Either way it would be something more then the usual. I would agree that it will be less then the marines are getting, but I doubt if anyone else gets that kind of treatment and honestly I am fine with that, if all 20+ factions got 6 supplements... Well, you can see where I am going

Granted, the minor (RC is about legion strength nowadays it seems) got comparativly nothing.

Id also rather get updates to the Fw armies then supplements for everyone and their mother.

I specified black lgion only because they got multiple relics and warlord traits. give em a psykic table and they've got as much content as the space marine books (super doctrine aside)

eaither way, they're certainly more fleshed out then the renegades. although the renegades bit would be intreasting to see sometimes too. if say... one of the Psykic awakening books takes place on a new forge world, they can give a trait etc for that forge world to admech players. Just for example.

Just tried to make sense of Kikasstou's posts- pickup this -he's saying the Sisters box is ETB and the real kits will arrive later. If so that maybe frees up release slots for further eldar? I'd thought if SoB were coming in November there was no room for more eldar but if its just the army box they could fit in further aspects. [which makes sense of they are updating the exarch rules. SoB box at end of November, full release for them in January maybe?

Kikasstou has also said that the current known releases are all eldar will be getting this PA volume (paraphrasing somewhat but the jist is there).

Sorry dude. I doubt we'll see more eldar this release.

Basically it says the Craftworlds will have their own rules like the SM supplements. One can expect Craftworld specific rules, warlord traits, and strategems.

If they actually expand the background of each Craftworld a bit more, beyond a one paragraph blurb like the old 3rd edition Craftworld Codex, then this would be the most in-depth examination of each Craftworld ever. The Iyanden supplement was not bad but I thought a lot of it just went over old ground like Yriel and Kraken.

Anyway we should have concrete very quickly it is expected early October. Then there will be the new AoS faction and end of October the IF / Sally.

Did you Google Translate that? «Vaisseau monde» should read “Craftwold” not “world ship” lol.

Also not sure what else you want to know. Your translation explains basically everything. We should have explicit infos on early October.

Yes I google translated it. I figured 'world ships' was craft world but couldn't be bothered to change it.

I want to know more about the other quotation I've provided from kikastou, that seems to go into a little detail on what we can expect for the Aspect rules.

This one :

Which is pretty clear already? I can fix it without looking at the French.

Found the French original. Not clear if you can use the strat multiple time to have 3+ exarch powers.

Ah- probably for the best- my bank account couldn't take the hit of a full aspect release! Hopefully we'll get some more stuff later and not have to wait a couple more years!

Thank you for the help sir! I didn't get what CC/CT 2+ meant! That makes things clearer. Top man.

Yea fingers crossed there will be steady releases for Eldar moving forward, the benefit of staggered releases is that it gives us slow hobbyists time to paint all of our new bits!

You are welcome, I completely forgot that CC as WS and CT as BS wasn't self-evident because I'm so used to it .

To be fair, we've kind of glossed over it, but that's pretty big right? DA are currently taken in some Eldar lists - having their exarch give the squad 2+ WS and BS seems decent.

Hopefully there's some game changing abilities in this book.

Not sure the 2+ WS will help but, the 2+ BS is nice.

We'll have to see.

But unless they change Jain Zar for example, it seems to create some oddities where a Banshee Exarch with Piercing Strike can get S7 Damage 3 attacks while Jain Zar gets S6 Damage d3 attacks. Sure, Jain Zar can get more Attacks but somehow it still seems wrong for the Exarch to be able to land higher Strength hits than the founder of their Aspect.

Mathematically going from 3+ to 2+ is not as good as "re-roll failed to-hit rolls".

That's true. But the former combo better with “Reroll 1 to hit” aura than the latter, you'll have to admit .

I assume that’s just the Autarch’s WS/BS. It’d be pretty good if he had duel shurikans.

The French phrasing seems to imply it's the whole unit (“les passe” implies plural of affected units) but it's not very clear.

That seems incredibly powerful compared to the normal 4++ on himself. I wouldn’t say no though haha. I’d just put that on all my Avenger Squads.

It shouldn't. I said ages ago that this would most likely be the case. (Well, monopose, not necessarily ETB.)

Since people confuse "monopose" with "easy to build", it might be true.

If someone confuses the two concepts, of course.

They aren’t the same thing. Monopose is par for the course now. ETB would surprise me.

So that either confirms Drazhar's identity or is a big spoiler for the 'Phoenix Rising'.
