Craftworld army list

A Dying Race

The Eldar are not a numerous people and every loss in battle brings them a step closer to extinction. Wherever possible they must recover the spirit stones of the fallen to place in their Craftworld's infinity matrix.

The Eldar must deduct the morale value of any detachments reduced to half strength from their army morale as normal. In addition, if a detachment is wiped out (or if a war engine is wrecked or destroyed) the Eldar's army morale is reduced by an additional D3 points to represent the fact that the spirit stones are lost forever.

Detachment Cards

Eldar detachments are smaller than those of other races because of their desperate lack of numbers. To illustrate this Eldar Detachment cards are slightly different from the standard ones. We haven't been able to include a separate pad of Eldar Detachment cards due to lack of space, however you will find a blank Eldar detachment card at [Blank Eldar detachment card] [Armies Book page 75] which you can photocopy. Alternatively you could simply write the details onto a standard Detachment card and leave the unused spaces blank.

Holo-fields

Eldar Titans are protected by a holo-field which is projected from wings mounted atop their carapace. This fractures the image of the Titan making it appear to be a swirling, dancing cloud of coloured motes. It is very hard to target an Eldar Titan with any degree of certainty and even the most advanced tracking systems are thwarted by the swirling energies of a holo-field.

Because of this Eldar Titans receive a 2+ saving throw against any and all hits they take, rather like a unit with the Save special ability does. Note that this save applies to all attacks, even ones that normally ignore void shields and power fields and it applies to hits suffered in close combat.

However, Eldar Titans are very lightly constructed compared to the metres-thick armour of an Imperial Titan or the regenerative abilities of Tyranid bio-Titans. For this reason, any hit which is not saved by the holo-fields automatically causes a critical hit. Note that attacks which normally cause critical damage automatically (Death Rays for example) do not cause any additional critical hits — there's only so much damage a single shot can inflict!
