It’s finally happening! Come take a look at the second Gathering Storm book, Fracture of Biel-Tan in our First Look Review!
Over all the Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel-Tan seems to be a great book. Let’s take a look at it!
Coming in at 136 pages, with around 120 pages of it being a ton of fluff talking about the Eldar in the end times. er the “Time of Ending” for 40k.
We see the rules for the new models that came in the Triumvirate of Ynnead but are much more attractive looking in the book of course.
There are some new formations to take a look at in the book as well that combine together Eldar, Dark Eldar and Harlequins into a super Aeldari force of doom!
If you are an Eldar player you may want to pick this book up because there are new Warlord Traits and new Psychic Powers in here too, plus the ability to team up all the Eldar races may prove too much to resist!

Though they long ago learned how to stave off the vile attention of She Who Thirsts – known as Slaanesh in the tongues of men – the Time of Ending yet tightens its grip on the Eldar. No matter the methods they use to escape the notice of the god who haunts them, the Eldar sacrifice much in the process.
Some Eldar refuse to abandon the glorious dream of building their ancient empire anew – or at least burning brightly before the end. Eldrad Ulthran, High Farseer of Craftworld Ulthwé, puts into place a plan to bring forth Ynnead, the slumbering God of the Dead. A daemonic host assaults Biel-Tan, corrupting its infinity circuit. Unlikely alliances are formed in the face of desperation. And the Gathering Storm darkens over the entire galaxy…
