THANK YOU

A big thank you has to go to the EPIC UK committee; without their enthusiasm, for a game that they love,
this army book wouldn’t be a reality. The wish and will to improve a fantastic tournament wargame, within the
UK, has been their only payment.

A big thank you also has to go to Games Workshop; without their imagination, creativeness and support this
game would not be around today. A special thank you has to go to Jervis Johnson and all the Fanatic team,
both past and present.

Also a big thank you has to go to all the independent EPIC developers, especially the army developers on
the Tactical Command internet forum. Without their ideas some of the developments within this book would
not be a reality.

BIEL-TAN CRAFTWORLD ELDAR SPECIAL RULES

FARSIGHT

Eldar formations that include a unit with the farsight ability may ignore the -1 penalty to
Action test rolls when attempting to retain the initiative.

In addition once per turn the Eldar player may attempt to retain the initiative twice in a row
(i.e. allowing the Eldar player to take 3 activations in a row). Any Eldar formation may be
selected, including those without a unit with farsight, but at least one unit with the farsight
ability must be in play on the battlefield.

The formation selected must still carry out an action test with a -1 modifier, unless the
selected formation has a unit with the farsight ability.

HIT AND RUN

Eldar formations that select an advance or double action may choose to shoot either
before or after each move, but may still only shoot once. If the formation chooses to
double the -1 to hit penalty applies even if the shot is taken before moving.

Eldar formations that win an assault may consolidate up to their speed value rather than
the normal 5cms.

HOLOFIELDS

Holofields provide Eldar Titans with a 3+ saving throw. This save may always be taken
even against weapons with the macro weapon or titan killer abilities. If an Eldar Titan has
reinforced armour it may use its re-roll unless hit by a lance, macro weapon or titan killer
attack but the re-roll uses the Titan’s armour value.

Hits saved by the holofield do not generate blast markers, even if they have the disrupt
ability. Against titan killer attacks that cause extra damage make one holofield save roll, if
this is successful the Eldar Titan takes no damage, if the roll fails the Titan suffers all the
damage.

Holofield saves can be reduced by modifiers such as the -1 to saves from a cross fire and
weapons with the sniper ability.

LANCE

When units with reinforced armour are hit by a weapon with the lance ability they do not
get to re-roll failed armour saves.

3
WEBWAY PORTAL

A Craftworld Eldar army that includes any webway portals may place up to three
formations in reserve for each webway portal included in the army, infantry units in these
reserve formations may count as mounted in their transports. These formations may enter
play by activating and moving onto the table through a friendly webway portal during the
game, measuring their first move from any part of the position the portal occupies on the
battlefield.

A webway portal may only be used once per turn, and if the formation fails to activate and
chooses not to enter play this still counts as using the portal that turn.

Only infantry, light vehicles or armoured vehicles with the walker ability may use webway
portals.

MAY NOT GARRISON

Only Eldar Ranger and War Walker troupes may set up using the tournament game
garrison rule (6.1.5).

SPIRIT STONES

Formations that purchase the Spirit Stone upgrade gain the Leader ability. This is a
formation wide ability and is not tied to any one unit within the formation.
