More Eldar ramblings - this time the force organisation chart

Greetings folks.

All the Eldar chatter has again had me thinking about what we may be getting in a few weeks time, this time in terms of FOC slots. I’ve assembled the following ideas based on the proviso that these are the new models we will be getting and also a few caveats:

New farseer

Iyanden spiritseer

Alaitoc ranger (squad upgrade?)

WraithKnight

Dual flyer (Hemlock/Nightshade)

Normal/CC wraithguard

New jetbike kit (triple build)

Caveat 1: All 5 main Eldar Craftworld themes will be inherently buildable without the need for SCs. (i.e. 1 troops choice for each)

Caveat 2: The firestorm will make an appearance – this is probably unlikely (I had originally hoped for a retooled falcon dual kit) but here’s hoping it gets the FW hydra treatment.

HQ

Eldrad

Yriel

Irianna (new - no units need test for wraithsight?)

Phoenix lords (paths allow that aspect to be taken as compulsory troops?)

Avatar

Farseer

(warlocks)

Autarch (paths allow that aspect to be taken as compulsory troops?)

Troops

Guardians / storm guardians (ulthwe)

Rangers / pathfinders (Alaitoc) + upgrade ranger character?

Wraithguard / CC wraithguard (Iyanden) – can add spiritseer to cancel wraithsight

Guardian Jetbikes (Saim-Hann)

Dire Avengers (Biel-Tan)

Dedicated Transports

Wave serpent

Falcon

Elites

Howling banshees

Fire dragons

Striking scorpions

Harlequins

Wraithlord

Fast Attack

Shining spears

Warp spiders

Swooping hawks

Vypers

War walkers

Hemlock (new fighter)

Heavy support

Dark reapers

Fire prism

Night spinner

(Firestorm)

Support platforms

Nightshade (new bomber)

Wraithknight (new large wraith construct)

That’s my initial impression and a lot of it will depend on how accurate the rumours (such as paths granting aspects as troops) turn out to be. Obviously all speculation at this point, but overall looks pretty balanced on the surface and I wouldn’t be surprised to see something not far off this.
