Confirmed Eldar Rumors?



So another round of Eldar rumors are making their way through the internet and the two questions I always think are this- how will the updates affect my Saim-Hann army, and will new rules and inclusions expand the strategy of my Harlequins and how that army plays.

Of course bolted on over this is the changes 6th edition will bring to the game.

First rumor which we can be is “true” is a vampire flyer, probably based on the forge world model. This will be very interesting especially with the change to the flyer rules and the different tiers of height for the game-my ground troops battling it out on the bottom and flyers dueling overhead.

Harlequins making their way through the webway have no need for such a thing, but my Saim-Hann- YES, YES, YES! Imagine two or three of these guys flying through the air with some jetbikes and vypers in support. Second big question will GW actually release a model? Probably not, just like Tyranids, and Necrons, but at least I could in theory hit up forge world or some Dark Eldar stuff.

Next is the Solitare, which is right there with the Harlequins- probably an HQ choice of sorts, maybe based on the old Solitare stuff. Will have to wait and see.

Dragon Riders, and exodites- not my cup of tea, but the option would be nice for those with that interest, or if you want Eldar flying around on dragons and stuff. Fantasy high elf models as a base crossover?

Aspect Warriors?

Of course it goes without saying to make them cheaper and better to keep up with marines, but that won’t happen. Two more types- I’m betting the jetpack dudes, and maybe a heavy support aspect along the lines of ordinance.

What I’m really hoping for is an expansion on the psyhicic powers for HQ choices and expanded Warlock stuff- give me the Eldar version of Crypteks and I will worship at thy throne! I’m also liking the idea of a “farseer” wraithlord which would be even cooler!

...and even better- if I can swap out a force org chart for another as suggested in 6th, along with a cheaper in points codex, and guys playing 2500 point games as the standard that mean my clown count goes up from the current 30 to like 40-50! Imagine an entire troupe on the table.

What other "serious" wargame lets you play with clowns as a unit choice?
Eldar!
