This is SprueSentry strategy commentary, not official rules. The parts of this detachment amended in the Aeldari Faction Pack version 1.3 Rules Updates are confirmed against that document. The rest of the stratagem and enhancement lists come from the 10th-edition Codex: Aeldari and are cross-checked across two independent community rules mirrors. Detachment Point costs and enhancement points are checked against the official Munitorum Field Manual web edition but move with dataslates, so confirm them in the Warhammer 40,000 app before a game.
At the start of the first battle round you roll 3, 6 or 9 D6 by battle size to form a Fate dice pool. Each of the detachment's six stratagems maps to a Fate value from 1 to 6; when you use one you can discard a matching Fate dice to reduce that use's CP cost by 1CP.
1CP. An Asuryani Psyker model forces an enemy unit within 18" and visible to take a Battle-shock test at -1.
1CP. A targeted Asuryani Infantry unit within 9" of a friendly Asuryani Psyker subtracts 1 from Hit rolls and 1 from Wound rolls against it this phase.
1CP. An Asuryani Infantry unit within 9" of a friendly Asuryani Psyker is placed in strategic reserves, gains Deep Strike and must make an ingress move this phase. Rewritten by the pack.
1CP. An Asuryani Infantry unit within 9" of a friendly Asuryani Psyker gains [IGNORES COVER] and improves Armour Penetration by 1 on Critical Wounds.
1CP. Just after an enemy unit ends a move, an Asuryani Psyker model within 9" rolls six D6: 1 mortal wound for each 3+.
1CP. A targeted Asuryani Infantry unit within 9" of a friendly Asuryani Psyker can only be shot from within 18" this phase.
Asuryani Psyker model only. In your Command phase, add 1 to or subtract 1 from the value of one Fate dice in your pool.
Asuryani Psyker model only. Models in the bearer's unit have Feel No Pain 4+ against mortal wounds, Psychic Attacks and Critical Wounds from [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] attacks.
Asuryani Psyker model only. Once per turn, an enemy stratagem targeting a unit within 12" of the bearer costs 1CP more.
Asuryani Psyker model only. Add 12" to the Range characteristic of ranged Psychic weapons equipped by the bearer.
The Asuryani Psyker every stratagem measures from, and the main enhancement carrier.
See the box: price and offersA Warlock Conclave attached to a Guardian block builds the psyker bubble the stratagems need. The pack changed Warlock units from Leader to Support, so they still attach; the [IGNORES COVER] Runes of Battle rewrite applies to Warlock Skyrunners.
See the box: price and offersThe pack rewrote his Leader section so he attaches to Guardian Defenders, Storm Guardians or a Warlock Conclave, and can double up on a unit that already has a Warlocks unit attached.

Rangers and Shroud Runners give a static psyker core the mobile scoring it lacks.
How to play Seer Council in 11th edition — the 2-DP Farseer detachment where the Strands of Fate dice live on, making its stratagems cheap or free.
Sprue Sentry strategy commentary for 11th edition, not official rules. Games Workshop updates points and rules regularly; always confirm against the current official rules and latest update before a game.
Seer Council is the Aeldari psyker detachment: a 2-Detachment-Point package built around Farseers and Warlocks. It's also where the Fate dice live in 11th edition — the Strands of Fate mechanic that was the 10th-edition army rule now appears here as a detachment rule, in a reworked form that discounts stratagems rather than substituting dice rolls. It reflects Warhammer 40,000 11th edition (10th-ed Codex: Aeldari plus the Aeldari Faction Pack, currently version 1.3, legal for matched play from 26 August 2026).
This is SprueSentry strategy commentary, not official rules. Remember that this Strands of Fate is a detachment rule; an ASURYANI army's army rule is Battle Focus. This is a codex detachment, so the pack doesn't reprint it in full, but its Rules Updates section rewrites the Unshrouded Truth stratagem, and that amendment is confirmed against the document. The rest of the lists come from the 10th-edition codex, cross-checked across two independent community rules mirrors. DP costs and enhancement points move with dataslates, so confirm them in the Warhammer 40,000 app before a game.
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.
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.
2 DP, leaving 1 DP at a 2,000-point game for a support detachment.
For an ASURYANI army the army rule is Battle Focus, and this Strands of Fate is the Seer Council detachment rule: a pool of Fate dice you spend to discount this detachment's stratagems, so a matching die makes a 1-CP stratagem free. Worth flagging honestly: Wahapedia's 11th-edition Aeldari page also still lists a separate Strands of Fate army rule for an army whose Faction is AELDARI, and the Faction Pack doesn't resolve that. Check the app if your Army Faction isn't ASURYANI.
You roll 3/6/9 dice by game size at the start of the first battle round. Each of the six stratagems maps to a Fate value 1-6; if your pool has a matching die, you can discard it to reduce that use's cost by 1 CP, which makes a 1-CP stratagem free. The Lucid Eye enhancement lets you nudge a die ±1 each Command phase to fix the pool.
Asuryani Psykers — Farseers and a Warlock Conclave attached to Guardians — plus the Guardian and Dire Avenger infantry the stratagems protect, and Dark Reapers for reliable long-range damage under the buffs.
