• If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
• If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.

• The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
• Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
• It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.

1. Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
   
   • One group for each CHARACTER model.
   • One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
2. Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
   
   • If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
   • No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
   • CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
3. Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.

• If the target unit is an attached unit, use the highest T characteristic amongst bodyguard models in that unit that are on the battlefield.
• Use the highest T characteristic amongst models in that unit that are on the battlefield.

• That model has the INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM keyword and is within a terrain area.
• That model is not fully visible to the attacking model due to one or more intervening terrain features and/or one or more intervening obscuring terrain areas (see below).

1. Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
   
   

   If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit.



2. Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.

The ACROBATIC tag is used in the following Aeldari detachments:

• Fateful Performance
• Ghosts of the Webway
• Serpent’s Brood
• Twilight Flickers

• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to a unit or model you must end that model’s move in base contact with that unit or model if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If a model is already as close as possible to a unit or model when it is instructed to make a move as close as possible towards a unit or model, that model cannot be moved, but still counts as having made the move in question.
• If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to an objective you must end that model’s move within range of an objective if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
• If that model is already within range of an objective it can move up to the maximum distance of that move but must end its move still within range of that objective.

In war, as in all things, the Aeldari bring the full might of their intellect, skill and agility to bear upon the task. Coupled with their exceptional technology, this ensures they move with swiftness and grace that is impossible for the foe to match.

Every element of a Warhost operates with speed and efficiency, units swirling around one another in an agile storm of blades and tightly controlled ferocity. The Aeldari know precisely where they must be at any given stage of the battle plan and move with inhuman elegance that leaves their enemies reeling in their wake.

• At the start of the battle round, you receive 1 additional Battle Focus token.
• Each time a unit from your army performs the Swift as the Wind Agile Manoeuvre, until the end of the phase, add an additional 1" to the Move characteristic of models in that unit.
• Each time a unit from your army performs an Agile Manoeuvre that involves rolling a D6, add 1 to the result.

Though future sight is not a precise art, the Aeldari seers excel in its craft. Having read the strands of fate that twine and branch through the upcoming battle, they direct events down their favoured paths at the most opportune moments.

These are Yriel’s most elite raiders, skilled in fast-paced raids and used to fighting superior forces using a combination of guile, superior technology, and physical prowess.

Trying to fight the Harlequins of the Laughing God is like battling bladed smoke. They flip and bound through the enemy ranks with contemptuous ease, springing across the heads and shoulders of dumbfounded combatants, sprinting across the hulls of war engines, all the while bearing down with murderous intent upon their true intended victims.

• TROUPE units from your army gain the BATTLELINE keyword and TROUPE models in those units have an Objective Control characteristic of 2.
• You can include up to three of each of the following models in your army: DEATH JESTER, SHADOWSEER, TROUPE MASTER.

Surrounded by the slaughter on the battlefield, the Ynnari channel the sinister supernatural gifts of Ynnead to great effect.

• You can include YNNARI units in your army, even though they do not have the ASURYANI Faction keyword.
• ASURYANI units (excluding EPIC HEROES) from your army gain the YNNARI keyword.
• You must include YVRAINE and/or THE YNCARNE in your army, and one of those models must be your WARLORD.

Playing their roles to perfection, the Harlequins embody the swift-striking fangs and deadly venoms of the Cosmic Serpent’s brood, dominating the stage of the battlefield with their swift and vicious performances.

• TROUPE units from your army gain the BATTLELINE keyword, and TROUPE models in those units have an Objective Control characteristic of 2.
• You can include up to three of each of the following models in your army: DEATH JESTER, SHADOWSEER, TROUPE MASTER.

Trying to fight the Harlequins of the Laughing God is like battling bladed smoke. They flip and bound through the enemy ranks with contemptuous ease, springing across the heads and shoulders of dumbfounded combatants, sprinting across the hulls of war engines, all the while bearing down with murderous intent upon their true intended victims.

With their holofields attuned to a mist-wreathed shadow performance, the Harlequins are insubstantial blurs as they dash through cover to reach their chosen stage.

Even should they be struck down by the foe, the players remain in character, embodying in their final steps the doomed but deadly fall of winged Faolchii.
