{++Codex: Eldar Mercenaries++}

Special Rules

Eldar Agility: All Eldar Mercenaries are Fleet. In addition, instead of assaulting, an Eldar squad or

independent character may choose to move d3".

Infra-vision: All Eldar Mercenaries add 1d6 when spotting for night-fighting.

Mercenaries: This codex is designed to be used either standalone or as a supplement to another force.

Any army from Codices Imperial Guard, Eldar, Orks, or Space Marines may take choices from this codex.

However there will be some drawbacks as Eldar Mercenaries are bloodthirsty. First of all, in games

involving Kill Points, keep track of how many kill points Eldar Mercenary units rack up. At the end of the

game, roll 1d6 per kill point garnered. On a 5+, ignore that kill point. Also, in objective missions, if an

Eldar Mercenary unit ends the game on an objective, on a 5+ it is contested. If it was already contested,

on a 6+ the enemy controls it instead if it has a troops choice on it.

New equipment:

Displacement Field: -d3 Str to any incoming shots.

Digital Weapons: Only HQ choices may take Digital weapons, and up to 10 may be taken. Each digital

weapon may be either a laspistol, hand flamer, or needler. They may all be fired in the shooting phase but

the model may not use any other weapons besides the digital weapons. For example if a Mercenary

Commander has 3 Needler digital weapons and 2 Laspistol digital weapons but also a Heavy Shuriken

Catapult, it may fire all 5 of the digital weapons but not the Heavy Shuricat. For digital weapons, the

model gets +2 BS when rolling to hit. For every 5 taken, you may choose to count them as a single close

combat weapon.

Suspensors: May be given to a Heavy Weapon to make it an Assault weapon instead.

Personal Refractor Shield: Grants a 5+ invulnerable save that may be taken in addition to any other

saves.
