- Strangely anti-social.
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!
516 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #187, I am 329 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, Autarch Wayleaper
10th Edition Index
Right, I thought this was going to be the usual scenario: That this leader unit is going to be mostly similar to the leader unit on foot, with the same weapons, slightly different abilities and the same function but leading units that have Jump Packs instead... but this unit works a bit differently.
He does NOT lead a squad. There are no units he is eligible to join. But he has Deep Strike and Lone Operative meaning you cannot shoot at him from greater distances than pistol range.
It is 115pts for the unit in battle and you can't buy them from the webstore at the moment because they have removed them from the webstore.
Let's see their stats!

Abilities
Deep Strike - Can be set up anywhere on the board from reserves as long as it is more than 9" away from the enemy.
Lone Operative - Cannot be shot at unless the shooter is within 12"
Indomitable Strength of Will
Friendly Aeldari unit doing Battlechock within 6" of this model add +1 to the result.
Path of Command
If this model is your Warlord, at the start of the Command Phase gain 1 additional CP.
Thoughts
It seems that there are 2x ways to field them:
The Kamikaze: Deepstrike with Dragon Fusion/Death Spinner and close combat (Not your Warlord), drop down somewhere and be a pain. DS and shoot and kill and try survive more than 1 turn afterwards.
The Fairy King: He wields a Reaper Launcher and flies around your backlines generating CP, boosting morale and completing secondary objective when he's not shooting with the Reaper.
That makes 26 Aeldari Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 36.11% Completed. The total Completed is 17.93% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
