The first draft of the Eldar pack for The Siege of Terra is now online.

Thank you for your patience.

Eldar Pack

Well glad to see that my worries over the reference to Iyanden were unfounded being an Ulthwe player and all. Out of interest are the eldar forces envisioned as a coalition under the leadership of Iyanden or did you have something else in mind?

I take it that there is more to come seeing as at the moment Iyanden doesn't have a useable special character.

Looking good! Continually pleased at the quality of the artwork in these packs. Eldar stuff is familiar, but that's a good thing in my mind, as these were some really cool units at past weekends.

I particularly like the tweaks to the Dark Eldar – giving relentless to the Scourges makes them a very interesting unit indeed...

Hellions could do with a slight boost to differentiate them against jetbikes, in my opinion. Perhaps skilled riders to make them an interesting alternative in Cities of Death?

I'd also note that Dark Eldar are pretty short on superheavies/Primarch equivalents, which might put them at a bit of a disadvantage compared to the other armies in the big games. Not sure what to suggest here, though. Sorry!

I rather like the DE stuff, well all except the new rules on Dark Lance (mostly because the eldar one is still 36" but im sure theres a good reason for it)

Yes there is no really primarch type unit or super heays but DE arn't designed for it... if you want a super you might as well get a void dragon type thing. The closest you get to a Primarch is the Dais which in all points can be more useful

Also does the new base attacks for incubi also translate onto the dias as currently its attacks scores is made up of the incubi and teh Archon?

Why have the warrior squads only allowing 1 dark lance just for curiosity sakes?

ARe the minimum point limits on characters removed for this game, such as the dais being allowed in 1000 point games?

pack looks good and love the solitaire I used to use one in the harlequin army from the citadel journal and this captures the same theme, good stuff.

I note from an earlier post that Eldar do not have a primarch equivalent howabout Ahra the father of the incubi as karandaras with a shadow field, punisher, mandiblasters and combat drugs for around 275-300pts?

Yes, It is an Eldar force led by Iyanden, that will be clearer in later revisions.

There are a few characters still to come.

The tweaks to the DE are designed to move them from the raider/warrior combo with Dark Lances to the hilt. Boring to play with and against.

Hellions with Skilled Rider seems apropriate.

Hey Stu whats the poisoned Value on the Mandrakes?

Great to see this up! Nice to see we can use Exodite units again - I fancy bringing my Armorcast Towering Destroyer for a bit of a run around!

Looking forward to seeing the other characters that end up being included - currently the cheapest option for the mandatory named character is Jain Zar at 190pts which could be an issue in the Vanguard games (especially when a lot of the Imperial characters are Sergeant upgrades at 40-60pts).

Ahhhh good the planning can begin
