Day four of the Eldar Christmas ‘Advent Engine’ rumors, gives us new Ranger Jetbikes ‘Shroud Runners’ 40k rules!
New Eldar Christmas ‘Advent Engine’ Rumors
So first up is the Christmas Advent calendar-style Eldar rumors leak itself. This is what they plan to show each day from a credible source. So we have a lot to look forward to. We’re probably the most excited about day 23 and seeing anything for that new Avatar model.
Still, if this is all true, there are going to be a lot of new units and the army will be seeing a ton of changes.
As with any rumor, take it with as much salt as you need. This disclaimer states that the book isn’t done yet and everything is coming from the playtest.
It’s also interesting to think about the fact that they may have had an Eldar model release ready for years…
We’ve been seeing rumors for new models (especially Aspect Warriors), so we don’t see any reason they couldn’t see an update this big. If you’ve been dreaming of an Eldar update, this is basically as good as it’s going to get.

It would be a little sad to not see an Asurmen update because that model needs one seriously badly.
RUMORS: Eldar vs Chaos Battle Box Set Coming in 2022
If this is true, it means the Eldar will most likely see a release sort of like the Black Templars or Orks, with a full month plus of staggered releases. Either way, with Eldar getting 3 new units in the rumored battle box set and Chaos grabbing 2, this will be one of the most anticipated boxes of the year.
However, we saw that Rangers would be coming in a 40k Kill Team box before, so we’ll just have to wait and see which rumor is correct. Lastly, the timeframe for everything has been sketchy as of late, so who knows when it will actually hit in 2022.
RUMORS: Eldar Ranger Jetbikes Shroud Runners
If this is true, these new Eldar Ranger Shourd Runner Jetbikes seem very strong. A mix of unique rules, buffed weapons, and of course signature mobility, mean this new tool might be able to help push the faction back into competitive relevance. Reliable ballistic skill, unique cover rules, and a relatively low cost all seem too good to be true! We just have to wait and see.
Other than that though, we think Eldar players will be happy so far with these ‘Christmas’ rumors! It is a tidal wave of Eldar news and rumors out there for all things Aeldari. Use the links below to check out our other coverage:
