Complete Christmas Leaks Calendar
Version 1.1

Black = Christmas Calendar Leaks. See Disclaimers at the end of this document. Source: sent to me, originally from a playtest Pod I
believe.
Pink & Red = OKLeaks i.e. u/Ok_Entrepreneur3004 comments/summarised comments on Reddit over the last few months prior to and
during the Aeldari Discord server leaks. Source: likely a different playtest Pod as differing versions of Strands of Fate rule.
Green = 3rd Source confirmations and additions, likely a further version/pod of playtest rules.

The Book: Ynnari, Craftworlds, Harlequins, and Corsairs will
all be in the book Codex: Aeldari. Codex: Craftworld Ynarri
Harlequins CORSAIRS. The two rumour engines are Aeldari
kits, the disc with hand is part of a ranger upgrade and the
bladed arm is the Avatar.
New models include but not limited to:
Female Autarch w/ Fusion Gun, Mandiblasters
Shining Spears Confirmed plastic Shining Spears
Swooping Hawks
Warp Spiders
Rangers
Phoenix Lord: Baharroth,
Guardians (with upgrade to make them Storm Guardians),
Shroud Runners (Rangers on jetbikes),
Avatar (he’s big – think FW size. He’s based off some artwork
that was done around 3rd edition)
Boxset: New 40k set will come right after Tau, featuring Eldar
vs Chaos. The Eldar side gets the new Rangers, Ranger
jetbikes (shroud runners), and the new female Autarch with
Fusion Gun.
Chaos get Warpsmith (new), Chosen(new), and
Forgefiend(still the same model)
Mentioned that Eldar/Chaos is pretty likely to get a dual
release now because of all the delays
Battlebox (Eldar Vs Chaos) :
- Female Autarch Rangers Ranger jetbikes Warp Smith
Chosen Forgefiend
These are all in a battle box like Jain zar drahzar
- Near the start of the year you'll get a chaos v eldar battle box
which has all your rangers and jetbike rangers
New ranger bikes & Rangers – Shroud Runners, 2 man
ranger bikes that have a pregame move, can snipe characters
and a move+shoot+move rule. The bikes are equipped with a
Scatter laser, Ranger on back has a ranger long rifle (now
featuring AP-1). They can get cover and can go up to a 2+ in
cover.
Unit Details:
3-6 Shroud Runners
M WS BS S T W A LD Sv
16 3+ 2+ 3 4 3 2 7 4+
Pre-game move and rangers ignore cover on enemy within 12"
Can have light cover/If in cover additional+1 save
35 points
Also have a MSM ability as well, so you could pretty easily
clear 32" in a single turn.
- The ranger jetbikes have scatter lasers and ranger long rifles
- Scatter lasers buffed to 6 str 6 shots
- dual kit ? Nope, just the ranger bike
- Totally new model A mix of harliquine bike and ranger
Scatter laser and ranger long rifle Looks pretty sweet tbh
Rangers:
- Yup new ranger jetbikes Yup new rangers Yup new Autarch
Most of those rules are right
- Advent Calendar 4 : If I was a betting man I'd say it's a
ranger holding his rifle in one arm holding the "frisby" in the
other
- Frisbee : It's to the new ranger kit It's an upgrade to give
dense cover or negative to charges
- Barbeque is my favourite 😉 (**??????**)

Combat Patrol :
and the new combat patrol has guardians, farseer, jetbikes and
a wraithlord so that's a great start too, just guardians are new

https://discord.gg/ZCr9fGCayM
 Aeldari 40K Discord Server
Corsairs: Two units: Corsairs/Upgraded Corsairs. The Corsair
team is essentially upgraded guardians, the elite version of the
Corsairs will feature a Warlock in the unit and can upgrade to
carry a wraith gun (Wraithcannon or d-scythe) and add in a
ranger to the unit.
Yriel is now a Corsair lord proper and can lead a full corsair
army (though still locked to Iyanden).
Corsairs are bundled in with Craftworlds now, though have
their own rules for making a corsair detachment
- Corsairs will have a ranger, a warlock in a unit
- It's going to be the eldar kill team
- Corsairs can be built as either troops or elite
- Corsairs have a keyword
- Advent Calendar 7 : Don't want to say it's not a warp spider
but it could be a corsair
- A dude with a wraithcannon is going to be overkill in
killteam
They're not a sub faction per say, more like have an additional
keyword which could be used in a patrol and get a
bonus/Corsairs have a keyword Ynnari is a subfaction
Before anyone gets their hopes up of running corsairs as your
troops choice, they can only be used as your compulsory
battleline role if the whole detachment is corsairs. The only
way to run pure corsairs is Yriel. They can be built as either
troops or elites.
Battle Focus & Psychic Powers: Battle Focus changes to a
free move after shooting for d6 if you haven't advanced or
fallen back for all factions within the book. Protect/Jinx stays
the same but protect can only target CORE.
Battlefocus :
- Battle focus has changed so after you shoot if you didn't fall
back or advance you can then make a d6 move (not into a
transport unless you're a harliquin). Battle focus rumour is
correct.
Ynnari Psychic Powers
Gaze of Ynnead is remaining the same mostly
+1 to wound in melee
6s to hit in melee are auto-wounds
Resurrect d3 CORE infantry
Give a CORE unit a 4++
Mostly, the Craftworld psychic powers have remained the
same (range is increased by double on a cast of 9 now) and
changed very little (just minor updates to bring them in line
with 9th Ed) though no more charging with quicken.
Stratagems & Farseers: Lightning Fast is still -1 to hit and
now 1CP, Fire and Fade is now 2CP, and you can’t F&F into a
transport unless you are Harlequins.
https://discord.gg/ZCr9fGCayM
Warlocks can double cast with a 1CP strat now
Eldritch storm is a strat, and it’s like orbital bombardment
though it happens in the same turn. You contribute to the blast
in the psychic phase with psychic actions, then at the end of
the phase it goes off dealing a massive amount of mortal
wounds.
Webway Strike also gives exploding 6s to hit on the turn the
unit emerges from the webway.
Farseer :
- There is another 1cp strat which allows farseers to cast a
power after doing the action
- Eldrich Storm : It can do alot of mortals to an army with
little ways to stop it. You don't need to do the action for the
storm to go off, only to empower it. Every farseer can do a
psychic action to boost it
- Pick a point Every unit within 6" takes D3 (+ however many
actions passed) on a 2+ (4+ characters)
Ynnari Strength from Death is now a +1 to hit if you have
taken casualties for a unit, like Our Martyred Lady for Sisters
of Battle.
Ynnari always fights first no matter what.
You can take Dark Eldar units in a Ynnari detachment with
Craftworlds, but for every Dark Eldar unit you take, you must
take a Craftworld unit – like how Deathguard are with their
cultists/poxwalkers.
Scourges and Incubi cost a little more if you take them in a
Ynnari detachment.
- You can mix and match in the new Dex but for every dark
eldar you need one from the same battlefield role in
craftworld.
Scourges and incubii will cost extra per model
- Yup anything can be troops for ynarri that is troops for
craftworld, harlies and deldar
- Ynnari is a subfraction
- Corsairs cannot be ynarri unfortunately Neither can phoenix
lords, avatars, solitaires, nor are any named character without
the ynarri keyword
- They still keep they're own warlord traits, stratergms, relics,
powers, light/dark/Twilight, with a few extra treats thrown in
like roles for all your characters and missions

Craftworlds gains this new miracle dice system like Sisters
called Strands of Fate, but it's more like rolling an amount of
dice equal to the size of the game you are playing at the start
of each round. Points are priced around the same, but better
overall.
You can swap out a dice rolled in the game with a dice rolled
in the Strands of Fate pool and make the result a 6. For
example a roll of 2 is made in a morale test, if you have rolled
a 2 in the Strands of Fate roll you can swap that result of a 2 in
the morale test for a result of 6. Each dice result will be
something you can use a 6 for during the game. So, if you roll
a 2 for instance, you can use a 2 (from the dice pool) to
modify a morale test to a 6.
Strands of Fate :
- Strands of fate You roll an amount of dice each round and
keep a number depending on your battle size. For example a
strike force keeps 4
- Each dice represents an unmodified 6 but in different things
like a 1 rolled is a 6 for advancing whilst a 5 is a wound roll
It works like this Roll six dice at the start of your turn Each
dice rolled means a different thing like "hit" or "charge" You
keep however many you are allowed per game size or bonuses
Let's say you keep three hit dice for example (ie you rolled
three ones) You shoot your reaper squad at a marine squad
You roll 1,1,2,3,3,4 and 6 You then say I'm going to use my
fate dice to turn the two 1's and the 2 into 6's All your shots
now hit and you're out of fate dice this turn
- This is slightly different to what I understand the rule does
So I won't comment about the fate dice anymore
Harlequins get advance and charge, -1 to hit in melee, and get
rerolls depending on battle size.
Can use fire & fade to hop back into transports.
Harlequins:
- Harlequins get adv charge -1 to hit them in combat Luck of
the laughing gon which is a load of rerolls depending on battle
size
- They still keep they're own warlord traits, stratergms, relics,
powers, light/dark/Twilight, with a few extra treats thrown in
like roles for all your characters and missions
Masques are now 3 different traits, light, dark and twilight
Fang Master is no more
Harlequin Fusion spam is gone
Fusion Pistol are D2+D6
Harlequins Troupe weapons are better, and more in line with
the box contents. 5 Fusion Pistols etc are no more.
Harlequins are able to fight on death without use of a
stratagem.
https://discord.gg/ZCr9fGCayM
Secondaries are:
Psychic Action on an objective for 3 VP (Warp Charge 4:
going up by 1 each time you complete the action)
Getting 1 VP if an Aspect Warrior kills an enemy unit
Getting 2 VP if you are outside of 6’ of your deployment zone
at the end of the turn/4 if you are within your enemies
deployment zone (if the unit has the Ranger keyword, you
score at the end of your turn instead).
Harlequins get different secondaries from Craftworlds, but
Ynnari and Corsairs will share the secondaries with
Craftworlds. Secondaries are really easy to score
Craftworlds subfactions are all viable now, with most
factions getting some sort of reroll. For example Ulthwe gets
to reroll a wound roll. All factions now include at least 2
bonuses for picking them. Crafters is reroll 1 hit or wound
Alaitoc gets raven guard-like ability for cover that extends to
vehicles\bikes, Ulthwe gets bonuses for psychic powers,
Saim-hann gets bonuses for their windrider/spear units, and
Iyanden wraiths are tanky. Biel-Tan gets a strat for exploding
6s in combat/shooting for aspect warriors. Custom
Craftworlds are still in, featuring exploding 6s for melee or
shooting, adding range to shuriken weaponry, rerolling a hit
roll, etc. Ulthwe/Biel-tan both get a reroll. Biel tan reroll hit,
Ulthwe reroll wound. Saim-Hann with Spears have inbuilt
ways to move over 16 and then charge… Iyanden: +1 to
combat attrition test Reduce ap -1/2 by one (eg -2 becomes-1).
It's a iyanden relic, give spirithost unit +1 attack, if
wraithguard also give battle focus.
Wraithguard/Wraithblades, Wraithknight & Wraithunits:
Wraiths get flat -1D across the board. Confirmed -1D. All
Wraiths receiving - 1D is also correct. Wraithguard can shoot
in melee now. Wraithswords are an additional 2 attacks now
(still D1), and axes are flat D2 with no more -1 to hit.
Forceshield is now like a storm shield, adding 1 to armour
saves and a 4++.
Wraithguard D-Scythes no longer autohit and are now 12"
assault d6 S10, AP-4 D1 blast (wounds of 6 deal 1 mw) and
D-cannons are 18” heavy1 S10, AP-4, d3+3 (wounds of 6 deal
1 mw).
- It's just wraithguard, wraithlord, wraithknight and
wraithfighter which gets the -1 damage
- D sytes are going to 12" range and are going to be daft,
expensive, but daft
- Heavy wraithcannon heavy d3 str16 -4 d3+6 blast 6's to
wound cause d3 mortals in addition Sun cannon heavy 2d6
str8 -3 3 blast
Wraithknight: 5+ invulnerable 4+ with shield, Heavy
wraithcannon heavy d3 str16 -4 d3+6 blast 6's to wound cause
d3 mortals in addition Sun cannon heavy 2d6 str8 -3 3 blast.

Wave Serpent has a 5++ and can only be wounded on a 4+
now.
Wave Serpent :
NEW - You blow the shield and target a unit within 12". That
unit then has -1 to hit till the end of the turn, can't overwatch
or set defend against anything you then charge into it
Autarchs now only give re-rolls to core, but there is a
Stratagem to extend the re-rolls to Vehicle units. Autarchs are
now 5 attacks baseline similar to Archons. Relic\WLT options
can make them monsters in melee, or you can upgrade them to
perform more buffing and utility.
NEW - Give that Autarch mandiblasters and he'll do a few
extra mortals too, I never said he was any good lol
Guardians are now 4+ base instead of a 5+. Shuriken
Catapult is now 18" and AP-1, still Assault 2. Storm
Guardians also get a lighter version of Transhuman, and can't
be wounded on a 1-2. (Upgrade possibly) Aeldari chainblades
are now AP-1, and Storm Guardians get three attacks.
- Shuriken catapult 18" assault 2 -1ap
- You're getting a lovely new guardian box which has both the
defenders and storm in it. Also the platform works for both
squads but not as a gun for the storm
- A serpent shield 5+ inv Only wound on a 3+
- Well catapults will be going to 18" and cannons going to
damage 2 so basic squads are going to be solid
NEW - This strat (blow up shield) also works on the storm
guardians serpent shield
NEW - Storm guardians get a serpent shield (platform) Tho
they only get semi transhuman (1-2 fail)
Guardians are very good value.
Weapons: Bright lance is still S8, but now D3+3 and AP-4.
Shuriken Cannon now AP-1, D2
Falcon Pulse Laser is now S9 and D3+3
Scatter Laser is 6 S6 AP0 shots
Shuriken weaponry adds -2 to AP if a 6 to Wound is made.
(Shuriken cannon -2 base meaning -4 on a 6?)
New weapon Shuriken rifle 24" rapid fire 1 -1ap
Starcannon: Str7 ap3 D2 you nailed it, still 2 shots
Shuriken Catapults - Longer range, AP1
Shuriken Cannons - AP1, Damage 2, AP3 on 6
D-Cannons are D6+3, mortals on 6+
Phoenix Lords and Aspects Phoenix Lords get 4++ across
the board. Phoenix lord have a resurrect strat that works once
per Phoenix lord. Just a heads up, there are no new phoenix
lords in the data I've seen.
Aspect Warriors will be getting 5++, +1A, staying at 3+
WS/BS and Exarchs can have a 2+/2+. Aspect Warriors have a
https://discord.gg/ZCr9fGCayM
5++
Reapers - Very similar to what they are already
Fast Attack Aspect Warriors:
Warp Spiders spinners are now AP-2 base, no longer gain a
bonus on a 6 to wound. Can get a power to re-deep strike after
shooting anywhere on the board once per game. Warp spiders
move instead of overwatch, and get blast and go up to ap2
base
Swooping Hawks las blasters are S4 base, autowound on 6s to
hit, and their ability to throw grenades deals a MW on a 4+
now but hard capped to once per turn.
- Hawks are great in the next Dex
- they have str 4 guns which auto wound on 6's to hit and the
Grenades mortal wound on 4+ (up to six a turn)
Spears - Much better, more tanky.
Battlefield Roles, Warlocks & Dire Avengers: Warlocks are
moving to Elite and get full smites now instead of Destructor.
Warlocks :
- Nice couple of elite squads you got there (the picture shows
9 warlocks)
- Warlocks are elite slot unless you take a farseer and then they
become a "free" slot
1-6 dudes on foot 1-3 on jetbikes. Just hope you didn't have 10
on jetbikes like me....
Dire Avenger are now Elites. Dire Avengers can Bladestorm
with a stratagem – now it’s just a fire twice strat for 1CP.
Avenger Catapult is now 3 shots and AP-2. Shimmershield
gives the unit a 4++, and they have a way to count as obsec via
Exarch powers.
Avengers
- Avenger catapult 18" assault 3 -2ap
- Wounds of 6's add -2 to ap
Avengers are now Elites - Can shoot and still do a action
Ranger squads are moving from Troops to either Elites or Fast
Attack.
The four troops are storm guardians, defender guardians,
rangers and corsairs Sorry guys
My source says rangers are troops and shroud runners are fast
attack
Comment: Corsairs can't be troops for say, Ulthwe right?
Unless you make a separate detachment for them?
Ok_Entrepreneur3004: Only if it is a separate detachment If
you have three guardians then you can take some corsairs in a
battalion as troops for example
 Aeldari 40K Discord Server

Elite Aspect Warriors:

Banshees gain S4 base, with +1 to wound on the charge, and
-1 to be hit in combat – still ignore overwatch and have
adv+charge. Also makes a unit fight last.
- banshees (Exarch) wounding marines on 2+ is also quite
tasty
- str 4 -4ap swords with +1 to wound (they clarified) on the
charge is quite tasty and a possible 4++ in combat
- Banshees are str4 after the boost from power swords,
scorpions are str 5 after the boost from chain blades
- The Exarch can get +1 to damage
- Force opponent to fight last, +1 A
Linked fire = Add two shots to the first prism for each other
prism linking fire. Invulns can't be taken for these shots. The
other prisms can't fire their guns after linking fire. Only works
on focused shooting profile.
Wraithseers are getting the -1 to damage in a FAQ shortly after
codex drops.
Falcon :
- Yes bright lance is str 8 but the pulsar is 9
- You're going to like pulse lasers 😉 str9 D3+d3

Scorpions are now S4 base with a +1S Chainsword. Now deal
a MW on an unmodified wound roll of 6. Chainblades are now
AP-1. Exarch biting blade will add additional attacks, and is
now AP -2. Exarch’s Sustained Assault ability is now just
unmodified exploding 6s to hit.
Scorpions
- Scorpions are awesome They don't have a limit on how many
mortal wounds they can make The black Templar litany for
mortal wounds on 6's to wound maxes out at six whilst
scorpions can go higher I expect this to be fixed in the first faq
- Scorpions and hawks are great in the next Dex
- In regards to Scorpion chainsword: The rules I've seen are +2
-1 1 1 additional attack
Dragons :
- The fire dragons only rerolls 1 to wound
- They can with an exarch upgrade auto wound if within 9"
- Str 9 fusion guns with the same range, same shots. Don't
have to be within half range to get the +2 to damage
Fire dragons get str9 always melta rule and d6+2 damage
reroll 1s vs vehicles and battle focus 1d6
Heavy Support: Night Spinners going to AP-2, with 6s being
AP-4.
Fire Prisms keep multiple profiles for their shooting, but
double shooting is now just baked into the shots. Main profile
going to d3+3, second profile to D2.
Falcons act like drop pods now too, about 120-140pts
depending on loadout. But you can get out when you
deepstrike them.
Star engines add 3" to your movement 😉 Vectored engines
give you a once per battle battle focus move.
Avatar is going to be brutal. 14W and T8 now. Has two attack
profiles, one for S14 and one for S7 (cleaving attack), D6+2
damage on main hits, his ranged attack is like void dragon
necron beam attack. No more FNP, has a 4++, halves damage,
and a fight on death strat. Charge re-roll aura limited to CORE
only. The avatar has a reroll charge for core within 6" in the
new book. No Warlord traits, No Relics. Guardians, Aspects,
Wraithguard/Wraithlord, Windriders, Rangers, Shroud
Runners but not Corsairs are core. Fight after death stratagem.
Kill Team: There’s a kill team box coming up that includes
Eldar Corsairs, and eventually Squats will be a new KT
faction as well – but that’s way later in the pipeline.
Kill team book artwork is the Corsair team e.g. Ranger with
sword, Warlock (Ghostwalker and Voiddreamer respectively).
Additionally Felarch and the Way Seeker. He is also assuming
the opposing force Ka Chaos Legionnaires. Harlequins get a
KT box sometime next year, with a new unit for use in 40k (no
details on it yet)

30th November Disclaimer: Take these all with a pinch of salt. Though it is highly likely these are true it’s possible for things to have
been lost in translation/transcribing. These are not my leaks but passed onto me by someone who has in turn had them passed onto
them. Please use #news to discuss.

2nd December Disclaimer Update: Both this calendar and the previous Reddit dump leak, appear to be playtest/test print leaks.

The book hasn’t gone to final print so nothing is guaranteed including the models listed here and yesterday’s previous calendar on the
Codex being a combined book. Plenty of other books have had interesting stuff in them that has just not made the final cut.

GW has a history of having models ready for release in advance of codexes, and holding some back for various reasons, business or
technical. Case and point Castellan Crowe being finished and painted years before release.

The codex is estimated to be 3+ months before the final print.
