Monofilament Weapons
Many Eldar units use monofilament weapons, all of which work in a similar fashion by creating a dense monofilament mesh from a complex organo-polymer compound. This is released through thousands of microscopic firing ducts and woven into a net of monofilament wire by spinning gravity clamps. The victim’s own struggles bring about his doom, for the razor-net is so sharp it can reduce an entangled enemy to bloody chunks of flesh in seconds.

In addition, if a 6 is rolled To Wound when attacking with a weapon that has this special rule, the Wound is resolved at AP2 unless the weapon is AP1.
Prism Cannon
Typically mounted on Fire Prisms, prism cannons greatly amplify the power of a highintensity laser through priceless psychocrystal to generate a devastating blast. This can be focussed into a narrow beam or widened to destroy a broader area at will.

Shuriken Weapons
Shuriken weapons fire monomolecular bladed discs at an astonishing rate, each near invisible to the naked eye but hard enough to scythe through the foe with ease. These instruments of war are capable of firing up to a hundred shuriken in just a few seconds, a series of high-energy impulses originating at the rear of the weapon to propel the small but deadly projectiles through the barrel at terrific speed. Shuriken weapons come in many shapes and sizes, from the shuriken pistols carried by assault troops to the tank-mounted shuriken cannons utilised by the Engines of Vaul.

For example, if three models in a unit all score hits on the same target unit with weapons that have this special rule, all hits would be resolved at +2 Strength and -2AP.
Armour
Aspect Armour
Aspect armour is made of psycho-reactive material that reacts to the movements of the wearer, providing excellent, unhindered protection as it moulds and shapes to fit the wearer.
|
Aspect armour confers a 4+ Armour Save.
Heavy Aspect Armour
Incorporating thick armoured plates but retaining great flexibility, this armour is amongst the best in the known galaxy.
|
Heavy Aspect armour confers a 3+ Armour Save.
Mesh Armour
Mesh armour is comprised of thousands of tiny pieces of thermoplas that harden on impact to form effective, lightweight protection.
|
Mesh armour confers a 5+ Armour Save.
Phoenix Armour
The legendary Phoenix Lords wear ancient, invaluable Aspect armour so finely wrought it is proof against almost any weapon. These suits are studded with spirit stones, each of which contains the soul of an Exarch that has been incorporated into the Phoenix Lord’s gestalt spirit.
|
Phoenix armour confers a 2+ Armour Save.
Rune Armour
Eldar psykers fashion themselves elegant armour decorated with wraithbone runes. Said to pulse in time with the wearer’s heartbeat, rune armour offers protection against attacks both spiritual and physical in nature.
|
Rune armour confers a 4+ invulnerable save.
Treasures of Vaul
Profiles for the following treasures of vaul can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook:
• Haywire Grenades
• Melta Bombs
• Plasma Grenades
Banshee Mask
These amplify the Eldar’s battle cry, inflicting psychic paralysis.
|
A model equipped with a banshee mask causes Fear. In addition, models cannot fire Overwatch against units that contain at least one model equipped with a banshee mask.
Eldar Jetbike
Eldar jetbikes are swift, graceful mounts that enable their riders to soar across the battlefield raining death upon their foes.
|
A model riding an Eldar jetbike has a 3+ Armour Save and a twin-linked shuriken catapult. Their unit type also changes to Eldar Jetbike.
Forceshield
These powerful shield projectors can deflect almost any blow.
|
A model with a forceshield has a 4+ invulnerable save.
Ghosthelm
A ghosthelm conceals the presence of the wearer in the Warp.
|
If a model with a ghosthelm suffers an unsaved Wound from Perils of the Warp, he can prevent it by immediately expending a Warp Charge point (if he has one).
Grenade Pack
Grenade packs enable Swooping Hawks to drop explosives onto their victims as they soar overhead or dive down to the earth.
|
Any time a unit with a grenade pack enters play by Deep Strike and does not suffer a Deep Strike mishap, nominate one model in the unit immediately after it arrives. That model can make a single special shooting attack in the Movement phase with the profile below – this represents the unit’s grenade pack attack. A unit that fires grenade packs in the Movement phase can still shoot in the subsequent Shooting phase; however, it must target the same target unit if possible.

Skyburst: This shooting attack does not need line of sight. If the unit consists of at least six models with a grenade pack, the attack has the Large Blast special rule instead of the Blast special rule.
Heavy Weapon Platform
With the help of cunningly wrought anti-grav platforms, Eldar Guardians bring heavy fire support to the fight.
|
One Guardian from the same unit as, and within 2" of, a Heavy Weapon Platform may fire the platform instead of his shuriken catapult, counting as having the Relentless special rule. If there are no Guardians left in the unit, remove the heavy weapons platform as a casualty. Weapons platform models are ignored when allocating Wounds from Look Out, Sir rolls.
Mandiblasters
Mandiblasters spit needle shards that channel a deadly laser blast.
|
During the Fight sub-phase, at the start of the Initiative 10 step, roll a D6 for each model equipped with mandiblasters. On a result of 4+, an enemy unit that is engaged with the model (attacking player’s choice) suffers a single Wound (saving throws can be taken as normal). Gargantuan Creatures suffer a Wound on a result of 6+ instead of 4+.
Reaper Rangefinder
Mounted in the helmet vanes of the Dark Reapers are highly advanced targeters that calculate telemetries in the blink of an eye.
|
Enemies cannot take Jink or Cover saves against shots fired by a model equipped with a reaper rangefinder.
Scattershield
Used to protect precious Eldar war-constructs, scattershields are gigantic fan-shaped shield generators that convert the energy of incoming attacks into blinding sprays of multicoloured light.
|
The bearer has a 5+ invulnerable save. Whenever the bearer passes one or more saving throws using its scattershield, all enemy units within 6" must test as if they had just been hit by a weapon with the Blind special rule.
Shimmershield
This advanced field generator projects a glittering force field to protect both the user and the warriors who accompany him.
|
The bearer and his unit have a 5+ invulnerable save.
Swooping Hawk Wings
Swooping Hawk wings utilise jet propulsion motors and anti-grav lifters hidden among their metallic feathers that enable their wearers to soar high above the battlefield.
|
A model equipped with Swooping Hawk wings gains the Jump unit type and the FLY keyword. When a unit composed entirely of models equipped with Swooping Hawk wings uses its jump packs in the Movement phase, it can move up to 18". Furthermore, the unit can choose to Skyleap instead of moving in the Movement phase, as long as it did not arrive from Reserves that turn and is not locked in combat or Falling Back. A Skyleaping unit is removed from the board and placed into Ongoing Reserve.
Warp Jump Generator
Wearing a bulbous Warp jump generator, an Eldar can make brief journeys through the Warp. Though this is an extremely dangerous tactic, it grants the wearer a distinct tactical edge.
|
A model equipped with a Warp jump generator gains the Jet Pack unit type. In the Movement phase, a unit composed entirely of models equipped with Warp jump generators can choose to either move 12" with the FLY keyword or make a Warp jump. If making a Warp jump, it immediately moves up to 2d6+12" in any direction (roll once per unit each turn), ignoring all intervening terrain and models. This move ignores dangerous terrain. If the 2D6 roll is a double 1, one member of the unit (randomly determined) is removed as a casualty. Warp jump cannot be used when the unit is Falling Back.
Remnants of Glory
Armour of the Last Runes
The masterwork runic patterns covering Eldrad’s breastplate are powerful wards against harm.
|
The Armour of the Last Runes confers a 3+ invulnerable save.

This monocular device is able to send a searing storm of lightning into those under Prince Yriel’s gaze, blasting through armour and flesh in a blazing flash.
|
One use only. In the Fight sub-phase, provided he is not in a challenge, Prince Yriel can make a special attack at his Initiative step instead of making any close combat attacks. Centre a large blast marker over Prince Yriel; all units (friend or foe) suffer a number of Strength 6 AP3 hits equal to the number of models from their unit at least partially under the template (excluding Prince Yriel). Only unsaved Wounds caused to enemy units count towards combat resolution.

The Scorpion’s Bite
The Scorpion’s Bite is a vastly superior mandiblaster constructed in ancient times. The helm-weapons of Karandras’ Striking Scorpion disciples are nothing compared to the fearsome artefact worn by this Phoenix Lord. Many are the foes felled by the Scorpion’s Bite, struck down in a blaze of burning energy before they have raised their weapons in defence.
|
During the Fight sub-phase, at the start of the Initiative 10 step, roll a D6. On a result of 2+, an enemy unit that is engaged with Karandras suffers a single Wound, with no armour saves allowed. Gargantuan Creatures suffer a Wound with no armour saves allowed on a result of 4+ instead of 2+. If Karandras is in a challenge, this Wound must be allocated to his opponent.

Soulrazor: When a model suffers one or more unsaved Wounds from this weapon, it must pass a separate Leadership test for each Wound suffered or be removed from play.
The Wailing Doom
Known to the Eldar as the Suin Daellae, the Wailing Doom is a shrieking blade many feet long that sends out murderous bolts of force as the Avatar strides to war and reaps a brutal tally at close quarters.

Voidshot: When rolling To Wound for a weapon that has this special rule, a roll of 6 causes a Wound with the Instant Death special rule. When making an Armour Penetration roll for a weapon that has this special rule, a roll of 6 causes a penetrating hit, regardless of the vehicle’s Armour Value.
Eldar Vehicle Equipment
A model can take up to one of each of the following:
Crystal targeting matrix
|
25 pts
|
1 If taken by a model in a vehicle squadron, all vehicles in the squadron must take this wargear.
2 Cannot be taken by a War Walker.
Crystal Targeting Matrix
Utilising advanced scanner technologies, this targeting matrix allows pinpoint fire even when on the move.
|
A non-Walker vehicle with this upgrade can fire one weapon, at the vehicle’s full Ballistic Skill, after moving Flat Out in the Shooting phase.
Ghostwalk Matrix
A ghostwalk matrix utilises the knowledge and wisdom contained within a spirit stone to guide the vehicle on its path.
|
A vehicle with this upgrade has the Move Through Cover special rule.
Holo-fields
Harnessing kinetic energy to shimmer and distort the vehicle’s silhouette, holo-fields prevent the foe from accurately targeting the craft as it sweeps across the battlefield.
|
A vehicle with holo-fields has a 5+ invulnerable save unless it is Immobilised.
Mindshock Pod
The multi-finned pod under the cockpit of a Hemlock Wraithfighter allows the psyker within to project the cold aura of the dead.
|
Enemy models within 12" of a model equipped with a mindshock pod subtract 2 from their Leadership when taking Morale, Pinning and Fear tests.
Power Field
Power fields reroute a portion of the vehicle’s energy supply to project a glimmering shield of protection around the vehicle.
|
A model with this upgrade has a 5+ invulnerable save.
Serpent Shield
When the Eldar Wave Serpents advance, they do so behind powerful shields. These can be discharged to unleash a bow wave of raw force that blasts the enemy from their feet.
|
All penetrating hits inflicted against the front or side armour of a vehicle equipped with a serpent shield are downgraded to glancing hits on a D6 roll of 2+.
Once per game, the serpent shield can be used as a weapon in the controlling player’s Shooting phase, with the profile below. This is treated as a hull-mounted weapon that is pointing forward.

Assault 2D6, Ignores Cover, One use only, Strikedown
|
For the remainder of the battle after the shooting attack has been resolved, all subsequent hits against the vehicle are treated as though the vehicle was not equipped with a serpent shield.
Spirit Stones
Some Eldar vehicles incorporate large spirit stones with a captive animus that can control the vehicle should it be disabled.
|
A vehicle with this upgrade ignores Crew Shaken results on a roll of 2+ and Crew Stunned results on a roll of 4+. Roll immediately when the result is suffered.
Star Engines
Whilst all Eldar vehicles are swift and agile, those that mount star engines are often able to move faster than the eye can follow. Lesser races can only marvel at the phenomenal speed and manoeuvrability of a craft so equipped.
|
A non-Walker vehicle with this upgrade can move up to 24" when Advancing rather than 2d6. A Walker with this upgrade instead Advances an additional 3" (this will normally be D6+3").
Vectored Engines
Vectored engines allow the pilot of an Eldar vehicle to rapidly alter its facing, placing deadly weapons, or stronger armour, to the fore. Often, this can mean the difference between sustaining critical damage and taking an indirect blow that can soon be shrugged off.
|
Unless it is Immobilised, a vehicle with this upgrade can pivot to face any direction immediately after resolving its shooting attack (in the Shooting phase).
