Despite this mostly being an Ork blog, our first topic is going to be Eldar. Specifically Eldrad
Back In The Day (AKA: before I started playing 40k), GW had a big campaign called the Eye of Terror (There've been some allegations that they rigged the campaign, but we'll get into that later). During that campaign, Eldrad attempted to purify a Blackstone fortress, and got himself "killed" (he's actually trapped in a fight with a massively powerful chaos-thing that he has virtually no hope of beating, but same difference.) And then the 4th edition eldar codex came out. Instead of cutting Eldrad like the should've, GW kept him in the codex, and made him a ridiculously awesome farseer that costs LESS then a fully-kitted out normal farseer. Back then, the Eldar were really the best psykers in the galaxy. And then Space Wolves came out. The ridiculous brokenness that is Jaws of the World Wolf means that the SW are now the best psykers in the galaxy, especially since (from a flavor and gameplay perspective) the Eldar rely on support powers.
So, now we've got a problem. I think that GW is going to "bring back" Eldrad in the next Eldar codex, but that's a bad move. Since he was never really gone from the tabletop, his "death" had no impact. Instead, I propose that Eldrad be removed altogether from the next Eldar codex, and that his abilities (three powers per turn) be made avalible to ALL farseers. Being to cast three support powers per turn would return the farseers to their rightful place as the best psykers in the galaxy.
