New Imperial Armour inbound -updated with new findings

[LordPathos]

Heyo,
I like to email Forgeworld every once in a while to ask if the Wraithseer will be updated to 7th edition. All my responses end up being "we cannot devulge information or release dates, blahblahblah. So I reworded my last email to more or less: "I noticed the free downloadable rules have been taken down from the site. Does this mean new rules are in development?" Response was, and I quote:
"Though I can't give you information on what the rules are I can tell you that they will be in the new Imperial armour 11 book that will shortly be released.

Keep an eye out on our newsletter for more information."

So yeah, just wanted to give that heads up. I'm excited to see how the Wraithseer will be translated to 7th because I really want it to be my warlord in a wraith themed army.

yeah doom of mymeria is about to pop. the corsair rules are already out, it looks snasty.

[LordPathos]

How the Corsair rules out? Weren't they part of Doom of Mymeria?

[gigasnail]

YOU'VE HEARD OF THIS THING CALLED THE INTERNET, RIGHT??

[LordPathos]

OH NOES!

But you said Corsairs are out already, so I thought you meant officially and legally.

[WestRider]

No, not officially released, just leaked somewhere.

[LordPathos]

I'd really like a sneak peak at the Spectres and Wraithseer rules. I'm almost tempted to change my all Wraith army in an "occult spectral" army with Spiritseers, Wraiths, Dark Reapers, Shadow Spectres, and maybe even Banshees.

Not to play the Necromancer here, but I got another email from Forge World about the new Imperial Armour:

"Thank you for your email. The Waithseer rules will be appearing in the forth coming Imperial Armour 11, second edition. This will include the up to date rules for all our Eldar models, to bring them in line with the current Eldar codex and 40k 7th edition rules. We remove rules from our website once they appear in one of our books."

After seeing some rumors about it, I'm pretty excited. Corsairs seem an odd combination of Eldar and Dark Eldar stuff; like you can take venoms and put scatter lasers on them. I also saw that the Wraithlord will have an upgrade option. I'm assuming to be a Wraithseer. But then another rumor I found said there will be an alternate Warhost detachment AND additional choices for it.

Example:
Lord of the Undying Host (Command Choice)
1 Wraithseer
1-3 units of Wraithblades

My excitement is at an all time high.

I found a little bit about the new Warhost detachment:

Warhost (decurion type detachment)

There’s an alternate to the Eldar Warhost in here, sort of a modified version where instead of getting the buffed battle focus thing, you pick a trait.

Warhosts of the Pale Courts (The Pale Courts are the minor craftworlds), uses normal auxiliary and command choices
– Pale Courts Battlehost: Farseer, 3 Guardian Defender units, 0-1 Warlock councils
– Pick one of 11 traits.

> Crossroads of Eternity: The Battlehost may include a Harlequin Troupe, counts as CE Eldar faction

> Children of Khaine: The 3 units of Guardians must be Storm Guardians who are S4 when they roll a ‘6’ to hit

> Disciples of Vaul: The Battlehost adds 1-3 Vaul’s Wrath batteries and the Guardians may take 1 support weapon per 5 models

> Graveyard of Dreams: The Battlehost must take 3 Wraithblade units, the Guardians become 0-3. The wraithblades get Crusader.

> Tomb-Ship of Fallen Heroes: The Battlehost uses a Spiritseer or Wraithseer instead of the Farseer, roll 2D6 take the best for WL traits. Must also take a Wraithlord.

> Aspect-Lord Shrine: Guardians become 0-3, Battlehost must include three Aspect Warrior units from a single aspect.

> Fortress of Discipline – Battlehost adds 1-3 War Walkers or 1 unit of Wasps. They get pinning against anything Guardians targeted that turn.

> Swift to Anger – Battlehost must inclide 1-3 Vyper units or 1 Hornet unit. They get outflank and re-roll reserve rolls.

> Halls of Martial Splendor – Take an Autarch instead of the Farseer in the Battlehost. He re-rolls misses and wounds in a challenge.

The strong stand alone – The Battlehost adds a single squadron of Warp Hunters, Night Spinners, or Fire Prisms. Your army can’t contain any other detachments except more Pale Courts Warhosts.

If the auxiliary choices are the same as the Eldar codex, I could bring the spirit host. Then i could use the wraithseer command choice, and maybe even the tomb-ship of fallen heroes. I wish some of these rumors would give an expected release date. I am literally freaking out over this.

Dude. That sounds really cool. A bunch of great ways to theme an Army there.

It doesn't count as wrongful necromancy if you're adding something of substantial worth to the thread. Which those last two posts totally did.

[Jabberwocky]

Might have to get this new book.... Not that Eldar need any help heh.

[WestRider]

It's up for pre-order

[nameless]

Hopefully their wraithknights get better.

[tomb]

£50 !!!!

erm that's allot of pennies. 

The fluffs good, I like the idea of the wraith sentinel. Just as long as we get an answer to all this in our next book...

[LordPathos]

WEST RIDER YOU MAGNIFICENT PERSON YOU!

I am pre-ordering this immediately. When I get it, while I won't copy and paste the rules for anyone, I don't mind answering questions.

THE HYPE IS REAL!
