Eldritch Raiders: The New Aeldari Corsair Detachment (11th Edition)

Every Aeldari unit in the army can declare a charge in a turn it Advanced, and Anhrathe (Corsair), Rangers and Shroud Runners units re-roll their Advance rolls. That combination gives you enormous, reliable charge threat ranges the opponent simply can't screen against — the raiders are always faster than they look. It turns a fragile pirate army into one that constantly dictates where combat happens.

• No Prey Too Big (Shooting) — when the attack's Strength is below the target's Toughness, +1 to Wound. Lets massed shuriken fire threaten monsters and vehicles.
• Ruthless Killers (Shooting/Fight) — +1 Damage to a Corsair Voidscarred unit's attacks. Your burst-damage spike on the elite raiders.
• Raiders' Spoils (Command) — +1 Objective Control to a unit in combat, to seize a contested point.
• Yriel's Example (defensive) — Feel No Pain 5+ against an incoming melee attack.
• Impeding Fire (defensive) — -2 to an enemy's Charge rolls, countering an alpha charge.
• Withdraw and Reinforce — pull a depleted Anhrathe unit into Reserves and return its destroyed models, redeploying at full strength.

Each is attached to a different Anhrathe unit:

• Pirate Prince (Prince Yriel) — when you spend a Battle Focus token on this unit's Agile Manoeuvre, a 3+ refunds the token, keeping your mobility engine running.
• Alacritous Assault — the unit's melee weapons gain Lance (+1 to Wound on a charge), rewarding the advance-and-charge plan.
• Exotic Munitions — ranged weapons gain Anti-Monster 5+ and Anti-Vehicle 5+, so shuriken fire reliably wounds big targets.
• Adrenal Infusions — the unit performs the Fade Back manoeuvre for free (no token), for endless hit-and-run.

• Prince Yriel — the named leader the detachment is built around; carries Pirate Prince and is a strong melee character.
• Corsair Voidscarred — elite Anhrathe infantry and the sole Ruthless Killers target; flexible weapons make them the workhorse raiders.
• Corsair Voidreavers — cheaper Anhrathe bodies that surge forward with advance-and-charge and massed shuriken fire; the pack added Battle Focus to their faction abilities and let any number of them swap to shuriken rifles.
• Corsair Skyreavers — jump-pack Anhrathe that leap over the line to hit flanks.
• Shroud Runners / Rangers — re-roll Advances, enable Impeding Fire, and provide mobile scoring.
• Kharseth — a new Anhrathe psyker Epic Hero printed in the pack; Fury of the Void marks a unit as riven, so every Aeldari attack against it gains +1 Strength, and Aethersense keeps enemy Reserves 12" away.

Take it for a fast, aggressive Corsair army that dictates every engagement. The universal advance-and-charge plus Advance re-rolls give unmatched threat range, the toolbox stratagems let light shuriken fire punch above its weight, and Withdraw and Reinforce recycles battered units. It's a tempo-and-mobility detachment for players who enjoy managing Battle Focus tokens. At 2 DP it leaves 1 DP for a support like Path of the Outcast.

Sample gameplan: push Voidscarred and Voidreavers up turn one, using Advance-and-charge to threaten charges the enemy can't screen. Give a Voidscarred unit Alacritous Assault or Exotic Munitions and lead Yriel's core unit with Pirate Prince to keep tokens flowing. Use No Prey Too Big to make shuriken volleys threaten armour, protect fragile units with Yriel's Example and Impeding Fire, and pull depleted bands out with Withdraw and Reinforce to sustain relentless pressure.
