Considering that I was building my Eldar army towards the Weight of Shuriken Fire approach in the last edition Battle Focus has just made my army deliciously trolly. Avengers and Guardians move up, pepper with Bladestorm shuriken fire and then run back. Rinse, repeat, carry on til things are dead. Vehicles aren’t really a problem as Eldar have always been an army that dedicates units to specific tasks – so for dealing with Vehicles I’ve got the Fire Dragons and a Wraithlord, for dealing with armoured infantry I can just Bladestorm til the cows come home and for dealing with hordes…well, you can just bladestorm that too or throw Striking Scorpions in.

true, some of the other Aspect warriors look good as well, though i’m not entirely sure what they were like before. i struggle to see where howling banshees fit in though…

Well, I suspect the Spiritseer + Wraithguard combo will be popular. They are the new models after all.

Good spot. I guess there may be some confusion about speed or number of weapons there.

these all look right, not sure on the vehicle upgrades haven’t seen them, the banshee mask works like a fiend of slaanesh i was really hopeing it would prevent the unit from overwatching. Spiritseers have a fun ability where they can mark an enemy unit within 12 inches and all wraithunits can reroll 1′s to hit that unit. And the wraithguard guns are indeed all ap2.

I doubt the crystal targeting matrix is “can fire a weapon at full BS even if it has moved with cruising speed.”- fast skimmers can already fire 2 at full BS when moving at crusing speed. Unless we’re losing “fast”, which seems unlikely..
