It’s the next batch of Aeldari products up for Pre-order. The Avatar is here with more craftworld friends!

via Games Workshop

Avatar of Khaine $100

An Avatar of Khaine is an ancient deity incarnate – a burning shard of Khaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody-Handed God of the Aeldari. Awakened for battle, he marches through enemy fire without breaking stride, laughing cruelly as his weapon – the Wailing Doom – cleaves flesh and tastes the blood of his foes with each strike. The Avatar’s mere presence incites a merciless rage in the Asuryani around him, his fearsome aura eradicating fear or hesitation in favour of a nigh insatiable murderlust. In these moments, the Aeldari seem transformed into a vision of the glorious and terrible conquerors who once ruled the galaxy.

This kit builds one Avatar of Khaine, who can be constructed with a choice of three different heads – a classic helmet with plume and headdress, a more martial helm with an ornate crest, or a bare head with a wild mane and flowing topknot. The Avatar’s divine weapon, the Wailing Doom, can also be built in one of three forms – a gigantic sword, a vicious axe, or a sweeping spear, each marked with eldritch runes of power.

This set comprises 53 plastic components and is supplied with 1x 80mm Citadel round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints

 

Rangers $60

The Rangers are Outcast warriors, wanderers who left the regimented lives of the craftworlds behind them. Adepts in the arts of stealth warfare, marksmanship, and tracking enemies through harsh terrain, the Rangers aid their brethren as scouts and snipers. Veiled by cameleoline cloaks and gloom field generators, they can hide from their foes even in plain sight as they pick them off one by one from extreme range.

This kit builds five Aeldari Rangers, stealthy scouts armed with precise Ranger long rifles, perfect for sniping key targets. Each Ranger has two build options for a variety of poses, including using binoculars and aiming shuriken pistols, while one Ranger can be posed deploying a gloom field or wireweave net. There is a choice of 11 heads for the unit: 3 helmeted, 3 helmeted with hoods up, 3 male heads, and 2 female heads. Also included is a shrine to Kurnous the Hunter, an Aeldari deity honoured by the Rangers.

This set comprises 63 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.

Combat Patrol: Aeldari $150

The Aeldari once ruled the galaxy, before their civilisation collapsed beneath the weight of its own hedonism. Now the Asuryani sail the stars aboard massive vessels called craftworlds, their citizens keeping to highly disciplined Paths to avoid drowning in the same decadent madness as their ancestors. Each craftworld’s Guardians take up arms to defend their dying race, wielding deadly shuriken catapults or power blades, or shredding foes atop their swift Windrider jetbikes. Guided by the wisdom of their Farseers, supported by the advanced firepower of their sleek Wraithlord constructs, the Aeldari fight to survive in a galaxy where extinction seems inevitable.

Does battling with a mix of powerful psykers, lightning-fast warriors, and esoteric wargear sound like your favoured way of waging war? If so, then Combat Patrol: Aeldari is for you. This boxed set provides you with all the units you need to get started, or to reinforce an existing army of Aeldari or Ynnari. The contents of this set have been specifically chosen to provide you with an ideal Aeldari force for Combat Patrol-sized games – approximately 25 Power Level’s worth of models, which can be built in a variety of ways – and will also save you money compared to buying the contents individually.

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Farseer
– 1x Wraithlord
– 6x Windriders
– 10x Guardians, which can be built as Guardian Defenders with 1x Heavy Weapons Platform, or as Storm Guardians with 1x Serpent’s Scale Platform.

It also includes 2x Aeldari Transfer Sheets, each with 369x decals. All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Autarch $38

Autarchs are renowned for their strategic brilliance, sublime martial skill and indomitable strength of will. Long have they trodden the Path of the Warrior, wearing the ritual masks of countless Aspect Warriors and yet never once slipping into the trap of obsession. Instead, these peerless leaders now walk the Path of Command. Wielding a dizzying variety of wargear and tactics mastered across millennia of battle, they apply all that they have learned to their command of the Asuryani warhosts.

This kit builds one Autarch, who can be customised with a huge variety of choices – allowing you to build your very own Aeldari leader according to the Aspect Warrior Paths they have mastered. Choose between a star glaive and Scorpion chainsword for close combat, and blast away foes with a shuriken pistol, death spinner, Reaper launcher, or Dragon fusion gun, and equip your choice of Howling Banshee mask and Warp Spider jump generator. Other customisation options include alternate heads, a choice of torsos, and a backpack-mounted banner. This miniature is also fully compatible with components from the Winged Autarch kit, offering even more potential combinations.

This set comprises 19 plastic components and is supplied with 1x 32mm Citadel round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

An updated datasheet for using the Autarch in games of Warhammer 40,000 is available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.

Shining Spears $60

Aeldari mythology is replete with noble heroes at one with their steeds, and in the Shining Spears, the glories of legend are made manifest. These Aspect Warriors live to joust, which they do at breathtaking speeds upon their jetbike mounts. Their chosen weapon is the long and formidable laser lance, which uses a powerful energy blast to burn an opening in the target – instants before the bulk of the weapon slams home with devastating, piercing force.

This kit builds one unit of Shining Spears, each armed with a laser lance and riding a jetbike equipped with twin shuriken catapults. One model can be built as a Shining Spears Exarch, who can be armed with a star lance or paragon sabre as well as a protective shimmershield. The Exarch’s jetbike can be fitted with a deadly shuriken cannon, and they have a choice of four heads, while each Shining Spear has a choice of helmeted or unhelmeted heads.

This set comprises 84 plastic components with which you can assemble three Shining Spears, and is supplied with 3x 60mm flying bases, each with two ball-and-socket stems. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Shroud Runners $65

Streaking into battle at speeds that render them barely visible to human eyes, Shroud Runners effortlessly outmanoeuvre their enemies while harassing them with pinpoint sniper fire. Each jetbike acts as the mount for a pair of skilled Aeldari Rangers, the pillion rider often entering a marksman’s trance so as to aim and fire while travelling at incredible velocity.

This kit builds three Shroud Runners – jetbike-mounted scouts that excel at disrupting enemy lines with their Ranger long rifles and scatter lasers. Options are included to construct riders in alternate poses – one pillion rider can be built firing a shuriken pistol or looking through binoculars, while one pilot can be assembled aiming a shuriken pistol or throwing an Aeldari tracking device as they steer their bike. The kit also comes with a choice of 4 Ranger helmets, 3 unhelmeted male heads and 2 unhelmeted female heads.

This set comprises 100 plastic components, and is supplied with 3x 60mm Citadel Flying Bases as well as 1x Aeldari Transfer Sheet which includes 369x decals. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
