The Eldar have joined the beta today, bringing the finest technology in the universe with them. Read the full patch notes HERE.
Eldar ships are incredibly fast and maneuverable, packing serious firepower. This is offset by the fragility of their ships. Many Admirals have lost their first battle as the Eldar – they can be tricky to master, with a steeper learning curve than other factions. Their strategy is based around hit-and-run assaults, offering a brand new, rewarding gameplay style with deep tactical options.

Eldar ships are as fast as they are fragile - they lack in any heavy armour. With the exception of their battleships, their craft are not fitted with shields, instead relying on advanced Holo-fields in conjunction with their speed and agility to avoid incoming fire. This makes them extremely hard to track and hit with conventional weaponry. Destroying Eldar ships’ engines is the best way to keep them at close-range, ensuring you have enough time to inflict lethal damage.
The Battlefleet Gothic: Armada community continues to be incredibly helpful with ironing out the game, and all beta players will now be able to help us balance the Eldar fleets, just like they have the other three factions. This will ensure the best possible experience when the game releases on April 21.
