Diving into the world of Warhammer 40,000 can be daunting, especially when trying to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different armies. For players drawn to the swift and deadly Eldar (now known as Aeldari), mastering the intricacies of their units is crucial. That’s where Aeldari Datasheets come in. These sheets are your key to unlocking the full potential of your Aeldari army on the battlefield.
Decoding the Aeldari Datasheets
Aeldari Datasheets are essentially unit profiles. Each datasheet describes a specific unit in your Aeldari army, detailing its characteristics and abilities. Think of them as the instruction manual for each warrior, vehicle, or monstrous creature under your command. They provide all the necessary information to use that unit effectively in a game of Warhammer 40,000. Understanding these datasheets is paramount to building a powerful and strategic Aeldari force.
A typical Aeldari Datasheet is broken down into several key sections. These sections cover everything from basic stats to special rules. For instance, you’ll find information on:
- Movement (M): How far the unit can move in inches.
- Weapon Skill (WS) & Ballistic Skill (BS): The unit’s accuracy in melee combat and when firing ranged weapons, respectively.
- Strength (S) & Toughness (T): How strong the unit is in combat and how resistant it is to damage.
- Wounds (W): The amount of damage a unit can take before being destroyed.
- Attacks (A): The number of attacks a unit makes in melee combat.
- Leadership (Ld): A measure of the unit’s morale.
- Save (Sv): The unit’s armor save against incoming attacks.
Datasheets also include details on a unit’s wargear (weapons and equipment), special abilities, and keywords. Keywords are particularly important as they often unlock synergies and interactions with other units in your army. For example, a unit with the “PSYKER” keyword can use psychic powers. Some datasheets also include a table for weapon profiles:
| Weapon | Range | Type | Strength | AP | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shuriken Catapult | 18" | Assault 2 | 4 | 0 | 1 |
| Power Sword | Melee | Melee | User | -3 | 1 |
To fully grasp the intricacies of Aeldari Datasheets, it’s best to consult the official Warhammer 40,000 rulebooks and Aeldari Codex. These sources provide detailed explanations of each stat, ability, and keyword, as well as examples of how they interact in-game. Understanding these datasheets will allow you to create powerful synergies on the battlefield!
