I was fine with the nerf till i read a lot of somments that says it is worded that i cant I play Yncarne with my solitaire anymore (I dont care about the Ynnari nerf, i just wanted Yncarne in my Harlequins with the Solitaire). SO feth GW if that is true.

That just means more IG + IK in tourneys. Fun for days.
Ynnari were irritating to play against, that nerf was long overdue. Now we wait for the IG and Castellan nerf in the FAQ.
I think the difference is that over the past year we have seen nerfs to Ynnari even though were gradual up until now. IG + Castellan, however, have been allowed to be in peace for the most part.
I guess the Big FAQ will tell, although I believe we won't see that much nerfing in it as many assume. At best I believe we'll see some beta rules or suggestions to level the playing field more than anything else.
For the record I've played Ynnari myself three times since they were originally released so this nerf won't affect me as much.

The more I think about this change, the more I think it's potentially a buff to Ynnari as a cohesive army. The old Strength From Death strongly encouraged you to just have a small Ynnari detachment with a big unit of Spears and Dark Reapers, whereas this feels more like you could plausibly have a whole Ynnari list. It's really going to be the stratagems and psychic powers that make or break it.
In particular I can see Harlequins being potentially interesting with the new SFD, as they get to keep Rising Crescendo and gain +1 to hit in melee.

Harlequins and DE might get something out of this. Craftworlds though? Just due to 18 psychic powers alone we might want to stay pure.

And no Solitaire, cant have it with a Ynnari detachment or character, why take quins if you cant take a solitaire? You'll need 2 detachments.... But no.. Imperial can spend 1Cp for any assassin they want..

Eh. Even if their psychic powers and stratagems turn out to be absolutely outrageous, the new Ynnari are really going to struggle to produce anything that's anywhere near as bad as Ynnari Reapers and Shining Spears have been in the past.

You’re saying this with know knowledge of the relics strats or powers at all. For all we know a combo will make something else just as broken. Plus reapers and Spears has a points increase due to double actions. I expect GW to decrease their points since the reason their points were increased in the first place is no longer a thing.

I mean, yes, I'm saying this because unless any of their relics, strats and psychic powers are absolutely absurd no combination is going to reach the heights of "Every unit in your army can potentially take two bonus actions a round for free". There have been complaints about Ynnari for very good reasons.

that detachment that links two units and lets both proc the new death thingy, if one gets it seems fun. Not saying it is ground breaking with the heavy nerf to it, but it seems to me, someone who knows little about playing eldar, as fun.

So, the New Zealand page for the White Dwarf is up. You can read the general army rules in a picture.
No named characters in Ynnari other than the 3 Ynnari specifics. And no Solitaire
Basically, no more using non Ynnari stratagems and psychic powers on Ynnari units. Also, they replace the <Faction> with Reborn Eldar-Type.
Beasts, Scourges, and Incubi can be included in Ynnari armies without breaking solid detachment rules but don't get Strength From Death, either.
Including the characters in a detachment lets you decide if it is a standard Craftworld, Drukhari, or Harlequins without giving up specific faction bonuses (but no such bonus for the Ynnari character.) Alternatively, you can decide that it is an Ynnari Detachment and all units gain Ynnari keyword (and faction changes mentioned above).
Strength From Death: (effects all Ynnari units in a Battle Forged non Superheavy Auxiliary detachment)
Once any unit dies all Ynnari units get to benefit from "Soulburst actions" which seems to be an Always Strike First (alternate with chargers, etc) for the rest of the turn. If the Ynnari unit had an Always Strike First type rule or charged that turn they can add 1 to their to hit rolls with melee weapons that turn.
No word if there are other things involved with "Soulburst actions" or if that was just flavor text now.
www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/White-Dwarf-May-EN-2019
So, it seems that GW finally realised that in a game with limited turns and actions being able to have your entire army act twice as many times as the enemy was a little unbalanced.
What's your opinion on the nerf? Are Ynnari an non-viable army on the scale of Grey Knights now, a mid level army or will the nerfs do nothing and the 5th round of nerfs still not do their job?
Considering Ynnari are easily the strongest overall army in the game right now, they had to change something if they wanted to give them more toys. Who knows though? Might have gone too far.

With the exception of imperium Soup with a Castellan or Knights in general you mean?
Also Ynnari in a Good players hand. Very strong.
Ynnari in a bad players hand. Average (CW has a much lower skill curve).
Knight in a Good players hand. Very Strong.
Knights in a noob's hand. Very Strong.
Very little skill curve. Very unfun to watch and play against. Seen many a new player come up against a Knight or Knight army and almost get put off 40k altogether.
They needed a nerf something like using CP to activate Soul BUrst. Many armies have fight again Strategems so to be fair if there is a PP that allows a Squad to shoot and a Strategem that allows a squad to fight again Ynnari may become a well balanced army.
Here's hoping.

But you have to buy the white dwarf for this update so why even buy it. Most tournaments probably will let players use the Yannari 8th ed stuff they have so if the WD nerf is that bad most players probably just won't use it.

I imagine that's likely what will happen but until such time what sane player would use rules that dramatically hurt their army?

No until chapter approved is released players shouldn't be forced to use a publication you can't get your hands on a month after it comes out. No tournament circuit could function well that way. Also that would mean any new player that wanted to pick up the army 3 months from that WD is going to have to go back to find an old monthly publication just so they can play their new are, that seems foolish.

A tournament should not allow unofficial copies of rules. So tel me how a player plays the new ynnari if there is no copies for purchase and no illegal copies allowed? And saying “he can’t” isnt an option. Answer? Index. Yay! We found a way around the bad rules until chapter approved. People will hate it but hey, they can go cry
