warhammer 40k codex: craftworlds warhammer lost in the vastness of space, the craftworlds float in utter isolation like scattered jewels upon a pall of velvet. distant from the warmth of sun or planet, their domes gaze into the darkness of empty space. within them live the survivors of a civilisation abandoned long ago amidst terrifying destruction. these are the aeldari, a race that is all but extinct, the last remnants of a people whose mere dreams once overturned worlds and quenched suns. codex: craftworlds contains a wealth of background and rules – the definitive book for craftworld aeldari collectors. within this 128-page hardback, you’ll find: background - remnants of the fall: the origins of the craftworld aeldari, their glittering rise and tragic fall, and the ongoing, desperate struggle for survival that consumes them utterly; - organisation of craftworld warhosts, along with the strategic disposition of aeldari craftworlds – this includes a breakdown of the colours, symbols and iconography of the worlds that remain, and the structure of their armies; - detailed background and heraldry of the following craftworlds: biel-tan, ulthwé, iyanden, saim-hann and alaitoc; - wanderers of the stars: brief profiles of more craftworlds – altansar, il-kaithe, lugganath, iybraesil, yme-loc and mymeara; - the doom of the aeldari: a timeline of significant events both before and after the fall; presented with the proviso that much knowledge has been lost, this concentrates largely on the age of survival with important battles and discoveries listed; - background and details on each character, vehicle and unit available to an aeldari army; - a showcase of beautifully painted citadel miniatures, with example armies featuring everything from individual images of models to battle scenes on terrain.
