Aeldari rules update 2/5/25

Looks like the MFM, balance dataslate, FAQ, and imperial armour got an update today. 

Best I can tell for changes(correct me if wrong) is all for eldar. The MFM has points updates, balance dataslate removed eldar rules, imperial armour reduced to titan units.

My list went up by ten points, so I'll have to reconfigure some things once NewRecruit updates.

No fix for Ynnari transports which is frustrating.

The FAQ tidies up a few problems the codex had with Warlocks:

• Farseers can attach to a Warlock Conclave (just like Eldrad)
• The Warlock Conclave and Warlock Skyrunners are no longer characters. They can each be attached to Storm/Defender Guardians and Windriders respectively (similar to how Support Weapons can attach to Guardian Defenders).
• This means you can attach a Farseer and Warlock Conclave to a squad of Guardian Defenders or Storm Guardians. I think most people already assumed this (and I know Goonhammer had seen the  FAQ already and stated it was the case). You can also still attach a Support Weapon and (weirdly) a Warlock character.
• You can also now attach a Farseer Skyrunner and Warlock Skyrunner(s) to a Windrider unit. 

There's a few other minor (and expected) changes. You can't re-embark a unit that's in engagement range using the stratagem in the Aspect Host, Baharroth and his unit can only deep strike within 6" instead of 3" (in line with the general change to the rules from a couple of months ago) and Ynnari Venoms don't allow you to continuously split the same unit (not sure anyone had even thought of doing this).

For someone that knows Aeldari better than me, did you guys have access to more imperial armour units before this update? Or are my suspicions true and you lost a bunch of stuff and have been reduced to 2 titans?

I think they could've knocked the Death Jester down like 20 points with zero issues to be honest.

Seems to have happened to all armies with a Codex. I know that Tyranids lost the two Hierodules, but I'm not certain about the others.

Warseer, Shadow spectres, Shadow spectre phoenix lord, the scatacach(?) wraithknight and a bunch of grav tanks are gone.

[Karhedron]

Why can't GW figure out that the Ghostglaive is the worst option for the Wriathknight? They have jacked the price up so it is not much cheaper than the shooty Wraithknight which destroys the point of splitting the two profiles into separate data sheets.

Both sides of the coin, you probably refer to Asuryani units not being able to ride Asuryani transports anymore right ?

 

But on the other hand the way the wording is now corsairs CAN ride Venoms and Raiders as long as Yvraine or the Visarch is leading them... technically guardians could as well, but because a guardian is an 11 model unit from the start they wont fit with one of them leading them. ( and its there where the interaction messes up; a unit led by the visarch is a "the visarch unit" because every unit and character name is also a keyword. and while its true they are not the visarch models, the Venom and Raider do not want "keyword" models, they want models from "keyword" units, wich is very different from usual transport descriptions.)

 

Not that it really matters as corsairs have a hard time focusing on the battle apparently.

So are they going to move them to legends? I have the Wraithseer, Shadow spectres, and Shadow spectre phoenix lord so I would like to have rules for them somewhere.

As someone that owns two squadrons of Hornets I sure hope so.

[drakheart]

I love my wraithseer, the fact i could run around with a d-cannon on its shoulder made it a auto pick for my aeldari, it will be sadly missed. I wish they would keep the forgeworld kits that were just addons to plastic GW kits such as this, should be an easy fix to produce the additional bits as an addon sprue in plastic surely.

Anything that came out with the FW indexes can still be used, but they'll probably disappear off the app if they havent already. 

[Ming the Merciless]

No more Drukhari Tantalus either ☹️

Yep, no longer on the app.
