GW needs to stop 'Umie-washin' Ork Kultur! Recent AOS releases have had less junk in the trunk than a bunch of girls called Ellie dancing in a circle to "Single Ladies" in a crap nightclub in Watford.

A post about the psychic awakening went online on the warhammer community page, but it looks like it was taken offline again. However, my rss reader managed to get the text. I have attached it as an image.

Wasn’t there a rumour that mentioned Phoenix Rising?

**Crimson**

This better mean some plastic Phoenix Lords.

Would go nicely with new Aspect Warriors so likely.

**Crazyterran**

Which Craftworld is near Macragge there, and who's rune is that? I'm not versed on Eldar.

**BrianDavion**

if the first one deals with the Ultramarines vs Edlar is it too much to wish for a plastic multipart supressor kit to be released as part of it?

It sounds like it's going to be elf on elf action, reading the info on the Psychic Awakening site.

**GoatboyBeta**

Sounds like its going to have an Eldar vs Eldar focus for the first campaign. Hopefully its a bit more complex than Craftworlders on one side and Dark Eldar on the other.

Sounds like Ynnari v Craftworld v Drukhari in a free for all extraordinaire

I'm thinking more emphasis on the "Ynnari vs" part, myself. "Phoenix" ... Isn't that a symbol of Ynnead? And fluff-wise they're still not the most popular bunch within Eldar culture, are they? Could be the remapping of some of the lines accordingly.

**Albino Squirrel**

I think that's just a farseer rune. Could be near Iyanden on the map, but the location may not be relevant.

**Sunny Side Up**

What indicates Eldar vs. Eldar?

Phoenix could be either Aspect or Ynnari or just old-fashioned coming back from the dead.

And though it's probably Eldar, I don't see any clue it would be Eldar vs. Eldar on both sides.

Personally I'm hoping for some blue on blue action, as well as some combined alliances.

The symbol on the map is the Craftworlds faction. Its a bit tricky to get bearings on that map, bu Craftworlds Alaitoc and Iyanden are roughly in the area of the Eldar clicky button.

The description on the "living map" makes it pretty clear that all the angry space elves are angry again.

Until they have to team up to fight off the Necrons/Chaos/Orks/Tyranids with the power of friendship

I'm going with where it says,

Phoenix Rising

The ancient and proud Aeldari race is split into various factions. The stoic and noble Asuryani live their lives adrift on planet-sized Craftworlds. The depraved Drukhari venture forth from the dark metropolis of Commorragh to raid and pillage. The mysterious Harlequins travel the galaxy according to their unfathomable whims via the webway. And the newly formed Ynnari, comprised of members from all walks of Aeldari life, are united in the desire to awaken Ynnead, god of the dead.

The Aeldari are a psychically sensitive race, and the fragile balance between these disparate cultures has been disturbed by the Psychic Awakening. These factions have become embroiled in a full-scale internecine war for the future of their people.

Ancient divisions yawn ever wider, the complex fabric of alliances and uneasy truces unravels, and self-righteous leaders on all sides attempt to rally support for their causes.

vs Harlequins?

I've made a separate thread about this peeps, if you're interested; https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/780018.page

Can anyone guess where the 'non-clicky button, but definitely going to be a future button' - is according to the map?

**Albino Squirrel**

What is all the stuff on the map that's moving around?

Sounds likely it is indeed an all-Eldar book. Aeldari versus Drukhari, with the Harlequins in the middle. It will be the Ynnari that will prove to be the tipping point.

The rune is one of these;

Eldrad Ulthran
Codex: Eldar (4th ed.), p61
Farseer
Codex: Eldar (4th ed.), p74
HQ unit (Force Organisation chart)
Codex: Eldar (3rd ed.), p4
Codex: Eldar (2nd ed.), p33

I think Biel-Tan is the closest to Macragge, which jives well with all the plastic Aspect Warriors

If you mean the hexagon right above the Eldar on the other side of the Necron teritory, isn't that the Tau Empire?

Orks - Ghaz, Mad Dok Grotsnik (early 3rd ed)

Grotznik is seriously that old? Are you sure?

Because the model still looks decent next to the buggy crew that came out last year, while Thrakka does not. I'd have guesses he was the same age as the other ork named characters.

Yes. He is indeed that old. He hails from 3rd ed. And he hasn't aged well.
