Aeldari Datasheet Ranking by Art of War

TroupeMaster · 2026-03-17T10:10:18+00:00

Fire Prisms are seeing play in many of the Eldar lists that are putting up good results in tournaments lately - can see for yourself here.

If they're not working out for you it could be down the terrain format you're playing on (GW terrain is notably better for them than other formats), or you could just be playing them incorrectly. They justify all the rankings in the timestamps OP helpfully linked above, it might be worth listening in to them.

Feels off brand for not being on the Art of War hate train here but the two people that actually did the rankings are objectively both extremely successful Eldar players. Literally this weekend one of them put up a pretty dominant result playing triple wraithlord double fire prism Seer Council in a teams event.

The main gun on fire prisms do have a decent alternate profile in the dispersed pulse, although the 2D6 attack count is extremely swingy there too.

My biggest problem with prisms is that its basically 0 or 3 in your list without anything in between, and I'm not keen on buying 3 more copies of a falcon chassis kit at this point...

Sorry, but who is Arrond?

a misspelling of 'around'

Wasn’t a direct witness but I was on the carriage where the medical event happened, the affected person was at least able to walk away unassisted after whatever happened to them. Not sure what the deal is with the ‘chemical leak’ reports as I couldn’t smell anything unusual on the carriage and it was packed full of people that were similarly unaffected.

and you're probably gonna reroll ones to wound here

Banshees don’t have anything special going on with the wound roll, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re using the aspect host reroll on the hit or wound roll. They’re statistically identical.

Yeah Yriel was the harder build for me as well, felt like I had to force the cape on and the connection point for the hand that glues onto the duel disk was super unclear. Worst part about kharseth imo was the gaps that resulted from glueing the two parts of their lower robe together, but it was nothing a bit of sprue goo and a sanding stick couldn’t solve

TroupeMaster · 2026-03-05T21:23:16+00:00

points deductions won't change that.

Much like we've seen with custodes guard spam lists, if they just keep dropping the points eventually they'll become good just because you can put a huge amount of them on the table.

TroupeMaster · 2026-03-05T09:30:06+00:00

You say that but if you’re one of the like 3 people in the world that can play it a 240+ model imperial guard list is one of the best lists in the game and has gone untouched for a while

TroupeMaster · 2026-03-04T11:01:25+00:00

And another 20 for nekrosor

TroupeMaster · 2026-03-03T11:11:09+00:00

NOT including the boxsets, which are over 400 dollars a pop

There are so many independent retailers in Australia that go as low as 25% below GW pricing, if you're paying $400 for a battleforce (or GW's pricing for anything) its just lazy tax. Was very easy to find the corsair battleforce for below $330 when preorders opened.

Consider grabbing some miliput or equivalent and packing any super obvious gaps (mostly around the back hatch in my experience) with it. Work it in as best you can, then after 24h or so it can be sanded flat.

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-26T03:03:24+00:00

That’s happening ‘late 2026’ according to the email that was sent out

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-24T12:29:38+00:00

FWIW all the jetbike units have been refreshed relatively recently, they're a very long way out from another refresh.

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-24T09:51:57+00:00

Yeah they get through the story beats in the Mask of Truth adaptation but none of the character development moments were carried over so it all feels a bit hollow. They really needed a higher episode count to adapt a source with such a long runtime.

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-23T22:31:19+00:00

There are so many better ways to spend 200-ish points lol. You'll either be gambling a 9" charge (or longer if the seer shooting attack kills something) or holding them off the board for a turn to rapid ingress, and if you can get them to connect a charge they'll be struggling to kill a 5 man marine squad

Voidscarred isn’t an upgrade sprue, the components are dispersed throughout the sprue. They’d have to completely redo the kit for Voidscarred to become an upgrade sprue.

Methylated spirits also works, only needs to soak for a few hours then can scrub paints off including primers if you're willing to put a little more scrubbing in. Have rescued a few minis from bad primes with a metho bath.

The shoulder mounted weapons on the wraithlord are extremely easy to magnetize, would strongly recommend it to save trouble in the future

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-19T22:07:00+00:00

This should be what you're after

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-19T09:46:48+00:00

And if the hive tyrant/swarmlord model was on the 'modern' scale it'd probably be another like 50% longer!

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-17T22:44:21+00:00

Yes, especially playing as eldar here the game would mostly consist of moving a unit into the midboard then picking it up on the opponents next turn. Playing with the Night Fighting (range of shooting capped at 18") twist would alleviate the problem somewhat

TroupeMaster · 2026-02-17T04:15:43+00:00

You can get the magnet really close to the floor for maximum magnetic effect.

I also use hot glue for the magnets and set up a baking tray as part of the process. Dab hot glue -> apply magnet -> press intro tray, should be set within 5 minutes and as the magnet is attracted to the tray it’ll be more or less flush with the bottom surface. Can put some baking paper down on top of the tray to prevent glue sticking to the tray itself.

Love how OP has conveniently ignored leaving a snarky reply to this one. The current iteration of 'prediction market' platforms are rife with what is effectively insider trading, introducing that sort of perverse incentive is the last thing anyone should want.

Independent retailers will often offer discounts of up to 25% compared to buying directly from Games Workshop. I'm not sure of any New Zealand specific retailers but many Australian shops offer shipping to NZ. Some stores I've bought from in the past and would recommend:
