Eldar Codex Rules from the Twitch Livestream Talk
Ive seen these posted up... and I did not get a chance this weekend to watch the whole thing. (on my to do list once I get back from the burn center this morning). Thank you to the guys who linked me up to this.
I don't know who originated this list... but here is the what I found on it over on 3++.

“From the livestream tactics talk:
• Shining Spears are down 6 points.
• No Ynnari in the Craftworlds codex. Ynnari armies don’t benefit from Craftworlds attributes.
• Dire Avengers are now 12 points a model (same as Rangers).
• New power Quickening, essentially Warptime. Pick a friendly Craftworlds unit within 18″ pf the caster. It can move as if it were the movement phase.
• Sounds like Guardians are the same cost (they discussed points costs for troop unit, said 60 points for base Dire Avenger and Ranger squads, Guardians are closer to 80 points (which is what they are currently).
• Warlord trait on the Avatar allows it to target characters in the shooting phase even if they aren’t the closest unit.
• Biel-tan attribute affects all shuriken weapons in the army.
• Warlord trait for +2 movement.
• Webway strike stratagem allows between 1-3 Craftworld units to enter the battlefielf using normal deep strike rules.
• Skystrike stratagem allows a unit with Fly to appear on the battlefield
• Banshee mask denies overwatch now instead of always striking first. They can advance and charge.
• Warwalkers now have an outflank ability
• Swooping Hawk guns are now Assault 4 instead of Rapid Fire 2, still 24” range.
• Swooping Hawks have dropped 4 points per model.
• Craftworlds can field a brigade for “less than 1100 points now.”
• 3 Dark Reapers are now ~80 points. Still have 3+ to hit regardless of modifiers in the shooting phase.
• Relic: When this models dies, on a 2+ it causes D3 mortal wounds. If those wounds kill a model, the model with the relic remains on the table with a single wound remaining. Only relic the Avatar can take.
• Phoenix Lords don’t benefit or effect Craftworld attributes. Can be taken in any Craftowlrds army without messing up the detachment bonus.
• New warlord trait: Puritanical leader: All units within 6″ of the warlord auto pass morale.
• Striking Scorpions down in points (didn’t say how much).
• “I saw a really nice comment on Reddit, actually…” Looks like they do browse the sub!
• No big changes to Wraithknights.
• Everything in the book benefits from the Craftworlds attribute. Hemlock Wraithfights of Alaitoc now have -2 to hit.
• Nightspinners down in points.
• Iyanden Warlord trait: At the start of the turn, roll a dice. On a 6, gain a command point.
• Falcon Grav tanks down by 50 points.
• Heavy weapons cheaper now.
• Warlocks are 35 points.
• Jain Zarr, all Banshees always fight first within 6″ of her.
• No changes to Storm Guardians.
• Empower psychic power: +1 to wound rolls for a friendly unit.
• 6 Runes of Fate. Guide, Doom, Fortune, Mind War, 2 other they mentioned quickly.
• “Harlequins and Ynnari will be in a codex at some point.” Implied they’d both get their own codex.
• Eldrad down in points plus some new lore.
• Windriders are 18 points with shuriken catapults. 28 for shuriken cannons.
• Ynnari rules packaged in the Triumverate box are the same as the index Xenos 1 rules.
• 15 points for scatter lasers
