Craftworld Eldar in the rumormill

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Wow, it does really seem quite possible at this point. i'm quite surprised. I would of thought they would of just done a release akin to that tyranid one last year and just had updated rules in a campaign book or something - but it really looks like they might get a whole new codex. I still clearly remember the current/last one like it was yesterday.

I wonder if they will remove Harlequins now they are their own "army" ?

Feel bad for all the chumpspeople that bought the limited editions.

I understand that they're collector's items but c'mon. That lifespan is pretty short.

No doubt. One would expect ~5 years before a full rewrite.

Damn if this is the case... ARGH... C'mon April Fools Joke *hopes hopes hopes* I don't want a new Codex that soon... Thankfully I didn't buy the collector's edition. (Nor will I ever buy one if this is how it will be going.... ever)

Might as well put together my predictions then for a completely new codex.

1) Wave Serpent shield goes away completely

It may become a one use item but stay available as a defensive shield.

2) Farseers become ML2
3) Warlocks become brotherhood of psykers at collective ML1

Sucks, but likely... especially the Warlock brotherhood thingy.

4) Wraithknights increase in cost 100pts. CCW becomes Str D and become gargantuan creatures and LoW.

Kit sales have probably maxed so no need for WraithKnight to shine anymore.

5) Battle focus is removed as a special rule and only given to the Biel-Tan formation

It's a characterful part of the army so why not take it away.

6) 10% to 20% point increase on all skimmer tanks.
7) Avatars get 4++ save back

I don't see these two. Skimmers aren't that special and they seem to shy away from the 4++ on a MC.

8) Warp Spiders turn back into jump infantry
9) Warlocks are able to join units other than just guardians
10) Crimson Hunter gets some kind of defensive boost
11) Hemlock is still an unappreciated psycho flyer

All very possible.

13) Banshee's mask gives benefits of grenades (if they don't then I give up on GW)

Might as well dream.

14) PL's still overcosted for what they do

A given.

15) <one wishlist item - indulge me> Swooping hawks can assault flyers

I was hoping for this last edition... I just hope they keep their haywire grenades.

16) All wraithweapons dropped in strength. Wraithcannons str8, HWC str9, D-scythe str 3.

Unless there's a corresponding drop in points let's hope not.

Don't forget:

17) Holofields goto 5++ (basically a given)

Interesting. I know we have Codex Eldar: Harlequins.

Even though there's no rumor support for this, we might get Codex Eldar: Exodites, but that's just wishlisting.

Meh, I regret the 6th edition main rulebook, but I refuse to feel bad about the Eldar and Iyanden limited editions. I bought them entirely for the sake of the pretty runic covers and those covers remain just as pretty and runic. Hell, I can transfer them to the new books, at the cost of slightly confusing my opponents (so, win-win really).

Mind you, that was back in the good ol' days when a Limited Edition Codex cost less than twice as much as the Regular Edition.
