Space travel in 40k is already a bad idea, honestly. However, Aeldari pirates make it worse in seconds.

They hit fast, vanish faster, and somehow still look smug. Meanwhile, the biggest name in Corsair history is steering the knife. So yes, Prince Yriel is apparently here too.

Prince Yriel: Making Corsairs Way Scarier Up Close

Yriel is famous for defending Craftworld Iyanden from Tyranids, and he is back with attitude. More importantly, he buffs any unit he joins with Piratical Hero. That turns his squad into a real melee problem. Corsair Voidscarred already swing power swords, so extra accuracy ramps damage hard. Also, Yriel is not just a cheerleader in fancy armor.

He carries the Spear of Twilight, which shreds almost anything short of a tank. Therefore, if he gets into the right fight, something important dies. Still, the spear is also cursed trouble waiting to happen. The article even jokes that future Yriel can deal with it.

Kharseth and the Skyreavers: Psychic Setup and Raid-and-Run Pressure

Yriel is joined by Void Dreamer Kharseth, a psyker and navigator for the raid. Their realspace senses help spot incoming drop troops. Meanwhile, their psychic tricks destabilise reality to set up follow-up attacks. So, your melee punch lands where it matters.

Then the Corsair Skyreavers show up overhead for classic hit-and-run chaos. They are fragile, yet they scrap well in melee. Plus, every five models can pack two strong guns. That makes them great for hunting soft backfield units and Lone Operative support characters.

Starfang Speed: Disintegrators, Grenades, and Battlefield Obscuring

Finally, the Starfang brings the drive-by violence. It zips around deleting elite infantry with disintegrator cannon bursts. Also, it throws out grenade fire for extra pressure. Even better, its grenade launcher can fire Hallucinogen Grenades. Therefore, it can obscure friendly Corsairs from enemy fire across the board.

Summary

In summary, this Eldritch Raiders force screams speed, disruption, and precise bullying. Yriel makes whatever squad he joins much deadlier in combat, while his spear threatens big targets. Meanwhile, Kharseth and the Skyreavers add psychic setup and slippery repositioning. Then the Starfang plays executioner and bodyguard with obscuring grenades. According to the article, you can grab these new Corsair kits first in the Battleforce: Eldritch Raiders box on pre-order Saturday, so bring your best pirate grin.
