2024-12-29 15:27:04 +0000 UTCTo get an idea of what you can do with Wraith units, you can field an army with three units of Wraithguard/Wraithblades with their own Wave Serpents (which are just Falcons but with double the transport capacity and two of the secondary weapons instead of a big laser cannon and a secondary gun) and Spirit Seers to lead them, three Wraithlords and a Wraithknight for 2000 points, which is what you get for an "average" game of 40k. Sure this army will likely get stomped because you only bring 25 models to a 2000 point game (at that point there's armies who can approach that number with just one unit), but it's the thought that counts. And if you read the comment under the video he acknowledges he has read the rule for the Spiritseer wrong: the Lethal Hits rule is not a conditional, but rather one of the bonuses it grants its unit (Lethal Hits: nat 6 to hit = an automatic wound). He feels dumb about it and it's not the first time he made a mistake like this on an Eldar video. Or how the resurrection thing doesn't work on the Wraithlord because once the unit dies the Spiritseer loses its bodyguard unit, so the rule doesn't go off anymore. As for the Spirit Stones, these are most often the most notable one carried on an Eldar's body, often in the middle of the chest. That this would put it in harm's way in combat is just ignored and they don't put them in things like the back of their armor or in their helmets, or have them swallow smaller stones instead. Them falling in the wrong hands is a bad time for everyone, and there's at least one Imperial who went insane from the whisperings of the ghost housed in the gem used to decorate a hat. Taking or defiling Spirit Stones is a good way to incur the wrath of the Eldar, but at least there's been times where the Imperials left them alone, like the time the Grey Knights gathered up the stones for the Eldar. Probably because they know that destroying them would feed Slaanesh. And while it's true that some of the Eldar units are very old (the Warp Spiders were a bit dated by the time Dawn of War came out), they are getting a LOT of new updates soon, with even a new Phoenix Lord. No news on whether the Fire Dragons remain all caked up.
