- 1 - CODEX Eldar UPDATE This update is designed to incorporate all of the new rules and units to the 2nd edition Eldar army list. In effect these rules are simply ‘bolted’ on to the existing list. Contents General Changes Exarch’s  1 Weapons 1 Additional Warlock Powers 2 Additional Wargear Cards Vehicles  Vehicle Squads Falcon Grav Tank 2 Fire Prism Grav Tank 3 Wave Serpent Grav Tank 3 Vehicle Cards 3 Craftworld Armies 5 General changes and additions to the Eldar list All the following amendments apply Exarch’s When choosing Exarch’s you may only give them shrine specific wargear if that type of aspect warrior appears in the army. For example an Exarch may only take Dark Reaper equipment if that squad appears in the army. Also a shrine specific Exarch must lead a squad from its shrine. This prevents random Exarch’s simply turning up. You can still make up your own Exarch’s though, they will just not have access to the Exarch wargear list. Also you cannot mix equipment from different shrines. So no Wings and missile launcher combo’s or jump generators with banshee masks! Eldar Weaponry The Eldar have a superior grasp of technology to other races. The following changes apply tocertain Eldar weapons. Fusion Gun To represent the Eldar’s superior technology replace the meltagun entry with the Fusion Gun one.

Special Fusion Gun 6 12 +1 - 8 D6 -4 2D6+8 Metal Flayer Lasgun An Eldar Lasgun is capable of faster and more prolonged bursts than their Imperial counterparts. To represent this, Eldar lasguns have a long range of 30” Missile Launcher An Eldar Missile Launcher comes with plasma instead of frag missile. Where an entry in the list reads that a missile launcher comes with frag missiles, it comes with plasma missiles instead Pulse Laser To represent the Eldar’s superior technology replace the lascannon entry with the Pulse Laser one. Where a lascannon would appear in the Eldar list, such as a Grav Platfrom, Dreadnought, War Walker and Falcon Grav Tank it is simply replaced. In effect the Eldar cannot have lascannons! This weapon costs 35 points so add +5 points to all lascannon entries in the list (as it becomes a Pulse Laser) Range S L To Hit S L Str. Dam. Save Mod. Arm. Pen.
