My old custom Craftworld (House of Ulthanash) used Hunters of Ancient Relics and Wrath of the Dead for +1 attack near objectives and reroll wound rolls of 1 fro wraith constructs. New version would allow shooting while performing actions and heroic interventions for wraith units. different, but still pretty decent (if I don't just stick with iyanden).

Am I being daft, or are we largely missing info on psychic powers?

Not just you. Info on psychic powers has been real thin.

I think all the runes of battle leaked. Not seen anything from the other 4.

Well, short of further previews, I guess we’ve some new info to look forward to once book is in mitts.

Nice one!

Had not seen those. Nice.

Empower. Charging Bumshees.

Maureens wounded on a 2+.

Sounds pretty saucy!

Expert Crafters was nerfed but that's not too surprising. Looks like some of these were copy pasted, disappointed since Superior Shurikens +3" range made some sense when Guardian Catapults were 12", now that they are 18" they have a nice odd 21" range

Not sure I understand the WC preview.

Does it mean they are releasing the Avatar.at a later date or just that they couldn't show it all on the article but it will all be for pre order next week.

No Avatar. No Shining Spears. No Autarch. No Rangers. No Shroud Runners.

They'll all come later.

Indeed.

Since Autarch, Rangers, Shroud Runners are from the box,
it might be a long run to get them separately.

I'm hoping they add rules for craftworlds like Yme-loc, and Mymeara.

they released the WD Altansar so I suppose they could do the same for other craftworlds.

But the number of traits you can access means you could probably make something you like out of that without needing a unique set of rules.

I think we'd be more likely to see Mymeara in an Imperial Armor or similar FW compendium instead of in the Codex since Shadow Spectres are their claim to fame

Codex anchors this wave of releases, and guardians and a set of aspect warriors round it out. Give it a little while for eldar shoppers wallets to recover, then the avatar as a centerpiece and rangers and bikers to add to it. Corsairs are linked to kill team.

Aspect warriors are pretty fixed in loadout, so gw can potentially update an aspect plus Phoenix lord at any point, tied to a future warzone season or battle box.

There's been exactly one time that I can recall in years that the sunday preview didn't show everything that comes.

There's wave 2 and likely 3 later. GW doesn't want to load up one weekend too heavy as it's always the launch that gathers most money from the kit reducing fast as time goes so that in few months it's not that interesting sales anymore. Not everybody can afford everything at once and in multiples

Same reason why GW doesn't put up 2 armies(even in different games) at once so fyreslayers and idoneth are still waiting(despite GW saying in recent roadmap they come in winter which got busted). GW doesn't want them and eldars to compete with each other.

Sisters of battle got wave 3(which included quite a few crucial units) 2 months after codex launch and wave 4 about year later.

Does it just seem like nerf after nerf to anyone else? Thought our codex was supposed to be getting better.

Uuuh what nerf there has been announced exactly? Have seen nothing but big buffs including return of one of the most busted abilities GW has ever created(move shoot move) though at least this time with some safeguards.

They just nerfed every single one of those custom craftworld bonuses as well as many more if you look through the leaks. Admittedly there are some nice buffs too.

UK and EU prices

Codex £32.50 €42.50
Guardians £32.50 €42.50
Warlocks £32.50 €42.50
Dark Reapers £35 €45
Maugan Ra £27.50 €35
Dice £24 €31.50

The Trimuviate are direct only so no prices yet.

I wonder if the prices have the upcoming price adjustment built-in or are they going up within two weeks

Looks to me like just a 2 week release for Aeldari. I can't see them postponing the avatar giving how much it's already been previewed.

They had an overview of all the kits being released a few weeks back. (Notably no shroudrunners or Rangers so those could very well be held back.)

Warlocks are a good bit more than I was expecting.

Can't. A wound roll can't be modified by more than +/- 1. They already get +1 from charge.

I doubt you'll see anything from Eldritch Omens getting its own release this close to the box coming out - figure 3-6 months for those three sets.

Aviator and Shining Spears could be in a week or two, though.

The Kill Team roadmap indicated a box in Q1, didn't it? Would that be Corsairs vs. X (probably CSM), or would that land in the Q2 slot?

Awwww. I’ll give them +1 to hit instead then

FR; it's two tiny guys. I know it's gonna be different for everyone but sticker shock on these new releases has taken me from "when Eldar get a decent update I'm dropping everything and doing an army right away!" to "eh, I guess I'll get round to an Eldar army someday"
