GW revealed next week’s new releases for Eldar like the Avatar of Khaine, Shining Spears, and more hitting pre-orders.
Games Workshop just let us in on all the new releases that will be going up for pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.
Now let’s look at next week’s Pre-Order line-up from Warhammer Community.
The Avatar of Khaine
The Avatar of Khaine is an absolute monster on the tabletop, going toe to flaming-hot toe with the best that the 41st Millennium has to offer. As well as being a beast in combat, it also makes your Asuryani CORE units better, allowing them to re-roll charges and ignore negative modifiers on Combat Attrition tests.
With the fantastic new model, you also get a few customization options like head swaps and even different weapons!
Shining Spears
Riding into battle alongside the Avatar are the Shining Spears. They benefit from the updates to Aspect Warriors, and with their speed, you can almost guarantee they’ll be in the right place to make a charge with their laser lances’ increased strength.
As some great cavalry options with heavy-hitting attacks, these are sure to be popular going forward so be sure to grab some of the new design if you like them!
Autarch
The ideal battle leader for any Aeldari army, they balance strategic brilliance with martial skill. Their Path of Command aura lets nearby CORE units re-roll attack rolls of 1, and they allow your army to use the Command Re-roll Stratagem twice during each phase.

Previously found inside the Eldritch Omens box, you can now pick up the Autarch separately!
Rangers
Rangers are a stealthy Troops choice for any Aeldari army. Armed with deadly long rifles, which allow them to ignore the Look Out, Sir rule, they can snipe away at key targets while their cloaks protect them from returning fire.
Not to mention how fantastic these new sculpts are compared to the old models, and now you can get them outside of Eldritch Omens too!
Shroud Runners
With a 14” movement and the FLY keyword, Shroud Runners can zip around the battlefield, swiftly grabbing objectives and outmanoeuvring enemy forces. As with their scout brethren on foot, they ignore the Look Out, Sir rule with their long rifles, making them a perfect unit for hit-and-run attacks.
As one of the brand new models added with the codex rather than an updated model, these are great new additions to the Aeldari roster.
Combat Patrol Aeldari
The Aeldari Combat Patrol is ideal both to kick-start a brand new army or to add extra units to an existing one. The heart of the set is a squad of Guardians. You can build them as Guardian Defenders to hold objectives, gun down enemies with shuriken catapults, and fire from their Heavy Weapons Platform. They can alternatively be built as Storm Guardians, a more aggressive unit suited to seizing objectives from your foes.
As a newly updated faction, this might be a popular pick-up for new players! All of the models are solid and are sure to be used in any Aeldari list that you might play when just starting out.
Tempest of War Cards
Finally this week for Warhammer 40,000 is the Tempest of War card pack. These decks let you generate missions for your matched play games quickly and, with thousands of combinations available, they’ll really test your tactical prowess. With cards for deployment, primary objectives, secondary objectives, and special mission rules, this is an easy way to create Incursion- and Strike Force-sized games.
A very interesting entry that will help you get your games kicked off easier!
