Codex Aeldari 10th Edition - Full Rules Review for the Craftworld Eldar, Harlequins + Ynnari

[@auspextactics]

CORRECTIONS: (I'm expecting a lot in such a mammoth book with so many changes, apologies!) - Windriders re-roll all hit rolls against the closest eligible target now, not ones on objectives as I said (which was their previous rule). - Suncannon has been boosted to S10 from S8, which is quite a big deal for T10 targets and transport vehicles. - Warhost Blitzing Firepower Stratagem is worse than I thought, sustained 1 within 12" and only going to a 5+ if you ALREADY had sustained hits. Misread that one sorry. OTHER THINGS - Wraithlord gets +1 to WS / BS from being near psykers, so could stack with other things modifying the hit roll for hitting on 2+ - The ignores AP modifiers one doesn't work with cover (my error speculating there, I should have checked) That was a big one! Let me know if you spot any major errors or corrections, I'll try and compile them here. I'm sure there'll be plenty in a book so big with quite so many changes...

[@anthonyfilgueira5017]

hello. i think the new rule for the windriders is to have a natural re-roll hit roll of 1 and re-roll the hit roll against the closest eligible target.

Lore wise, the phoniex lords can't actually die since there souls are in the spirit stones in the armor. If anyone puts on the armor the spirit in the stone takes over the body. I think Azurmen is the only one who never actually died. The long time fan theory on why the warp spiders didn't have a phoniex lord was because it was lost in the warp. Idk the reason the shinning spears and crimson hunter dont have a phoniex lord. Did Karandrus die/incapacitated in the lore somehow?

[@alphamav3rickgaming]

For the striking scorpions I don’t think the chainsabres is a typo. The new kit gives the exarch dual shuriken pistols when he’s dual wielding chainsabres so I think the shooting profile with twin linked is there to reflect that

I don’t think they will but best of luck to you playing it. Reapers wager was fluffed as a harlequin detachment but realistically every top with it had a single troupe unit and a single troupe master, because harlequins kind of sucked. You have to do a lot of work to get str 3-4 damage 1 melee viable and without wound re-rolls from Falcons all they could do was run around quick and bully light infantry Drukhari could already mulch. They are much better now, but I’m not sure it’s good enough to make 1 damage str 3-4 melee that Drukhari already excels at worth taking. Like even in a universe where they do that really well, then they’re just competing with Drukhari and incubi. People run the detachment becuase its strats are genetically incredible and requires 0 boats not for my favorite clowns sadly.

One note on Cegorach's Coil - It synergises very well with the ghosts of the webway faction ability. being able to charge through an enemy and surround them maximises the chances of getting a full 13 models from a MegaTroupe(tm) into engagement range, meaning you're vastly more likely to get value from this enhancement.

[@drunkenastarte5243]

Rumors are that apparently GW literally just forgot to update him alongside the other PL's... According to a certain yellow Chapter Master's whispers from the Warp though, there's been new models spotted/heavily hinted at for a 'jump infantry' Corsair unit + new updated Vyper kit + new Prince Yrriel still to come out at some point... maybe GW holds that lot back & adds a refreshed & upscaled Karandras to those as the 11th ed release for Eldar? At which point, with all of that lot on top of everything from 7th + 8th + 9th + 10th editions, maybe we can finally shove Eldar to the very back of bus and get the insanely direly needed updates & expansions for the factions that are model starved at this point, such as Dark Eldar, GK's, 1ksons, WE's, Votann and even a couple new units for DG?!

[@drunkenastarte5243]

@ Probably just a case of no one in the Studio to champion them... Half the choice on 'who gets a big release' comes down to how much enthusiasm there is among the Studio team for each faction. Ever since the infamous 3.5ed codex & the Eye of Terror campaign debacle for example, Chaos as a faction have been forever in GW's sin-bin... likewise, there's just no one to really 'champion' the Dark Eldar, but lots of fans of the Kraftworlders ;-) Then it leads into a self fulfilling prophecy of, "no one buys X faction because they never get support" so thus in GW's view as a business, "we're not sinking resources into a faction no one will buy" So now we have a game where we have Loyalists + Guard + Eldar + Tau + Tyranids + 'Crons + Orks who keep getting model support, meanwhile the likes of GK's, Chaos in general, Dark Eldar, Custodes, etc... get table scraps if they're lucky!

[@archonwut1624]

Honestly one of the best combos just from looking at this codex at a glance is to run the war host detachment and put fuegan with 10 fire dragons in a wave serpent. You get to battle focus the wave serpent’s movement and then disembark the fire dragons, shoot and kill like whatever you want really and then use 1cp to go reembark back into the wave serpent. I mean hell you could even disembark first and just battle focus the fire dragons to be 6 inch away from where the wave serpent is going to move (like behind cover) and then shoot with the fire dragons and then embark from 6 inches away for a 1cp. And you can ignore overwatch at any point on the dragons. It seems insanely strong and I am for sure going to run it

[@newborn6]

That works only in ideal situation, what happen if you can't get into position in 1 turn and serpent get shot down while you wait for the next turn? I think Fire dragon is good, but prob small unit that come out of reserve to trade their life for a tank, similar to Eradicators.

[@chetmanley1885]

10 fire dragons and Fuegan is actually massive overkill in a lot of scenarios unless you can spit into two targets. Five is enough to pop land raiders! 10 gives you that strat efficiency and more chances Vs high invulns though so no wrong answers here.

[@samuraiscimitar]

Hmm I would put money on the re-embark strat not allowing units to disembark and reembark same turn. The Firestorm version doesn’t allow it

[@archonwut1624]

@ @ hmmm yeah but there are already other armies that can still disembark and jump back in a transport in the same turn and they don’t have this restriction as Firestorm. The Firestorm specifically doesnt allow it within in the restriction, This strat is also extremely old and wasn’t FAQed/changed or anything, they specially made that restriction to stop that particular army from doing that and specifically haven’t with other armies and to include this new codex. I don’t see how this Strat could be any evidence that eldar would not be able to disembark and embark in the same turn

24:30 I retract my previous comment. I understand what you wanted to say. The expectation of the d6 when re rolling 1s only increase from 3.5 to 3.91 which is around 11%, not 16%. However it is true that in WH40k, the expectation is not important. What matter is the "at least" function, so to say. And in that sense, when you reroll 1s, then "at least 2", "at least 3", etc, increase by 16%. For example, at least 4 goes from happening 50% of the time to 58% of the time which looks like 8% increase, but it is 58/50= 1.16 exactly. Thank you for making me think.

Super sad about the Ynnari changes tbh. Definitely a lot of wasted time and money (recently too) that I now can't use. Did not expect them to rip out more than half the Drukhari roster from being used. They also could have scaled the Ynnari core rule to work better at different army sizes, rather than just being a 1 size fits all, so its more effective in smaller games, and less in larger ones.

[@AdamOnAnalogue]

The codex has made Eldar even more glass cannons. Some units have had a great glow up (with indicative point increases), but there have been some general nerfs too. No more shoot back with wraiths for instance, warwalkers loosing their -1 wound shield and 4+ invul, each warpspider now having to role individually when they jump to see if they die, and all the chonky units loosing a pip or more of toughness, farseers not making a unit (avatar) -1 to wound for an entire battle round, etc. Holding objectives will be harder, and Eldar will have to rely on the new flavoursome movement mechanics to survive, which represents the lore. Whilst some individuals will look various datasheets and decree they're broken. They will forget most of these units are T3 W1 - they will die quickly. They're not DWK, Sang' Guard or such like, and can be easily countered with some basic shooting profiles if caught unawares. It just means some of these glass cannons might actually kill something before their demise. The new mechanics will be far more interactive, flavoursome, and lore accurate. Having to spend points means it will not be an army wide benefit like Oath of Moment, judgement tokens, etc which all increase the lethality of an ENTIRE ARMY. Nor is it like T'Sons with doom bolts going of everywhere or turning of saves for a unit. They will have to be thought about and no way passive. The lack of Battle host & Strands of Fate will ultimately mean the lethality / efficiency of vehicles, special weapons and characters will reduce. Eldar will not be able to hit and wound reliably as they once did, guarantee overwatch on a Avatar or such like, or just pop 8 damage on a vehicle without a dice roll - that's a good thing. It's going to be fun, and there will be some good variety due to all the detachments, and if it is indeed overpowered, Eldar will be hit with the nerf stick once again.

[@guysolomon8926]

Surely Hemlock D-Scythes not also moving to Torrent is an error right?

[@MrBrendanHealy]

I don't understand that the unit is literally a spirit seer in a jetplane but still needs 4+ to hit? Going to torrent would be a good fix but if not, it needs to be 3+.

[@peters6345]

It looks good, I'm pretty excited. Especially because aspect warriors got better, bit bummed about the wraith.. but still might be interesting if using their detachment. My other gripe is the psykers, they feel even more boring than before. Still I didn't like index eldar much, this looks like I will be able to get back into the faction :)

[@natesalyer1496]

What about forge world units? When are we finding out which ones we are losing

[@joheric8886]

Who cares? Stop buying forgeworld

[@natesalyer1496]

@ quit being a dick

[@JoshuaBeckmann-c6f]

6 wave serpents + 1 solitaire + 3 troop masters and 69 troops is 1975 points + Cegorach's Coil on one of the Troop masters = 2000pts on the dot. not sure how good this kind of list is but it seems fairly scary as each squad will have 50+ attacks with blades with devastating wounds.

[@derekkorschinowski9294]

I want to take my complaint about cannons losing sustained. Not my favorite change, but with other synergies it may hit harder into bigger targets. Just takes a bit of the versatility it had

[@justaguy-i1v]

Arguably has more versatility with auto wound as it is only slightly worse against lower toughness targets and is now much more effective against higher toughness targets

[@derekkorschinowski9294]

​@@justaguy-i1vI never ran windriders without a shroud runner there to give lethal hits anyway. So the sustained/lethal combo always worked for me. Just takes away some of the firepower into more swarmy targets, especially if they have access to Feel No Pains

[@levihalo7708]

isn’t the suncannon on wraith knights now strength 10? i thought i saw that in some of the leaks

[@kylesutliff8258]

Looking at the sheet for Asurman, it doesn’t say shooting phase, it says shooting. Does this mean Dire Avengers can move after overwatching?

[@arrowtt3364]

RAW, yes

[@FireQueenAlice]

I really hope that there's a post release wave during one of the big 'events' that gives us karandras and Autarchs on bikes because its absurd these didn't get rules for the codex. Also lost two anrathe leaders and other fun toys....

[@EwanCareyLive]

Karandras will come back with the Shining Spear Pheonix lord. Autarch bike is probably in the can. Having him lead Shining spears would have been a bit nutty is probably why. Auto 6" advance, Tag the unit with advance and charge for free. Guaranteed 22" movement (with battle focus) pulling out a 29" average charge thru terrain, over infantry into the enemy artillery cross map is a bit toxic.

[@FireQueenAlice]

@EwanCareyLive I mean that's why you give them a different ability. I dunno just feels lame having wind riders be relegated to being led by only psykers now.

[@mulchmeat9715]

Have them fighting the necron characters that got axed and you have a deal sir.

[@holokom3330]

After 2 years i am finally done painting my scorpion Grav tank - and now it goes to legends - It was the only thing making the Armored Warhost appealing to me - because Deepstriking in a Titan equivalent - or Advancing it for 20+ Movement would have been fun :(

Bonesinger, it is a legends model that the Spiritseer kind of replaced. Used to heal Wraith Constructs.

Would the collector's edition be worth it this edition?

[@fishe183]

Oh man I was so excited for skyweavers in windriders host. But they don't get the rule or use of the strats

[@sentinelwex]

I am very excited about the Aspect Host and the Guard Battlehost. How many Dire Avengers will you run? :D I can't decide if 5, 10 or 20 Dire Avengers shall I buy. Yes, I am just starting Aeldari. :)

[@Gladerunner2113]

My suggestion - 15. Three squads of 5, one led by Asurmen. Maximizes the number of Exarchs who take double catapults, and Asurmen with 5 fits right into a Falcon and has great synergy with it.

[@Hobby_Technology]

The combat patrol will come with 10 Dire Avengers so there's a great start!

[@xenosophont]

As a Biel-Tan guy I am very pleased with the Aspect Host...and Dire Avengers...and "The Assman"

[@АртемийГалков-ш7п]

Actually i would rather run 30 fide dragons inside 3 wave serpents. They look extremely powerful (especially in combination with new Spider-lady).

[@BardockEl]

So now we can’t take Avatar of Khaine and Yncarne in the same army?

[@Odinizzzle888]

I don't know how to feel about some of these reveals. The Autarch losing lone operative, the Wraithguard losing devasting wounds and toughness, the Spiritseer losing leader and +1 to hit. Idk, it's just small gripes, but I can't help but feel a little let down

[@holdenchambers3986]

Tbf to the spiritseer one All psykers give wraiths that +1 to hit

[@samuraiscimitar]

The spiritseer change I’d guess is for Wraithlords. Spending a Spiritseer tax to make a Wraithlord not suck was too much, but on a big brick of wraith guard it was worth it. Not you can have a Wraithlord and a squad of wraith guard/blades and that one seer supports them all

[@TwoandaHalfWargamers]

36 Windriders here we come! 🎉

[@nicolasjimenez6546]

So the Shining Spears are the only Aspect Warriors that get no leader? Seems weird, that they are the only ones.

[@XViper123]

I'm confused with Farseer unable to lead Warlock Conclave, but Warlock Conclave still having a "if Farseer is leading this unit" ability. Surely the Farseer being unable to lead is a mistake? Otherwise the only time that rule is ever possible is while both are in a Guardian squad.....

[@quintmarcelis2691]

How do ppl get these so early?

[@GlassedGlass]

Many leaks since the codexes get distributed early to vendors. Naturally many slowly leak them.

[@fateweaver9844]

Reddit

[@erikmazon4587]

So... if eldrad leads a unit of conclave, wich is also a leader unit that can join a unit with another seer... That makes guardians with six psykers, isn't it? Can my leaders have a leader? Can my pet rock have another pet rock?

[@jetvoidweller]

Intial reactions, aspect host seems like the best host. Seer council seems okay same with wraith host. I still wont be taking the grotmas detachment tho lol

[@GeneralJerrard101]

On the Seer detachment: It doesn't seem right to me to say it's where fate dice were moved to, it's only similarity is that you roll dice at the start of the game. Second, at first I was disappointed by the rule, but if it is the 6 date dice, it's you getting to start the game with 6 extra cp, which is kinda scary considering all the trouble starting with cp caused in ninth.

[@DrCthulhuface]

10th ed continues to be the best edition for playability and core rules and the absolute worst edition for the actual game design and list building. So many terrible pigeon-holes in this codex, so many unnecessary restrictions that don't even help balance but just cuck list building. Harlequin datasheets are great but the fact that they are pretty much locked to the one detachment which then has nothing to help any other craftworld units is cringe. The fact that the bike detachment is pretty much just "THE WINDRIDER DATASHEET DETATCHMENT" is cringe. I really hope everyone is behind codex design in 10th ed finds a new job before 11th ed.

[@Rehteal]

Corsairs aren't given access because they're free agents, so to speak. Not aligned with craftworlds, quins, or comorragh, even if they associate with the former three. Despite being battleline, they're thematically more like agents of the imperium. Why do quins and Ynnari get them? Your guess is as good as mine.

[@boyanpenev9822]

They are fine with the Ynnari, the cult accepts all comers. Harlequins... Eh not sure. Perhaps in the fluff the Harlies are helping them.

[@Kalemvir1]

By RAW, warlock skyrunners have the "Warlocks" keyword, not the "Warlock" keyword, so not only can they not receive enhancements, they technically dont receive their own ability, as it states "Warlock" models

[@samuraiscimitar]

Isn’t there an FAQ that plurality doesn’t matter on keywords?

[@mikoajpietrych6168]

@@samuraiscimitar It's not even FAQ. It's just straight up in the core rules.

[@CatroiOz]

"you can still run your halequins in other detachments!" GW said while forgetting to mention that they don't get the keyword to function in other detachments statagems. Also Ynnari is basically an entirely new army that is more akin to a horde army than the supposed super elites of eldars combining together to destroy a God.

[@Noskills]

Harlequins still have Aeldari keyword, which plenty of stuff like stratagems and unit abilities key off of. The Shadowseer can buff wraiths for instance.

[@aguy607]

Guys wraithguard or wraithblades to go with avatar? (Spiritseer with obvs) Not comp player but more just nice list v friends, mix of what is fun and what’s good. Going to run warp spiders 2 prisms 2 guardian squads asurmen lhy avatar and either spirit with guard or blades. Which one is better for a big central push? Tend to be playing v nids with norn, potential for space marines and guard when my mates hopefully back from Ukraine.

[@aguy607]

My main concern is wraithguard seem to be anti large, and with fire prisms and avatar I feel I already have that, with the wraithblades looking better and being tougher, but then against the norn probably won’t help the avatar much in the centre nor against any carnifexes etc whereas wraithblades with invun can hold the objective somewhat and clear warriors or marines better

[@Desolain]

imperial guard gets 3 relatively mid detachments (im not counting the index one as it isnt new) Aeldari with their 7 detachments:

@arrowtt3364 That and very high very reliable damage. Also all you really need is movement if its a game about scoring points on objectives and not a game about killing and surviving.

[@xivkya6882]

I'm still confused about warlock conclaves. Can they still have a farseer? Because I have 8 warlocks (2 full conclaves)

[@derekkorschinowski9294]

Yes, they can. You can attach 4 to a guardian unit as well! So with conclave and farseer guardians get the -1 to wound

[@mikoajpietrych6168]

Not on their own. You need to attach them to other unit that also has a farseer.
