What are your hopes for the Corsairs?

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Always thought the raider and ravager had shippy look to them, so I hope the Corsairs get access to them as well as venoms, but also kinda hope they get access to one or more even more nautically themed vehicles.

Well so far, the corsairs are part of the Eldar codex itself I think the leaks said? If that's the case, then there will be zero chance of pirate boats

Just want them to be good for their points, cos they look fantastic

 

Sisters noviates are expensive garbage for what they are, hopefully not all kill team troops will be as crappy

well the viper at least works lol.

But maybe they’ll get their own little boaties

 

Watching auspex tactics right now and he says one of them does have a DE weapon.

 

I’m not too familiar with elder weapons dark or otherwise, so maybe they can still get access to DE vehicles, also supposedly leaked datasheets show them having the drukhari keyword and no craftworlds keywords.

So maybe they’ll be lumped in with DE instead of normal eldar?

Now we know there will not be any more Corsair units this edition(or at least in the immediate future) how viable would you guys say a Corsair based/themed army would be?

Tricky as they are Elites so you are stuck with running them as a Vanguard detachment. The question becomes what else do you feel fits a Corsair theme? Yriel is an obvious HQ choice but I am not sure what else to include.

 

The squad makes a perfect killteam as it has a little bit of everything (melee, fireopower psychics). In a bigger game its all-round nature may work against it as you won't have dedicated tannk hunters, assault units, Objective campers etc.

one of them can be troops…

I’m not familiar with eldar and all their keywords so I’ll leave that to be gone into more depth by people who know more .

There are two Corsair datasheets: Corsair Voidreavers which are Troops and have a more traditional loadout (Rifles or Pistol&Sword with the option for a couple of Specials and a Heavy weapon), then the Corsair Voidscarred which are the elite version, who have the same options but can also take the specialists like the warp jump guy and the mini-Warlock. The only other datasheet with the Corsair keyword looks like Yriel so you can run a pure-Corsair patrol, but you're locked to Iyanden to do it.
