Hi all!

So the supplement comes out tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. A fair few aren't. Either way, I've gone through the Eldar rules and was wondering what people thought. Both fliers have Vector Dancer, allowing an additional turn at the end of the move phase. Then there's the new Break Turn you roll on your Agility to complete this 'second 90 degree turn'. What's the consensus here? Do Eldar get 2 or 3 90 degree turns?

Up to 3.

Brake Turn allows you to make a "second" turn, Vector Dancer allows you to make an "additional" turn. So yes, you can combine them like this:

Turn
Move
Brake Turn
Vector Dancer Turn

**Goobi2**

Ooooor:

Turn
Move
Break
Move more
Vector Turn!

Some real mobility options in there!

**Naw**

For an additional cost of nothing we just made your fliers even more better!

Great! I'm strongly considering to get one more Crimson Hunter to make up a Shroud of Kurnous for my Ulthwe Warhost, but then I'll need to come up with something else for my auxiliary choice.

Think the Shroud of Kurnous would be too much in 1,850pts?

It shouldn't be much more expensive than the 3x Crimson hunter formation. And tbh most of the benefits of Shroud of kurnous seems to favour psychic defense for the flyers more than gamechanging rules.
