Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Eldar (section)

==Faction Keywords==
There are four distinct {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}} groups that all eldar armies fall under; {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}}, [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Dark Eldar(8E)|{{W40Kkeyword|DRUKHARI}}]], [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Eldar Harlequins(8E)|{{W40Kkeyword|HARLEQUINS}}]] and [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Eldar(8E)#Corsair_Overview|{{W40Kkeyword|ANHRATHE}}]]. Craftworlders are specifically designated as {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}}, with most of said units having one of five {{W40Kkeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} designations.

An important note for any eldar player is that the FAQ introduced Battle Brothers rule states that the {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} Faction tags are no longer sufficient to include {{W40Kkeyword|HARLEQUINS}} and {{W40Kkeyword|DRUKHARI}} units in a predominately {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}} detachment and remain Battle-Forged for Matched Play games. This can easily be worked around by simply taking these units in a separate detachment, and this rule does not apply for Narrative or Open Play games.

The Craftworld army is divided under several major keywords of note, each with a variety of specialized perks associated with them. For convenience, the major keywords and their associated units are listed in the table below.

The Asuryani units not listed here fall under the {{W40Kkeyword|Warhost}} keyword, which just kind of...exists.


===Specialization Detachment Keywords===
Introduced in the Vigilus Defiant campaign, several "sub-factions" were made available for players wishing to create specialized, thematic armies while rewarding them with unique tactics and abilities. Any battle-forged {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} detachment can be chosen to become either a {{W40Kkeyword|Windrider Host}} or {{W40Kkeyword|Wraith Host}} at the cost of 1 CP, with all applicable units gaining the respective host keyword associated with them. Do keep in mind; {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} detachments are ineligible for these specializations per the recent FAQ, so plan accordingly.
