via Games Workshop
Codex: Aeldari (Collectors’ Edition) $90
This edition is presented as a hardback with a black ribbon marker, soft touch cover, and silver foil blocking. This collectors’ edition of Codex: Aeldari is a limited print run and is only available while stocks last.
Codex: Aeldari (English) $55
The Aeldari once ruled the galaxy, before their civilisation collapsed under the weight of their hedonism. Now they are a dying and fractured race, their differing factions all finding ways to survive in a galaxy where their extinction seems inevitable. All members of Aeldari society depend on the power of their seers, the skills of their warriors, and the technological superiority of their sleek weapons and engines of war.
The Asuryani sail the sea of stars aboard massive starships called craftworlds, their citizens keeping to highly disciplined Paths to avoid drowning in the same decadence as their ancestors. The Harlequins are warrior-dancers who worship Cegorach, the Laughing God, and do not distinguish between art and war. Some, like the Corsairs, hark back to the individualism of old, plundering the space lanes for personal profit, while the Ynnari see the salvation of their race in grim unification under Ynnead, the God of the Dead.
This luxurious and expansive book is a must-have for Aeldari players and collectors. Not only does it provide you with the rules to play an Aeldari army, but it also contains loads of background lore, so you can learn all about the rise and fall of the Aeldari, how they wage war, the many Paths their society walks, and the diverse factions that exist beneath the Aeldari banner.
Inside this 200-page hardback book, you’ll find:
– In-depth background on the Aeldari, from their rise and fall to the many factions that split off from their original civilization, as well as information on multiple craftworlds such as Biel-Tan, Saim-Hann, Iyanden, and Ulthwé
– Majestic artwork depicting many aspects this once-great and still awe-inspiring civilization, from fearsome Aspect Warriors to roguish Corsairs
– All the rules you need to play an Aeldari army, be they craftworlders, Ynarri, Harlequins, Corsairs, or a mix, including 57 datasheets, from the war-forged Avatar of Khaine to the rank and file Guardian Defenders
– All the rules you need to lead Asuryani, Harlequin, and Ynarri forces in Crusade and narrative games, including Agendas, Battle Traits, Requisitions, Crusade Relics, and unique campaign structures for each faction of Aeldari
– An ‘Eavy Metal miniatures showcase full of lovingly painted Aeldari miniatures
Dark Reapers $60
The skull-helmed visage of the Dark Reapers is a spine-chilling sight in itself. These Aspect Warriors exemplify the War God as Destroyer, and their formidable warsuits echo that of their founder, Maugan Ra. Dark Reapers unleash blistering firestorms with their long-range Reaper Launchers, whether using infantry-shredding starswarm missiles or armour-piercing starshot variants. These salvoes are chillingly accurate, thanks not only to advanced targeting systems, but also to the Dark Reapers’ armour, which anchors them firmly to the ground while they fire, allowing them to devastate their foes from the safety of cover.
This kit builds one unit of Dark Reapers armed with reaper launchers, complete with their Exarch who can be built with a reaper launcher, shuriken cannon, aeldari missile launcher, or tempest launcher. The Exarch can be built holding a skull in their off-hand, and has a choice of four heads, while each Dark Reaper has a choice of helmeted or unhelmeted heads. Also included is a small miniature representing a Dark Reaper shrine.
This set comprises 82 plastic components and is supplied with 5x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases and 1x Citadel 25mm Round Base. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
Maugan Ra $45
Maugan Ra, also known as the Harvester of Souls, is the Phoenix Lord of the Dark Reapers – among the most grim and foreboding Aspects of the Asuryani. A master at killing from a distance, Maugan Ra wields the Maugetar. This scythe-like weapon fires mind-linked shuriken discs large enough to decapitate a swathe of foes before vanishing into nothingness. Should the enemy survive this barrage, they will meet a swift end on the curved edge of the Maugetar’s built-in reaping blade.
This kit builds Maugan Ra, the Harvester of Souls, armed with the deadly shuriken cannon Maugetar. Able to deliver the kiss of death from leagues away or cut down hordes of enemies like so much tall grass, Maugan Ra is a silent whirlwind of violence, the physical embodiment of the inevitability of death, and a powerful addition to any Aeldari army.
This set comprises 14 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
Guardians $55
So few in number are the Asuryani that every citizen must train for war, in case they should one day need to defend their craftworld. In times of peace these Aeldari pursue artistic and civic Paths, but when called upon, they don their war masks and take to the battlefield.
This kit builds 10 Storm Guardians, accompanied by a Serpent’s Scale Platform. Storm Guardians are skilled close combat troops, suited to claiming objectives with deadly blades and shuriken pistols, protected from enemy fire by the powerful forcefield of their floating Serpent’s Scale Platform. Other Storm Guardians bring special weapons to bear, burning foes out of cover with bursts from their flamers or melting through armoured bunkers with their fusion guns. This kit comes with a variety of Aeldari close combat weapons, flamers, and fusion guns, as well as 11 unhelmeted heads. You can also choose to build this kit as Guardian Defenders.
This set comprises 152 plastic components and is supplied with 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases, 1x Citadel 40mmm Round base, and 1x Aeldari Transfer Sheet. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
Warlocks $55
Seers who once trained as Aspect Warriors find it easier to develop destructive psychic powers. These Aeldari are known as Warlocks, and frequently band together in conclaves to pool their eldritch power, or else guide other Aeldari squads such as Guardians from the front. The warlocks bolster their warhost and wreak havoc on the foe by casting the Runes of Battle, and are equally skilled in combat, whether carving up enemies with their elegant witchblades or unleashing bolts of energy with their singing spears.
Warlocks are versatile psychic warriors, capable of supporting allies, cursing enemies, and lending power to allied Farseers. They can be included in your Aeldari army as individual characters, or taken as a unit of multiple psykers. This kit allows you to build one Warlock with an elegant witchblade, and one Warlock with a energy-infused singing spear, with a variety of arm options letting you create unique poses, plus a choice of two helmeted and two unhelmeted heads.
This set comprises 26 plastic components and is supplied with 2x Citadel 32mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
The Yncarne $50
The Yncarne is the embodiment of the Whispering God, Ynnead – the Aeldari God of the Dead. A macabre angel, both beautiful and terrifying to behold, the Yncarne is summoned to battle by the energy released when Aeldari lives are lost. Once it has torn into realspace, the Yncarne advances on its enemies shrouded in a psychic vortex of deathly whispers that rips the life from those who earn its ire. Nearby Ynnari are invigorated by its chilling power, while foes are turned to dust by the Yncarne’s gaze, or sliced in two by its sweeping blows with Vilith-zhar, the Sword of Souls – most powerful of the Croneswords in Aeldari possession.
This kit builds the Yncarne, the avatar of Ynnead, armed with Vilith-zhar, the shapeshifting Sword of Souls. Surrounded by a roiling ectoplasmic aura, the Yncarne can be built holding its mighty Cronesword in its longsword form, with the Aeldari rune of rebirth held in its right hand, or wielding the Sword of Souls as twinned short blades. Erupting onto the battlefield when allies die, this otherworldly entity wards its allies against the fear of death, and can fell any foe with its deathly touch.
This set comprises 36 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 80mm Round Bases. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints
Yvraine $38
Yvraine, known as the Daughter of Shades, is a fearsome warrior and psyker. She was once brought back to life by the power of the Aeldari God of the Dead and now operates as their emissary. In battle she wields the Cronesword Kha-vir, the Sword of Sorrows, which can turn an enemy to ash with the slightest touch. The power of Ynnead manifests when she fights, lending strength to the warriors around her such that they appear as blurs of violence.
This kit builds Yvraine and her Gyrinx familiar. Formidable in combat and an exemplary psyker, her poise and grace mask her merciless nature in battle. When her allies fall, she gains strength from them, thanks to her pact with Ynnead, the Aeldari God of the Dead.
This set comprises 19 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 75mmx42mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
The Visarch $33.50
Striding into the fray with the confidence of a master swordsman, the Visarch echoes the Aeldari at the height of their power – Yvraine’s escort, teacher, and confidante, and an integral part of the Ynnari inner circle. In combat he darts among the foe, taking off limbs and heads with the Cronesword Asu-var, the Sword of Silent Screams. The many faces that adorn his ancient suit of Bel-Anshoc armour represent the personalities he can take in battle, which include the sure blade of an Exarch and the acrobatic prowess of a Drukhari Wych.
This kit builds The Visarch, Champion of Ynnead, clad in baroque armour of the ancient Bel-Anshoc style and armed with Asu-var, the Sword of Silent Screams. A faultless warrior, The Visarch also protects his charge, Yvraine, from any who attempt to harm her.
This set comprises 11 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
