Aeldari Reveal November 2024 40k Worlds

[@malloc7108]

finally, I've been avoiding buying warp spiders for literally 25 years

[@byrongotcha]

A bunch of reveal info you left out: -Fire dragons can take dragon breath flamers -Fire dragons new rule full reroll hit wound and damage on monsters/vehicles -Swooping hawks new rule dropping grenades for mortals. Losing uppy downy. -baharroth will give uppy downy. -Strands of fate will be removed as army rule. Replaced with battle focus. Strands of fate will be the detachment rule for seer council. -Warp Spider exarch rule is allows spiders to charge after flicker jumping.

[@PartNinja]

In the live stream they stated spiders still have flicker jump. New Phoenix lord supposedly lets them flicker jump and charge. The quad blade exarch supposedly gets 10 attacks so would pair well with the new Phoenix Lord.

[@MrGeneralHeavy]

As a necron player, I'm so happy that you guys get cool new stuff. OUR BATTLES WILL BE LEGENDARY!

[@accountnamewithheld]

Baharroth really got a glow up, the new aspects look amazing as well

[@etrecklefrancois2792]

The Warp Spiders and their new Lord look fantastic. Very exciting. I agree no Karandras is kind of strange given the scorpion refresh with kill team. Also agree falcon and fire prism look timeless, but i would appreciate a new war walker kit myself. Or some plastic version of old Forge models. Cheers.

[@Cliffjumper24]

I actually like the War Walkers... but it'd be nice to see some new Dire Avengers in the future. Hving bought a second unit during 9th, they don't go together half as well as the modern Guardians, etc. Yes, it's be nice to see a Hornet, or even a plastic Warp Hunter, or even a Revenant Titan!

[@markdorn8873]

@@etrecklefrancois2792 Plastic Hornet, Lynx, Scorpion, Cobra would all be fantastic!

[@jonesdan85]

Eldar have always had amazing models. The Falcon Grav Tank is still my favorite model of all time, and that was out when I was a kid, 24 years ago. I still look at it and marvel at it. And the Wave Serpent. Just impeccable, and unmistakingly Eldar.

[@AlamoMelt]

Oh, and Wish Listing - a Great Harlequin model would be fantastic.

[@Frankacy40k]

Many months ago, there was a rumor circulating that all Phoenix Lords had resculpts aside from Karandras, because he simply was “forgotten” in the shuffle. At the time it sounded ridiculous, but after seeing today’s reveals, it looks like it was true.

[@steffenaustralia]

I assume Karandras will be coming together with an end of 10th edition novel.

[@samhunter1205]

It might take a while, I think the time delay from them starting to sculpt a model to it actually being on sale is years so if they did forget him we might not see him for some time.

[@steffenaustralia]

@@samhunter1205 is there any evidence that he was forgotten? I think this is pure speculation

[@samhunter1205]

@steffenaustralia not hard evidence, but sources who confirmed the warp spider Phoenix Lord some time ago also claimed that Karandras had been forgotten. Now just because they were right about the Warp Spider Phoenix Lord doesn't necessarily mean they are right about this, but I would say it looks likely. They have shown off every single other Aspect and Phoenix Lord outstanding for an update, including Asurmen who is not being released alongside his Aspect. Edit: in other words it is more than just speculation, it is based on assuming the ongoing reliability of a source that has so far been entirely reliable.

[@alasdairgardner3317]

24 years same models for me, best value for money 💰 ever lol. So excited about the new models

[@michalanz2612]

8 detachments, 7 are named! 6 in article: war host, aspects, bikes, seers, harlequins and Ynnari. The guy in the live video said wraith construct one too. This is amazing, im so hyped and super curious about the last one - sneaky or Corsair one possibly? I hope all are well balanced and fun to play!!

[@Cliffjumper24]

The new Boarding Actions book is really cool, but I was really disappointed to discover the Corsairs aren't in any of the Aeldari detachments... which is suprising on two fronts. 1: GW released a 'Boarding Patrol' boxed set, with two units of Corsairs, and 5 Banshees led by Jain Zar. 2: Corsairs = PIRATES!! What better for a themed Boarding Patrol!!!

[@Saieden]

The last one is 100% Strike Force

[@accountnamewithheld]

we're so fucking BACK

[@KamilPMalicki]

We finally got it! A few years ago, I returned to Warhammer and noticed the same Eldar models still in use.

[@FeatsDaily]

They mentioned the 4 power blade Warp Spider Exarch is going to have a whopping 10 attacks. Add in the PL, letting them charge after the 24” flicker jump and they can blast one target then charge another. This isn’t speculation. They said you could do exactly that. Depending on strats, it could go off.

[@davidfeline5850]

My heart is singing but my wallet is crying. Such beautiful, beautiful space elves. Lhykis is AMAZING 😍. Baharroth is just fabulous 😍...

[@ricbo358]

Most of my aspect warriors are from the 90's. About time for new models

[@cylondorado4582]

Yeah, I’m gonna have to pick up all these eventually. Edit: I did used to like having a Dark Reaper Exarch with a regular reaper launcher back in 4E, since I liked how it was cheaper and he hit on 2+. But now that they all cost the same, I can see why you wouldn’t want to ever take a worse weapon.

[@GusMortis]

At these prices, you will be able to collect them all in 25 years before the next redesign.

[@cylondorado4582]

@ That or, you know, a box every couple of months.

[@PartNinja]

The 8th detachment will be a "path of the exile" detachment which would be the sealthy alaitoc and corsair detachment. The xmas advent calendar may include a 9th detachment as well.

[@bobfrancis123]

Lhykis is Aeldari for "Oh god my wallet is crying". WHAT A MODEL! And they did by boy Asurmen justice with the resculpt. I'm curious what the other detachment rules are going to be since Strands of Fate are going to "Ulthwe" or "Council of Seers." It sounds like Move Shoot Move is going to be the new Eldar army rule which could be ridiculously keen. As for remaining Space Elves to update, the Fly-Taurch who can't be modeled with its various load outs and especially the Bike-Taurch both need resculpts. I am truly excited for the new Spiders and yeah... GW is gonna take a lot of my monies next year.

[@Cliffjumper24]

Indeed.... I never realised what Asurmen's face looked like because the ancient metal model was a bit of a blobby casting!

[@bobfrancis123]

@Cliffjumper24 Yeah, the only thing I'm kinda "bummed" about is I'm about to retire my kitbashed Asurmen I made out of spare DA and Wraithblade bits. I played him in an RTT back in 9th v Smurfs and Asurmen in turn 5 took down Girlieman and a Dreadnought by himself to swing me the win. So yeah, I really love that guy.

[@Cliffjumper24]

@@bobfrancis123 Wow, that's a cool deathcount for a single model!!

[@Sealbag]

Flicker jump + charge with phoneix lord and 10 attacks on the exarch with quad blades is gonna be nasty AF

[@Cliffjumper24]

I bet we'll see 8 attacks... as in the number of legs spiders have!! Heh heh!!

[@Cliffjumper24]

I'm sooo pleased to see this announcement!! With the exception of a couple of models (Yreil and Illic), it makes pretty much the entire Aeldari range a plastic one... which is definately about time because things like the Warp Spiders date back to 1992!! Like you, I was expecting a plastic Karandras... but maybe (hopefully) that'll be a one-off release mid to late 2025. I've always loved Karandras, so I'm chomping at the bit for a new model!! Thinking a few years into the future, and a 11th Ed release, I can imagine Corsairs getting more of a themed release to expand the rarities in the Space Elves. Perhaps we'll see more Corsair kits and Exodites, in the same way we've had a fully Kroot themed release this year for the Tau Empire. Maybe Exodites could be a Kill Team release, and a Corsair command unit and vehicle/vehicles to compliment them. I can imagine Exodites/Corsairs fitting in a 9th Detachment in the same manner as we've seen with the Inquisitorial Agents, which combines Breachers, Rogue Traders, Arbites, etc into a book of their own. I can imagine a 11th Ed system, where we see a Craftworlds Codex, and a seperate Harlequin/Ynnari/Corsairs/Exodites Codex to build more esoteric themed units and detachments. Whatever the case, in the short term, we have come really cool models to paint, and for those who never took the leap into metal/resin... theres going to be fun new gameplay strategies to explore!!

[@eldenwarden9673]

And from the webway she returns!!

[@KyraCinderwing]

They did mention that the quad blade spider exarch gets 10 attacks in melee. Sounds like a cool combo with Lhykhis

[@juiciestknives4992]

Wow! I sure am excited! Just started collecting and painting warhammer and chose aledari/ynnari to build. Very cool about them getting their own detachment rules!

[@toysforthetoygod2671]

[@djc1376]

Awesome am getting them all my eldar army has been waiting a millennia for reinforcements

[@craigrobbins2463]

That's really ,k really cool. A new Barrorath and copmletely new PL is right up there in my most anticipated stuff list.

[@malloc7108]

I think we'll see corsairs fleshed out only if and when we get a unified Vyper, Venom, and Starweaver model. Not necessarily in the same box, but just that the three are obviously supposed to be the same general platform, but they're wildly different sizes and the vyper is very... 90s. I get Vypers were originally attack bike analogs, but that's kind of where things went over the next 20ish years of lore and model evolution.

[@BielTanThom]

I'm really happy with all the new models, they look great! I like to take my time with painting, so if I get all the Eldar stuff I want it'll keep me going for ages!

[@FangofFate]

Wow, I sure am excited! Also it was stated in the livestream that Strands of Fate is moving to the Seer Council detachment, and Aeldari as a whole are getting Battle Focus as a way to focus on maneuverability. They don’t say what exactly that means (and I hope it’s not as busted as the old Battle Focus) but I’m excited to be able to play into the speed of the elves!

[@smoothgarak9537]

Absolutely fantastic reveals, and now i dont have to pretend my autarch is a PL without being in the Spider Squad ha. I do hope in the new dex they allow the Autarch with either wings or jump pack to join the relevant squad, i think they missed that last time. Fantastic sculpts all round and a great release. Fate dice i am happy with losing apart from Spirit Seer Det, as it really is seen as toxic by the oppo. Apparently Karandras was forgotten, supposed to be released along side the Kill Team Scorps but will be released along side the Codex.

[@Cliffjumper24]

I've said similar things given how Autarch's have walked all the paths or war. An Autarch Skyrunner should be able to lead some Shining Spears... Warp Jump Generator fitted ones with a Death Spinner joining Spiders, Fusion Gun Autarch's joining Fire Dragons. It would give them a much bigger theme, and encourage sales for more Autarch kits!

Looking forward to models being in stock again. But still very nostalgic for the old models. Also just like the feel of picking up a metal model.

I agree I think the tank chassis are fine and wouldn't hate a Vyper update. I'd want to see a Wraithseer frankly. I am stoked that the three aspect warriors are getting updated though. I only recently started collecting and have been holding out picking up the older models praying they'd get an update.

[@michaelcowan725]

I'm not sure if you caught the reveal video, but they dropped a few rules hints: - Dragons can ALL have flamers. I would hope that they are good flamers. Apparently the axe is srs bsnss. They specifically said they get full rerolls - though not the scenario that occurs in. - Swooping hawks will likely get flyover mortals back, and Baz will give them uppy downy which is good because 120pts for shoot and scoot feels bad. - Warp spiders Phoenix lord will allow them to charge after flicker jump. This makes the melee Exarch potentially a real play if the lord is also a big clapper in combat. Across the board I think we can expect increases on dragons, everything else is in the air. Would be surprised if the Warp Spider Exarch is the highest cost yet. Of course it's all without the context of detachment rules - speaking of - fate dice is going to be a detachment rule, and battle focus will become the army rule. If it's shoot and scoot like 9th, that is very good. It will be nice to have an army rule that I don't get taxed on left, right and center. Given the scope of the changes I wouldn't be surprised to see some very specific rule changes (like maybe the exarch's loadout may change the special rules of the unit).

[@adamshumate8858]

Why wouldn’t they play it safe? The aesthetics of these units are already iconic and fantastic. They don’t need to reinvent them, just modernize them and improve the posing and scale.

[@stephen_langdon]

@adamshumate8858 it's just my personal opinion at the end of the day is all 🤷‍♂️ I've seen them take chances with other Aspects over the years, but Hawks and Dragons have always been pretty stable, and this is only the Spiders' second outing after all 😅 The Hawk Helmets have always just felt like they lack something, and need to see the wings in person before I can decide on those The Dragons armour feels like it should be slightly more ornate, but just a little more, like a scale design on the shoulder or greaves, maybe And the spiders would have looked epic with maybe little cracking webs coming off them representing the warp jump like the phoenix lord, but very small scale

[@Grishnag85]

@@stephen_langdon The fire dragons should really look a bit thicker than the other aspects since lore wise they have the thickest armour of all the aspects, which sadly is not reprisented in game.

Feeling gluttonous today with this beautiful announcement.

[@oodlesofnoodles4660]

My first aspects were warp spiders (made of lead) and got the exarch when the new tin alloy was introduced. They were an abosulte terror on 2nd ed tabletops. I then also got the original swooping hawks and later some finecast versions of the updates which I thought were abysmal (obviously not Jes Goodwin's work). After plastic Jain Zar was released I sold all of those about 2 years ago along with some rogue trader-era harlequins knowing that everything would eventually become plastic. I only kept my Dire Avengers which were already plastic and because I have a thing for tall crested helms. I've had to summon the patient fortitude of an Autarch waiting for this release but I have since grown fond of my aspect-free Alaitoc army full of rangers and jetbikes. I'll get Asurmen but I can't decide if the new swooping hawks are better than the warp spiders. Either way my wallet will be skinny when these go live.

[@ZardVark1337]

Hell yeah Warp Spiders have always been my favorite aspect finally got a lord! I kinda hope she is a lone operative tbh.

[@jdrobertson42]

BTW, I’m pretty sure the “new” exarch options for hawks and spiders are the weapon options that were added in the 4th edition codex but never got a mini because those squads never got a refresh. The new swooping hawk gun may not end up being called a “sun rifle” but it clearly fits the same role as a high rate of fire option. I fully expect the new warp spider gun to be called a “spinneret rifle” and to be a higher-strength choice. Also, didn’t the very first fire dragon exarch model have an axe? That’s before my time, but also feels like reaching back to the history of the squad. AFAIK, all these options come from old Jets Goodwin concept art, which is cool.

[@ianabel5937]

This is a total "shut up and take my money" moment. I run Ulthwe but I still want some of all of these aspects on my shelf. Also gives me really good vibes for if/when they do shadow spectres again. The models here are just all beautiful.

[@ltGargoyle]

I would love Corsairs. ill 3d print warp effects for the warp spiders. I am not sure how excited i am. I should be. but i have not played since 10th dropped. so its hard to get truly excited. i will buy one of each squad to have the models for my massive collection.

[@danielmartinezmartinez441]

Great models. Waiting for Karandras to show up and also I think the dire avengers require a renewal too I heard rumours about the new aeldari combat patrol: it will have guardians, a spiritseer, wraithblades and warp spiders. These are still rumours, but are Valrak's rumours so highest chance to become true

[@xenosophont]

17:05 one of the presenters in the reveal video said that the Warp Spider Exarch can make 10 Attacks on the charge. I'm guessing that would be the 4 powerblades loadout Thri-Kreen style ;) They also said that the Phoenix Lord allows them to charge after performing a Flickerjump move when they normally wouldn't be allowed to. 17:20 I think that "super Death Spinner weapon" is supposed to be a Spinneret Rifle.

[@andrewblock5339]

As it stands, you are correct; giving melee weapons to a squad Exarch is useless unless the squad in question is consists of melee-oriented Aspect Warriors (Howling Banshees, Shining Spears, Striking Scorpions). In my mind, what giving an Exarch a melee weapon is meant to do is to ensure that the squad doesn't get rolled in melee, but the implementation is poor because they will die before they ever get to use it if they are charged due to the squishiness stereotypical of the faction. What I think needs to happen is that all Aspect Warrior units should have Fights First innately. Aeldari are supposed to have greater reflexes and speed than Astartes, so it wouldn't be entirely without precedence. Lets take Dire Avengers as an example; the Dire Avenger Exarch can either get a Diresword (A3, WS 3+, S4, AP -2, D1, Devastating Wounds) or a Power Glaive (A3, WS 3+, S5, AP -2, D1). Every Aspect Warrior unit has some type of melee weapon such as this that their Exarch can receive, and this would allow them to take out some attacking models to potentially mitigate losses in the Fight phase. I personally would like to see the statlines buffed for Exarch melee weapons. Using the Dire Avenger Exarch as an example again, I think the statlines should be closer to the following: Diresword (A5, WS 2+, S4, AP -2, D1, Devastating Wounds) Power Glaive (A3, WS 2+, S5, AP -2, D2) This would add more distinction to the two melee options and it wouldn't be too strong by any stretch. Exarchs are legendary warrior in their own right who have completely mastered their particular Aspect; they should be hitting on a 2+ in melee and ranged unless they have a uniquely large and cumbersome weapon (which should be compensated for with increased strength such as seen with the Scorpion's Claw wielded by Striking Scorpion Exarchs. This would really give players a reason to choose something other than the extra gun on their range-oriented Aspect Warrior Exarchs, and it would make opponents have to genuinely consider whether it is worth the losses to charge the squad. It isn't like Aeldari are durable, so you'd still be able to take them out with the Bolt Pistols on your Assault Marines. I understand there could be concern of how much of a combat buff this could be for the more melee-oriented Aspect Warriors, but the three I mentioned above are the weakest Aspect Warriors that are currently available; they could each stand to receive a buff. As for how you would compensate Howling Banshees for no longer have Fights First reserved exclusively for them, I think they should instead receive an ability (and this is the same ability that the Autarch would get if they have a Howling Banshee Mask) that prevents enemy units within 9" of the Howling Banshee unit from being targeted by Stratagems used by the opposing player. This would prevent Overwatch and I believe it's more applicable than Battleshock; they aren't making you run away, they're merely dazzling you with their acrobatics and their screams while they get the drop on you. Oh, the Fights First thing should also apply to Autarchs and Phoenix Lords.

That Baharoth is going to make a great Autarch when you put a Banshee Mask on him and a Dragon Fusion Gun! Sad we got Scorpions but no Karadras.

I'm so excited to finally get spiders and hawks into my lists I did not want to buy the resin models, I will probably end up with more than one of each of these aspect squads and every phoenix lord

[@AlexJaneway]

I am indeed excited, be nice to get some vehicles, but getting all the aspects out of finecast is a big deal.

Waited so long for this moment, and everything was better than I could've hoped for. I literally cried while watching the video the first 3 times. Also I miss scatter dice 😊

[@Cliffjumper24]

Did you ever tru dropping a Monofiiament Web from a brand new model of the Night Spinner, onto a swarm army, with the template hole over one unit, and hope it didn't scatter off a second unit right next to it, so two units were effected? I did this in a 5th Ed game with three units of 30 Ork Boys heading my way. There were so many, it was impossible not to land on something. You hoped it's be a hit, or the arrow was only deflected slightly with a low roll. In my game it was a Hit... so 60 boys were forced to make a difficult terrain test (slowing down their progress) if they moved.... AND had to take a Dangerous Terrain Test, meaning for ever '1', a model just died. With 60 dice to roll... it was just plain brutal!!

I think those Swooping hawks will look nice with my Ishanites Eldar, Warpspiders as well. Have no use for the rest as my Fire Dragons are made from a different kit with a Exodite vibe.
