Characters

Max 50% of army points value

An Avatar or a Farseer commands every army, unless the army is made up only of Harlequins.

A character pays from this band for its wargear and cards, and for any Jetbike or Vyper it rides. Any character but the Avatar or an Exodite Lord may ride either, and a Pirate Captain only while its squad rides Jetbikes.

Codex Eldar says each special character may carry its named cards, which could be read as a choice. This list makes every named card one the character must take.

Avatar

Avatar ×16101088710510
Avatar equipment and options
WeaponsWailing Doom
SpecialCommander

An Eldar army that fields the Avatar takes it as Commander, and no other model may be nominated. A Heroic Character whose Leadership matches the Avatar's does not displace it.

SpecialSpecial Invulnerabilities

Heat cannot hurt the Avatar. Melta weapons, plasma weapons and flamers leave it untouched, as do grenades and missiles that work by heat.

It is proof as well against gas weapons, against poisons such as Hellfire Shells and Toxin Grenades, against viruses, and against blinding attacks, a Photon Flash Flare among them.

SpecialPsychology and Leadership

Nothing in Psychology affects the Avatar, and it passes every test against its Leadership without rolling. It takes no Break Test and is never Broken.

The Avatar is not a living model, yet psychic attacks that call for no Leadership Test still affect it.

SpecialIron Body

The Avatar turns aside a hit on a D6 roll of 2+, thrown as an Armour Save is thrown. A Save Modifier still applies, but nothing drives the throw worse than 4+, however heavy the weapon. A Lascannon at -6 leaves the Avatar on 4+.

SpecialTerror
SpecialCounts as a Daemon

Anything made to harm daemons harms the Avatar. A Force Weapon, a Psycannon and the Destroy Daemon power all take it for one, as does any other weapon or Psychic Power that singles daemons out.

It works one way. The Avatar is granted nothing that daemons are granted, its Daemonic Aura included.

Exarch

50pts

An Exarch's Aspect and wargear need not match those of the army's Aspect Warrior squads.

Up to one per Aspect Warrior squad (Dire Avenger, Fire Dragon, Dark Reaper, Swooping Hawk, Howling Banshee, Shining Spear, Striking Scorpion or Warp Spider Squad)

SpecialArmour

Wraithguard have no Toughness. Each has instead an Armour Value, which is 10 on every facing, and a hit on it is resolved by a Penetration Test as a hit on a vehicle is. Each hit that equals or beats 10 calls for a D6 on the chart below.

Wraithguard Damage Chart (D6)

1–2
The model is knocked down unhurt. Getting up costs it the whole of its next Movement Phase, in which it may not move.
3–4
The model takes a wound, marked beside it. A second wound of this kind destroys it.
5+
The model is destroyed, and its spirit stone empties into the warp. Every model within 2" then rolls a D6 and is pulled after the stone and lost on a 6. Only living creatures, Wraithguard and Dreadnoughts are at risk; vehicles, support weapons and other lifeless things are not.
SpecialProximity to Eldar

Wraithguard act normally only while living Eldar remain on the table. A Wraithguard within 12" of a Farseer or a Warlock adds +1 to its To Hit rolls when shooting.

Once no living Eldar are left, the Wraithguard fall back at once towards their side's table edge, taking no other action. Caught in Hand-to-Hand Combat, they still fight, but inflict no hits in a round they win. The Avatar and Dreadnoughts are not living Eldar.

A Harlequin locked in Hand-to-Hand Combat as its turn opens may quit the fight in the Movement Phase, and none of what Breaking Off costs follows: the model is not Broken, and takes no blow as it withdraws.

It falls back a full Normal Move from the enemy it leaves, may be set down facing wherever its player chooses, and shoots afterwards as any model shoots. It may not pass out of one engagement straight into a second.

SupportAll models. May ride Jetbikes bought from Support. A squad on Jetbikes needs only five models, against ten on foot.

Equipment

Aspect Wargear

Dark Reaper Range Finder

The range finder is linked to the weapons its wearer carries and adds +1 To Hit with them, as a Targeter would. It also tracks fast targets: neither the Fast Moving Target nor the Very Fast Moving Target To Hit Modifier applies to its shots.

Swooping Hawk Wings

Wings count as a Jump Pack, with these differences. A leap is straight, 6" to 36" long, and tall obstacles cost it no distance. No Scatter Dice is rolled on landing, though no model may come down within 1" of cover, a building, a vehicle, an obstacle or another model, other winged models included.

A winged model leaping into Hand-to-Hand Combat may set down 1" or less from the enemy model it means to fight, while staying 1" clear of everything else named above. It gains none of the extra 4" a Jump Pack adds to a Charge. Any shot at a winged model counts it as a fast target, -1 To Hit, however short its leap.

As its Movement Phase begins, a squad of winged models may announce that it is leaving the battlefield, even from Hand-to-Hand Combat, where no blows are struck at it as it goes. The whole squad leaves the table together and makes no other move that turn. While away it does nothing, neither shooting nor dropping grenades.

When its next Movement Phase comes, the whole squad may land together anywhere on the table, into Hand-to-Hand Combat if desired, and makes no other move that turn. It may shoot as normal after landing but may not use grenades. A winged model that lands in Hand-to-Hand Combat gains +1 Weapon Skill as a charger. A character with wings, acting on its own as the rules for Heroic Characters allow, may leave the table and return in the same way.

Warp Spider Jump Generator

A Warp Spider squad can jump instead of making its normal move, but may not both jump and move normally in the same turn. It may also jump once the Shooting Phase is over, so it can jump, shoot and jump again in one turn. A jump ignores Terrain and may end inside a Building or bunker, but a Warp Spider may never enter or land on a vehicle.

The squad's jumps total no more than 18" in a turn, split as it likes across the Movement Phase and its jump after shooting. One model is moved first; the others are then placed within 6" of it and in Squad Coherency, so the rest need not match its distance exactly.

A jump may end in Hand-to-Hand Combat, whether made as its move or after shooting, and the combat then begins as normal. An enemy on Overwatch cannot fire at Warp Spiders arriving this way. The squad gains the usual +1 to its Combat Score for charging.

The squad may push its total past 18", to no more than 30", at a risk. Before any jump that takes it beyond 18" in the turn, whether a long first jump or a further one after shooting, each Warp Spider rolls a D6. Beyond 18" and up to 24" a model is destroyed in the warp on a 6; beyond 24" and up to 30", on a 5+.

Warrior Powers

Each Exarch may buy no more than two different Exarch Warrior Powers, each at the price shown above. A Phoenix Lord carries up to three, named with its entry.

Crack Shot

When shooting, the model adds +1 to each D6 it rolls To Hit. It may also fire past a weapon's maximum range by up to half that range again. A shot in that extra band takes the weapon's Long Range modifier, and the +1 does not apply to it.

Turn Aside Blow

In Hand-to-Hand Combat the model may Parry without a sword or any other weapon able to parry. When it parries, it may make its opponent re-roll as many as two Attack Dice instead of one.

Disarm

When the model's Combat Score beats its opponent's in Hand-to-Hand Combat, it may give up its hits that turn to disarm its opponent. No hits are struck; instead the opponent loses one weapon, chosen by the model, which is destroyed for the rest of the battle.

Crushing Blow

In Hand-to-Hand Combat the model has +1 Strength. The bonus is added both to its own Strength and to the Strength of whatever close combat weapon it fights with.

Bounding Leap

The model may leap 4" in each Movement Phase as well as moving, whether it moves normally, Runs or Charges, though it may leap only once a turn. A leap carries it over any obstacle of up to human height, enemy models included, at no cost to its move. Once any Hand-to-Hand Combat phase ends, the model may also leap out of the fight without penalty.

War Shout

A model that Charges gives a War Shout and causes Fear, so the enemy it charges tests for Fear under the usual rules.

Fighting Fury

The model's Attacks characteristic goes up by 1.

Mighty Strike

When the model scores two or more hits, it may trade them all for one hit at +1 Strength for each hit after the first.

Sustain Attack

The model's Follow-Up Move may reach 4" rather than the usual 2".

Fast Shot

The model may fire twice in each Shooting Phase, choosing one target for both shots or a different target for each.

Tough

The model's Toughness characteristic goes up by 1.

Stealth

Shots at the model suffer -1 To Hit within Short Range and -2 within Long Range.

Battle Fortune

A failed Armour Save made with the model's Exarch armour may be re-rolled. Saves from any other protection it has get no re-roll.
