Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Aeldari Guardians

Product Information

Games Workshop webstore: Guardian Defenders (saved archive, dated 26/02/22, last accessed 28th September 2023) Craftworld Warlord Trait: A Warlord Trait associated with one of the craftworlds. These are only available to WARLORDS that are part of a CRAFTWORLD Detachment (and only if they are drawn from the associated craftworld). The Ynnari draw their numbers from every portion of Aeldari society, believing that Ynnead is the only hope for their race.A CRAFTWORLD Detachment that is from the Ynnari can also include HARLEQUINS units, < KABAL> DRUKHARI units, < WYCH CULT> DRUKHARI units, INCUBI units and SCOURGES units (see Codex: Drukhari), but for each of these units it includes, it must also include one ASURYANI unit with the same Battlefield Role. A YNNARI Detachment that includes any of these units in this way is still considered to be an ASURYANI Detachment, but the following additional rules apply:

If your Crusade army includes any HARLEQUINS units, they can prepare for a Grand Performance. To do so, you first select which Tale your HARLEQUINS units will perform, then take part in a series of battles that form the Rehearsal phase, leading on to a battle that forms the Grand Performance phase. On some craftworlds, Ulthwé foremost amongst them, the Guardians are the most common of all Aeldari warriors. As the number of dedicated, professional Aeldari troops -- the Aspect Warriors -- in a craftworld are simply too few to meet all threats, those Aeldari dedicated to a civilian Asuryani Path serve as Guardians in battle, forming the bulk of the Craftworlder Aeldari armies. Some Asuryani are refugees whose own craftworld has been lost, and who have been taken in by another world-vessel. Others seek to emulate the successes of the more active craftworlds, or simply hold traditions similar to their more well known brethren.You cannot select this Far-flung Craftworld Attribute if you have selected any other Far-flung Craftworld Attributes, and if you select this Far-flung Craftworld Attribute you cannot select a second. Select one of the following craftworlds: Ulthwé, Alaitoc, Biel-Tan, Iyanden, Saim-Hann.Each time you upgrade a HARLEQUINS CHARACTER model in this way, its Power Rating is increased by 1. If you are playing a matched play game, or a game that uses a points limit, then the points value of that model is also increased by the amount shown in relevant table. Each model can only be given one of the upgrades listed below. As well as rules for Asuryani Aeldari (that’s craftworlds to me and you), this new codex also has rules for fielding Harlequins – we’ll have more info on adding these deadly clowns to your armies later in the week. We saw the first Corsairs miniature at LVO, and you can also include them in an army. You can even dedicate yourself to the Aeldari god of death and take a Ynnari army – all using the same codex! Eldar Guardians 40k Rules Rumors YNNARI DRUKHARI units can gain Battle Traits, Weapon Enhancements, Crusade Relics and Battle Scars listed in Codex: Drukhari as normal. A squad of six Windrider jetbikes* gives you plenty of speed to zoom around the board. Combined with Craftworld Saim-Hann’s bike-buffing sensibilities , these agile Aeldari can reach just about anywhere you need them from turn 1. That’s not to say they’re all whoosh and no wallop – their bikes carry plenty of upgraded shuriken weaponry for shredding any foe foolish enough to get in the way. The Aeldari are a long-lived race, but in the aftermath of the Fall, they faced a slow demise, and a horrifying afterlife – for Slaanesh has staked its claim on each Aeldari soul in death. In response, the Asuryani bound themselves to soulstones, which capture their souls at their deaths to prevent Slaanesh from taking them. In times of great need, these soulstones are embedded in wraithbone constructs, so that the dead can bolster the armies of the living. There are many such constructs, including the mighty Wraithlord , the towering Wraithknight , and beyond. Fire Prism

If your army is Battle-forged, < SAEDATH> units in HARLEQUINS Detachments gain access to the following saedath rules, provided every < SAEDATH> unit in your army following a saedath is following the same saedath. If every < SAEDATH> unit in a HARLEQUINS Detachment is following the same saedath, that Detachment is referred to as a SAEDATH Detachment. You can ignore any or all modifiers to the Move characteristic of INFANTRY units with this attribute, and you can ignore any or all modifiers to Advance rolls made for such units.

New Eldar Stratagem

That unit destroyed the enemy unit with the greatest number of experience points (if several enemy units are tied, this can be any of the tied units).

Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKERS from your army that know powers from the Phantasmancy, Runes of Battle, Runes of Fate, Runes of Fortune or Revenant disciplines using the tables below. You can either roll one D6 to generate each power randomly (re-rolling duplicate results), or you can select which powers each PSYKER knows. This Solitaire moves faster than the eye can see.This model gains 1 Damnation point. Add 2" to this model’s Move characteristic.If that type of roll involves one D6 (e.g. a hit roll), do not roll a dice; that roll is treated as an unmodified roll of 6. Even these militia are skilled warriors whose experience outstrips that of lesser races. Guardian Defender units fight with deadly shuriken catapults and heavy weapon platforms equipped with a choice of specialised armaments.

There are also 2 right-handed chainswords, but for some reason no matching left-handed shuriken pistol arms. The pieces in question, numbered 63, are shown as left-handed in the assembly guide, so it seems that this is a design error? You could combine at least one of the right-handed chainswords with the pointing arm though.It is a testament to the skill and technology of the Aeldari that even their civilians are capable of engaging an enemy army and emerging victorious. This kit builds 10 Guardian Defenders, accompanied by a Heavy Weapon Platform. Guardian Defenders are versatile support troops, suited to holding objectives as they unleash withering hails of fire from their shuriken catapults. Their hovering Heavy Weapon Platforms can be fitted with a variety of powerful guns to sunder enemy armour or mow down swathes of infantry. This kit comes with a variety of accessories and 11 unhelmeted heads. You can also choose to build this kit as close-combat focused Storm Guardians. While this WARLORD is on the battlefield, each time you or your opponent spends any Command points to use a Stratagem, you can roll one D6 for each Command point spent: on a 6, you gain 1 Command point. The Thirsting Darkness could not be denied, drawing ever closer, even as the children of Isha fled before its dread tendrils. Surrounded by the gloaming mists, none could escape their onrushing doom. Saedath Relic: A Treasures of the Aeldari Relic associated with one of the saedaths. These are only available to CHARACTER models that are part of a HARLEQUINS Detachment (and only if they, and your WARLORD, are following the associated saedath).
