Back to RacesAlaitoc Eldar
The Eldar are one of the most ancient races that inhabit the Galaxy encountered by humanity. They once ruled a Galaxy spanning empire but their race's sucess and obsession with sensuality and extreme experience led to the Fall. The psychic resonance of an entire race's extreme decadence created the Chaos God Slaanesh within the Warp, who's catastrophic birth caused a tear in space, creating the Eye of Terror and destroying the Eldar homeworlds. Today, the Eldar are a scattered and dying race, limited mainly the gigantic spacecraft known as Craftworlds. The Eldar are a tall but slight and swift race. Fleet of foot, they can easily outpace human warriors.

Farseer Farseers follow the Path of the Seer. They are potent psykers, able to predict possible futures and try to prevent anything which may somehow threaten Alaitoc or the Eldar race. This makes the Eldar an unpredictable race, their aims and goals enigmatic to humans. When they are fully unleashed Farseers' considerable mental powers allow them to kill even the most armoured and experienced foes. Abilities Farseers can to select a class to be awarded veteran status in the next round, using the command key (default V). Tips Farseers are the only Eldar class that can be equipped with the powerful psychic weapon that is the Singing Spear. Wargear List Singing Spear Shuriken Pistol and Power Sword Shuriken Catapult |

Guardians Craftworld's main defence forces are made up of squads of Guardians formed from groups of normal eldar citizens who fight for their Craftworld in times of need. Many were once members of the Aspect Warrior shrines and all are well trained in the arts of war. Abilities Guardians can summon follow bots to aid them in combat by using their special move key (Q). Tips Guardians are weak warriors with feeble weaponry, but they get many spawns. Wargear List Shuriken Pistol and Power Sword [Squad Leader] Lasgun Hands |

Swooping Hawks Swooping hawks use advanced Eldar jump packs that allow them to swiftly move to anywhere on the battlefield, and strike the enemy with a hail of energy bolts from their lasblasters. Their wings are an impressive piece of technology that adds further control to their jump packs and allows greater control of flight than that of similar human constructions. Abilities Swooping Hawks are equipped with jump packs. To use your jump pack to fly, press the Special Move key [Q] Tips Unlike other jump pack classes, Swooping Hawks are not close combat specialists. Their flight is best used to flit around their slower targets and pelt them with laser bolts from every angle and flying out of danger, as well as capturing objectives. Wargear List Lasgun Hands |

Striking Scorpions Striking scorpions are close combat specialists who excel in dense terrain. They use every nook and crevice to get close to the enemy before they attack with their chainswords that can smash through armour and bone. Abilities Striking Scorpians can sprint in order to literally run circles around their inferior opponents in close combat. To sprint, use the Special Move key [Q] Tips Striking Scorpians excel in close combat, get in there! On some maps, the green Scorpians can blend in well with the surrounding terrain.

Wraithlord The Wraithlord is conceptually a similar machine to a human or ork Dreadnought, but is technologically leagues ahead. The entire machine is made from the psychoresonant Eldar contruct known as wraithbone, and is controlled by a spirit stone containing the soul of a dead Eldar. Tips Only the leader of the driver class can become a Warithlord. Wraithlords are incredibly powerful war machines, but generally will only have one spawn. Wraithlords are equipped with a ranged weapon and a close combat weapon that works in the same manner as normal classes' close combat weapons. Warning Wraithlords are relatively slow compared to other classes in Rival Species, and often have limited mobility within maps. Wargear List Bright Lance and Power Fist |

Jet BikeEldar jetbikes use advanced anti-gravity technology to hover a few feet above the ground. They are sleek and fast vehicles used to strafe or close with the enemy. Tips Jetbikes must be driven using the directional keys. Eldar jetbikes are armed with twin Shuriken Catapults that may be aimed up and down by the mouse. Warning: it is very hard to fight from a jetbike! They are best used to strafe the enemy, or to reach them for close combat before dismounting. Warning: Players may only re-mount their own jetbike, and no one else's. |

Dark Reapers The heavily armoured Dark Reapers are perhaps the most sinister and lethal of all the Aspect Warriors: the Aspect of Death. They excel at long range support and carry the fast-firing Reaper Launcher that shoots a hail of armour-piercing rockets. Warning due to heavy armour and foot stabilisers to help support their rocket launchers, Dark Reapers cannot move as fast as other Eldar. Wargear List Reaper Launcher |

Armoury
LasgunEldar use a variety of laser weapons. They are simple, reliable, and far more efficient than human equivalents used by the Imperial Guard. Laser fire is not particularly powerful. It is best to concentrate the power of several laser weapons together to take out power armoured opponents. |
