Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Aeldari Dice Set

Product Information

As a means of calming their tempestuous emotions and keeping their ancient enemy at bay, most Aeldari devote themselves to specialised Paths, on which they hone one skill, sometimes to the point of obsession. Aspect Warriors are the Aeldari who walk the martial paths. Each Aspect Shrine is built around the teachings of a Phoenix Lord, legendary figures inspired by the various ways the Aeldari god of War, Khaela Mensa Khaine, engaged in battle.

Re-rolling is always strong, and getting to re-roll for your whole army is fantastic, especially since it is f or hits and wounds. New 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Aeldari Datasheets Phantasm- Redeploy up to 3 non- TITANIC u nits before the First Turn begins, for 2CP. Any redeploy ability is great to react to an opening that might present itself should you go first, to counter deploy going second, to allow a safety net in any mistakes you might make, or to react to any of your opponent’s redeploy or pregame moves. Can also be used to put units into Strategic Reserve, giving further flexibility and synergising nicely with the Webway Gate. Whilst you won’t always need to use it, having access to it offers you tons of options. The faction-wide Army Rule for the Eldar will still be Strands of Fate in the next Edition of Warhammer 40k, but will work a little differently than in the current version of the tabletop wargame. Instead of getting Fate dice before the start of each round, you’ll only roll once at the start of the game. The Eldar players can make 12 D6 Strands of Fate rolls, which they can reroll almost indefinitely if they roll one dice less each time – until Fate smiles on them, and they think they rolled good enough (or they only have 1 dice left).

And then some of the stuff here is just baffling. The World Eaters Lord of Skulls going up to an eye-watering 525 points is just insane. Who lost to a Lord of Skulls and decided this was necessary? It’s literally psycho shit. After these awesome rules showed for the Aeldari, the Stratagem revealed by Games Workshop is a bit underwhelming. Fire and Fade won’t change much from the 9 th Edition version, as it will still cost 2 CP, and let’s a unit at the end of the Shooting phase make a normal move – however, it can’t embark on Transports, not even if the unit using the Strat is a Harlequin unit (they can in the current rules). This Stratagem is also very strong, it just doesn’t bring anything new to the table like the other rules and datasheets showcased in the Warhammer 40k Aeldari Faction Focus. Plus, if you do manage to roll twelve 5’s and 6’s, this will be pretty strong. Even some 4’s thrown in there wouldn’t be too bad.

TheChirurgeon: It seems like they’re valuing the Imperial Knights’ re-rolls ability at around 5-10 points per model, which seems low to me. I’d have rather seen a fix to Towering than these point hikes for non-FW stuff but it’s ultimately whatever since Chaos Knights will just run a bunch of War Dogs. The Desecrator might still be playable. As with the other indices, Eldar will come with six unique stratagems. Typical of Eldar play, most of these stratagems focus on movement or capabilities enabled by movement. Most are near direct reflections of a 9th edition predecessor while others have been wholly reworked. What stands out as missing is the capability to Forewarn against reinforcements (you’re fishing for sixes with Overwatch like everyone else), however, I think players will find a lot utility in what they have here. We’ll focus on the two that I think are going to see the greatest amount of use.

Diviners of Fate- Roll an additional D6 for Strands of Fate. This is fine to help fish for the options you want, though it doesn’t allow you to keep any extra so just bear that in mind. Not a terrible choice, especially if nothing else takes your fancy. You can’t take any paid upgrades from the other armies, so no Pivotal Roles or Lords of Commorragh/Favoured Retinues. Speed and precision are the name of the game, as most Aeldari units – from Aspect Warriors to Fire Prisms – can move fast and hit hard, but can’t weather much return fire. Aeldari armies are highly mobile, a specialised scalpel that can bring down a much more powerful opponent by careful application of incredible force. For example, let’s say I rolled four 1s, three 2s, and 5 6s. I would pair four of the results of 1 with 4 of the results of 6, leaving me with three results of 2 and 1 result of 6. Adding those numbers up I get 12. Subtracting 3.5 for each of the four dice I get a final value of -2. My distribution produced a mean value that was 2 less than the population.

Early battles have revealed that the sheer presence of colossal war machines, looming over terrain and decimating vulnerable units, can be exceedingly potent. This holds particularly true for armies fielding towering units like Imperial and Chaos Knights, armed with devastating weaponry. Furthermore, the Indirect Fire ability, employed by units like the Desolation Squad, has proven to be a challenge for many opposing armies to counter. Ynnari look like they rule this time around, both because their marquee units are great, and because the cross-faction interactions are more permissive than they’ve been since early 8th Edition. As anyone who was playing around that time can attest, this can only end extremely well. First turn of combat’ means any rules that trigger when you Charge, are Charged, or Heroically Intervene. Few weapons in the Aeldari’s eclectic arsenal are as iconic or as feared as the prism cannon. A sophisticated firing array focuses a laser through a crystal prism to amplify shots into thin beams of light that lance through tanks or saturated pulses of energy that annihilate infantry. Multiple Fire Prisms can combine Linked Fire to chain beams of light from one prism to another to ensure their prey cannot escape.** explode’ essentially translates to ‘An unmodified 6 to Hit does an additional hit’, so read that as ‘Does 2 Hits instead of 1’. Per the Core Rules, anything that might also happen on a 6 to hit (such as auto-wounding) does not apply to the additional hit, only the original.The Phoenix Plume- A SWOOPING HAWK Exarch gets a 4++, and also grants a 5+++ to their unit. Hawks are already a nuisance to deal with, so giving them a shrug makes them even tougher. Combines well with the Winged Evasion Exarch Power for maximum frustration. Savage Blades- Units get an extra -1AP in the first round of combat. This is decent enough, though really the units that you want in melee already have a high AP already, and the units you don’t want in melee won’t get too much benefit from this in the first place. It’s not terrible, but there’s better melee focused traits. For each ASURYANI unit in a Detachment, you can take a HARLEQUIN , KABAL, WYCH CULT , INCUBI or SCOURGE unit, provided they match the same Battlefield Role. So if you have a unit of GUARDIANS (Troops), you could take one unit of KABALITE WARRIORS, WYCHES or TROUPES . Note you do not get Strands of Fate if you do this, as per those rules every unit must be ASURYANI and the same Craftworld, which by the very nature of including non- ASURYANI units, precludes you from it. This is pretty stupid, so expect it to be FAQ’d eventually. Students of Vaul- VEHICLES get +1 to Armour Saves vs D1 Weapons. I mean it’s fine, and can help prevent annoying chip damage from light weapons, but D1 shots on your tanks is generally the least of your concerns. Dragon’s Fury- A FIRE DRAGON Exarch imposes -2″ to Charge rolls against their unit. A nice defensive upgrade, helping to minimise counter charges given their short range.
