I had heard talk (on BoLS of Faeit) in the early stages of the rumours that the codex talks about/background on 11 craftworlds. At the time I thought it was heaps but last night going through my current codex it already does cover 11 craftworlds. The big ones such as Biel Tan, Saim Hann etc and the smaller but often mentioned ones like Altansar and Mymeara.

I do hope we get more fluff

The old dex was around 115 page and the new one is rumoured to be 160 so that make for40 page of fluff/formation/new things. And i'm really happy to see the lower craftworld develloped a bit.

I'm really interested in the strength D sword becaude against swarm of ork or tyranide thats going to be very good, and ypu can still give your wraithknight additional weapon such as star cannon/bright lance etc.

The one thing I will say, that has me a bit excited, is that Saim Hann may finally be back for me. I have always had the craftworld set up but found it quit disheartening to use. But now it may be possible (for me) to put it back on the table and at least have more of a fighting chance, maybe, we shall see.

I had always wanted to play a pure Iyanden list and with the last dex, it became reality without such a high must take tax points wise. I hope that they don't ruin that part for me since it has been my main way of playing my Eldar for almost 2 years now, yup, less then 2 years and now another beslubbering dex to buy, hope it is good to go for awhile now. Just getting used to it, um, sorry tiny rant over.

So anyhow let's all breath good and wait and see what the next few weeks bring us.

I think most of us has seen the formation leaks from WD, so what are your thoughts about the bonuses each formation provides?

I don't think any of them will get objective secured, maybe the core ones, but it's not for certain.

My thoughts are that the formation with defender guardians may get a bonus to cover saves, night vision or possibly anti-air.

The formation with storm guardians may get furious charge, preferred enemy or shred.

Windrider formation could get skilled rider or outflank.

The Avenger formation may get 5++ saves in CC, defensive grenades or some kind of defend ability, like reducing any opponents attacks to 1/model by forfeiting all of their own attacks.

There is an interesting thought... defender platforms getting AA option for EML..... Cannot check off the top of my head.... but don't a few other books have the option for flak for certain squads missile launchers?

Skilled rider for the windrider host makes sense - It will also make everyone cry cheese more than they are over the new jetbike spam meta due to a better jink save....

The wraithguard host is probably just the dataslate rules rolled into the new codex.

Ive read in a few places the main decurion formations bonus is called Matchless Agility. I wonder if it'd be run in the assault phase if not declaring a charge.

Based on the cron codex, if anyone knows, has what's been revealed in the WD likely to be all the formations in the book?

The Crimson Death formation looks to be based off the Apoc formation from the Valedor (it required 3-5 C. Hunters) although I don't think the assets would really transfer over. Unless it became something like if the Crimson death destroy the opponents most expensive model gain a victory point? Actually I'd like them to gain Shrouded like the Nightwing and Phoenix!

Would anyone take the sword if it was strength D? He's already str 10 wouldn't it always be better to have a gun?

The sword, if it remains as is, also gives him an invulnerable save. More durability for decreased damage output. Whether it would be a worthy trade off or not is another issue...

Frankly, it's been 6 months since i managed to actually have a game. I'm so far out of the meta that all i care about are the models. Finally, some jetbikes that look good.

I wouldn't be surprised if Eldar units don't have battle focus by default, but get it through the new hosts structure.

The sun cannon also gives him an invul. Although the suncannon has been pretty nerfed by loss of laser lock. The wraithknight will also be getting a 5+ FNP which will definitely be useful in keeping him alive!

The leaked entry for the Windriders shows the presence of Battle Focus at the units' special rules.

Hmm.  Which, unless they changed how Battle Focus works, makes as much sense as it does for them in the current book.  Y'know. Considering that bikes can't run. :P

The hawk buff is awesome, and something everyone was hoping for.
Spiders actually got a nerf by wounding on Initiative....

I understand everyone is excited about the new codex, but please remember that information that people are posting are leaks.  If we could keep the discussion away from rules and stats, that would be great.  I would hate to have to shut this topic down for IP reasons.
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...

Wow the hemlock rolling on psychic tables? SO now it can get psychic shriek! so dirty

I plan on fielding an aspect host with
10 warp spiders
9 dark reapers
10 dire avengers in a wave serpent

With the rumored formation bonus this will be DEADLY even without farseer support and I won't have to stack my list with 2 guides and a prescience
