Their civilisation spans countless millennia and their technology is the most sophisticated and evolved. However they are a dwindling race, scattered through the galaxy on their massive craftworlds, battling against the eternal threat of their extinction.  \nEach Eldar craftworld has its own a unique culture, and while there are many common qualities between armies from the different craftworlds, there are important differences too. Biel-Tan is known amongst the craftworlds for being the most militaristic and for having the most Aspect Warriors. Biel-Tan is also the most aggresive of all the craftworlds, and has taken it upon itself the task of rebuilding the Eldar empire.  \nTHE SWORDWIND  \nBiel-Tan is located towards the southern rim of the galaxy, atthe edge of what is believed to be the extent of the ancient Eldar empire. Amongst the Eldar, the Biel-Tan have a welldeserved reputation for being warlike. Their name means‘Rebirth of Ancient Days’ in the Eldar tongue and it is the Biel-Tan who have taken it upon themselves to strive to rebuild the glory of the Eldar. To this end, the Eldar of BielTan place greater importance upon the Path of the Warrior than other craftworlds do, for they know that if a new Eldar empire is to be forged, it will be done in the heat of battle and with much bloodshed.  \nAs well as its Seers, Biel-Tan is also governed by a military council known as the Court of the Young King. Their number is made up from Exarchs who have spent a year in  \nSPECIAL RULE  \nMay Not Garrison  \nThe Eldar are a highly mobile army, and rarely have enough forces to try to take and hold ground. Because of this, instead of maintaining a heavily garrisoned front line, they will usually rely on a screen of Rangers and War Walkers to warn of the approach of any enemy forces. Meanwhile the bulk of the highly mobile Eldar army will be held back in reserve, where it will be ready to move quickly to any threatened sector. This tactic allows the Eldar to hold large areas of ground with relatively few troops.  \nTo represent these tactics, only Eldar Rangers and War Walkers are allowed to garrison objectives in the Grand Tournament game scenario.  \nthe honoured position of the Young King. The Young King is ritually sacrificed to awake the raging spirit of the Avatar of Khaine but on Biel-Tan, a Young King who survives the year in office will join the Court rather than return to tend their Shrine. The Exarchs of the Court are highly hostile to all outsiders, as one might expect, and it is they who have led to the aggressive nature of the Biel-Tan Craftworld.  \nThe assembled warhost of Biel-Tan is known as the Bahzhakhain, meaning the Swordwind, or Tempest of Blades. The Swordwind relies on a single attack which uses surprise and the immense fighting skills and firepower of its Aspect Warriors to annihilate the enemy in one swift blow. To this end, the Swordwind employs numerous Wave Serpents and Falcons to move its units into position, from which the Aspect Warriors then launch a devastating all-out attack, smashing into the enemy and giving them no chance to recover.  \nThis kind of attack has proved particularly devastating against the Swordwind’s favoured type of target – enemy colonies. The Biel-Tan see any colonisation by other races asa threat to the future growth of the Eldar empire. It is their philosophy that it is better to eradicate any usurpers as soon as possible before the enemy becomes well established. To this end, there have been countless conflicts between Imperial forces and the Biel-Tan Craftworld. Often the Explorators oftheAdeptus Mechanicus colonise worlds near to Biel-Tan’s course, only for the Eldar to launch an attack and wipe out the settlers. This forces the Imperium to provide heavy garrisons for ne","cbCainGMvhPqGXkX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainGMvhPqGXkX","pdf",1553768,"English","# THE SWORDWIND\n## Special Rule: May Not Garrison\n## Biel-Tan Craftworld Army List\n## Biel-Tan Craftworld Individuals","[{\"question\":\"What makes Biel-Tan different from other Eldar craftworlds?\",\"answer\":\"Biel-Tan is known for being highly militaristic and fielding the most Aspect Warriors.
