INFORMATION
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CRAFTWORLD ELDAR
For more information on the background of the Eldar, please purchase the Warhammer 40,000 Eldar Codex
from Games Workshop. Alternatively you can visit Games Workshops website for more information.
THANK YOU
A big thank you has to go to the EPIC UK committee; without their enthusiasm, for a game that they love,
this army book wouldnt be a reality. The wish and will to improve a fantastic tournament wargame, within the
UK, has been their only payment.
A big thank you also has to go to Games Workshop; without their imagination, creativeness and support this
game would not be around today. A special thank you has to go to Jervis Johnson and all the Fanatic team,
both past and present.
Also a big thank you has to go to all the independent EPIC developers, especially the army developers on
the Tactical Command internet forum. Without their ideas some of the developments within this book would
not be a reality.

EPIC UK Craftworld Eldar: What, How and Why

BIEL-TAN CRAFTWORLD ELDAR SPECIAL RULES

FARSIGHT
Eldar formations that include a unit with the farsight ability may ignore the -1 penalty to
Action test rolls when attempting to retain the initiative.
In addition once per turn the Eldar player may attempt to retain the initiative twice in a row
(i.e. allowing the Eldar player to take 3 activations in a row). Any Eldar formation may be
selected, including those without a unit with farsight, but at least one unit with the farsight
ability must be in play on the battlefield.
The formation selected must still carry out an action test with a -1 modifier, unless the
selected formation has a unit with the farsight ability.
HIT AND RUN
Eldar formations that select an advance or double action may choose to shoot either
before or after each move, but may still only shoot once. If the formation chooses to
double the -1 to hit penalty applies even if the shot is taken before moving.
Eldar formations that win an assault may consolidate up to their speed value rather than
the normal 5cms.
HOLOFIELDS
Holofields provide Eldar Titans with a 3+ saving throw. This save may always be taken
even against weapons with the macro weapon or titan killer abilities. If an Eldar Titan has
reinforced armour it may use its re-roll unless hit by a lance, macro weapon or titan killer
attack but the re-roll uses the Titans armour value.
Hits saved by the holofield do not generate blast markers, even if they have the disrupt
ability. Against titan killer attacks that cause extra damage make one holofield save roll, if
this is successful the Eldar Titan takes no damage, if the roll fails the Titan suffers all the
damage.
Holofield saves can be reduced by modifiers such as the -1 to saves from a cross fire and
weapons with the sniper ability.
LANCE
When units with reinforced armour are hit by a weapon with the lance ability they do not
get to re-roll failed armour saves.

WEBWAY PORTAL
A Craftworld Eldar army that includes any webway portals may place up to three
formations in reserve for each webway portal included in the army, infantry units in these
reserve formations may count as mounted in their transports. These formations may enter
play by activating and moving onto the table through a friendly webway portal during the
game, measuring their first move from any part of the position the portal occupies on the
battlefield.
A webway portal may only be used once per turn, and if the formation fails to activate and
chooses not to enter play this still counts as using the portal that turn.
Only infantry, light vehicles or armoured vehicles with the walker ability may use webway
portals.
MAY NOT GARRISON
Only Eldar Ranger and War Walker troupes may set up using the tournament game
garrison rule (6.1.5).
SPIRIT STONES
Formations that purchase the Spirit Stone upgrade gain the Leader ability. This is a
formation wide ability and is not tied to any one unit within the formation.

EPIC UK CRAFTWORLD ELDAR

WHAT, HOW AND WHY
So youve just finished reading through the new EPIC UK Craftworld Eldar codex, however you have some
questions; what has EPIC UK done? How have we done it and why? Well this part of the army book is here
to help you out!
Below you will find out what weve done, how and why we did it. Have a read though this and find out what
was in the EPIC UK teams head when we designed the different Eldar Craftworld army lists.
THE BIEL-TAN ARMY LIST
So what changes have we made to the Biel-Tan list, firstly we re-introduced the option of Spirit Stones back
into the list which had been removed in the 2008 review. However instead of a blanket special rule it now has
to be purchased as an upgrade, allowing it to be focused on the small and fragile support formations it was
originally intended for.
The Scorpion had also suffered with the change to the pulse rule which had reduced its effective fire power.
It no longer competed with other support choices in the Eldar list and also lacked any real utility when
compared to the excellent Falcons. Some options we considered were changing its shuriken cannon to an
Eldar missile launcher (didnt fit the model or really solve the problem) or more radically upping its rate of fire
from 2 to 3 shots (which proved too powerful), but in the end we decided to go with a range increase on the
main weapon to 75 cm.
Howling Banshee Aspect Warriors have proven the weakest of the aspect warriors over the years and had
virtually disappeared from tournament games so to address this the CC value was increased from 3+ to 2+
and a note was also added to the Exarch character entry that when added to a Howling Banshee Aspect
Warrior unit its extra attack also gained the First Strike ability.
Another fairly iconic formation that was rarely seen was the Phoenix Bomber; again a number of options
were discussed for these mostly revolving around different weapon configurations but in the end it was
decided to keep it simple and decrease the formations cost from 400 to 350 points.
Other changes made to address some minor balance concerns were to remove Scout from Warp Spider
Aspect Warriors (Seen as one of the most powerful aspect choices) and also reduce the armour save of
Eldar Jetbikes from 4 to 5+ (Not inherently overpowered although with a potential to be spammed this
change was more to reintroduce an Eldar feel to the formation and means a degree of care is required in
their use, it also makes the Vyper a better choice with its 4+ armour).
UPDATED BIEL-TAN ARMY LIST
The main changes to the Biel-Tan list are to reduce the cost by 50 points of the almost never seen Phoenix
Bomber formation. Also the Void Spinner has been found to be a very powerful choice and has received a
small points increase which has necessitated it being split off into its own formation. The Cobras main gun
has also been improved to make this very rarely taken Engine of Vaul a viable choice.
Other changes include a points discount for larger Engine of Vaul formations to make them a more viable
choice. The Phantom Titans Pulsars have also been improved from MW3+ to MW2+ to make them a
slightly better choice. Also a few changes have been made to the weapon configurations for Exarch
characters dependant on aspect type.
Finally the option to take Falcons as a transport option for Aspect Warriors has been tidied up and reduced
in cost.

26

THE IYANDEN ARMY LIST

Once the largest and most powerful of Craftworlds; a devastating attack by the Tyranids has left Iyanden
shattered and a place where the dead outnumber the living. To represent this, the army has a number of
restrictions on the formations it may take.
Firstly armies of Iyanden are limited to two support troupes for each Spirit Host or Guardian Warhost taken
as a core choice. But even with this tighter restriction other limitations apply. The dead now form the bulk of
Iyandens armies in the form of the Spirit Hosts, silent ranks of deadly Wraithguard. Because of this no
more than a single Guardian Warhost or Aspect Troupe (the large Aspect Warhosts of Biel-Tan are
replaced by the smaller six unit Aspect Troupes in the Iyanden list) may be taken for each Spirit Host in the
army, in addition you may not have more Ranger or Wind Rider Troupes than Spirit Hosts. Alongside
these restrictions the army also loses access to the Biel-Tan specific Void Spinner and the Avatar loses the
attendant court of the young king. The Autarch is also replaced by a more suitable army commander in the
form of a powerful Wraithseer.
To make up for this the armies of Iyanden gain the powerful Spirit Host as a core choice, formed of six
Wraithguard units and a Spiritseer character. As well as the option of a support Spirit Troupe composed of
six Wraithlords.
These powerful and extremely tough formations means Iyanden plays very differently to other Eldar armies
relying on an initial hopefully devastating attack using Storm Serpent or Vampire deployed Spirit Hosts to
make up for a lack of numbers, speed and flexibility.
UPDATED IYANDEN ARMY LIST
All relevant changes from the Biel-Tan update have been included.
The main change to the Iyanden army list is a slight increase in cost for the extremely powerful Spirit Hosts.
Also the lists structural requirements limiting other living troop types relative to the number of Spirit Hosts
taken has been tightened further.
THE SAIM-HANN ARMY LIST
Although a large craftworld like Saim-Hann might have access to almost all the Eldar support options it was
decided that this list would represent a fast moving raider style of army dominated by the large Jetbike
formations of the Wild Rider Hosts. Because of this, support troupes have been limited to a maximum of
two per host and the heavier and slower (relatively) choices represented by the large Phantom and Warlock
Titans have been removed from the list.
Although Rangers and War Walkers are slow it was decided to leave them in the list to represent a forward
scouting element to the larger raiding force. At the same time aspect warriors other than the speedy
Swooping Hawks and Shining Spears have been moved to a mechanised support troupe. Guardians are
also removed from the list as they are assumed to be part of the Wild Rider Warhosts and the Void
Spinner is removed as this is only commonly available to Biel-Tan. In the Saim-Hann list the Autarch of
Biel-Tan is replaced by the Wild Rider Chieftain, leader of a powerful Wild Rider clan. Also the Avatar loses
its attendant court of the young king.
The list gains a core choice of the Wind Rider Host composed of nine Saim-Hann Wild Rider Jetbike
units. It also gains access to a Mounted Farseer unit who can add Farsight and the ability to summon the
Avatar to these powerful and mobile formations.
Also available to Saim-Hann is the Vampire Hunter which replaces the standard Vampire Raider, it is a
heavily armed variant of this deadly aircraft that can be used to support the fast moving jetbikes with its twin
pulsar and missile launchers.

27

UPDATED SAIM-HANN ARMY LIST

All relevant changes from the Biel-Tan update have been included.
The Saim-Hann army list has proven slightly underpowered, because of this a number of changes have been
made. The Saim-Hann Wild Riders formation has been reduced in points. The formation has also received
the spirit stones upgrade as an option. The Mounted Farseer and Saim-Hann Wild Riders upgrade options
have also received points drops.
The Wild Rider Chieftain has received a slight boost with the addition of a Shuriken Cannon. Finally the
option of a second Exarch has been added to the Aspect Warrior Hosts.
THE ULTHW ARMY LIST
Ulthw is renowned for its great number of Seers and also the Black Guardians that form the bulk of its
armies. Because of this, it was decided to again impose a limitation of two troupes for each core Black
Guardian Host to keep the focus of the list strongly on these. The composition of the Black Guardian Host
was also changed slightly from the Guardian Warhosts of other craftworlds with the inclusion of a second
Farseer unit and a slight cost increase to 175 points was introduced to account for this and other
advantages.
The large Aspect Warhosts of Biel-Tan were replaced by the support choice of an Aspect Troupe and the
Autarch was replaced by the Iconic Seer Council of Ulthw. The Avatar again loses the Biel-Tan specific
attendant Court of the Young King.
The main change to Ulthw was an increase in strategy rating from the Eldar standard of 4 to 5 which
represents the abilities of its Seers to predict the future. This is a powerful boost when combined with the
deadly rolling assaults and multiple retains of an Eldar army, but Ulthw must use these strengths to make
up for a lack of flexibility and the generally fragile core of its Black Guardian Hosts.
UPDATED ULTHW ARMY LIST
All relevant changes from the Biel-Tan update have been included.

Well I hope this answers your questions of What, How and Why. If not please send the EPIC UK team an
email and we will try to answer any queries you may have.
Thank you
