Ynnari attribute had improved and the extra stuff isn't bad

Ugh, really?

Every Ynnari DE unit *and* every Ynnari Harlequin unit needs to be balanced with an Eldar unit of the same battlefield roles.

And Ynnari Harlequins also just lose their Pivotal Roles, just because.

Suck on a barrel of dicks, GW.

Oh... ok. So a Ynnari force is how I could use my DE units.

Oooh. Wraithlord can take heavy weapons and a ghost glaive. I’m probably wrong but that’s a change I think?

The wraithlord could take 2 heavies and the sword at least as far back as 4th edition, but back then if you took two of the same they were twin-linked instead of two separate weapons. Then in 6th it changed so you could take 2 bright lances, for example.

Not degrading, -1D, and the duel profile on the glave are very nice. Hopefully the points are viable.

Well, the Ynnari force is exactly how I want to play my Eldar. This is really exciting.

There is also no double weapons on the wraithlord (sticking to the only use what comes in the box rule). The way the data slate is worded you can take 2 heavies but only 1 of any of the weapons. I wouldn't be surprised if the walkers ended up with the same rule since they have the same sprue options.

I can see how you get that reading, but hopefully the FAQ it. That would suck a LOT if intentional.

Luckily I magnetized mine.

I don't read it that way at all.
It's up to 2 of the following: 1 BL, 1 AML, 1 Shuricannon, 1 Star cannon or 1 Scatter laser
So I can have 2 of (1 BL).

It would be really REALLY annoying if you could only take 1 of each weapon, but 2 Heavies total.

its to be expected honestly, its the new GW mentality

No Model, No Rules was just an arbitrary excuse anyway. After that excuse came about we still got robbed of Autarch options (cuz they stopped making them) but were given the option of an on-foot Autarch that had gear we didn't have produced models for without kitbash/proxy.

Just reading the new Crusade article and can't help but notice that Corsairs are not mentioned. Are they actually their own thing in the new Aeldari codex, like the Harlequins, or just units for the Craftworlds, like the Rangers?

Yeah. Feels like a miss.

Any leaks on what the solitare looks like in the new book?

It got stronger, tougher, and can't take traits or relics, gets kiss/caress keywords at the same time and kept its 3++.

Thats pretty nice!

Designers' notes article on the new Eldar models, with another one coming tomorrow:

there was an image on Harlie FB page.

8 base attacks, s4, has same weapons as before (caress and kiss) which is singular profile but gains both keywords. 3+ invuln, still has Blitz. Cannot take relics or Wts. 3 Pivotal roles, cannot remember what they do.

It sucks they can't get Relics but overall not bad.

One is a minus 1 to hit, and failed rolls can't be re-rolled. Another is a deepstrike and you permanently roll 3d3 to charge, discarding one. Last one gives you an auto advance of 6 and extra 3" pile in/consolidate.

Given we're only aware of one, maybe two, units for them (can't remember if the veteran squad version is confirmed or not), I'm going to go with "just a unit" for now.

Yeah I'm with Galef; I don't read it that way at all.

You can take double weapons.

Tasty

I hope you're correct and I'm wrong but based on past GW rules/datasheets they seem to be saying that there is a limit of 1 of each weapon but you can have 2 weapons. If they meant that you could have 2 of any of the weapons as a combination they would have just left the "1" out. It's that specification of quantity that leads me to my conclusion.

Honestly, I was peering at this rule for several minutes, trying to work out what they actually meant.

It seems like something that could be read either way.

Eldar are getting a lot of advanced positioning units. You can almost put your whole army in the midfield before the game starts

I noticed alot of their stuff is getting core so they're easy to buff

There's also a lots of units we've seen NOT getting CORE, so it'll be interesting to see how useful our traditional "buff" characters are actually gonna be

Wonder what the point of giving the Bow relic the Shuriken rule? Am i missing an interaction?
