New Player Questions New Eldar player in need of a little help

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a new Eldar player and I’ve honestly fallen in love with the army. The only problem is that I’m finding it very difficult to justify buying the current codex purely for the app code, knowing that a new codex will eventually release during this edition and replace it.

At the same time, I obviously wouldn’t want to ask for a code from somebody who actually intends to use the app themselves.

So I thought I would very politely ask whether anyone happens to own the codex but has absolutely no use for their app code, and would be kind enough to let me redeem it.

I know there are free alternatives available, but I’m just not very comfortable using them and I’m extremely used to the official app from my other factions, for which I’ve bought every codex normally.

Absolutely no pressure whatsoever, of course. I just thought it couldn’t hurt to ask.

Thank you very much!

List Building Craftworld Ailonwé musters to defend the planet Helcaraxë

Post image
Upvotes

I'm just getting ready for the first of an extended weekend of games, battling over the frigid World of Helcaraxë IV.

It is an isolated system on the edge of the Damocles Gulf; Astra Militarum forces have been skirmishing with the Ork raiders and Tau scouting forces in this system, like in many others.

But now a shadow in the warp presages the arrival of the Tyrannic Threat, and the host of Ailonwë steps forth from hidden portals, fearing what the Hive Mind might achieve *(against Asuryani and Mon-Keigh alike)* if it is allowed to claim this poorly defended system's biomass.

For the full might of the Human military is far away, dealing with Chaos incursion and with Leviathan itself, leaving only token forces, and larger Craftworlds turn their eyes to concomitantly greater threats.....

So it is that Astalla Elestirnë, chief Farseer of Ailonwë, rouses the militias and celebrates the coronation of the Young King, hoping to blunt this small tendrils ere it grows to be a mortal peril to her home.

--------

My army is the largest ive been able to field in a while now due to time constraints, so im being a little silly and going for theme; Astalla (Eldrad) leads storm guardians and a conclave, while Yelind (Khar'seth, as a normal farseer) leads a smaller conclave and some defenders. Meanwhile Shining Spears, Warp Spiders and Shroud Runners range forth ahead of the main host, seeking targets for Vaul's Twins to bring their crystalline fury upon, and a small cadre of Voidsreavers, leant at cost from the Stardust Crusaders, prepare their blades.

And above all the molten gaze of the Bloody Handed One burns, seeking to shake his murderous thirst on the enemies of the Eldar.

List Building Is Jurassic Park viable?

1 Upvotes

Obviously this is just an invitation to discuss the recently released rules for Exodites and isn't a yes/no question.

You should be able to field 27 Exodite models in an Aeldari list.

3x groups of 6 Dragon Knights, each group having 1 Clanblade and 1 Stonesinger attached each, and 3x Lone Operative Leystalkers. Thats a lot of Dinos.

What else to complete that list? (Obviously speculation but just for fun)

List Building List help for first tournament

1 Upvotes

So I'm a middle aged player about to play my first ever 40 k tournament. It's a team tournament and I don't want to let the younger players down. I have played other game tournaments like warmachine and Star wars Armada.

The list have I have is basically a lot of wounds to sit on the center and kill stuff with bunch of MSU to do actions take objectives. My only thoughts are the 2 star fangs don't do enough maybe but are great for grabbing objectives. Wondering however should they be a unit of rangers and a second unit of winder riders.

Open to other criticism of the list. I have to be disruption as part of the team and I drew the shirt straw.

The detachment I feel helps stay on objectives and is mainly there to give sticky and to stop long range shooting taking infantry off objective with the odd fall back and grenade. Main use of CP is to overwatch grenades and counter charge threat. List lock Ina couple of hours.

Heres the list. The wave serpents are mainly there as beef or protecting the fire dragons in case of indirect fire or other threats

New Player Questions Advice for New Corsair Player

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a long time 40K player who has just picked up the Aeldari corsairs Battleforce really cheap, and so excited to start my space elf army!

I know they’re very much a steep learning curve, and I’m not looking to chase the meta or even win necessarily - just want to build a cool, thematic space elf pirate army!

I’m really keen to lean into the melee side of it with some Howling Banshees (models I’ve loved since 3rd Ed) and Storm Guardians to support my Corsairs, and try to use their mobility to do hit-and-run attacks - does anyone have any general advice?Also, is Devoted to Ynnead any good? I like the look of the Incubi, wytches and raiders to give me some extra melee options.

Like I said, not looking to metagame, but just want to make that style of list workable and not immediately get tabled 😂

Thanks in advance!

Problem with Spiritseers

15 Upvotes

So after playing 6 games, 2 in 10th and 4 in 11th I have found the fact that the Spiritseer healing triggers at the command phase and not the end of the movement phase really sucks!

Especially if they are paired with Wraithblades. Because the spiritseers don't attach charging them into the same fight as the blades basically is a death sentence. But unless I have positioned perfectly the distance the blades charge puts them outside the 6" range of the healing. And while they are durable being able to return a model before my fight phase is a pretty big deal.

The two enhancements from Spirit Conclave, Kurnous and the Mists at least have 12" range even if they do trigger it on command phase. I wish there was a way to move the Spiritseer after the blades charge. I honestly would love to have bonesingers back or some kind of leader/support for wraiths.

I think Wraiths are pretty decent at the moment with the healing 6" range being the worst issue. The Spirit Conclave rule not really benefiting the wraithguard/blades is another. This is due to their psyker buff being a +1 to hit already instead of an increase to BS/WS like the Lord's is.

I think the healing should be 8" range as that covers a slightly above average charge but still punishes for those extra long greedy charges. Moving it to movement phase would work but removes the ability to add a model to avoid battle shock. Which is honestly a crappy tradeoff with how impactful battle shock can be in 11th.

Changing the wraithguard/blades psyker buff to increase their BS/WS respectively would make getting a token, Ie sacrificing a psyker much more important. I would accept a slight point increase if they got this change too.

Outside of that I am really enjoying them in 11th. I have gone 3-1 in my four games. Barely winning thanks to points and lucky rolls. Preparing for a GT in mid Aug.

What do you guys think?

List Building Question on spirit seer interaction

2 Upvotes

Can a spirit seer with the “Spirit stone of Raelyth” enhancement heal a hemlock wraith fighter twice in one command phase?

I feel like it could since it would have its base ability which allows them to heal a wraith construct once per command phase and the enhancement separately allows them to heal a vehicle once per command phase. Not sure if there’s a ruling that would state otherwise or not though

List Building List Advice

Going into a 2v2 tournament on Saturday and want some advice on a list. Here are the list building rules.

  • No Epic Heroes
  • 500 point limit
  • No single model over 200 points
  • You get paired when the tournament starts.
  • 2DP for detachments
  • Must include a battle line unit

I am torn between Guardian Battlehost and Seer Council. I am a little worried about people bring big shit. In particular I heard about someone bringing a Redemptor Dreadnought. Here is the list I made thus far:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ FACTION KEYWORD: Xenos - Aeldari
+ DETACHMENT: Guardian Battlehost (Defend at All Costs)
+ FORCE DISPOSITION: Take and Hold
+ TOTAL ARMY POINTS: 500pts
+
+ WARLORD: Char1: Farseer
+ ENHANCEMENT: Breath of Vaul (on Char1: Farseer)
+ NUMBER OF UNITS: 6
+ SECONDARY: - Bring It Down: (2x2) - Assassination: 2 Characters
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Char1: 1x Farseer (80 pts): Warlord, Eldritch Storm, Shuriken Pistol, Singing Spear
Enhancement: Breath of Vaul (+10 pts)
Char2: 1x Warlock (45 pts): Destructor, Shuriken Pistol, Singing Spear

11x Storm Guardians (110 pts)
• 6x Storm Guardian: 6 with Close Combat Weapon, Shuriken Pistol
• 2x Storm Guardian with Flamer: 2 with Close Combat Weapon, Flamer
• 2x Storm Guardian with Fusion Gun & Power Sword: 2 with Fusion gun, Power sword
• 1x Serpent's Scale Platform: Close Combat Weapon

1x War Walkers (85 pts): War Walker feet, Scatter Laser, Starcannon
2x Warlock Conclave (55 pts): 2 with Destructor, Shuriken Pistol, Singing Spear
1x Wraithlord (125 pts): Wraithbone Fists, 2x Shuriken Catapult, 2x Bright Lance

I have a box of fire dragons and I am tempted/wondering if I should bring those. I could not afford the 4 warlock conclave so I opted to include a warlock. And I went with the wraithlord as a flex piece (it can be useful both vs infantry or monsters/tanks). So I figured it would be a good piece to just have just in case. I included a war walker, because Guardian Battlehost. I suppose the additional AP would be nice, but atleast it can hit on 2s. I also have some Banshees built and painted, but I have them on the shelf at the moment.

Pictures i made for an small art event i'm making

Me and friend were inspired by 2024's WarpGala created by Mixuen and her friends. We ended up with the brainworms.

It's basically an event where you draw an OC or canon character enjoying a religious festival.

But i thought that just a plain party/celebrity event wouldn't match the Aeldari vibe. So i talked with a few Aeldari loremasters and came up with this "Homebrew Event". Something on the level of a Sanguinala, but clearly an Aeldari event of it's own.

I went the extra mile to make a bunch of drawings and very verbose texts. This shouldn't be just a simple event announcement, It needs to be a gorgeous invitation. (I even made an layout for Q&A!!!!)

(I don't use Reddit that much, idk if this type of post is allowed by the mods, but i really wanted to share this)

I'm trying to go into my next game a bit more prepared (3rd game with eldar overall).

So far I have built this list. With the balance update the list should go down at least 35 point, so I could fit my autarch wayleaper or maybe warp spiders?

I have also another unit of guardian defenders, wave serpent, wraithgaurds/blades/scythes and lords and windriders. But this is the list that looks most cohesive to me.

Opponent isn't set yet, either orcs, guard or thousand sons or tyranids.

Thank you all, appreciate your help.

New Player Questions I'm completely at a loss as to what I should be playing based on what I own after this dataslate

12 Upvotes

Hi guys,

So, 6 months ago, I went all in with eldar, and bought more than 3k points of them : mostly aspect warriors and phoenix lords, but other stuff too (corsairs, vypers...)...however, with how unclear the meta is for eldar, I have trouble making a list I'm satisfied with. Here are a few points to consider:

-I happen to have purchased the warhammer+ special character (the iyanden seer I believe) which I can probably proxy as a seer or a farseer in addition with karsaith that I own too (he's the proxy for the spiritseer in my HQ list, as you probably guessed)

-I have to mention that I didn't buy ANY old model, and therefore avoided buying fire prisms/falcons/wave serpents, in case where they get refreshed this edition. I can always borrow one from a friend in the meantime. In general, when I buy a new faction, I avoid the old models for obvious reasons.

-I will definitely buy 3-6 dragon knight exodites, as they look incredible (who hates dinosaurs)

-I can get warlocks, no issue, but I'll avoid farseer skyrunners and skyrunners in general as they're starting feel a little old-ish to me (don't hate me for saying so please xD). Farseers on foot are "ok", as they're from 2018, which is still recent enough, I'm simply using the infinity's lament as a proxy for now.

-I'm hoping that dire avengers will get a refresh too in 11th edition, so I'm not buying the ones that are 20+ years old (a shame, as I love dire avengers thematically)

Anyways, here's what I own. What would you advise me to build? Thanks a lot
