Product Information

Stash hits or wounds if you’re about to go big with an “exploding” or mortals on 6s effect, or shoot Fire Prisms. To round it all off, most of the green gems on the weapons were done by painting two coats of Ork Flesh straight out of the pot. However, given that it was once a rule for several editions and that the majority of players would probably expect that rule to be the standard, it is safe to assume that a player's best course of action would be to abide by that guideline for any and all models. Though every Asuryani craftworld will at some point be forced to call upon the souls of their fallen heroes to fight once again, one of the craftworlds particularly noted for using large numbers of Ghost Warriors and necromantic Spiritseers is Iyanden. These large constructs are extremely precious to their Aeldari craftworlds and have a supernatural toughness due to being made from the psychically-active substance called wraithbone.

Aeldari warriors emulate the various warlike aspects of Khaela Mensha Khaine in battle, but each Craftworld holds a terrible secret in its heart. There is a chamber which contains an Avatar of Khaine, a molten metal statue which contains a still-living shard of the defeated warrior god. In times of war, this shard is awakened and set aflame. This colossus of battle bestrides the battlefield, a living god that scythes down its foes by the score. Wraithlord Farseer Runes of Fate Powers rule harder than ever, with Guide now working on melee, and Will of Asuryan now being an exceptionally potent tool. Wash the wings with Aethermatic Blue. I’ve done more playing with contrast since I did this model (see also HTPE: Yncarne) and if I was doing this again, I’d have done a gradual blend outwards from Akhelian Green to give a better effect. Runes of Fate powers are going to be the engine that drives Craftworld lists, so kind of same as it ever was. They can all affect CRAFTWORLD CORE or CRAFTWORLD CHARACTER units, which makes them broader than some similar options elsewhere, and all have a quirky new mechanic where they have a base range of 18”, and on a high cast (the threshold varies) they either go up to 24” range, or get more powerful, in the case of Mind War . Ulthwe and Biel-Tan stand out as the best competitive options among the named Craftworlds, with Alaitoc maybe getting there as well.Eternal Labyrinth Enchantment Many sought the Goddess' blessing. Few survived the Labyrinth to receive it. This is where we should take special note of the Wraithlord’s combination of statline and other bonuses. For a relatively cheap cost (~105) we can get four effective guns and a dangerous melee weapon built-in, all on a T8 chassis with a goodly pile of wounds and the -1 to hit penalty from Alaitoc. This is why Nanavati and many other members of his team were considering running Wraithlords in their previous LVO lists, as I alluded to in the opening- the combination of versatility and durability is something that a lot of people don’t expect from Craftworlds armies and especially when brought in larger numbers (which is to say trios, thanks to the FAQ rulings) they can be a real hassle to get rid of. The clarity of thought provided by the living twin ensures that the construct moves with the speed typical of the Aeldari race, whilst the psychic link between the pilot and their departed sibling allows them to commune with not only the animating forces of the twin, but also the spirits of former incumbents that once controlled the construct's long-limbed form. Rarely can a Wraithseer be risked upon the battlefield. Armed with a Distortion Cannon, Wraithspear and Wraithshield, and wreathed in eldritch energy, a Wraithseer is still a potent foe despite its ancient age. The name Skathach is possibly a reference to Scáthach, a legendary Scottish warrior-woman who trained the hero Cú Chulainn.

Before making a roll of any of the types shown above for a unit with the Strands of Fate ability, if any of your retained dice have a result corresponding with that type of roll (as shown above) and have not been used to manipulate a roll this battle round, you can manipulate that roll. If you do so:For the gems, I started with Scalecolour Elandil Violet all over the gem, then painted a crescent with Sunset Purple (making sure to match the placement on every gem). I then highlighted this with P3 Murderous Magenta and added a tiny dot of white in the top left corner. Lastly I gave them a coat of gloss varnish. For the canopies I did the same process but using an airbrush to create a gradient, then painted in the supports with Iosan Green. Credit: Silks As our only HQ we’ve kitted him out a bit. He has the Kournous’ Bow relic which replaces his standard Shuriken Pistol. It gives him 6″ of extra range to 18″ as well as an additional 2 shots on the Shuriken Pistol’s 1. With a pip more strength means it’ll hit on 2’s and wound Space Marines on 3’s, but with added benefit that any successful wounds are mortal wounds (MW).

In many ways, the Wraithknights embody the cyclical symbols of the Aeldari, the curving discs of the Aeldari Lexicon that display a portion of death within life and a portion of life within death. From the stoic ranks of the Wraithguard to the towering war machines known as Wraithknights, the formidable Ghost Warriors are only used in times of desperation -- for there is a greater darkness about them. They are a walking reminder that, for the Craftworld Aeldari, death offers no release from war and bloodletting.

What that adds up to is that if you decide you want your Warlord in a Harlequins Patrol, doing so is surprisingly plausible – you lose the ability to buy additional Craftworld Relics, and access to Craftworld-specific relics, but not much else – and this is something you may well want to do, as we’ll look at in the final article today.
