Command an Ancient Empire on the Brink of Extinction
Long before the younger races of the galaxy crawled from their primordial slime, the Aeldari ruled the stars in unmatched luxury and power. But arrogance bred disaster. Their glittering civilization collapsed in a cataclysmic psychic cataclysm known simply as The Fall, birthing a Chaos God and consuming their stellar empire overnight.
The survivors now traverse the cold void of space aboard colossal, continent-sized bioships known as Craftworlds. Codex: Craftworlds (8th Edition) is your definitive guide to commanding these ancient, elegant, and deeply tragic warriors. Though their numbers are dwindling, their psychic supremacy, mastery of the webway, and unmatched martial discipline make them one of the most lethal forces in the galaxy. Step into the role of an Autarch or Farseer, unleash the deadly aspect warriors, and guide your people through the Age of Survival—because for the Aeldari, defeat means the eternal damnation of their very souls.
