it's true and you should say it.

Giving Eldar players (a group known for Actually Capable of Playing the Damn Game) a list of "bonus stratagems" for the new Battle Focus makes sense. Few other playerbases have the literacy to handle that.

With some units able to get free/repeat uses of some manoeuvers. Flavourful.

Well, yes, it’s obvious why Rednote is a bigger threat now.

nothing to see here right? Elon Musk made sure to share a very specific video (and exclude the nazi salute)

To reiterate:

Trump's transphobic Executive Orders regarding healthcare and Federal documents are currently unenforceable and are not current actionable policy of the Federal government.

Do not despair.

Do not panic.

And most importantly: do not comply in advance.

Staying alive is a radical act as a trans person in Trump's America.

Idea for moving the Ynnari plotline forward

So the big problem with the Ynnari plotline is that it disrupts the setting too much if it moves forward. The Ynnari get the final Cronesword -> Ynnead is fully summoned -> Ynnead rips out Slaanesh’s stomach -> Slaanesh is dead and all Eldar factions lose their defining aspect. Now some of the oldest factions are utterly ruined. Uh-oh!

So here’s my solution:

Slaanesh is wounded, but isn’t killed. Plus, now they’re very, very angry, and very, very eager to get back what’s theirs. Cues aggressive Slaaneshi expansion throughout the galaxy, especially against aeldari.

Slaanesh’s grip on aeldari souls is released…but ONLY if you completely devote yourself to Ynnead. It’s not enough to pray to him. It’s not enough to work with the Ynnari out of self-interest. No, you gotta go all in. You need to be willing to give up your old life and work for Ynnead for his own sake.

It becomes increasingly clear that one of the Ynnari’s long-term goals is the destruction of all existing aeldari societies to make way for a single aeldari civilization united under Ynnead. Also, this proposed civilization wouldn’t be a revival of the aeldari empire of old, but something new (and unspecified). Also also, the Ynnari refer to this as the spiritual death and rebirth of the aeldari, which is creepy as hell.

Why it works:

Slaanesh not only survives, but gets an additional incentive to expand. They can even keep snacking on non-Ynnari souls!

There’s a strong incentive to NOT join the Ynnari. Having to give up everything you know and devote your soul to a death god and his fanatical cult is one hell of a demand! In addition, because the Ynnari are the only ones freed from Slaanesh, it’s much easier for non-believers to think they’re full of crap. After all, nothing’s changed for the non-Ynnari! So it’s easy to think that the fanatical death cult is lying or deluded. Basically, to benefit from Ynnead, you have to take a BIIIIG leap of faith, and that’s a hard, hard thing to do. Hence Asuryani, Drukhari, and Exodite societies still exist.

The Ynnari get a major win and complete their #1 goal. This gives them a lot of credibility as a serious faction, and frees them to pursue more general goals (building a new aeldari civilization, evangelizing other aeldari, fighting the Slaaneshi onslaught, etc.) that are less destabilizing to the setting. On a meta level, it also gives the Ynnari to be further developed in their own, unique army. This would be the time to introduce a bunch of unique, death-themed Ynnari units and push Ynnari heroes to the forefront.

So what do you think?

TENOI!

The Entire Craftwold remakes and new Codex (no combat patrol (yet)). Aspect Warriors and Phoenix Lords.

Also, repackaging for the Wave Serpent, so it now comes with all the bits for the Falcon too. The War Walkers are becoming a box-of-two now as well.

...

Cadia Stands on Warhammer Plus.

...

Craftworlds focus on WarCom, plus new reveals for Heresy and Black Library.
