ELDAR
The Eldar are one of the most technologically advanced races in the galaxy, having surpassed needing clunky computers and electronics. The Eldar make use of psychic networks and the captured spirits of fallen Eldar to power their machines and enhance their troops. Just like the Imperium, the Eldar Craftworlds face the problems of combating the menace of the Tyranid Hive Fleets. Lacking the protection and firepower of the Adeptus Astartes' Terminator Squads, the Eldar use their great variety of Guardian and Aspect Warriors to deal with the Tyranid threat & other enemies in a totally unique way. FARSEERS This article will cover full rules for using Farseers, Warlocks, Wraithguard, Guardians, Harlequins, and many Aspect Warrior Types in Advanced Space Crusade Games. Force Lists with detailed rules are included in each section, as well as grouped together at the end of the article for easy print-n-play convenience. (See Force List) The most powerful seers of all are the Farseers, of which every craftworld has only very few. They do not normally wake, but spend their time in a state of trance, their spirits roaming at will through the Wraithbone, directing the psycho-energy flow throughout the entire Craftworld. Their visionary skills enable the Eldar to avoid danges that beset Craftworlds, exploring possible future paths that lie ahead and determining how those paths may be altered. Eldar Farseers do not normally fight in the Eldar's Wars but in times of great need the Farseer's incomparable powers will be employed.
