Brother Noah Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Has anyone looked at our codex power "Shackle Soul" recently? As I see it, it causes enemy units to take leadership tests whenever they are attempting to move, shoot, run, and assault. It also states that if a unit attempts to run and fails its leadership test, that it may not choose to shoot instead and vice versa. While I understand this power could be potentially situational, how does that sound against the upcoming Eldar Codex? This power could potentially ruin the new ability of the Eldar to both shoot and run or run and then shoot in the same phase. They would have to take leadership tests for both. And if they failed the first leadership test, they would be able to perform neither action. As an aside; the power states that units must take a leadership test each time it wishes to shoot, would that include overwatch?

Hmmmm, on the surface would sound good until you remember the Eldar are themselves supposed to be masterful psykers so they always have been good at dealing with psyker shenanigans. It will be an even better bet that the new codex will be chock full of psychic cheese and they'll probably be really good at preventing other armies from getting much use from their own warp smiths Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276169-shackle-soul-and-eldar/#findComment-3383284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

teblin Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Just like real witches, the Eldar look mean and scary, but punch them in the face and they'll still go down like a sack of spuds. ;P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276169-shackle-soul-and-eldar/#findComment-3383417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
