I literally cannot read them. If you've got the book just take a clear picture. This is really tiring.

**Wha-Mu-077**

Just take a normal picture oh my god

**vipoid**

Harlequins are looking very interesting.

Also, I really hope someone leaks the Ynnari rules soon.

Just sharing them from the discord, I don't own anything. I can read them, just need to zoom in.

I can just stop sharing them. No skin off my nose.

They're tough to read, but not impossible.

Seems that the Death Spinner is not auto-hit.

Yeah, that's what surprised me. Does it mean the Autarch's Death Spinner won't be either ?

Here's a nut punch for Harlies opponents. A minimum of 4 free CP rerolls a turn - probably 5.

If your army is pure harlequins and all of the same Seadath (subfaction), you get a number of 'luck re-rolls' based on the game size at the start of each battleround:

-Combat patrol: 1
-Incursion: 2
-Strike Force: 3
-Onslaught: 4

In addition, you can make a 'Luck of the Laughing God' roll to try and get more luck dice.To do so, roll any number of D6's between 1 dice and 6 dice. If all of these dice have a unique result, you gain as many luck-dice as the amount of D6's that you rolled in addition to the ones gained from the battle size.

Example: You want to roll 2 D6's when rolling for 'Luck of the Laughing God'. You roll a 3 and a 4. These results are unique, so you gain 2 extra luck dice that battleround.

Luck reroll's can only be used on: hit rolls, wound rolls, damage rolls, saving throw rolls and advance rolls.

Remember when a Seer Council was just something you took, rather than needing yet another strat?

I'm more remembering when characters could just join units to get basic abilities to work and LOS! shooting protection, and we didn't have to bother with seven different flavors of special rules to just recreate the same wheel with increasingly square pieces.

...god damn it >_>. I fething hate this kinda stuff.

**JohnnyHell**

It’s a bit late to be protesting Strats, folks… change the record! It was a hit almost five years ago!

Trans-aelf and no Perils on Eldrad Bighat is mint!

**Hellebore**

Asurmen is also a beast.

4 special weapons for storm guardians.

**Hellebore**

Complete weapon profiles

Grumpy Turnip remembers...(hence his tin foil Grenade theory)

Although this one might be better than the old version as it applies the bonus to more rolls, even if it no longer helps the Warlocks

**H.B.M.C.**

Can't just take 4 special weapons, got to take 2 of this, and 2 of that, and 2 of the other. So fething asinine...

But then everything wouldn't be bespoke!

The personification of the Doppler effect.

**Mr_Rose**

Look, I’m just glad his super-suit does something useful again.
Also, three manifests and two denies with no Perils? That’s a bunch of psi for such a tiny head. Getting +1 from a Council on top seems kinda broken but I don’t see anything preventing it.

**Hellebore**

Illic can one shot a character (especially with SoF). May not happen all the time.

48" s6 ap-3 d3 4+ to wound adds 1d3 MW.

**Iracundus**

I take it Searsong is the new name for Fuegan's firepike?

All these new Phoenix Lord weapons to keep track of...

Seems to be. The naming is I think an artefact of their original 2nd ed incarnation when only some of them had named wargear. Then they genercised firepikes, claws, executioners and the 2nd ed names stayed with the old wargear card weapons. So since 3rd some have had named weapons and others the generic name now used by their aspects.

Now everyone is super special and unique so they get their own names.

I like that you've got 3 pls with 6shot ranged weapons, 4, 2 and fuegan with 1 (unsure how effective the beam will be)

**Argive**

AT this point I'm not reading any of these leaks and will just wait for my codex.

Have to say I'm pretty stoked

Thanks for sharing. I can see what you have posted perfectly fine

**Mr_Rose**

Well that’s a bit of a surprise; Dark Sphere is doing a registry for the Aeldari stuff. Did anyone else see that earlier?

**H.B.M.C.**

Hey, they did what I suggested:

A big Avatar throwdown!

Good, snipers need to be better in this game.

**GaroRobe**

There's something I found hilarious about the marines running from the Avatar. It may be the derpy bare faces, but this is the first time I've actually liked those Chosen heads.

They'd be a lot better if they had suppression mechanics in the game versus just being glorified character hunter guns that can't get through the bodyguard rule anyway.
