Path of the Outcast: The 1-DP Aeldari Ranger Sniper Detachment (11th Edition)

When a friendly Rangers or Shroud Runners unit shoots, enemy units gain +6" detection range until that unit finishes shooting — the game's way of representing your scouts firing without giving away their position. In practice the detachment is built to keep your snipers concealed and hard to retaliate against while they chip away. (The precise benefit depends on 11th edition's new detection/hidden core rules, so check those for the exact effect.)

• Eldritch Suppression (after shooting) — force a Battle-shock test on a unit you hit, at -1 if you killed a model. Because Battle-shock sticks in 11th edition, this can knock a key unit off an action or out of Overwatch for the game.
• Nomads of the Hidden Way (after shooting) — the unit makes a D6" move (then can't charge or embark). Classic shoot-and-scoot back into cover.
• Casting Back the Veil (after shooting) — hand off detection range to a unit you hit, keeping your other units concealed.

• Camouflaged Snipers (Rangers) — the unit's ranged attacks don't reveal it, so it can shoot while staying hidden turn after turn. The signature pick for a concealed sniper nest.
• Assassins' Eye (Rangers/Shroud Runners) — +1 AP against Character targets, sharpening the detachment's leader-hunting.

• Rangers — the core: cheap hidden snipers that hold midfield objectives, and the only unit that can take Camouflaged Snipers to fire while concealed.
• Shroud Runners — jetbike-mounted rangers for mobile sniping and fast recon; they benefit from every stratagem and Assassins' Eye.
• A heavy-shooting anvil (run separately) — Fire Prisms, Wraith units or Dark Reapers. The Rangers screen, spot and Battle-shock targets so your main guns finish them; Path of the Outcast plays as a recon shell around a firepower core.

At 1 DP it's a recon and board-control shell for an Aeldari shooting army: cheap Rangers and Shroud Runners screen your deployment, hold objectives, and chip enemies while staying hard to shoot back. Note it carries the ACROBATIC tag, so it can't be combined with the Harlequin ACROBATIC detachments (Fateful Performance, Twilight Flickers) — but it pairs freely with any non-ACROBATIC 2-DP core (a Corsair or Windrider list, say). Take it when you want durable action-economy and attrition rather than a self-contained killing detachment.

Sample gameplan: spread Rangers across midfield objectives and push Shroud Runners forward for early pressure. Each turn shoot with a Ranger unit (staying hidden via the rule and Camouflaged Snipers), then spend CP: Eldritch Suppression to Battle-shock a key unit off an action, Assassins' Eye plus Shroud Runner fire to snipe an enemy character, and Nomads of the Hidden Way to shoot-and-scoot survivors back into cover. Soften and spot targets, then delete them with your separate heavy shooting.
