Well the time has come for Eldar players.. our new codex!!! Soon I will be diving in to a new army book for my beloved Eldar. This is a breakdown of rumors (taken from BOLS)

Most of the rules information can be gathered from the Battle Report section of the White Dwarf. Here is what we know.

• Wraithknight: Can get Suncanons: S6 AP2 Blast Heavy 3. Twin-linked with Laser Lock if Scatter Lasers hit first. Jump Pack, Monstrous Creature, 6 Wounds, T8, (Scattershield) for Invulnerable Save
• Crimson Hunter (Fighter): Gets 2 Bright Lances and Pulse Laser : "Basically Four Lascannons" Gets a "Fighter Ace upgrade"
• The Hemlock (Bomber): Gets D-scythes (Str4) and Mindshock (Morale Check) Pod (Bomb)  Distort Rule (D-Weapons) any penetration roll of 6 auto pens regardless of strength.
• Psychic Powers: Fortune (Re-roll Saves), Quicken (Increased Movement), Guide (re-roll hits), Restrain (Opposite of Quicken) Two sets of powers accessible.
• Dire Avengers: Battlefocus: run and shoot in the same turn.
• Avatar: Fearless bubble, Fleet
• Wraithblades: T6 Forceshield Generator so invulnerable save
• Wraithlord: is still T8

The focus of the battle report was of course on the new units, especially the Wraithknight it is almost like GW wants us to buy a certain model or something...
Other little tidbits...

• Phil Kelly wrote the rules and Adam Troke the fluff.
• No price yet for Iyanden Supplement
• Wraithguard can get either Wraithcannon or the D-scythe so this might mean split on rules from the old dex between each weapon.
• The force organization of Eldar Unit hasn't changed just new models added into slots
• Wraithknight to Heavy Support
• Flyers to Fast Attack
• Wraithblades to Elite
• Spirit Seer to HQ
• Named Ranger to HQ
