Seer Council: The 11th-Edition Aeldari Psyker Detachment

At the start of the first battle round you roll a pool of Fate dice — 3 at Incursion, 6 at Strike Force, 9 at Onslaught — and keep the results. Each of the detachment's six stratagems is tied to a Fate value (1-6); when you use one, if your pool holds a matching die you may discard it to reduce that stratagem's cost by 1 CP (so the 1-CP stratagems become free). It's a rationed, semi-random economy of discounted plays — reward for a patient player who reads the game and spends the right die at the right moment.

• Presentiment of Dread (Fate 1, Command) — force an enemy Battle-shock test at -1.
• Forewarned (Fate 2, Fight) — -1 to Hit and Wound against a psyker-guarded Infantry unit.
• Unshrouded Truth (Fate 3, Movement) — psychically redeploy a unit more than 9" from enemies.
• Fate Inescapable (Fate 4, Shooting) — Ignores Cover, plus +1 AP on Critical Wounds.
• Isha's Fury (Fate 5, reactive) — 6D6 mortal wounds against an enemy that moved within 9" of a psyker.
• Psychic Shield (Fate 6, defensive) — a guarded unit can only be shot from within 18".

• Lucid Eye — in your Command phase, nudge one Fate die by ±1, so you always have the value you need. The enabler for the whole engine.
• Runes of Warding — Feel No Pain 4+ against mortal wounds, Psychic Attacks and Devastating Wounds.
• Torc of Morai-Heg — tax enemy stratagems used near the bearer (+1 CP).
• Stone of Eldritch Fury — +12" range to the bearer's ranged psychic weapons.

• Farseer (foot or Skyrunner) — the core Asuryani Psyker that unlocks the stratagems, carries enhancements, and provides Doom/Guide support.
• Warlock Conclave — attached to a Guardian block, it forms a durable psyker bubble that turns on Forewarned and Fate Inescapable.
• Guardian Defenders / Storm Guardians — the cheap Infantry the stratagems protect and buff.
• Warlock Skyrunners — fast, easy-to-hide psyker utility and objective play.
• Dark Reapers — reliable long-range damage that loves Ignores Cover and the defensive suite.

Take it for a psyker-heavy, control-oriented list that wins on objectives and out-maneuvers rather than alpha-strikes. The free or discounted stratagems reward a patient player who can bank the right Fate values and spend them at the decisive moment. Its enhancements are more utility than raw power, so lean into the control game. At 2 DP it leaves 1 DP for a support.

Sample gameplan: roll your Fate pool round one and plan which values to keep. Deploy psyker bubbles centrally, screen with Storm Guardians, and hold objectives. Reposition threatened blocks with Unshrouded Truth, weather fire and melee with Psychic Shield and Forewarned, and punish enemy movement with Isha's Fury and Presentiment of Dread. Use Lucid Eye each Command phase to guarantee the die you need, and grind out primary while spending CP-efficient (often free) stratagems every turn.
