Lots of Bad Units: The early 8th Craftworld codex has, bluntly, been left behind by design trends, and a lot of the units are just outright not very good any more. Fragile: Stacking hit modifiers was Eldar’s marquee defensive trick for a lot of 8th, and in 9th you, uh, can’t. 
Good Go-wide Shooting: The combination of the Expert Crafters Craftworld trait and a variety of cheap platforms for heavy weapons lets you chip down your opponent’s units with a thousand cuts (and re-rolls). Powerful Psychic Powers: While the Warp Charge values are probably higher than they should be relative to how the game’s design has evolved, the effects of the better Eldar powers are some of the strongest in the game, and you get the extra flexibility of being able to swap Smite for utility options. High Mobility: Units tend to be fast relative to similar options in other armies, most vehicles FLY and your characters can ride jetbikes to get them wherever they need to be. As we’ll see, your prospects of pulling this off are currently…mixed. Your goal is to hit hard and fast, wiping out enemy units before they can counterattack, and splitting up their forces by engaging them on multiple fronts at once. The Craftworld’s codex provides you with a toolbox of mobile and deadly units, and the game it wants you to play focuses around that theme. 
I’m also joined by fellow Craftworld devotee Boon to give his thoughts on how the faction is shaping up right now and a few insights on some tricks he’s a particular fan of.Īrmy Overview Credit: Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones As with the rest of our “getting started” guides, this article isn’t going to go through every single unit and option in the codex in exhaustive detail, focusing only on the ones that are generally at least somewhat competitive and giving a quick explanation on why some of the other ones don’t get there. Like the other articles in this series, this one will focus on the core of what the Craftworlds Codex has to offer you, outlining the key units and strategies that form the bread and butter for players using them at every level. If you want to play an army of sleek, elegant vehicles filled backed up by deadly Wraith constructs and powerful psykers, supported by a wide array of devious tricks, this army could be for you. Welcome to our guide to learning how to wield the elegant, sophisticated weapon that is the armoury of the Craftworld Aeldari.
