Aeldari

The Aeldari are among the oldest and most technically advanced civilizations in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a dying empire of psychic warriors who fight with calculated aggression and razor-sharp positioning. On the tabletop they reward players who plan several moves ahead, combining fast-moving units with devastating psychic powers and precise shooting to dictate where and when battles are fought.

This is not a forgiving faction for new players. Aeldari units hit hard but die quickly, which means poor positioning or a badly judged advance can unravel an entire game plan. Players who invest the time to understand the synergies will find one of the most satisfying armies in the game.

Painting Aeldari miniatures ranges from the sleek curves of Aspect Warriors to the flowing detail of wraith constructs, offering something for every painting preference. The distinctive colour schemes and large, unbroken armour panels make them a strong choice for painters who want bold, striking results without overwhelming surface detail.

The prices below update daily across US retailers. Aeldari kits sit at the higher end of the price scale, which makes tracking discounts on boxes like the Wave Serpent or Wraithguard even more worthwhile before you commit to buying.
