Craftworld Army Lists
The army lists on the following pages are used with the one given in Codex: Eldar. They are expanded versions of the army lists in the Eldar Appendix on page 207 of Warhammer 40,000, taking into account changes in Codex: Eldar and adding background and detail. These lists allow you to field an Eldar army from one of the five best known craftworlds travelling within Imperial space: Saim-Hann, Alaitoc, Biel-Tan, Ulthwé and Iyanden.
Using the Army List Variants
Except where otherwise noted in the army list variants that follow, pick your army as you would any other Craftworld Eldar army. Some of the army list variants may change which force organisation category a unit or units are in (for example, in the Iyanden list Wraithlords are a Troops choice rather than Heavy Support). They may introduce different limitations to the units, such as giving a maximum number of choices or a minimum number. Some list variants also include new unit types specific to that craftworld, which may be in addition to or replace the units in Codex: Eldar. However, apart from variations which are specifically detailed within the army list variants, all of the normal rules and limitations apply.
Designer's note: Specific craftworlds have been used to illustrate the various types of armies detailed in the following variants, but this is not intended to restrict the use of these lists to just those craftworlds. Similarly, a player is free to use the standard army list in Codex: Eldar for the five listed craftworlds. If you have invented your own craftworld, it is perfectly acceptable to base your army around one of the following Craftworld Eldar army list variants if you want to.
