New Eldar Secondaries Rules
Of all the new secondary options for Eldar, The Hidden Path seems simple and powerful. If you want to play a more complex skirmish-style game, you might be able to put a Webway gate in a corner and defend it all game,.
Conversely, you can go all-in on an objective and try to max it out through the game for a total of 15 points up for grabs!
Harlequins also got some secondaries in the book! While all of these have some serious points up for grabs, the first two seem relatively difficult, leaving Weave Veil as the possibly most consistent option. The only problem is most people in the past haven’t taken many Shadowseers…
However, if you do this shouldn’t be too hard to do as it’s just a free 3 points when you cast this warp charge 4 psychic power.
New Eldar Wargear Rules
Other than the usual keeping of profiles official and such, this page is absolutely packed with weapons. Coincidentally there’s a surprising amount of bonus Mortal Wound rules on some of these.
The second half of the ranged weapons is more of the same, with of course some weapons being classified as Shuriken for the special rules associated with that.

As a pretty balanced range and melee faction, there are also quite a few melee options! Jain Zar’s Blade of Destruction notably got a second profile, making her an even more flexible melee powerhouse!
The second half of the melee profiles also include the new Avatar of Khaine’s Wailing Doom, which also got a second profile along with his re-work turning him into an absolute monster in combat.
New Eldar Points
Looking at the points, they all hover around the similar points they were at, with a few going up or down a couple of points. However, a big change comes in with the Avatar Khaine and their re-work essentially turning it into a mini-Primarch in terms of fighting power.
A 70 points increase seems completely reasonable when you take a look at the sheer killing power the new model has!
The Wraithknight appears to have gotten a big point increase, but really, its default weapon loadout was changed to the glaive and shield meaning it only went up about 40 pts, which is still a chunk, but not the 85 pts it looks like at first glance.
Also worth noting is the Wraithcannons went down in points, balancing out the base point increase a little bit.
Harlequins also look very similar to how they were prior to the update, however, a few models went up and down, so be sure to double-check any of your go-to list compositions.
