So now Eldar are getting a HUGE reboot, but what happens to Iyanden?
The games first controversial (at the time) supplement seemed to throw gamers into a tizzy back in the summer of ’13. Now we’re hearing rumors that the Spirtseers are getting ‘replaced’ and more.
But there is some good precedence for the book being 100% still relevant as well!
Come see the strange meandering discussion that perhaps won’t even be solved until the book is in our hot little hands!

The nice thing about Supplements is that they just use the units from the previous Codex. They don’t list out the rules for those units, not even the point values, only for extra rules that you can tack onto them if you take Iyanden.GW would really have to screw stuff around with the Codex to invalidate that Supplement. Like significant rules changes, which they aren’t going to do. This is going to bring some fresh plastics in and adjust

If they wanted it to still be used, they wouldn’t have pulled it from the web store.

A little bird (who I happen to trust a bit) is telling me Codex Iyanden has been out dated because Spiritseers now have their own discipline.

Fascinating how GW managed to disappoint some people to this point of pessimism…:hug:
Whatever happens it may set the standard for what happens to a SLEW of other ‘supplemental’ books when their parent codex is ‘updated’!
Eldar Rumor Roundup
Is anyone else’s books almost as sacred as their minis?
