Their rules can be found in Codex: Craftworlds, released in October 2017 with additional rules released in the October 2019 supplement Psychic Awakening: Phoenix Rising. The 8th Edition of the game renamed the Craftworld Eldar as Craftworlders with the faction name of Asuryani. In 2015, Codex: Craftworlds was released for the 7th Edition rules, with the Harlequins receiving their own Codex. The primary Eldar note the pre-8th Edition name for the Aeldari force for many editions, some early Codex: Eldar books included rules for many of the non-Dark Eldar sub-factions, such as Harlequins and Exodites, alongside the Craftworld units.
Appropriately for their race, success with the Craftworlders largely depends on predicting the enemy's battle-plan and countering it with the right combination of units and actions.
The Craftworlders also make extensive use of skimmer units such as jetbikes and grav-tanks, allowing them to swiftly bring devastating firepower to bear and outflank their opponents, while their leaders' psyker abilities can help bolster their allies and swing the battle at pivotal instances. If the Space Marines are an army of generalists, the Craftworlders are an army of extreme specialists-their Aspect Warriors excel at a particular battlefield role, but need to fulfill that role in order to be useful. However, these alliances of convenience should not be interpreted as benevolence - the Eldar consider themselves far above the lowly " mon'keigh", and have just as often waged war against humans, or used them as expendable pawns in schemes that trade billions of human lives to save a handful of Eldar.
On many occasions Craftworlders have unexpectedly fought alongside the Imperium of Man against common enemies such as Orks, the Necrons, or Chaos. As such, these Aeldari are among those most commonly encountered by other races. The craftworlds are also thought to hold and sustain the majority of the Aeldari population, as well as the remnants of their pre-Fall culture and industry. The Asuryani are guided by prescient Farseers, who read the skein of fate and manipulate galactic events to their craftworld's advantage. As the 41st Millennium came to an end, however, the prophesised god of death began to stir, giving hope to some amongst the craftworlds, although others do not trust the Whispering God or his Reborn followers. Many craftworlds are concerned solely with survival, believing that their race is entering its final twilight age, but others hope to overcome their decline, defeat the dark god their ancestors created and rebuild the lost Aeldari empire, or die trying.
To avoid falling prey to the same dark desires that ended their empire, the Craftworlders live a strictly regimented and disciplined existence, focusing their attentions on one "Path" of life at a time, such as scholar, artisan, Seer, or warrior. In Warhammer 40,000, the Asuryani, commonly referred to as Craftworld Aeldari or simply Craftworlders, are the principal faction of the Aeldari race, star-faring nomads who strive to avoid falling to the temptations that doomed their race.ĭuring the dark days leading up to the Fall, many Aeldari heeded their seers' warnings and fled the murderous debaucheries of their home worlds to start new lives on vast, self-sufficient, conglomerate vessels known as craftworlds.
