Goatboy right here and there are some issues I really feel which might be lacking from the Aeldari codex that might have been superior to have. Why GW, WHY!?
I imply it’s superior for my Aeldari mates, as I received’t be taking part in the sneaky Elves. Effectively, not proper now anyway. Nonetheless I really feel like we have now some lacking items that might have been superior to have. The brand new tenth Version codex is fairly dang huge however there are some holes that might have been simply stuffed to provide a way more rounded e-book.
On an infinity-vacation…
5. Autarch on Jetbike
The Shining Spears do not need a Phoenix Lord proper now (Drastanta, the place are you)? So why haven’t we had a cool Jetbike chief that isn’t a Farseer. The place is the King of the Windriders? The place is the mounted hero who can zip round, perhaps carry a Melta pistol, and simply be a ache within the butt to take care of? It simply feels bizarre that such a easy mannequin might simply be designed, printed, and given to these poor ole Aeldari gamers hungry for a cool jet bike dude. We used to have a mounted Autarch, again within the day on the old-school chopper Jetbike, however alas, no new one.
4. Corsair Chief & Armylist
That is one other bizarre one the place they’ve some cool kill group fashions however no actual approach to string all of it collectively. Are they Ynarri? Are they a bizarre space-based Pirate faction? Is that this only a approach to say hey all of your Killteam stuff remains to be usable in 40k? I received some questions on why that is even within the e-book. The corsairs now have been in two Aeldari codexes on this bizarre nether-world of being included, and ineffective, with half baked guidelines. It appears like GW has future plans for them, however they aren’t prepared for prime-time now.
3. Yriel, The place Did He Go?
It is a no brainer and thought the Facet host would push it extra. Whereas it isn’t a foul detachment it ought to have pushed issues farther. Plus they might have had a brand new mannequin that leads the Corsairs and kinda brings all of it collectively. I imply come on, Yriel and his Eldritch Raiders are the OG Eldar Pirates, going means again to Rogue Dealer within the Eighties. He PREDATES your complete idea of Craftworld Eldar/Facet Warriors. Get that man a brand new fancy mannequin!
2. New Vyper
Man is that this mannequin outdated – and will be the oldest authorized mini in 40K proper now. Why haven’t they simply constructed a brand new replace that has a number of extra choices, appears extra dynamic, and is simply cooler? I’m glad we received the Facet warriors up to date however it is a tremendous outdated package limping alongside to the end line. What number of are we going to see at occasions with a number of layers of paint and lacking that dang cockpit plastic piece? It nonetheless appears OK, and was a shocking mini for it’s debuy in 2001, however it’s 2025 now. A LOT might be finished to make a subsequent era Vyper look wonderful.
1. Dinosaur Aeldari!
I don’t care what anybody says, we’d like these Dinosaur Aeldari asap. The place are my Exodites? That is a kind of no brainer type updates that I query why GW waited so lengthy. We ALREADY have Darkish Elves using dinosaurs in Warhammer Fantasy, and it was one of many COOLEST MODELS over there! We want Aeldari using huge ole lizards wrecking issues with tremendous cool space-lasers.
It simply appears like one thing that needs to be finished. Heck simply begin it with a Killteam replace the helps you to add some cool dinosaur stuff in your present fashions. Allow them to be a bizarre military somebody found because of some kill groups in search of an influence supply on a planet and swiftly you bought screeches coming from the tree as your scouts need to run away from indignant house lizards made you tried to steal their crystals of doom. Simply do it James Workshop and cease being a dino-fearing coward.
