Eldar Q&A
by Andy Chambers

 

Q: Can you use the Farseer's Runesight power to re-roll Cover Saves or Invulnerable Saves?

A: No, you can only re-roll shooting to hit rolls or Armour saves.


Q: Does the Wraithlord get Cover saves?

A: Yes (though the cover should be high enough to at least reach its knees!)


Q: Can you use meltabombs against the Wraithlord? Krak grenades?

A: No (but we may address this in Codex Eldar).


Q: With the Eldar support platforms joining guardians, do the crew come with normal weapons? May one fire one provided he comes with something?

A: Yes to both questions.


Q: Can you combine the +1 strength modifier of a Mandiblaster with the double strength bonus of a power fist? Do you add the +1 after doubling?

A: Yes. You add the +1 after doubling. No matter what a model’s strength will not be more than 10.


Q: Under the Plasma weapons Get Hot! rule, are Eldar grav platforms affected?

A: No.


Q: If a Warlock is assigned to squad duty, does he still count as one of the five in the Farseer's Retinue?

A: No.


Q: If Eldar runesight is used to reroll armour saves, do you

A) Reroll one failed armour save per troop
B) Reroll all failed armour saves
C) Reroll failed armour saves from one 'volley'

A: B


Q: Are Wraithlords treated as normal infantry for all intents and purposes, save those specifically cited in the rules?

A: Yes.


Q: Can only squads that say "may be transported in a wave serpent" embark upon one?

A: Yes.


Q: How does Runesight effect a D-Cannon?

A) It doesn't
B) You can re-roll scatter
C) You can re-guess range

A: The answer is A.


Q: Do Phoenix Lords get Fleet of Foot if their Aspect's Exarchs are allowed to (i.e.: Banshees, Dragons, etc...).

A: Yes.


Q: Can a Farseer give guide to a unit of vypers that are located 3 inches away from him? Can a farseer give guide to a Fire Prism? Can a Farseer join a unit that contains vehicles i.e. warwalkers and give them guide? Does a unit have to contain a "person" in order to get guide?

A: Guide can be used on vehicles (which is what the question basically is).


Q: A quick question about Exarch Powers and close combat. Should powers like Burning Fist, Sustained Attack and Crushing Blow work when the Exarch is only doing a single (not in base contact) supporting attack or should the powers be treated like weapons in supporting attack (i.e. no special abilities)?

A: You should treat them as special close combat weapons, so no benefits if not in base to base contact.
