Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Eldar Farseer Skyrunner

Product Information

If that type of roll involves one D6 (e.g. a hit roll), do not roll a dice; that roll is treated as an unmodified roll of 6. Suppressing Fire lets Swooping Hawks switch off enemy Overwatch and Actions, and against opponents who don’t have some sort of indirect to take them off the table can make them quite annoying. Eldar Jetbike (Farseer Skyrunner only) - Aeldari Jetbikes are swift, graceful mounts that enable their riders to soar across the battlefield raining death upon their foes. We shouldn’t neglect that Shadow Spectres also reside in this role, still have significant ranged capability, and are also the most likely unit to benefit from Battle Focus changes, particularly in a Biel-Tan list. It remains to be seen how or if any changes or updates are made to them following release.

Wraiths are mostly terrifying but expensive, though Wraithlords may have some pretty efficient builds. Changes to the Web of Deceipt ability (action timing) and the limitation of Battle Focus (requiring you to have shot) Finally, sigh, the Swooping Hawks and Warp Spiders. Both saw above average increases and I don’t really see a core rules change that’s going to help them out significantly – the Swooping Hawks had some niche play now and again, and may very well have a role with the GT mission set yet, but I’m dubious. As for the Warp Spiders…. they’re a far cry from the day I made a poor Tyranid player rage quit as they jumped out of LoS everytime he targeted them with his Flying Hive Tyrants all those years ago. I think you can safely pass here, and hope they get cool new models to match some cool new rules later in 9th. Heavy SupportReal nice mob you have here, sure would be a shame if some kind of Blast were to come along and ruin it. Credit:Boon If every model in an INFANTRY unit is on or in an Area Terrain feature with this trait, then it can either Hold Steady or it can Set to Defend (see below) when an enemy unit declares a charge against it. Explore. This is another good time to take a campaign break during another “do everything” mission. Yes, you need to produce a Farseer Skyrunner and battle a small Tau army, but progress stops until you choose to visit one particular tile with a Farseer Skyrunner. Fire Prisms are still very scary to the right targets, and easier to run in twos rather than threes. The unit also comes in at 100 points base vs their previous 90 points – before any Exarch upgrade abilities ( Surprise Assault being the likely front-runner). However, the role that the unit takes on has shifted significantly but not necessarily for the worse. First and foremost, the offensive output of the unit is much improved, and importantly, provide one of the best options in the Aeldari book for ranged anti-horde while still seriously threatenening most mid-sized vehicles and elite infantry. While not as fast as their previous version, they still retain a very significant capability to befuddle your opponent’s plans when combining their Warp Jump Generator, Battle Focus, and their charge response abilities. Finally, this is a unit that wants to have Will of Asuryan cast on it – allowing it to leverage their huge potential on offense while scoring (particularly useful on Investigate Signals) and synergizing with other powers like Doom or Guide , stratagems like Wrath of the Shrines , or custom army traits like Webway Warriors . To me the current version of Warp Spiders is much less of a sneaky action unit and much more of a problem-solving utility unit that can fit nicely into multiple different roles within a list or within the game itself. The flexibility of this unit is still there but it has evolved.

Each week a different unit will appear, with the idea being that we discuss how best to use that model on the battlefield. This series will focus on Codex entries initially. If/when we exhaust those possibilities, we will start looking at Forgeworld and Legends if people are interested in those units.Corsair Voidscarred give access to the stranger weirdos from the new kit, and probably end up most interesting for Drukhari.
