Fund Raiser - Helping a friend with funding for a Wedding!

This post is part of the current Fund Raiser where a friend has given me an offer to buy a collection of Warhammer models, the money will go to putting down deposits for his wedding arrangements.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

  • Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
  • Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
  • Selling some of the collection to friends.

The total needed is $580 (R10,000 ZAR).
Every bit counts!
The current progress is 66.5%!

Back to the review.

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

Now known as the Unit Review Library!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.

I should have started when 10th edition launched!
560 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #199, I am 361 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

January 2025 we are expecting Astra Militarum and Aeldari codexes as explained Here, so time to focus on THOSE Datasheets!

Aeldari, Eldran Ulthran

10th Edition Index

Eldran Ulthran from Craftworld Uthlwee… or something like that. I have been fighting and battling this xenos for many many years. He is wily and cunning and a pain in the posterior.

In the lore he supremely powerful, having defeated a large range of powerful opponents I would not put my dice on in the tabletop… I mean he is good… but is he THAT good? Or does he bend the fates (cheat) that much that he can survive it all and win over superior foes?

He is 110pts and costs

Let's check its stats!

Stats

Movement 7"
Toughness 4
Save 6+/4++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 5
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

Ranged Weapons

Mind War

18" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-2 and D6 Damage.
Anti-character 4+ (Critical Wounds Characters on a 4+ regardless of Toughness)
Precision (Allocate wounds straight to the Character in a unit)
Psychic (This weapon is classed as psychic)

Shuriken Pistol

12" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 2+, S4, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.
Assault (Can Advance move and shoot)
Pistol (Can be fired while in Engagement Range of enemies)

Melee Weapons

3 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.
Anti-infantry 2+ (Critically wound Infantry models on a 2+ regardless of Toughness)
Psychic (This weapon is classed as psychic)

Abilities

Diviner of Futures

At the start of the battle you get an additional 3x Fate Dice for a total of 9.

Doom (Psychic)

At the start of the Shooting Phase choose an enemy within 18” and visible to Eldrad, on 2+ it works. After that, until end of turn, when a friendly Aeldari model makes and an attack that targets that unit, they get a +1 to Wound rolls.

Thoughts

While not a 1 man army, Edran really does give his force an extra punch. Extra Fate dice already make him worth it.
Doom and Mind war allowing you to take down specific units and possibly sniping out Characters is quite powerful.

His only weakness seems to be that he can only join weak Guardians or Warlocks, which would probably be the best option due to them having an invul save and yet they are not the best option for taking advantage of the Doom ability.

Best bet is that you pair him up with other units nearby waiting to take advantage of his de-buffs on stong enemy units.

That makes 32 Aeldari Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 44.44% Completed. The total Completed is 20.49% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
