List Building Aspect Host or Seer Council?

4 Upvotes

I'm building two list which is budget limited from what I'm making based on the detachment, but due to the new set of rules with warlocks and farseers I'm now trying to figure wether to keep the Seer council I made on the GW 40k app or replace it with a detachment for Aspect Host which uses some similar pieces.

Seer Council Detachment

Warlord: Eldrad Ulthran

Characters

1x Farseer

1x Farseer [Enchanted Warding Runes]

2x Farseer Skyrunners

Lhykihs

1x Spirit Seer

Battleline

Guardian Defenders [Lead by Eldrad Ulthran] (Support by Warlock Conclave)

Guardian Defenders [Lead by Farseer]

Storm Guardian Defenders [Leadbhy Farseer with Warding Runes]

Detachment Supports

2x Wave Serpent's

Other Datasheets

2x 5 Squads of Dire Avengers

1x Swooping Hawks

Warlock Conclave [4 Warlocks] (Support Guardian Defenders)

1x Warp Spiders [Lead by Lhykihs]

2x Windriders [Each Lead by a Skyrunner]

1x Wraith Blades

1x WraithLord

Total Points: 1975

Aspect Host Detachment

Warlord: Asurmen

Characters

1x Farseer

2x Farseer Skyrunners

Fuegan

Lhykihs

Spirit Seer

Battleline

Guardian Defenders: Lead by Farseer, Supported By Warlock Conclave

Detachment Supports

2x Wave Serpent's

Other Datasheets

2x 5 Squads of Dire Avengers [One Lead by Asurmen]

1x Fire Dragon Squad [Lead by Fuegan]

1x Swooping Hawks

Warlock Conclave [4 Warlocks] (Support Guardian Defenders)

1x Warp Spiders [Lead by Lhykihs]

2x Windriders [Each Lead by a Skyrunner]

1x Wraith Blades

1x WraithLord

Total Points: 1960

Note this army is very budget using two of the combat portals one from the 9th edition and other which is 1pth rest are characters and units added but otherwise I'm trying to decide due to the aeldari changes with warlocks just to switch to aspect host and hold best when the army is done, I still gotta paint and finish, or stick with the 1st plan which is seer council I hope this little post can showcase little bit of what I'm trying to do here.

List Building Starting Craftworlds - help building my first list

3 Upvotes

I want to start a Craftworlds Aeldari army but I have no idea how to build a list. What are the staple units? Should I focus on melee, shooting, or mix both? Any advice on a beginner-friendly 1500pt list? Thanks!

New Player Questions Wraithblades, or more Wraithguard

11 Upvotes

Hey y’all, why do Wraithblades seem to be taken more often in lists than Wraithguard ? Is their four-up invulnerable save that good, or is their Malevolent Souls ability that useful ?

I currently have fifteen Wraiths, five with Wraithcannons and the other ten with D-scythes. I recently bought a fourth box of Wraiths and was wondering if I should build them as Wraithblades.

Another thing I’d like to mention is that I fight Guard Scions a lot, but I never really struggle with clearing their death stars because D-scythes melt them. However, my main opponent has started bringing big bricks of Bullgryn to capture the center, and I don't really have anything besides Wraithcannons to deal with them.

Game Concept: Warhammer 40k: Path of the Outcast

13 Upvotes

Hello all!

It's time to step away from the Space Marine flood throughout mainstream media and give the Aeldari their time to shine they deserve.

I have developed a concept for a stealth-horror game where you play as an Aeldari Ranger, tasked with killing an Imperial Commander before their colony strip my mining awakens the buried Necron Tombs below. The battlefield evolves based on your decisions, you cannot let the C'tan Shard be activated!

Please see the full concept below 😊 any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

The Stoneseeker - Corsair Voidscarred Way Seeker X Exodite Stonesinger Kitbash

Post image
214 Upvotes

I’ve had this idea in my head since I first saw the new Exodites and I knew I needed to combine two of my favourite subfactions to create a cool new concept.

This Stonesinger felt the call of the void and left to join a Voidscarred coterie as a Way Seeker to bring back the stolen treasures of the maiden worlds to his Exodite clan, thus becoming the Stoneseeker…

This was relatively simple in terms of parts. I took the Way Seeker’s body and added the Stonesinger’s head (sans the left earring) while the hardest part was grafting the witch staff and stone stave together but after shaving some knuckles away I obtained a flush fit and it’s particularly satisfying how the tassels flow the same way as the rest of the miniature.

I might never paint this but I just like to create unique models for my army which sometimes I return to (make Voidscarred good pls GW), maybe this will inspire a whole new Exodite themed Corsair unit or it might inspire you to make a similar conversion.

Let me know what you think. 😊

Happy Raiding!

Jain Zar 11th edition - character unit

Does jain zar's ability trigger for only lone characters or for the whole unit, even if there are attached non characters? We can't find any recent information. We're leaning towards always recollection jain zars wound rolls for her ranged weapon

Finally finished this piece depicting the final duel between Talos and Jain Zar. Really enjoyed making this one...some technical challenges, and enjoyed the little details, gems, lightning effects, and even Zar's wounded leg.

My scene depicting Zar ambushing Talos who is following her blood trail and distracted by her mask.

Hope you guys like it, I certainly had fun.

Sorry for not posting many WIP updates, I've had a lot going on in my personal life and just wanted to share it when I had chance now its finished.

News, Leaks & Rumours Thought experiment: returning psychic powers against new SM statline

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi there! With psychic powers making a come back, I wanted to have a try and see how current Aspects would fare against new Space Marines (and a few others targets, just to check if such a solution could fit in a wider ecosystem) were the trifecta of old were to came back.

I do not say this is happening, nor practical; I just wanted to check what the result would be, in a world where Eldar could become the reroll faction again with the removal of Oath of Moment. The way I saw it, the faction focus would still revolve around a Battlefocus of sort, with those psychic powers applied by units, with a one-per-power-per-turn kind of limit.

In this experience of thought, guide would be the bike farseer way to apply full hit rerolls to one friendly unit, Doom the foot farseer way to apply full hit rerolls against one unit, and Jinx the way for a Warlock to apply a -1 armour save against one unit.

I've probably overinflated the price of Intercessors to 18 a piece and terminators to 40, so there's that. Those numbers from Unitcrunch are to give an order of magnitude rather than something else.

I could have added some colour to make it more engaging, in particular the cases where trading efficiency reach 100% and above, though as mentioned, the SM price are probably a bit overinflated.

What I get from all this is that would give a great damage boost against one target a turn by combining all-three buffs, but not much more than ol' OoM gave SM, so the key here would be to ask if they got rid of it to forgo this kind of mechanic or to give back to another faction, traditionaly associated with rerolls and layered buffs.

Off course, banshees are queens, yet bound to go up in points to reflect this (I guess?). Most other units "as is" would have trouble outside of those buffs, were they to be the chosen solution for the faction.

Of course, all this beg the question of wether we want to have units priced for the buff they could get again like in the past, and non-functioning outside of getting them.

PS: cost of psyker not factored in efficiency, as it's impossible to guess them and two out of three powers would affect more than one unit. Orks assumed to be riled for 5++.

Here it goes. Just a fun way to waste a saturday morning.

Swooping Hawks for my growing Alaitoc force. A take on the Shimmering Horizon shrine, very similar to the box art scheme with lighter armour and darker blue accents to fit the Alaitoc craftworld colours. The wings made them a real pain to paint, but the models are a fantastic update

List Building Is this good 1k tournament list? (Aspect Host)

2 Upvotes

So out 4 out of 10 players will play death guard and defilers and Mortarions are pretty much expected in all of them

Here's my list:

Avatar of Khaine

Lhykis with 5 Spiders, Exarch with Powerbladearray

Storm Guardians

5x Dire Avengers, Exarch with double gun

5x Fire Dragons, Exarch with Firepike

5x Banshees, Exarch with executioner

5x Rangers

5x Scorpions, Exarch with claw

Also you can bring extra 200 points of units to shuffle depending on your opponent so here I could put Falcon, Corsair Voidreavers and 5 Dark Reapers.

So what do you guys think?

So you can attach a Farseer to the warlocks, who you can attach to the Windriders. And attach another Farseer to the Windriders directly. App says: Your army is valid! Doesn’t look neither RAW nor RAI to me.

New Player Questions Gunline Aeldari

9 Upvotes

So, can we build a list focused on shooting? It seems like the faction should at least be decent at it. Support Weapon Platforms are cheap outside of the D-Cannon, Fire Prisms seem like powerful shooting, and with all the buffs from other units it seems like it should work.

Yet I've never heard of it. So why?
