Wanting to Build a craft world army with a Yncarne detachment

I have read both the rule book and the new Aeldari codex multiple times. If I was to build a far flung craft world army and add the Yncarne as a solo support detachment. Do I lose battle forged if I do? And do I lose the craft world rule. In the Yncarne keywords it says Aeldari and Asuryani and has the strands of fate rule. I would expect to lose the specific Ynnari rules but would like to keep both strands and far flung craft world. Someone mentioned that the Yncarne is similar to Guilliman and as a special character who doesn’t break battle forged but I can not find the FAQ.

Would love to get some feed back. If I can run this would hope to take it to a tournament.

Thanks for all the help

All the detachments are Ausyrani so a legal Battleforged Army. However, since they are not drawn from the same craftworld, you do not get Strands of Fate.

That’s to bad, even though it would be a fun army to play, loosing strands of fate i think is too much of a loss. I assume I would lose craft world bonus as well.

Thanks

No. As long as each detachment was pure, it would gain the Craftworld Attributes (SHAD excluded).

Thanks again. I hope they think about changing it. There is no real reason to use a Ynnari army in competitive play as they are so much worse than craftworld or harlequins. I think I’ll just drop the Yncarne for tournament play and fill with Baharroth like everyone else. Even if you use a Ynnari army you can’t add Quins or drukhari cause you also lose strands.

I hate seeing the same cookie cutter lists in each army. The Ynnari should of been a way to diversify but it just makes it all worse

Actually, the FAQ clarifies that you still get Strands of Fate with a Ynnari force even if you include Drukhari and/or Harliquin units.

Well that changes things quit a lot. What FAQ’s was that from so I can take it with me if people question.

Edit: I found the facts. Thanks again. This is great back to Ynnari army for me.
