NERFED? – Why Are There TWO Holofields Now?

It’s a MYSTERY! What the heck is happening to the Eldar Holofields?

First we get a Rulebook FAQ that says skimmers (and heavy vehicles) can no longer use their ‘jink’ ability if they are immobilized, making them a little less effective for Wave Serpents.

Now with the new Harlequin Starweaver rules there is a new holofield entry that looks very similar another Holofield that Eldar players have come to know and love for a few years.

Let’s take a look!

This is the Holofield entry from Codex Eldar.

Now the entry from what will be the Codex Harlequins!

See what I mean? It’s literally the same fluff and title BUT DIFFERENT RULES!!!

Now I’m sure everyone will have their own theory out there, about what all this means. Remember though,  we saw a similar thing with the Space Wolves ‘Sock’ power and how the 7th Edition rule for the Necron’s ‘Tesla’ fell along the train of thought.

So what should we expect from a 7th Edition version of the Holofields, or have we already seen it here?
