Day nine of the Eldar 40k Christmas ‘Advent Engine’ leaks, brings rumors of new army-wide ‘miracle dice’ type rules for the Aeldari supposedly.
New Eldar Rules & Models Christmas ‘Advent Engine’ RumorsÂ
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.
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.
Eldar Ranger Jetbikes Shroud Runners
If this is true, these new Eldar Rander 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.
New Eldar Yriel & Full Corsair Pirate Army Rules
If you ever wanted to make a full corsair pirate list led by the prodigal Prince Yriel (who may have a bit of a shadow looming over him) these new 40k rules rumors are for you!
It also seems like there will also be changes in how farseers and warlocks are fielded overall now in Eldar lists. Plus with the new Ranger kits look for them to be hot now too.
New Eldar Battle Focus & Psychic Powers Rules for 40k
Well if this rumored rule for Battle focus doesn’t change then it looks like it will become useful once again for sure. Hopefully, there is clarity about what kind of move it will be so that players will know if they can do it after deepstriking or not.

No other big changes are rumored to the rest of the powers from the looks of it either.
RUMORS: New Eldar Reserve & Surviviabilty 40k Rules for 9th Edition
Honestly, some of this may sound a little too good to be true. Exploding 6’s is always good and may make shoving sub-par units through the webway better, as opposed to other things. That being said when you look at all these rules together, seems like it may make for a lot of similar gameplay if true…
Buyer beware on these rumors 100%
New Ynnari Army Wide 40k Rules & Composition
Always fighting first is sure to kick up some opinions with players, but at the end of the day, it may only matter if you can stack buffs on them to make them death blenders.
RUMORS: New ‘Miracle Dice’ 40k Rules For Craftworlds Eldar
Well, this one may be a little ‘too much’ even for a rumor, but it is a mechanic that at least two 40k armies out there have. In the case of Tzeentch, they cast a lot of spells, so it’s possible Eldar could get it too we suppose. Eldar Miracle Dice? Add salt to this one for sure.
Other than that though, we think Eldar players will be happy so far with this tidal wave of Eldar news and rumors for all things Aeldari. Use the links below to check out our other coverage:
