Faeit’s 40k Rumor Tarot: Eldar Farseers and Aspects
In the most recent turn of events this week, Eldar have made a strong appearance in the rumor/news, and definitely appear to be the next release.
Though I have seen within the Black Library and spoken to its most terrible guardian, I can never reveal what happened there; not to any man nor even the Emperor himself for I am so forsworn to powers beyond your knowledge.
I can only say that a time of inconceivable horror is about to begin. A time when mankind with all the might of the Imperium cannot endure when the strength of the Eldar fails. Even now, our doom stalks us across the stars.– at the Conclave of Har from The Har Transcriptorum
Eldar Plastic Farseer
While not much of a rumor, look what showed up yesterday. A plastic farseer is apparently ready to be released very soon. It looks like we are getting closer as more and more signs are pointing towards an Eldar release coming in June.
Eldar Release and Information
Following this weeks pic on the Eldar Farseer, some information started flowing. The most important of course is that unnamed people (their names held in confidence but some of the big boys) have said and confirmed that Eldar are indeed coming in June.
This of course follows the release orders of Hastings and what others have been saying. While earlier we had thought that “later in the year” meant November, it now looks very certain that Eldar are right around the corner.
Here are some of the latest rumors on rules
via an anonymous source from the Faeit 212 inbox
*Eldar are indeed coming.
*Path system has been revamped. Autarchs take paths that are now fixed in point cost (before they became more expensive the more you took) but do not make their aspect troops.
*Instead it allows corresponding aspects to be taken as compulsory troops.
*Ergo, the Path of the Striking Scorpions would allow you to take up to two striking scorpions as troops.
*If you also took the path of Swooping Hawks you could take up to two Swooping Hawks as troops or one and one.
*Guardians are a lot cheaper and have more options for special weapons.
*New transport for dire avengers / weapon platform (with no transport capacity).
*And lots of new goodies.
*If tau are the long range shooting army, eldar are a mix with potential units in short, mid and long range
*Long range comes almost exclusively from heavy support, however so you need to create a mix it seems.
*Aspects are still hyper focused and saw a very small decrease in points except fire dragons.
GW Army Builder Apps
I would really like to see an army builder app done from Games Workshop, and earlier the week we had a confirmation that one definitely was in the works. It looks like its being worked bit by bit to be released in stages.

Army building support is on the horizon with more and more features (like the psychic powers app) being added and integrated until it is something amazing.
It’s being worked on and improved part by part so that it can be released in stages (not as a money grab, as previous pieces are upgraded at low cost, and only full purchases reflect the current value) in order to get it into peoples hands as fast as possible.
Make sure to check back here at Bell of Lost Souls often to find out the latest on what is coming, and then join the conversation over on Faeit 212.
