Craftworld Eldar in the rumormill

Eldar Details & Prices

The new Eldar book will be 160 pages, which is on par with the Space Marine book that gave us faction rules for some chapters. Word on the street is that we will see the same treatment for select Craftworlds as well!

lol, I hope it is called Codex: Fancy Edition.

My real big question is if this is a replacement will it also cancel out Iyanden as well killing not $50 of books but $100. hmmm

This is "the" question. Is Craftworld Eldar a codex that can be used as "well as" or "instead of"

Honestly. I think we're just looking at an name change for IP sake.

Eldar is a fairly common reference in sci fi/fantasy and not always limited to elves. But craftworld eldar is basically unique

I'm ok if I only have to carry one book with me. (Ok, I'll still have up to three with Harlequins and Dark Eldar.)

It's not like any Iyanden player wouldn't be buying the new codex.

As for the "repackage", could it be that the shining spears are using the new bikes but old rider upgrade kit? I could live with that.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

It also makes sense with the naming convention they have for Harlequins (Codex Eldar: Harlequins) to call it "Codex Eldar: Craftworlds".

But will codex Iyanden still be usable ? I doubt it and to be frank as much as I enjoy a new codex I don't like thinking I will have to replace them after less than two years use.

The nice thing about Supplements is that they just use the units from the previous Codex. They don't list out the rules for those units, not even the point values, only for extra rules that you can tack onto them if you take Iyanden.

GW would really have to screw stuff around with the Codex to invalidate that Supplement. Like significant rules changes, which they aren't going to do. This is going to bring some fresh plastics in and adjust some rules, and probably bring in different formations for different Craftworlds.

If they wanted it to still be used, they wouldn't have pulled it from the web store.
