They're a unit/weapon which very much would benefit from some interesting and unique stratagems/abilities.

Shorter ranges reward mobility and moving around taking the benefit of Battle Focus, and give Eldar the feel that they're an army about precision strike, not stand and shoot army. Yeah, 12" probably is too short, but I don't think it would be good for the game to have hundreds of Shuriken fly from high range from cover/penalties to hit. Then Guardians would just turn into fw/skitarii/marines. And then Dire Avengers need something to make them unique. I think when you play Eldar, there should always be a feeling that you're dancing just outside of enemy charge and need to position your units carefully.

It surely has nothing to do with a few stodgy grognards in the rules team having more say than they should and a measure of "keep things as is" for the most part, right?
I said it mostly like a joke, but it`s fact that there were many old marine players ragging on GW facebook page, because they did not get all the new SM stuff.

Yes, because we're now almost a month past the start of preorders for the Marine stuff(started on August 10th--released on the 17th) with a large chunk of the missing items(Eliminators box, Infiltrators/Incursors box, the Impulsor, and the Reiver Lieutenant that they plastered into every photo showcasing the new stuff) still nowhere in sight.
That's not even factoring in the remaining four supplements. And for whatever reason, the two Marine releases we actually saw in August?
They had six models across them. Only three(Tigurius, Khan, Invictor) were actually new, and two of those three were Chapter specific(Khan and Tigurius).
It's not like they were packed to the brim with stuff on the one non-Codex release they did(Invictor, Phobos Librarian, Phobos Captain, and the "Wake the Dead" Lieutenant) either. Or that they couldn't have managed to give some kind of idea when to expect stuff or added some of it in during the Made to Order LOTR wave(which wasn't really that big anyways, being something like 6 items).
So yeah, you might think people are being impatient or whiny or whatever...but some of us(myself included) would like to be able to finish out our all Phobos forces.

Shuriken Catapults were very good in 2nd edition, but keep in mind they were an option, and somewhat expensive (considering a Guardian was still a 'militia' unit stat-wise). Guardians died very quickly in 2nd ed., so it was a balancing act, but yes the Shuriken Catapult was superior to even a common Stormbolter. This was fine, because you still had cheap and numerous lasguns as an option for the squad.
Caution: Contentious Statement: While the Eldar were gutted, I also dislike the recent change to make Guardians BS/ WS 3+. This was an utterly pointless and stupid change which made Guardians too good, and made Aspect Warriors seem even less purposeful. (the same goes for Space Marine Scouts just being shoe-horned into BS/ WS 3+ as well). What the feth is the problem having units that better/worse than other units? That's the whole point. Give me BS/ WS 4+ Guardians with cheap lasguns, and make them cheaper/worse than Aspect Warriors. This dumbing down of the variance in stat-lines is a terrible direction. And yes, I'm arguing that one of our units should be made worse...I understand that.
Lore-wise, an Aspect Warrior is a dedicated warrior, having risked donning the war mask and training endlessly day after day, sometimes for years. Mastering a single martial discipline. Etc. etc. etc. This is why, lore-wise a fight between say, a Striking Scorpion and an Assault Marine should be amazing, legendary even. Each of them hundreds of years old, dedicated to a life of martial prowess - a master of their chosen form of combat, armed with the finest weapons and gear in the universe, bla bla bla. But suddenly some militia and some newly recruited scouts are more or less on par, and just have slightly worse armour? What the feth?
I think GW fethed up big time when they launched 8th. They didn't take into account the impact modifiers would have on the dumbed down stat-lines which are still more or less a hold-over from 3rd editions "blandening". This would have been the time to re-write the basic Marine statline (other than dropping the leadership value by one...). We need more diverse/expansive gaps/differences in traits and statlines.
Caution: Rules Rant ahead...so I'm spoilering it.

I get what you're saying, but 24 is not a particularly long range these days though. 18 was my another suggestion, but that honestly still doesn't make sense with the platforms. Now my suggestion was based on the current models. If we could get a new kit, then there could be a harder hitting, range 18 catapults, and weaker, but range 24 or even 30 laser weapon. Then the latter could go with the platforms.

24" is not long because more factions get more range and more new weapons, and also because range only really comes into play if you slam 2 tables together and play Apoc.
Anyway, until GW decides to also change Guardian kit, I think it's all pointless wishlisting. I'm more interested if they change Aspect weapons.

12" Assault made sense when a Bolter had to stand still to fire 2 shots at 12" and one at 24", and when it moved it only got one shot at 12" AND couldn't charge. The Eldar instead could move 6", fire twice AND Charge. Huge difference. That was 3rd Ed.
Unfortunately the Shuriken Catapult didn't get upgraded while the Rapid Fire rules evolved over subsequent editions.
----
The Storm Bolter at that time turned into Assault 2 24", which balanced out a couple things. Terminators went down in BS and lost their Targeters, and the Assault Cannon got knocked down a huge amount from 2nd to 3rd. Since they were the only Storm Bolter carrying unit, the relative adjustments were reasonable, imo.

The original Guardian WS/BS of 3 was from when the average trained human WS/BS was 3, before the swamping of MEQ on the tabletop made WS/BS 4 the new average. This has its roots in the original WHFB when Elves were also basically human with +1 to WS, BS, I, LD. The idea was that a part-time militia Eldar was as good as a professional Imperial Guard soldier, and an Eldar that really focused on training as a professional soldier could achieve WS/BS 4 which was and still is meant to represent elite levels of skill. It is just that its value has been devalued by the ubiquitous MEQ statline.
The problem with the 3rd edition 12" catapult and needing to "dance" into range was the payoff didn't really justify the effort involved. An extra bolter equivalent shot was "meh" when it also meant that some of the time the catapult couldn't fire at all. When these shots also couldn't reliably destroy their target, it also just exposed the firer to a charge. That was why Guardian squads turned into ablative wounds for the heavy weapons platform. It just wasn't worth the effort and risk to do otherwise. If a weapon forces the player to put in effort in order to get it to work, the reward has to be significant enough for the player to want to jump through those hoops.

True. But Guardian blobs do reward you with good firepower now. It's units like Avengers and Warp Spiders who feel meh for their price for just 2 shots.

I think that depends tremendously on your frame of reference. Guardians could slaughter Guardsmen with Catapults, and Guardians could also charge after firing their guns, unlike Guardsmen and Space Marines. That meant they didn't have to be waiting around for a counter charge. Imo they worked pretty well in close support of Aspects against other infantry in 3rd. Otherwise, it put Guardians in control of a Heavy Weapons platform where they could support the rest of the army, which works pretty well from a home-grown militia standpoint.
There are aspects of 3rd that broke down really fast, like the speed of assaults as highlighted by the Blood Angels codex at the time. But when pushing things around using the basic infantry, Guardians worked out alright, imo. Despite all the Infantry moving 6", the Assault designation of the Catapult made Eldar way more capable on the move. Remember, Space Marine moves, shoots once, can't charge. Very limited.

I heard that guardians manage to move again after they shoot, so they can get some protection, but now they are in the open and pretty vulnerable. Guardsmen are 4 pts and with catachan they can fight in melee something guardians can`t.

Moving after shooting was a really late addition, in 6th or 7th (AKA 3.7 and 3.8 edition).
8th edition is truly actually 4th edition 40k rather than the mess that was 3rd edition amended but they really didn't scrap enough of 3rd edition like they did from 2nd -> 3rd.

Or $60 for 10. But either way too darn expensive for thin spindly models that aren't likely to come with alternate options aside from Exarch weapons.
I really hope they don't come in sets of 10, though. Given that most Aspects are in units of 4 + Exarch, boxes of 5 a la Dire Avengers makes the most sense. And that box is $35.

Keep in mind this is the army which went from 10 Dire Avengers for $35....arbitrarily cut to 5 Dire Avengers for $35.
I'm excited about plastic Aspects, despite not really playing the game at the moment....but I simply won't pay $60 for 10 small plastic figures.
I think the very best we could possibly hope for is maybe $50-55 per box. My hope is that in a year or two there is a Swordwind box at Christmas which is a good deal, or a new start collecting box - or some combo/starter box to make the cost not absolutely stupid.

So, some of our fears appear to have been alleviated, the howling banshees does not appear to have been primarised/ynarrified in any way shape or form but rather is a full on plastic revamp. I don't know about any other CWE fans but having been searching ebay for good metals for all of our aspects I can now stop looking for banshees and take my time waiting for these to be released and get on with the rest of my army. Makes me a very happy happy table topper. I know I will be picking up at least a couple boxes (lets hope they don't come in a wake the dead type box..)
So question is, do we just get the banshees? And have to make do with that for the next XX years?
Will we see some new phoenix lords??
Are there going to resculpt PLs also??
What's the next aspects after the banshees likely to be done? (My money is on scorpions as they are very iconic)
This is what is getting me interested in Eldar. If they do the AoK as well, that will seal the deal.

I've always been an advocate of guardian defenders getting lasblasters instead of shuriken catapults. This would better match the weapons platform ranges.
Give storm guardians the shuriken catapults with special weapons make then a short range attacking unit.
You could keep the cats at current stats
Make avengers cats range 18, s4, assault 3 -1.

^ Agreed, except normal cats should still be range 18. 12 is a pistol range, it is pathetic. Avengers don't need longer range than the normal ones, they can get an extra shot instead. It is silly that the citizen militia needs to get closer to the enemy than the dedicated professional warriors led by a sword-wielding Exarch.

Isn't that like the definition of what a militia is, something that is less efficient and worse, if at all, trained? Volksturm for example used anti tank from point blank range. Why normal wehrmacht units, were trained and supplied with longer range weapons.

Because these are the citizens that the Eldar would prefer were not killed. Giving them shotguns and telling them to run at the enemy so that they can shoot once and die seems pretty inappropriate thematically.

Militias are only used in two situations. A threat is a minimal, so it doesn't require regular army. Or the threat is so huge, then every man, woman and child is needed to do something for the war effort.
So if eldar militia is being used, then we are either in the first situation, which means it shouldn't matter what they face, as it would be weak. Or if it is the secon situation, they would be fed to the meat grinder, because the situation is so dire, that it probably threatens the very existance of local eldar population.
