====Cons==== *When your units aren't soulbursting, they may as well not have any attribute at all. *To say the Soulburst mechanic itself is a pale shadow of its former glory would be a dramatic understatement. It does absolutely nothing for any infantry or vehicle designed for ranged combat and melee units need to be the ones charging into combat to really take advantage of it themselves. *This faction has a notorious history of back-to-back nerfing extending all the way back to late 7th edition. They certainly deserved it at first, even during the first half of 8th edition. However, from how zealously GW has continued to bludgeon this faction with the nerf bat, it's not that far of a stretch to say that running a Ynnari detachment is a significant downgrade from just sticking with the classic factions at this point. *Despite characters such as Jain Zar or Eldrad being considered part of the Ynnari in every respect in the fluff, no named characters are allowed in the Ynnari outside of the original Triumvirate. *Outside the Triumvirate, the Ynnari have no native units truly their own. Every single unit they can draw from is simply copy-pasted over from one of the original eldar factions, meaning for the purposes of matched play, you're just playing a slightly gimped version of that army. This rings extra true for Aspect Warriors, who despite receiving fancy new interchangeable Exarch Powers, [[Fail|get to take none of them if taken as Ynnari]]. *Your new stratagems, as mentioned, are garbage. With maybe one or two notable exceptions, your stratagems have very situational uses or are completely useless at worst and are overpriced or just copied from one of the original eldar factions at best. *Losing access to the Runes of Battle/Fate/Fortune and Phantasmancy Discipline flat out sucks for a lot of your dudes. Indeed, even your craftworld Ynnari units can't take advantage of enemy debuffing powers like Jinx or Doom anymore. *The Triumvirate special characters are arguably an overcosted tax to run a Ynnari detachment. The only real exception to this is Yvraine, who ''is'' a potent psyker in her own right. This issue has been slightly addressed through the occasional point cost drops they've received.
