Kommenden Samstag werden die Streitkräfte der Aeldari mit weiteren Verstärkungen versehen und fürs ausgeglichene Spiel kommt ein Deck zum generieren von eigenen Missionen.

Sunday Preview: Avatar, Autarch, and Aspect Warriors – Aeldari Reinforcements Inbound

Hot on the heels of the new Codex: Aeldari comes a slew of reinforcements which are all available for pre-order from next Saturday.

The Avatar of Khaine

The Avatar of Khaine is an absolute monster on the tabletop, going toe to flaming-hot toe with the best that the 41st Millennium has to offer. As well as being a beast in combat, it also makes your Asuryani CORE units better, allowing them to re-roll charges and ignore negative modifiers on Combat Attrition tests.

The kit comes with a choice of three heads and three options for the Avatar’s Wailing Doom weapon – an axe, a sword, and a spear.

Shining Spears

Riding into battle alongside the Avatar are the Shining Spears. They benefit from the updates to Aspect Warriors, and with their speed, you can almost guarantee they’ll be in the right place to make a charge with their laser lances’ increased strength. Add them into a Saim-Hann army to terrorise your opponent from turn one.

The kit comes with helmeted or unhelmeted options, and you can build one as an Exarch with options to kit out their jetbike with a shuriken cannon and a shimmershield, as well as a choice of wielding a paragon sabre or a star lance.

Autarch

The Autarch from the Eldritch Omens boxed set is available separately for the first time. The ideal battle leader for any Aeldari army, they balance strategic brilliance with martial skill. Their Path of Command aura lets nearby CORE units re-roll attack rolls of 1, and they allow your army to use the Command Re-roll Stratagem twice during each phase.

The kit comes with options for a star glaive, a Scorpion chainsword, a shuriken pistol, a Reaper launcher, a Dragon fusion gun, and a death spinner. You may also give your Autarch a Banshee mask or assemble them without a helmet, and you get male and female torsos. It’s fully compatible with the existing Autarch kit, and thanks to the newly updated datasheet, you can construct the Autarch of your dreams.

Rangers

Rangers are a stealthy Troops choice for any Aeldari army. Armed with deadly long rifles, which allow them to ignore the Look Out, Sir rule, they can snipe away at key targets while their cloaks protect them from returning fire.

The kit comes with a range of assembly options, including 11 different heads and the option to include a gloom field or a wireweave net in the hand of one of your Rangers, as well as a shrine to their god Khaine in one of his many martial aspects.

Shroud Runners

With a 14” movement and the FLY keyword, Shroud Runners can zip around the battlefield, swiftly grabbing objectives and outmanoeuvring enemy forces. As with their scout brethren on foot, they ignore the Look Out, Sir rule with their long rifles, making them a perfect unit for hit-and-run attacks.

The kit comes with various build options for both the pilots and riders – including spotters and sharpshooters mid-snipe – and a choice of nine heads.

Combat Patrol: Aeldari

The Aeldari Combat Patrol is ideal both to kick-start a brand new army or to add extra units to an existing one. The heart of the set is a squad of Guardians. You can build them as Guardian Defenders to hold objectives, gun down enemies with shuriken catapults, and fire from their Heavy Weapons Platform. They can alternatively be built as Storm Guardians, a more aggressive unit suited to seizing objectives from your foes.

The box includes six Windriders – superfast jetbikes that can harry your opponent’s army with massed shuriken catapult firepower. Heavy Support comes in the form of a Wraithlord, a massive Wraith construct, which can be equipped with a variety of Aeldari heavy weaponry and a devastating ghost glaive. The force is led by Farseer, a peerless psyker who uses their power to enhance your army and curse your opponent.

Tempest of War Cards

Finally this week for Warhammer 40,000 is the Tempest of War card pack. These decks let you generate missions for your matched play games quickly and, with thousands of combinations available, they’ll really test your tactical prowess. With cards for deployment, primary objectives, secondary objectives, and special mission rules, this is an easy way to create Incursion- and Strike Force-sized games.

Warhammer 40.000 ist unter anderem bei unseren Partnern Fantasywelt und Taschengelddieb erhältlich.
