Reddemon Anybody know what rules would be good for a Exodite army? WHFB Wood Elves, according to the Fluff, since that is what they are, sort of. They used to have the WHFB Rules almost the same , so that you could mix Battles. A Good Way, is to replace AP VAlues, with Armour And Strength Save Modifiers. razz **

craftworld only gives you additional options, like Space Wolves and Black Templar for marines.

Yes, but they are a Tribal group of Techno-Barbarians. They even have debates at Tribal Meetings to figure out who will join in a Battle, as opposed to others, where the Alaitoc help out of Loyalty, or the Biel Tan acto go as an Army. If a Family doesn't want to goto the battle, or believe in the cause, then they don't have to go there. If they do, they gain more Glory for their house. razz **

I was just curious on a few things.
Why does the eldar only have choices of Avatar(which in my opnion is worthless), and farseer for HQ's? all the other's i know at least have 3 to chose from. I have heard a rummor of a suped-up wraithlord being another HQ option for Eldar, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Secondly, why do aspect warriors only get exarchs? Shouldnt there be an opportunity for any unit to have a veteran leader? I know I'd like to see ranger exarchs.

There will be a new Uber Exarch and the Avatar might become a specail character and Firggin evil in combat. Stormrunner Secondly, why do aspect warriors only get exarchs?

You can stick Warlocks in command or squads IIRC.Rangers don't need sargents.Ratlings don't have them either.Snipers need no command. cool

Space Marines: Commander= Force Leader Librarian= Psychic that can be a Leader Chaplain= There to inspire them. Eldar: Farseer= Leader that is Uber Psychic Avatar= Leader that Inspires The Farseer is inspiring in the Fluff, but I don't think that they have Uber Rules for inspiring Troops like Chaplains Do. razz **

Stormrunner Avatar(which in my opnion is worthless) Worthless? For 80 points you get: - 3 strength 6 attacks at WS 10 that ignore armor and do 2d6 for armor penetration at initiative 5 - Toughness 6 to protect it's 4 wounds and a 5+ invulnerable save - Any Eldar within 12 inches Fearless and they add 1 to their score for determining the winners of a combat round - All this for 80 points! Lets compare with another uber-melee unit. Bloodthirster: - 5 attacks at strength 8 and WS 9 which ignore armor and do 2d6 for armor penetration at initiative 4. - Toughness 6 to protect it's 4 wounds with a 4+ save and 5+ invulnerable save - Wings count as Jump Infantry but do not roll for dangerous terrain in woods - Counts as an Icon for the purpose of summoning daemons. - Good yes, but for a whopping 205 points! For 80 points you get a model that can take down Bloodthrister, which is 2.5 times the point cost. I'd say that is a pretty worthwile unit. Boohoo, so you'll have 10 less Gaurdians or 5 less aspect warriors or something. The point is that both the Farseer and the Avatar are 0-1 selections, so why not have both, if the Avatar is so cheap? All it has to do is tear through a sinlge squad of standard infantry to pay for it's self.

It is my theory, that we will recieve new models for the following:
- Warlocks
- Striking Scorpions
- Howling Banshees
- Warp Spiders
- Wraithgaurd
- Fire Dragons
- Rangers
- Swooping Hawks
How did I come to this conclusion? Check out the Eldar Miniatures page from Games Workshop. We can no longer purchase the models on that list, leading me to believe that new ones are coming out.
