by far), having an entire army composed of them effectively would be awesome. If I build onto the army more (the new Start Collecting looks awesome!), I might do just that.
