Warhammer 40k - Unit Review Library 171 - Aeldari, Voidweaver
The Definition of a Glass Cannon: Voidweaver.
Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
497 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #171, I am 326 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
January 2025 we are expecting Astra Militarum and Aeldari codexes as explained Here, so time to focus on THOSE Datasheets!
Aeldari, Voidweaver
10th Edition Index
With guns that make you see death and danger, but with defensive stats LESS than an Adeptus Custodes Character in @xenowolfza's army, the Voidweaver is a powerhouse of speedy death.
Basically, if I had to face it, it would arrive fast, shoot and kill what it wanted... and then probably die just as swiftly.
They are 115pts of click and kill and cost $45.
Let's check those stats...
Stats
Movement 14"
Toughness 6
Save 4+/4++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 6
Ld 6+
OC 2
Weapons
It has 2x Shuriken Cannons and then either the Voidweaver haywire cannon or a Prismatic cannon!
Shuriken Cannon
24" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S6, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.
Sustained Hits 1 (On a 6 to hit, gain an additional Hit)
Voidweaver haywire cannon
24" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 3+. S4, AP-1 and 3 Damage each.
Devastating Wounds (6's to Wound(criticals) cause Mortal Wounds)
Anti-Vehicle 4+ (4+ to wound on a vehicle count as Critical Wounds!)
Thus it triggers Dev Wounds on a 4+
OR
Prismatic cannon — dispersed pulse firing options
36" Range, 2D6 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Blast (+1 Attack per 5 enemy models rounding down)
Prismatic cannon — focused lances
36" Range, 2 Shots, Hitting on 2+, S12, AP-3 and 4 Damage each.
Melee:
Close combat weapon
4 Attacks, Hitting on 3+. S3, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Abilities
Devastating Assault
After this unit has shot at any model (not just Infantry like most rules like this), the enemy unit needs to take a Battle Shock test!
Thoughts
I think I already voiced most of my opinions on this unit:
It is a Glass Cannon.
It is fast.
It is going to wreck something and probably force something to do a Battle Shock an possibly not hold an objective etc.
Then it is going to die!
That makes 18 Aeldari Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 25% Completed. The total Completed is 16.28% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
