You are not alone... I've pretty much drained my phone's battery looking over all these goodies..

So the Wraithcannons are just S10 AP1 shots? No blast? :<

I'm pretty new to the wargaming and this is the first time I've been anticipating a new codex. I'm very impressed with people's willingness to inform their fellow Eldar players of every tidbit they can find.

Anything on Eldrad having all of the powers...?

Iranna.

Still curious if Scorpions are going to get Hammer of Wrath....?

Any changes to FOC slotting at all or did the Wright Knight make the already packed Heavy Slot even more packed?


Wraith Knight
Warwalkers
Reapers
Wraith Lord
Artillery Batteries
Falcon
Fire Prism
Night Spinner


In likely pecking order.

For the most part, the Dakkites are a good bunch of people.

Is there any confirmation about psyker powers?

What powers are primaris and what costs what.

Still don't see how any of the CC aspects will be of any use which is strange if their strategy is to sell those models.. Wave serpents being tougher is all well and good but without assault vehicles you still can't assault until turn 3..

Did Deathspinners change at all, or are Warp Spiders just objectively worse?

S10 and AP1 is not good enough ? ........

Unfortunately yes but when is there ever a perfect forum? Just from what I've seen in this thread this is quite a nice place.

I'm expecting that to happen once the new Space Viking codex drops.

Are the D-Scythes and Heavy D-Scythes AP5 or AP2? Seems like there are conflicting rumors, but I can't imagine anyone going gaga over regular flamer stats on Wraithguards.

I thought they were instant death on a wound roll of 6? That's still pretty sexy.

Y FOR YOU NEED VEHEECLES? WE GIVES YOU WRAITH WITH YOUR WRAITH SO YOU CAN WRAITH WHILE YOU WRAITH.


Seriously though, I see nothing on the vehicles side of the house that makes them better due to the simple fact that melee will still tear them apart and to deliver your load you are getting in range. They are selling you piles of wraith and repackage jetbikes. This is what they expect you to use/buy.

Correct! I really hope they is a way to fix the serpant cause then it all about wraith for the next 6 or so years...

while I'm sure many competitive Eldar players are thrilled, making everything BS4 kinda rubs me the wrong way. Not because I think it'll be "zomgwtfbroken", but it really does reinforce the skewing of the statline, that anything with a "3" is "below average" instead of being...actually average, where 4 is the expected instead of the exceptional, and in a D6 system that's a rather big thing, and takes away from the specialness that being an Aspect Warrior, die hard veteran, or Space Marine is intended to portray.

I actually agree. Twin linking everything was a very easy fix to make Eldar weapons accurate but still not BS4 base. Having the same BS on Dark Reapers and Guardians?
I'd be much happier with guardians being BS3 and longer range catapults. Just give BS4 to platform operators if you really have to.

While I agree, that cat is already way out of the bag. Rune Priests and DA Librarians have been twin-linking BS 4 marines for ages now, with even greater gains than what most Eldar units could achieve (Twin-linking every plasma weapon in your army? Bye bye, Get Hot! rule!). I think they saw this as a way to free up Eldar warp charges for other powers instead of just making you cast the same way every turn: Fortune here, Guide there, next turn it'll also be Fortune here and Guide there or my army won't work.

Still no word on the Autarch...

I would like to see the ability to give USR to friendlies and take them away from enemies such as Nemesor's power.

I run a pretty heavy guardian/ DA list and while I am surprised to see the increase WS I'll take it...along with the Shuri upgrades and Battle Focus/ Trance(?) Objective takers and holders baby!!

Maybe the Eldar are so close to extinction even the bakers and potters had to start going to weapons school a couple more times a week.

I think that's the problem with rulebook powers, not any particular codex.
Guide+ should not be so easily available to most armies, at least not as a primaris power.

As for guide and BS:
BS changed on vehicles (that used to have twin-linked weapons so were not targeted by guide) and guardians. Supposedly. If that is true, there's not going to be almost any change in usage of this power. Especially with all the cinematic tables.

I found a guy who has the codex and is posting all the rules, dunno if I can mention where?

4Chan thread has a guy named Raziel going through the book. Lots of interesting stuff. Some sucks, some really good.

what the guy above said.

Ahh so I see its just the imperium that doesn't have to pay a high premium for anti air. Tell me again why missle launchers in Kelly books can't come standard with flakk?

Anyone have a link to the 4chan guy?

With the Wraithknight's Wraithcannon being 36" S10 AP1 with the Wraithcannon stuff (auto pens/ID on 6s), I'm not so sure how powerful these guys will be.

I was really hoping for two D-cannons (from the Warp Hunter).

what the 4chan guy is posting is legit.
so far he has posted every unit save striking scorpions and banshees

up next he is doing gear, psychic powers and then special characters..

HIS CREDENTIALS - he leaked daemons, csm, and tau....


THE AVATAR IS A BEAST!!!
