Eldar Alaitoc Craftworld Army List

There is no corner of the galaxy that has not felt the eagle-keen gaze of Alaitoc.

Elarique Swiftblade, Autarch of Alaitoc

Forces

The Eldar Alaitoc Craftworld Army List uses the datasheets from the Alaitoc Eldar Forces section.

Using The Army List

Eldar Alaitoc Craftworld formations come in three types, the first two are warhost and troupe formations. Each warhost you include in the army allows you to field any three troupe formations. Although you can only take a troupe formation if you first take a warhost, they are treated as separate independent formations during a battle and do not have to move around together. The third type of formation are Alaitoc Craftworld Spacecraft, Aircraft & Titan formations. A maximum of up to a third of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.

Finally, Alaitoc Craftworld Individuals includes special characters, formations and objective options. Each individual may only be taken once by the army. The rules for using each individual are listed in the Notes column.

The army list includes the following information:

Formation
The name of the formation.
Units
The core units that make up the formation.
Extras
An Eldar formation may include any of the extra units listed in the Extras column. You may include any number of extra units in a formation unless it is specifically noted otherwise. All of the core and extra units in a formation count as being part of one formation. The different units may not move off on their own.
Cost
The points value of the formation.

Special Rules

The Hit & Run Tactics rule applies to all Eldar formations (see Hit & Run Tactics). Additionally, certain units and weapons have special abilities described in Farsight (see Farsight) and Eldar Technology (see Eldar Technology).

Trail Blazing

Only Alaitoc Eldar Pathfinders, Rangers and War Walkers are allowed to garrison objectives in the Epic tournament game scenario. Additionally, Alaitoc Ranger units count as Guardians for the purposes of transport.

Eldar Alaitoc Craftworld Army List

Eldar Alaitoc Craftworld armies have a strategy rating of 4. Avatar, Aspect Warrior, Phantom, Revenants and Warlock formations have an initiative rating of 1+. All other formations have an initiative rating of 2+.

Alaitoc Craftworld Individuals
(Up to one of each type of individual may be taken per army.)
Type Notes Cost
0–1 Avatar In the Strategy Phase of any turn place the Avatar within 15cm of a Farseer before making a strategy roll. The Avatar counts as its own formation and may only enter play in this manner. In the End Phase of that turn remove the Avatar before rallying formations. Once the Avatar has been removed it may not return. Free
0–1 Wraithgate At the start of the game nominate one objective on your half of the table as a Wraithgate before setting up spacecraft and garrisons. The Wraithgate functions both as a Webway Portal and as an objective for the rules purposes. It may not be destroyed. Only formations consisting completely of infantry units, light vehicle units or armoured vehicles units with the Walker ability may use the Wraithgate to enter play. +50 points

Farsight

Eldar Farseers are able to partially unravel the threads of time, allowing them to foresee events that may affect his army, and act to counter them. To represent this, any Eldar formation that includes a unit with Farsight may ignore the -1 Action test penalty when they try to retain the initiative.

In addition, once per turn the Eldar player may attempt to retain the initiative twice in a row (i.e. the Eldar player can retain the initiative and take another action after having successfully retained the initiative once already). Any Eldar formation may be chosen, including those that do not include a unit with Farsight, but at least one unit with Farsight must still be in play and on the battlefield. The formation must still pass an initiative test in order to carry out the action, and will suffer the -1 modifier for retaining the initiative unless it includes a unit with Farsight. Once the action has been taken the initiative returns to the opposing player.

Hit & Run Tactics

The Eldar are a dying race, and any loss is deeply mourned. Because of this they have developed tactics that, when combined with their highly advanced technology, allows them to attack the enemy and then quickly retire in order to avoid any return fire. This special ability is reflected by the following special rules, which apply to all formations in an Eldar army.

Eldar formations that take advance or double actions may choose to shoot either before or after each move. However, they may still only shoot once during the action. For example, an Eldar formation taking an advance action could shoot and then move or move and then shoot, while a formation taking a double action could shoot and move twice, move twice and then shoot, or move then shoot and then move again.

In addition Eldar formations that wins an assault are allowed to move any distance up to their speed value when they consolidate, rather than being limited to a move of 5cm as would normally be the case.

Eldar Technology

The Eldar are a technologically sophisticated race that make use of a number of devices that have capabilities far in advance of anything used by the other races in the galaxy. These technological advantages are represented in Epic by the following special rules:

Holofield
Eldar Titans are protected by a Holofield that is projected from special wing-like structures on the Titan’s carapace. These fracture the image of the Titan making it appear as a swirling cloud of coloured motes to the naked eye, while at the same time disrupting any targeting devices attempting to lock onto the Titan. The overall result is to make the Titan a very hard target to hit! Holofields provide Titans with a special 3+ saving throw that can be taken instead of the Titan’s normal saving throw. This save may always be taken, even against hits in an assault or against Titan Killer or Macro-weapons attacks. Make a single saving against weapons with the Titan Killer ability, rather than a separate save for each point of damage. If a vehicle with a Holofield also has Reinforced Armour, then it is allowed to re-roll its saving throw unless hit by Lance, Macro-weapon or Titan Killer attacks, but the re-roll must be made using the units armour save rather than the Holofield save. No Blast markers are placed for hits that are saved by a Holofield.
Lance
A Lance uses a highly concentrated beam of laser energy to destroy heavily armoured targets. A unit with Reinforced Armour that is hit by a Lance weapon is not allowed to re-roll its saving throw.
Webway Portal
Webway portals are used by the Eldar to safely travel through the Warp. Each Webway Portal included in the army allows the Eldar player to pick up to three other formations, and keep them back on the Craftworld. Any formation’s that are kept on the Craftworld may enter play via the Webway Portal, by taking an action that allows them to make a move, and then measuring their first move from the position that a Webway Portal occupies on the tabletop. Note that the formation may appear through any Webway Portal, not just the one that was used to allow the formation to be kept off-board. No more than one formation may travel through each Webway Portal each turn.
In the Epic Tournament Game Rules formations in reserve with multiple deployment options must have a designated deployment method during setup (e.g. Webway Portal, air transport or teleport).
