ELDARThe Eldar are one of the most technologically advanced races in the galaxy, having surpassed needing

clunky computers and electronics. The Eldar make use of psychic networks and the captured spirits of fallen

Eldar to power their machines and enhance their troops. Just like the Imperium, the Eldar Craftworlds face the

problems of combating the menace of the Tyranid Hive Fleets. Lacking the protection and firepower of the

Adeptus Astartes' Terminator Squads, the Eldar use their great variety of Guardian and Aspect Warriors to dealwith the Tyranid threat & other enemies in a totally

unique way. FARSEERS(See Force List)

The most powerful seers of all are the Farseers, of

which every craftworld has only very few. They do not

normally wake, but spend their time in a state of

trance, their spirits roaming at will through the

Wraithbone, directing the psycho-energy flow

throughout the entire Craftworld. Their visionary skills

enable the Eldar to avoid danges that besetCraftworlds, exploring possible future paths that lie

ahead and determining how those paths may be

altered. Eldar Farseers do not normally fight in the

Eldar's Wars but in times of great need the Farseer's

incomparable powers will be employed.

Farseers cost 100 Points each and are armed

with either a Witchblade & Shuriken or Laspistol,OR

Singing SpearOR Power Sword & Shuriken or

Laspistol.

Farseers are Heroes – has 3 Fate Points – adds

+3 to the Eldar Player's roll for Extra Actions. Heroes

automatically Take Two Actions.

Farseers start the Assault with 1D + 25 Psi-

points, and have two psychic abilities: Eldritch Storm

and Mind War.

This article will cover full rules for using Farseers,

Warlocks, Wraithguard, Guardians, Harlequins, and

many Aspect Warrior Types in Advanced Space

Crusade Games. Force Lists with detailed rules are

included in each section, as well as grouped together at

the end of the article for easy print-n-play convenience.

Warlocks are powerful seers who once traveled Aspect

Warrior path, and have undergone the blood-rituals

required to understand not only the runes of war, but

also how to draw power from Eldar spirit stones and

For this reason Warlocks have a special bond with

Wraithguard spirit warriors, and help guide them in the

physical universe to reap destruction upon the Eldar's

enemies.

Warlocks carry a mighty Witchblade, which is covered

with sacred runes and can channel the Warlock's

psychic power into devastating force to cut down the

path, but who is well-trained in martial discipline and

battlefield combat.
