The Eldar that still exist travel around mindlessly on large vessels they call Craftworlds. The Craftworld army list represents a fairly standard Eldar army, one that relies mainly on its Guardians to provide the bulk of its force. However, some Craftworld armies are organised along totally different lines from this and may include different troops in varying proportions. Note that you can field a 'normal' Eldar army from these craftworlds if you prefer.
Ulthwe, The Damned Army
The Ulthwe craftworld lies close to the Eye of Terror, a dire realm inhabited by many vile followers and creatures of the Chaos Gods. Ulthwe has many Farseers to guide it through the strands of the future, and many Eldar follow the path of the Warlock.
Because of this the standard Eldar army list does not really allow you to field an army that is typical of Ulthwe craftworld, although it can be used at a pinch. If you wish to field a more typical Eldar army from Ulthwe craftworld it must be led by a Farseer, and he must have a bodyguard of 5-10 Warlocks. The usual rules apply regarding how these Warlocks can be assigned to other squads.
Alaitoc Ranger Force
The Alaitoc craftworld relies upon the large number of Rangers who originate from the craftworld, and you may therefore hold an Alaitoc Ranger force if you wish
An Alaitoc Ranger force must take two squads of
Rangers, but these do not count towards the number of troop selections allowed by the force organisation though they can be used to satisfy manditory troop choices. For example, if the force organisation allows six troops choices, you must take two Ranger units, and may still take six further troop selections. You must pay for the two ranger units as normal...
Saim Hann Jetbike Army
The Saim Hann craftworld has access to lots of jetbikes and other skimmers. To represent this you may field a Saim Hann jetbike army if you wish.
If you decide to do this simply swap the entries in the Fast Attack and Troops categories with regards to the force organisation. For example, 2-6 troops and up to 3 fast attack choices, becomes 2-6 fast attack choices and up to 3 troop choices. In addition, a Jetbike army may not take Swooping Hawks and Shining Spears, and all other units that are taken must have some form of skimmer transport (eg. a Falcon or Wave Serpant).
Biel-Tan Aspect Warrior Army
The Biel-Tan craftworld places a great emphasis on the path of the warrior. It has a proportionately higher number Aspect Warriors to fight for them, and you may therefore field a Biel-Tan Aspect Warrior army if you wish.
If you decide to do so you must field an Eldar army that consists purely of Aspect Warriors, Farseers, and Warlocks, plus vehicle transports for them if desired. You may treat the Aspect Warriors entries in the Elites section as Troops.
Iyanden Ghost Warrior Army
Iyanden crafworld have suffered greatly over the centuries, losing thousands of warriors defeating an attack from the Tyranids. The craftworld relies heavily upon the souls of the dead in battle, and you may therefore field an Iyanden Ghost Warrior army if you wish.
If you decide to field a Ghost Warrior army you must treat Wraithguard and Wraithlords as troops, Dire Avengers as Elites, and Guardian squads as Heavy Support
