Yup. New jetbikes, new autarch clampack, new codex (could be a supplement, its just called Codex Eldar: Craftworlds), and apparently a new jetbike farseer called a Skyrunner. So, lots of stuff to make banging Saim-Hann army.
I'm sure we'll start seeing leaks of this weekend's WD with pics like...this afternoon or tomorrow.

Top Banana! (and all that)
Looking forward to them replacing old 2nd/3rd Ed sculpts. If the new avatar looks good, I might get one just for S&Gs.
I imagine it'd be just a supplement book (like they have for Iyanden, etc).
Skyrunner, huh? mmmmmm............

No avatar buddy, and no resculpts of aspect warriors either. Just new jet bikes and what we're assuming is the farseer on jetbike kit. Sorry dude!

And just last week, I got the Psychic Powers cards in the mail from the UK.... Oh, well...
Latest rumors also have an Autarch on a "skyrunner" too. I was really hoping for some redone aspects.

So what we know for sure, based on the GW manager's pricing list that leaked, is: Codex LE Codex Plastic clampack Farseer Skyrunner Plastic Box set Windriders Plastic clampack Autarch Finecast Box (direct only) Shining Spears Finecast Box (direct only) Autarch Skyrunner So my guess is that the shining spears and autarch skyrunner are basically replacing the old style bikes with the new style bikes, but then including the old finecast upgrade bits for both the autarch and the shining spears. The farseer is a new kit, the windriders are a new kit, and so is the Autarch but that's all we're getting for this release. Based on the redirect links that have been found, there isn't another week of Eldar from what it looks like. AdMech proper are supposedly coming after this one week eldar release, then fantasy 9th in May. There was a single redirect that found an Avatar page, but it was found out to be the FW avatar redirect page, as FW is going to be moving over to GW's site (as admitted by GW themselves).  |

Can't wait, if they rebalance the codex to 7th as they have been doing it will completely change the way the game is playing

Guy who saw the white dwarf (but didnt take pics, so grain of salt), says that the new jetbikes are even better looking than the reavers, which is going ot be awesome. Also said the farseer skyrunner is amazing, and can't wait to paint one despite not playing eldar, which is also a plus.
He says the fluff bits in the WD make it sound like Eldar are going to lose the ability to use Daemonology to summon, only sanctic, eldar powers, telepathy, divination. He also says it sounds like the Wave Serpent is going to take a nerf to the shield, making it much more of a defensive tool than an offensive one.
Fingers crossed, that would be amazing. Bye bye wave serpent spam, bye bye eldar jetseers summoning daemons. Suck it.

No WD leaks yet...but newest rumors from people who have "seen the WD" (salt on salt), claim that the wraithknight is now a gargantuan creature, and its weapons (both CC and heavy wraith cannons) are D weapons. Likelihood of it moving to Lord of War, pretty high I'd say if that rumor is true. Shame, multi-wraithknight armies are so fun!
Jetbikes are, apparently, unchanged - so still 3+ save despite the harlie jetbikes being moved to a 4+ save.
Eldar Warhost detachment - requires 3 "guardian hosts", which can be either Guardian squads, Ulthwe Storm Guardians, or windrider guardians. Apparently, depending on which one you use, different special rules are unlocked to create a customized craftworld force - ie, if you take 3 windriders, you get saim hann special rules. If 3 storm guardian squads, ulthwe rules are unlocked. Etc etc. Would guess that, if that is true, then other unlocks would be in as well - if you take rangers, you unlock Alaitoc; one of each aspect, unlock Biel Tann; take wraithguard, unlock Iyanden, etc. We'll see.
Really pretty interesting; with GW trying to shy away from the "special unlocks" in army construction, I'd be surprised to see the detachment shift like above. But, hopefully with WD leaks sometime today, we'll know for sure soon.

Boom baby!!! Autarch clampack:  Warlock Skyrunner - bits for both farseer jetbike and warlock jetbike in the Skyrunner clampack:  New windrider kit - the Jes Goodwin sculpt from 2008 is finally here!  More to come I'm sure - but here's the skivvy on the rest of the leaks: Jetbikes can take scatter lasers now - no more TL with a scatter laser hit, which will change a few things in the book. Each model can take either a scatter laser or a shuriken cannon in exchange for its TL shuriken catapults. Decurion style detachment: 1-3 guardian hosts required 0-3 Regent of the Warhost (farseers, autarchs, seer councils, living legends (avatar, phoenix lords)) 1-12 per detachment of various formations (very similar to Decurion formations - combos of various units that have a similar battlefield role) Various examples of the types of formations available: - Dire Avenger Shrine (dire avengers) - Aspect Host (various aspect units) - Wraith Constructs (wraith lords, wraith knights) - Wraith Host (wraith guard, spirit seers) - Engines of Vaul (falcons, night spinners, fire prisms) - Crimson Death (flyers) - Outcast Host (rangers, pathfinders) SO, from what it sounds like, you'll be able to take minimum gaurdians or bikes in order to unlock the cool extras, but likely will have to take some of the lesser-played extras in order to play the models you want. Ie, you can take 2 wraithknight formations, but each includes 2 wraithlords, so there's a tax, etc. The book is 160 pages, so its an official replacement for the current Eldar dex. Next week is going to be a VERY expensive week for me, again. Fuck. |
