Eldar Rumour Titbits

[SeekingOne]

The fluff of guardians is that they are not Aspect Warriors, they are FORMER Aspect Warriors, leaving that Path and going somewhere else (Path of Artificers, Path of Poets, or others), so they share the same experience as Warlocks in war (without the psychic powers obviously), and so they join war when they are required by the Craftworld war council (Autarchs+Seers), and share the War Mask (Khaine battle trance) with both Warlocks and Aspect warriors. They are not like farmers joining the army.
Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if they get BS4 or even WS4 in the case of assault guardians.

This.
Yes, guardians don't receive so much martial training as standing Aspect warriors, but they do have the experience. So they may not be I5 or Ld9, but WS3 BS4 for Defenders or WS4 BS3 for Storm looks absolutely justified by fluff to me.

Warlocks are now WS4 BS4 S3 T3 W2 I5 A1 Ld8 Sv-

Witchblades

Spiritseers have Witchstaves, which may be a new type of weapon.

2 wounds is very interesting, but they kind of need it if they're rolling for psych now, rather then auto-casting.

Oh that sweet justice. Called them as 2W from the Codex page on their damned website and so many were like, "NOOO IT'S A 1!" It feels so good. Feeding off their pain, just like the Dark Kin.

Casting with Ld.8....

Fritz40k apparently has the PDF for the Eldar codex, but his hints as to its location have so far proved to be inaccurate. I'll update here if I find it (but I refuse to link it, as I don't want to get BoLS into trouble). It seems that he may have confused it with a fan-made codex.

Where'd he talk about this? I didn't see it on his site?

Casting with Ld.8....

Point? They are prolly going to end up as 40pts and able to break off just like Wolf Guard. It's not like they are casting really important powers like Invisibility or anything from Divination/Fate.

Just them trying to cast Conceal is fine for me.

[Maxis Lithium]

8 means you'll have a relyable caster, but who will still failed roughly 30% of the time. Not perfect, but given the number of them that will likely to be seen in any given army? Acceptable.

Does anyone else smell Brotherhood of Psykers on this one?

[Maxis Lithium]

I thought that was already confirmed. The Warlock unit will have Brotherhood, I'm farily sure of it. It was said that they would also be able to help a farseer cast some how.
