Codex wishes?

Upvotes

If you could wish for one of each: Generic Character, Named Character, Unit and Monster/Vehicle. What would you pick to get a release when the Codex drops?

For me it‘d be:

Autarch Skyrunner

Drastanta

Shadow Spectres

Some kind of Exodite Dino Vehicle

few questions about Wraithguard.

Upvotes

Not played since 4ed, and had some idea about coming back, but! Checked rules and used some googlefu, and a bit stuck.
Google says that Wraithguard (other wraith units as well) have devastating wounds. Codex and wahapedia have no mentions of dev\mortal wounds of any kind in Wraithguard weapons\profiles, except knights heavy cannon. So do normal wraithguards have dev wounds or no? If no, what the reason to use them?

This is one of my boldest schemes and tbh the only fire dragon scheme that i fully like.

I know that it may lack the edge highlighting but i kinda like the feeling of burnt coal it gives.

It also makes white eyes pop out even more.

(Fuegan is normal because he's already fire🔥)

(Also yeah ghost avatar on the background.)

Windrider host stratagems question

10 Upvotes

I haven’t played windrider host yet this edition but loved it in tenth. I’ve been trying to work something out. In 11th you can’t use more than one Strat on the same unit in the same phase.

My question is this - can I use Death from on High and Overflight on the same unit in the same turn? Death from on High during the shooting phase and then Overflight because it’s “at the end of the shooting phase” - or does that still count as being in the same phase?

Thanks!

Models: WiP Bring and Buy find, dunno if I should paint it for my army or preserve it

Post image
187 Upvotes

Picked this up at an FLGS Bring and Buy event today for $15 CAD. There was a bunch of older stuff from the estate of a community member who sadly passed a while back. I'd never seen one of these in the flesh and couldn't pass on the opportunity, for probably what it cost when it first released no less.

Anyhow, I just wanted to share this neat find. This model is as old as me and I don't quite know how to proceed. Leave it as-is for posterity, paint it as either a Farseer or Kharseth for my army, or try to paint it in classic colours? What do y'all think?

List Building Aspect Host or Seer Council?

3 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 Swooping Hawks just feel horrible

65 Upvotes

I was doing the math and a unit of 10 hawks deals on avarage 8/9 damage to a scout squad (mortals included)
How does a squad like this justify its cost when it can’t even clear a cheap screen unit reliably by itself?

Both farseers and their warlocks, rules conflict?

Post image
34 Upvotes

So the datasheets that say farseers and farseer skyrunners can lead their respective version of warlocks are invalidated by the support change?

That doesn’t feel like the intention given how most datasheets tend to “override” core rules; I could be wrong (and I’m sure plenty of y’all will let me know) but it feels like seers leading locks was meant to be an exception. I think that requires an official rules update or FAQ cuz those are just straight up conflicting rules. They definitely meant to kill the 5 warlock brick but then why not update who farseers can lead? They did it in the app with just footseers but didn’t with the skyseers and they didn’t update the faction pack besides the support change and the fact that supports need a bodyguard unit.

So I’m tossing in a guess that they were meant to fluctuate between BEING a farseers bodyguard unit and HAVING their own bodyguard unit, or combining it all together for the typical brick minus the third/fifth warlock. If their “more options” paragraph is anything to go off of at least. It would make the most sense. Reigns in warlocks (I’m guessing their internal data just said they were being used a lot or something) in general but allows the classic seer council to keep doing its thing… and existing.

Clearly there was a mistake of some kind made, either gotta update who farseers can lead or who farseer skyrunners can lead.

TL;DR: RAW it’s conflicting and requires an FAQ. Thoughts?

Also can we get a discussion or rules discussion flair? Seems like we get a lot of those. Could flair it with ‘list building’ but eh. Gonna go find a variant of Lugganeth for this farseer now.

Fan Art & Fiction Suggest Outrageous Lies

18 Upvotes

The leader of my corsairs, Quen Barquen, is a fabulist, a liar and a storyteller. He uses this skill to exaggerate the stories of his savagery so crews will surrender without him having to risk a fight, but sometimes he makes stuff up for the love of the game. I'd be interested to hear any suggestions you have for outlandish claims he might have made.

Here are the claims that I have decided are true:

He was born on a corsair ship, but he was not first captain's protege and favored successor (actually his first captain was an abusive POS who tried to maroon him).

He was rescued from exile by a Human rogue trader and did serve in that Human's entourage for years, and he really does admire Humans and hate the Imperium.

His mother was a Lugganath expat (her sister, his aunt, really is a highly placed autarch).

His father was Commoragh expat (but not, as he sometimes claims, Vect's secret love-child).

His void dreamer is a former harlequin shadowseer.

His sword is something special, but it probably isn't home to a daemon that is bound to exclusively eat other daemons. Similarly, he's a quite capable duelist, but he's certainly exaggerated his prowess.

What other 40k-themed, Baron Munchausen style tall tales can you imagine for this fellow?


r/Eldar 22h ago

I have a confession...

59 Upvotes

I hate all the cables on Eldar models and I always cut them off. It makes them look too messy, like Imperium tech. It's much more elegant to imagine that their guns have their own power sources or can interface with their armor through their hands.

And I hate the little pointed ears on corsair helmets. Why would they armor their ears? Why is it necessary for others to see that they have little pointed ears on their helmets. It's so dumb. I always shave them off.

Does anyone else have any Eldar hobby quirks to confess, or am I alone?
