Aeldari
The fading firstborn — speed, prophecy and precision from a dying people.
About Aeldari — Lore & How They Play
The Lore
The Aeldari burned brighter than any race before them — and their excess birthed Slaanesh, killing their empire in a single apocalyptic moment. The survivors endure on continent-sized craftworlds, each soul precious, each path — warrior, seer, artisan — walked with total discipline to keep the darkness out.
They fight only when prophecy demands it, with technology that sings and armies that arrive precisely where the seers foresaw they would be needed.
On the Tabletop
Speed and precision in a glass shell: Aeldari units are fast, deadly and specialised to a fault, with Battle Focus letting them shoot on the move and Strands of Fate letting you bank destiny itself for the roll that must not fail.
Every unit does one thing superbly and dies if sneezed on, so the army plays like a knife fight conducted by a chess player — strike, fade, reposition, strike again. Devastating in careful hands, unforgiving in careless ones.
Aeldari — the ancient and deadly space elves of Warhammer 40,000, masters of speed and psychic power. Shop the full Aeldari range including Guardians, Wraith units, Autarchs, and Yncarne at Loaded Dice, Barry, South Wales.
