2/19
ForewordFor all purposes, this fan made codex wasn't designed to put down the
original Codex: Eldar from year 2006. It's good, almost perfect (it fits 5th edition in
most cases). But there are several units or powers that need revision (not immediate,
but still) or rewritting. In this publication, I present my vision of that needs to bechanged and what doesn't need to. Fluff is not be inserted it's pointless. See Codex:
Eldar if You want some (or Lexicanum). I ommited some sections, as HQ section
which is (for me) good. If there are suggestions about it, e-mail me. So, sit in a
comfortable place, take a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy what I have written for You.
Special Rules:Fleet of Foot as in the codex: Eldar.
Exarch Might every Exarch has got an Eternal Warrior special rule.
Wargear and Armoury(Only items that need rewritting are listed here).
Avenger Shuriken Catapult S4AP5, Assault 2. Can re-roll all 1 for hit.
Plasma Grenade Launcher 24 S3 AP5, Assault 1 blast, pinning
Wrist-mounted Plasma Grenade Launcher 12, S3 AP5, Assault 1 blast, pinning
Biting Blade When hit is struck, roll to wound unless you fail to wound a target. Biting blade is
two-handed close combat weapon.
Power glove Ancient and powerful fist, forged by Vaul's blacksmiths. It doubles the user
strength but lowers I to 1 and ignores armor saves.
Warp Jump Generator: as in codex, in addition Warp Spiders ignore terrain in all cases
(Dangerous Terrain tests, as Terrain an't slow them down while they Run or Flee; they're not
affected by terrain while Assaulting, neither their movement is reduced nor their I value)
Crystal Targetting Matrix One additional weapon is treated as a defensive weapon.
Vyper Chariot It's a sophisticated and heavy modified Vyper. It comes without the weapon
platform at the rear; instead it has a place for a highly skilled raider, who wants to reach his prey at
very, very fast speed. It can be taken only by an Autarch or Arch-Farseer. It adds them +2T and
Hit&Run Special Rule.

Wargear: Wraithcannon
Special Rules: Wraith construct, Fearless, Wraithsight, Feel no Pain
Wraith construct Wraithguards are very versatile and reliable constructs. Every
one of them contains a valuable spirit stone of a slain Eldar warrior. If Wraithguard is
slain, it's spirit stone can be recovered and transferred into another shell. But
sometimes a spirit's will to fight is so dense, that it can reverse the Wraithguard's
death. To represent this trait, every Wraithguard, after being slain, may try to stand
up to continue fighting. On a dice roll of 5+, it returns to battle. If it fails, it is
removed from play as usual. This power is disabled if Wraithguard was slain by a
weapon that ignores armour saves.
Options: Every Wraithguard can exchange his Wraithcannon for a Wraithsword with
no additional point cost. Each Wraithsword is a power weapon that adds +1A to his
bearer.
Transport: A unit containing of 5 or less wraithguard can be mounted in WaveSerpent. Remember, that a single Wraithguard counts as two models for the purpose

Unit Type: Monstrous Creature (Unique)
Cost: 280 points
Special Rules: God of War, Molten Body, Fearless, Inspiring, Fear Embodiment,
Daemon (4+ Invulnerable save), The Wailing Doom, Eternal Warrior
God of War The Avatar is an embodiment of the Eldar former god, Kaela Mensha
Khaine. He was (and still is!) the best warrior in the entire galaxy. To represent this,
he always hits on a roll of 2+.
Molten Body He is immune to all flame and melta-based weapons. This includes
Incinerator, Burna, Scorcha, Fusion Gun, etc. In additional, all enemy and friendlyunits that are in base contact with Avatar and have armour save worse than 4+ suffer
from S3AP5 D3 hits per assault turn.
Inspiring All Eldar units in a range of 12 are fearless and receive a bonus of
+1WS.
Fear Embodiment All units willing to charge an Avatar must roll for a leadership
test with a penalty of -1. If they fail, they freeze and refuse to take an action.
Additionally, when Avatar charges a unit, all squad members must roll for aleadership test with penalty of -1. If they fail, they will hit the Avatar on a roll of 6+.
Options: Avatar of Khaine is a fearsome warrior, but he doesn't only rely on his
martial skills. He may choose one of these three powers:
Fiery Breath 15pts
Hecatomb 30pts
Gaze of Flames 20pts
Fiery Breath It is a flamer-based attack. Place a flamer template on a squad or unit
you wish to attack. It receives a S5AP3 hits, basing on how many models the
template touched.

even when charging. If it passes, it loses only 1 attack from the pule.
The Many Shapes of The Mighty Wailing Doom
-
8/9/2019 Codex: Eldar 2010 Reedition v.3.1
18/19
The Spear of Khaine
A mighty and potent weapon. Embodiments the power of
Khaine as a unreeling hunter, who always gets his prey.
The Spear of Khaine gives his ruler a power to throw it into enemies from
vast distances. When this shape is chosen, Avatar can throw it at a distance
of 24. It has the following profile:
S10AP1, Lance 1
Note that the Avatar cannot charge after throwing his spear. It must returnto him, obviously.
In close combat, The Spear of Khaine is treated as a two-handed weapon.
It doesn't confers any bonuses, either.
The Sword of Khaine, Wailing Doom
A fierce and fearsome weapon. Original form of the
Wailing Doom, thought and said to be forged by the god of
forges, Vaul. Although his fate is unknown today, his
greatest work still fights.
The Sword of Khaine is a great weapon for killing any opponent. A strikefrom it can cut a Land Raider with ease, not to say a petty Space Marines
trying to approach the Avatar.
The Sword of Khaine is a single-handed weapon that gives the Avatar +2
attacks when charging, instead of the normal +1.
The Axe of Khaine, Sledgehammer of the Gods
-
8/9/2019 Codex: Eldar 2010 Reedition v.3.1
19/19
The last, but not least, form of the fearsome Wailing Doom.
Fuegan, a Fire Dragons Phoenix Lord forged himself
merely a replica of this weapon, but still obtaining a
weapon that is almost as much feared, as the original one.This is the trait of the Khaine as the Destroyer.
This embodiment of the Wailing Doom is a bane of all vehicles across the
galaxy. It is the only weapon, that can cut off pieces from the monolith as
easily as turn Land Raider to shreds. In addition, the Avatar becomes
stronger.
The Axe of Khaine gives the Avatar +2S but lowers his Initiative to 5. Italso ignores the Monolith's Living Metal special rule.
