Ynnari Mini Codex!

They get reroll charges from turn 2 onwards from PFPx half of them are Cursed Blade (immune to Morale +1S) the others are supported by Yncarne (fearless)

I gotcha.

What the heck is a "tri-point?" I've seen it referenced a couple of times?

When you get into combat you use three of your models to wrap around an enemy model. They won't be able to fall back unless they have Fly, locking their unit in combat.

Ah. How Commorragh-y.

Perhaps I am just slow, but just realized Ynnari no longer has you give up Power from pain, rising Crescendo or battle focus...

Nope. I'm looking forward to it.

So, looking through it more (and more and more) i came across this little combo, it might be my new favorite combo.

Im most likely going to add it to my DE forces (A supreme command with Yvarine, Autarch, Warlock, or a Battalion, Autarch, Yvarine, 3x8 Storm Guardians or Rangers)

Autarch Skyrunner, Reaper Launcher, Banshee Masker, Laser Lance, Pistol.
Relic- Corag Hai's Locket "Each time an enemy is destroyed with an attack made by the bearer, add 1 to the bearer's attacks and movement characteristics"
WL trait - Walker of Many Paths (Re-roll 1 hot 1 wound, 5+ to regain a CP) WL trait cost 1 CP

So I took this autarch for a spin in a harlie/wych/banshee list against some black templars and a knight and I got him up to +5A/M. Gotta say it surprised me how hard he hit.

OOOO, Thats nice to hear, i really need to try it out, i havent been able to play as much b.c my car head gasket blew and i've been car shopping. Looking forward to it. Let me know some things you did with it.

The list I ran aimed to use united in death as often as possible, and turn 1 the autarch killed 5 marine bikes in melee. Turn 2 shot a primaris lt to death, then charged and killed a dread. Next turn killed another dread, then killed the emperors champion before going down to bolter fire. He doesn't like fighting invulns but marine bikes and primaris he just eats through.

Other notable events include the yncarne doing 12w to a knight in melee, and a troupe master with the hungering blade and warden of souls doing 8w, finishing it off. The yncarne actually teleported across the table a few times, and his 6+fnp came in clutch for my transports.

I'm used to fighting against slaanesh and emperors children, so I know the always fight first is annoying, but I didn't fully understand it until a bunch of deepstrikers came in and counter charged me. Half of what came in died before swinging because I could interrupt freely. Also in that vein shardnet wyches are great because they can't run and you fight before them in their turn.

I just made a PW Troupe Master myself also so i can do Hungerblade with it, I model the blade with a Mouth so i can say it is hungry (I used a Harlequin mouth from a mask and a little pit of greenstuff).

How did you load out your Autarch?

I was looking at abaddons sword for a possible conversion, though mask mouths is a good idea.

Autarch had twin shuriken catapult, laser lance, reaper launcher, shuriken pistol and banshee mask. I elected not to get a fusion pistol since I don't want him stuck in combat and firing 3 other weapons is better when free from combat. The banshee mask was invaluable, negating overwatch so that my wyches and harlies can get in too.

Having rising crescendo is fantastic in this army. The threat range surprised me and when they all come in hitting on 2s with 4 or 5 attacks things melt.

Nice, Yeah i love the Banshee mask Reaper launcher Autarch, i shelved it for a bit but i think i'll bring it back out and put a Laser lance on it.

Im going to remodel a new one, i'm looking at making a ynnari 2k list for ITC IDK what i want to play just yet but having all 3 Ynnari characters is a large tax, so IDK if United in death will work for me.

I don't know if united in death is the most competitive option. This list was dual battalion plus supreme command. 900 points worth of just characters. The game I played I dominated progressive eternal war and tabled the marines turn 5 but all I had on the board was 1 venom, 4 harlies, 3 wyches, 9 banshees, and 5 characters. I'm used to that style of game with space elves in general but I feel it could have gone the other way

Without those features the army would be entirely useless. Which it already is entirely useless, but that would be like, Corsairs levels of vindictiveness. The kind of call I would have made, but GW still has inventory to clear on the model kit.

Guys, one question: reading the mini-codex it looks like you can now use one of the three Ynnari character in a dark Eldar army without using them as Ynnari.

For example having a black heart battalion with one archon, Yvraine, and three kabalites unit.

Is my understanding correct or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything, that's correct. It opens up a few options for us.

... as exciting as this is I really hope GW doesn't count this as a "New Druhkari release" and doesn't release anything for us until the next edition ...

I fear that is exactly what they will do. It'll also count as a new Asuryani and Harlequins release, too.

I don't fear that at all, I don't think white dwarf rules updates really count as a release, there's no models or anything so it's not like GW is making much of the update, and that's the real determining factor. I think the white dwarf releases are just stopgap measure to get every army's rules out of the indexes and not have to release a full codex for armies with rather few models of their own like Ynnari

It's not like GW thinks it necessary to give us a model release every edition anyhow.

When's the last time we actually got a new kit? A look in the 5th edition Codex has all of our current units (plus, you know the 12 units we've lost over the years).

Our last new kit was the Voidraven bomber, which was released along with the 7th ed codex.

Technically, plastic wracks were released at the same time, but wracks had already been available in finecast prior to that. I guess you could count the plastic succubus and haemonculus kits which were released around the same time.

Plastic Succubus, Haemonculus and Archon became plastic, but i'm 100% sure it wasnt b.c they wanted too, i think they were forced to.

Forced to by what? Most of the Craftworlds HQs are still resin so it's not just that they were ditching the material (even though they should).

I dont think the molds worked with Resin, right when they went to resin they become out of stock for 3 months then plastic came out, literally out of no wear, no adds for it, nothing.
