Would you leave the backpack off as well, Kan?

Indeed. That's part #13, the Reaper Targeter. It's all one big part, which is highly impressive IMO!

Ah, I wouldn't've thought of it as that piece, hence my confusion - I know one of the painters I watch on Twitch was saying last week that she wished she'd left it off.

I *may* have done a bad thing with Maugan Ra...

With Jain Zar, you now have all you need for the next "Girls vs Boys" video for Youtube!

Dunno it looks pretty good to me - is it just a reaper head swap? Is there a change to the backpack/banner and stance as well - looks different to me but may just be the angle...

It's a head swap.

Worth noting that the actual head for Maugan Ra is two pieces: one is sculpted to the main body and the other is the front bit of the cowl, extending over top of the Maugetar.

You can leave the Maugetar off and still place it underneath of the cowl bit though for anyone wanting to do that.

He kinda looks like he has a massive chin with that headswap

Eldar have that Egyptian aesthetic of having pointy chin/beard things on their helmets (autarchs and I think maybe farseers?), so having a massive chin is probably a huge flex

I cut off the vanes on that head and plan to use it on my autarch, looks quite sweet

So… random thing that will probably get FAQd; the Travelling Players rule for Harlequin patrols… it doesn’t seem to care about whether the rest of the army is aeldari?
I mean, read strictly it certainly appears to let you ad a harlequin patrol to any army, not just space elf ones.

Also, am I imagining things or can you throw Corsairs into a Dark Eldar army pretty much at will? They have Drukhari listed as a faction keyword…

I noticed that too. I might have to look into getting some Dark Bois later in the summer.

So far I don't see any data sheets that are unusable. The internal balance seems to be very, very high in this book. Even the Neuro Disruptors got better.

It looks like it's a detachment ability for Asuryani Detachments. So you need at least one Asuryani Detachment to get Travelling Players? That or the codex is poorly laid out and the rule in the box on the Detachment Abilities page is not a Detachment Ability. With GW, who knows?

Three words....two...Warlocks...105NZD. Frig off, GW it's $16 cheaper on Mighty Ape but that's still $89 for two models. Also, $115 for five Dark Reapers? Just...crazy.

No rumours yet for when the next models arrive?

Well, apart from the corsairs in the next KT box next week? No, not really.
Unfortunately second waves can be separated by weeks or by months lately without any particularly obvious rhyme or reason so I’m betting mid April since that’s towards the end of the three-month window from the Avatar reveal.

No. In order to gain the ability the army must be Battle-forged. If the army is Battle-forged only then does the Patrol detachment gain the ability. This means you must add the Patrol detachment before you gain the ability.

As soon as you add Harlequins to an army with which is doesn't share any keywords at all, it would be an Unbound army and not Battle-forged.

If it said something along the lines of 'If your army is Battleforged, you may then add a Harlequins Patrol detachment and not lose stuff' you'd be right.

We know the Combat Patrol box is due in April - if I were a betting man, I'd expect the remaining unreleased kits to come out then (Avatar, Shining Spears - am I missing anything?).

Corsairs should see a release outside of Kill Team Nachmund in late May or early June, assuming the pattern we're seeing here is retained.

The units from Eldritch Omens could release alongside either of these, or even on their own - I'd probably lean closer to with the Corsairs than the Combat Patrol, but that's a guess on my part.

Rangers on foot box would be nice but im afraid to see the price, specially after the Dark reapers price.

Autarch has been fixed.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/03/15/walk-all-the-paths-at-once-with-the-updated-aeldari-autarch-datasheet/

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/fDlxaHkFk1zghWjo.pdf

Also these two are coming for a brief Made to Order.

Wow. Was not expecting this.

Look at how clean that datastlate is, without all the nested if/or decisions. Simple, flexible, lets you play the way you want.

Kudos to GW for doing the right thing.

(The keep doing it, and retroactively do it to all the other places you mangled things still needs to happen. But baby steps.)

'This didn't occur to us, but a lot of you complained, so... here.'

I really like the datasheet. Especially the points in the empty space under the pic. If only people would complain until _that_ became the standard.

SWEET!

I don't think they did either of those Autarchs in the last MTO batch either, but I could be wrong. I know they did swooping hawk wings + reaper launcher + sword, but I haven't seen the Shuriken one. Not sure about the Biel Tan one either.

And yet they couldn't be bothered to fix their screw-up on the Skitarii weapon loadouts.

Ah well, good for the people wanting all the Autarch stuff.

Books been out for a week and its already out of date. Great.

GW needs to do digital rulebooks (or at the very least make a functioning app thats worth a damn).

Were those made to order models metal or finecast last they were released?

Well it's a good move, but it'd be better if it was like this from the start, y'know?

Glad that didn't take long. Never should'a happened in the first place, but we'll take the victories where we can get 'em.

What screwup with the Skitarii weapon loadouts?

Justice for the Autarch!

Yeah, I wouldn't rely too much on them with digital updates. Just checked the app and the autarch datasheet hasn't been updated.

No... don't encourage the Kan AdMech/Skitarii rants that matter only to him. Especially not in non-AdMech threads.

very tempted to buy 2 more autarchs just so that I can build the dude on the cover. That will give me 4 autarchs for all occasions, lol.
