That last part about "the new unit might not be in the codex at the start" just makes it even more credible that this comes from reading the codex.

From a “quick read of a pre-print copy”?

The author said they come from the same source who leaked out the roadmap months ago, who clearly has a good breadth of knowledge of what's coming if true.

Edit: to clarify I'm referring to these advent images, not the slightly dubious list on page 1.

**Dysartes**

At the minute, this whole thing has sub-Faeit credibility levels.

He never made any such claim. Only that it was third hand info and his source with second hand knowledge has told him something about Custodes.

"no, don't worry, the guy from last week has nothing to do with these rumours.

They actually come from the same person that predicted the exact Black tempar mini-lineup, as well as the custodes and GSC releases. There will be no pictures, but considering the accuracy of the rumours up until now, it's not unlikely that there's truth to them.

Of course, still always take them with a grain of salt, as you should take all rumours and leaks."

Could it be GW are behind these leaks to gauge player response?

Considering all accounts are that the person who "predicted the exact Black Templar mini-lineup" was censured for their leaks...I find that exceedingly doubtful.

Why is gossip about upcoming products less believable than gossip about an internal disciplinary matter? Did someone leak the related HR documents online?

Who knows, it seems people never enjoy just idle chitchat about potential happenings, it has to be a hard cold 100% believable fact to be a rumour these days. Personally it's just nice to have some old-fashioned hearsay to mull over and talk about, the demands for credentials and accuracy rates etc isn't the main point of it all to me.

Because there are reliable rumormongers who talk about these kinds of things, while the Craftworld stuff from Reddit came after everything and seems to trade upon the established credibility of the other rumors.

I get that rumors are rumors and everything, but there's a difference between someone who says they had the same source as a big set of rumors where the person who leaked things was apparently able to have those leaks traced back to them based upon the information they gave(which was why B&C deleted the posts in the first place!) and someone who awhile later says they have the exact same source for reals and doesn't acknowledge the one mistake made in the BT leak.

No, because it’s probably too late in the day to change things if people hate it.

How? If they’ve read the codex there’s be no ‘might’ about it, and if it’s not in the codex how would they know about a new unit from reading the codex?

That would be the reverse of what miracle dice are but flexible in a different way. Has to match the pre-ordained value but flexibility in choosing is the reward.

All we have to go on is that you match a dice roll and can change it to a 6. We don't know if that's the whole rule or what the context is. Even if that's the whole rule more often than not you want high numbers and you don't HAVE to swap the dice, so it's still pretty powerful to be able to convert a low one to a high one.

I know the Eldar community is founded upon a strict code of salt and pessimism, but seriously if every single thing that comes out of the woodwork is poo poo'd because the end of our noses are too long to see past, we'll never get any enjoyment out of these releases. Seriously, I came to this thread expecting to see everyone excited and theory crafting over the possibilities and all I see is doom and gloom!

I mean I know its not without justification, but man, I was excited! I guess optimism is one of my virtues lol

Hard to be excited about troll "leaks"

For what? How to do next eldar codex minimum 2 years from now? You realize right that if eldar codex is immident it's been done and locked like a year? More seeing delays on releases.

I expect people will enjoy the stuff that actually comes out just fine (with a side lament for whatever personal favorite didn't get an update). Doubt at this stage is normal and healthy, as it means people are not propagating nonsense over and over again. The number of times people have made stuff up or used counter-examples and the idiot websites have picked them up and sent them back as 'official rumors' is non-trivial.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

But now he claims that his info comes from a playtester. So another contradiction.

The link you just posted contains another link to a Twitch stream from earlier this week, where Honest Wargamer and the creator of 40kstats corroborate these Eldar rumours as "all true".

Ah well, regardless it's given us all something to talk about, read and theorise over. The proof will be in the pudding.

**Tiberius501**

What was today’s leak?

**No wolves on Fenris**

Not sure if this has been shown already or if this is a real model I missed but was going through my BT codex and saw this...

Wondered if it was anything?

It's the Spiritseer which came out with "Wake the Dead".

**Wha-Mu-077**

Really sexy model by the way, isn't it,

**GaroRobe**

What a poser. Any eldar worth his pointy ears knows they need to pose on a much larger piece of aeldari masonry.

You have to earn your chunk of rubble. Lelith and Drazhar get big impressive pieces, while Sam Spiritseer or Joe Harlequin get little rocks.

According to WarCom the new Tau character is being unveiled "very soon" (i.e. tomorrow for New Model Monday). That means they're clear for Eldar to be the big Xmas / New year reveal. Last time was Hedonites battletome announcement + some core models on xmas, then their big centrepiece model shown on Jan 1st.

Fingers crossed that we see the new Avatar this NYD...

Remember, there are still unsolved Rumour Engines from last year's Advent. So don't get your hopes up.

**Kanluwen**

Oh please. It's two images, from the same character.

And the fact it's just two images somehow invalidates the fact they're still images, from last years' advent, still not revealed?
