Kingheff - Aeldari (and Ynnari) are not valid faction keywords for detatchments. So you can't actually do that.

That said, the most recent FAQ did give a way to run them with a CWE HQ. And the one before that gave them their Transports back.

That said, they're easily the most-boned army in 8th. Even more than GK. But some good points have been raised about why other factions were more boned in previous editions...

Really? How do they act differently from a unit of dire avengers in a ynarri army for example?

YOu can no longer take a Ynnari detatchement and add Dire Avengers.

You must make a valid Detatchment using another keyword - Drukhari, Asuryani, etc, but not Aeldari. If your Warlord will be Ynnari, you may add a Ynnari special character to that list.

So you can't have a Dire Avenger in a Detatchment with a Kab or Harlequin or Corsair.

Ah, thanks for the info. Knowing I can put them in my craftworlds army is great news. I had no interest in playing ynarri anyway.

It's not quite as simple as 'take them as Troops choices' for CWE. It's something along the lines of you an take a CWE HQ (I think just the Autarch) in a Corsairs detatchment.

Because Outcasts aren't Craftworlders, except for when they are (Rangers).

So three units of Reaver's, an autarch and yvraine is a legal corsairs battalion?

Reavers as in DE Reavers or Reaver Band?

You can not have a Ynnari only faction detachment as Ynnari isnt part of the battle brothers legal keywrod for battleforge detachment. You need DE to be with a DE HQ, CWE to be with a CWE HQ

Also Corsairs are not mentioned in with Ynnari "allowed to join"

"‘If your army is Battle-forged and the Warlord of your
army is either Yvraine, the Visarch or the Yncarne then
you can include any of these models in any Craftworlds,
Harlequins or Drukhari Detachment"
.........
"The Detachment is still considered to be a Craftworlds,
Harlequins or Drukhari Detachment, and so can use
Craftworlds, Harlequins or Drukhari Stratagems,
Warlord Traits and Relics respectively"

Sorry, I meant reaver band. Looking at it overall I'm not sure if it's worth doing my models as corsairs. With the reduction of storm guardians I may just paint my old models in my craftworlds colour scheme.

Yeah, thats a better option IMO (at least for now).

Actually, I might just paint them as pirates but run them as guardians. In my head cannon they can be corsair mercenaries at least.

Legion of the Damned, 7th Edition

They lost the game on turn one, because they didn't have models on the field.

When a friend who had just started playing figured this out our gaming group was like “yeeeeah GW, and rules ? Sometimes not so much!”

He quit after 8th dropped.
