Devoted of Ynnead: The 11th-Edition Aeldari Ynnari Detachment

The 11th-edition rewrite makes your casualties fuel the army:

• Lethal Intent — at the end of the opponent's Shooting phase, if a Ynnari unit was destroyed, one Ynnari Infantry or Mounted unit that was within 6" of it makes a normal move of up to D6+1.
• Lethal Surge — once per turn, a Ynnari unit performing the Fade Back Agile Manoeuvre makes a surge move of up to D6+1" instead of a normal move.
• Lethal Reprisal — a below-strength Ynnari unit gains Fights First.
• Servants of the Whispering God — your Asuryani gain the Ynnari keyword, and you must include Yvraine and/or the Yncarne, one as your Warlord.

Every unit you lose still generates value — movement, retaliation, or a strike-first.

• Death Answers Death (opponent's Shooting) — if a Ynnari unit lost models that phase, it can shoot back out of sequence.
• Pall of Dread — a Ynnari unit that dies on an objective keeps it under your control.
• Emissaries of Ynnead (Shooting/Fight) — re-roll Hit rolls of 1, or all Hits if the unit is below strength.
• Parting the Veil (Fight) — a fight-on-death for a dying unit.
• Soulsight (Shooting) — Lethal Hits and Ignores Cover.
• Macabre Resilience (defensive) — -1 to Wound against a chosen unit.

• Gaze of Ynnead (Farseer) — the bearer's Eldritch Storm gains Devastating Wounds.
• Storm of Whispers (Warlock) — force a Battle-shock test on a unit the bearer shot.
• Morbid Might (Succubus) — re-roll Wounds in melee (Ynnari can field Drukhari characters).
• Borrowed Vigour (Archon) — +2 Attacks in melee.

• The Yncarne — mandatory (or Yvraine); a mobile monster that appears near freshly-destroyed units and abuses the death-triggered movement.
• Yvraine — mandatory option and Warlord; buffs and revives Ynnari.
• The Visarch — a durable Ynnari melee character that loves Lethal Reprisal's Fights First when whittled down. The pack changed him from Leader to Support, so he no longer attaches to a unit.
• Wraithguard / Wraithblades (led into Ynnari) — tough bodyguard bodies that trigger post-casualty moves and reprisals.
• Fast Ynnari Infantry (Howling Banshees, Incubi) — soak casualties to fuel free moves and retaliation.

Take it for an attrition and counter-punch army built around Yvraine and the Yncarne, one that turns its own losses into extra movement, shooting and Fights First rather than relying on the pure speed of the Battle Focus detachments. It's best when you expect to trade units on objectives and want each dead unit to still generate value. Note the hard list constraint: you must include Yvraine and/or the Yncarne, one as Warlord. At 2 DP it leaves 1 DP for a support.

Sample gameplan: deploy tough Ynnari bodies on or near midfield objectives with Yvraine or the Yncarne nearby. Bait the opponent into shooting them; when a unit dies, Lethal Intent gives a free move to re-contest, and Death Answers Death lets a survivor shoot back. Hold with Pall of Dread so dying holders keep objectives, and use Lethal Reprisal (plus Parting the Veil and Emissaries) to make below-strength units hit first and hard. The Yncarne teleports in to punish clustered kills.
