“The Ghostkeel is an elite choice that comes with 2 stealth drones for each Ghostkeel. It’s a Jet Pack Monstrous Creature, and you can take 1-3. It has the normal Tau BS 3 with 4 wounds, but only a T5. However the 3+ save with +2 to it’s cover save outside of 12″ should make up for it.

The main gun- Fusion Collider is an 18″ S8 AP1 melta blast gun that can be exchanged for a Ion weapon that is more infantry based with a S7AP4 Assault 6 gun that can overcharge for additional strength and a large blast.

It also has a twin- linked flamer that can be exchanged out for a TL bust cannon or fusion blaster.

The model has gear that doubles the cover saves to a max of +2 but also gains shrouded from it’s drones. It seems powerful with stealth, shrouded, and the limited doubling, but I have not had time to read the details to see what stacks.

Two support systems are also allowed for upgrades. Cost wise its a little over a hundred and a quarter.”

“A couple insights to the new Ghostkeel model and some special rules
1. The torso can be open or closed to show a pilot inside. Both a male and female Tau are included. A good thing to possibly magnetize.
2. The Sensor Arrays are on the battlesuit look the same as the Shadowsun’s.
3. The Stealth Drones carry stealth emitters underneath replacing the standard weapons.Regarding special rules- no infiltration
-Fire Team
-Stealth
-Supporting FireCountermeasures. Once per game, you can disrupt the targeting of an enemy unit, if it is targeting the Ghostkeel’s unit, before dice are rolled. That unit can only make snap shots during that shooting phase.”

>Corsairs have their own unique Perils of the Warp chart. In addition to the Void Dreamer, Barons and Princes can be Psykers.

>1- Devoured. No Ld check. The Psyker is claimed by She Who Thirsts. Gains Demon, Hatred (Khorne), Rending, and may run +3 inches. Control switches to your opponent. If the psyker is part of a unit they're locked in combat.

>2-3 Soul-Wracked. Slaanesh gives them a back massage is basically what the fluff says. The unit (not just the model) are pinned and your opponent gets to change the target of the psychic power being cast.

>4-5 Warp Terrors. Demons swirl about the veil. Unit and all Corsair units within 6" must make a morale check on 3D6 take the two highest or fall back.

>6 The Eye of She Who Thirsts. The Psyker gets the attention of Slaanesh. For the rest of the game perils happen for the psyker on any doubles.

>Dancing on the Blade's Edge: Corsairs are piratey and stuff and not the most disciplined. They come with two Ld Values, ie 8/5. You use the lower value when trying to regroup.

>Reckless Abandon: If within 12" of an enemy, the unit can "battle focus" only after shooting. But don't roll D6, it's a flat 6". Jetpack units get 6+D6".

>Princes can take relics from either book as well as the Harlequin book.

>Dissonance cannon: 24" S5, AP4, Heavy 1, pinning. For each additional model in the unit that hits, add +1S and -1AP.

>Tanglefield grenades: S2, AP-, blast. Any unit hit by it takes a strength test, if failed reduce initiative and WS in half until next turn.

>Regular troop Corsairs (now called Reaver Bands) got defensive grenades.

>Lynx Pulsar (new gun):
>Saturation: 48" Str D, AP2, Ordinance 1, Large Blast
>Salvo: 48" Str D, AP2, Ordinance 3, Twin-Linked

>Firestorm's gun got rending and ignores cover vs skimmers and flyers.

>Brace of Pistols is wargear that effectively gives access to 2 shuriken pistols and 2 splinter pistols.

>Corsair Prince and Baron can both take a Cloud Runner jetbike.

>Baron is a 30 point HQ base. Not an IC, 15 pts to become a lv1 psyker.

>The Prince dropped 25 pts. Anything with 12" uses his Ld.

>They have access to 4 pistols but can only fire 2. Means that they all have 2 CCW.

>There are scout Corsairs called Ghostwalkers. They get stealth, scout, infiltrate, plasma and defensive grenades, and a lasblaster. For one point per model they can get longrifles. They can also get flamers, fusion guns, shredders, and blasters (1 per 5). And they can get haywire grenades.

>Corsair jetpacks grant 4+ armor

>Elite Slot: Malevolent Band. These corsairs are half-insane because of Slaanesh gnawing at their souls and therefore charge into battle with berzerker-like rage.
>Corsairs within 6" of them get -1Ld
>2W models with FnP, fear, fearless, fleet, furious charge, rage
>5 points gets the whole unit Jetpacks or Heavy mesh (4+ armor).
>Can get melta bombs, venom blades, power swords (1 per 5)
>Comes with brace of pistols and a CCW

>The Phoenix Bomber looks unchanged other than dropping 20 points.

>Kinetic Fields grants a 5++ save to vehicles, increasing to 4++ re-rollable if the vehicle deep strikes or moves flat out. Wasps get it when jumping.

>Warp Hunter, 185 points, can be squandroned. 36" Str: D minus 1 AP2 with small blast barrage D3+1 shots. Also has a template firing mode.

>Lynx is 60 pts cheaper and got +1 armor f/s

>Eldar Lynx:
>12/12/11, 5 HP
>Heavy Support NOT a superheavy
>Costs 5 more than a Land Raider
>Flyer with skimmer mode
>Can Deep Strike
>Can't jink when flying (it's too clumsy), only snap firing when flying
>Comes with a shuriken cannon, can turn it into a BL/SL/SC for +5 pts

>The Lynx Pulsar has an Ordinance 3, S: D, AP2, Twin-linked 48" firing mode now, as well as the Large blast D which also gets ordinance

>Sonic lance is unchanged

>Anyway Corsairs can take a CAD. Or they can organize into a...

>Corsair Fleet Raiding Company

>Mandatory stuff:
>- Command Crew (1-2 HQ, 0-1 Elite, 0-1 LoW)
>- Primary Coterie (1 HQ, 1-3 Troops, 0-2 Elites, 0-2 Fast, 1 Heavy)

>Optional 0-3 Coteries (same as primary)

>Features:
>- Obsec Troops
-> Coterie Specializations. Each Coterie can select one of the following rules and you can't double up on any rule pick. (Command Crew doesnt get one):

>Titan Breakers - Preferred enemy tank and walker
>Head Takers - Rerolls 1 to wound in CC
>Sky Burners - Deep strikes scatter D6 and reroll failed reserve rolls (optional)
>Vault Breechers - Gain Dissonance breech
>Night Hunters - Gain Night Vision and Preferred Enemy (stuff at night)
>Hate Bringers - Pick an enemy unit on turn 1. The Coterie's infantry and jetbikes get Hatred (those guys) for the whole game and if you kill those guys gain a VP. Any part of your army can kill it for the VP doesn't have to be the coterie with this ability or even Corsairs.

>Drawback!!! Internal Politics: Your Coteries count each other as Allies of Convenience. This is potentially a big deal.

>CW Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Harlequins are battle brothers. Tau, Imperials are Desperate allies, never may be in a list with Chaos, Nids, Crons. Nobody is allies of Convenience for Corsairs (except different parts of their own detachment lol)
