www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ynnari-rules-101.jpgLooks like ynarri are finally getting the update *cough Nerf cough* they need to come in like with everyone else. The teaser seems to leak that all faction keywords such as craftworld or cult are removed and replaced on ynarri units, helping fix their soup-like cherry picking. I expect more changes to leak soon, and the update is expected to drop in the May white dwarf

From what I could piece together; it looks like Soulburst makes it so they always strike first in melee and add 1 to attack rolls made in a turn they charge while soulburst is active.
If that's all it does... that's one heck of a nerf; though I'm taking all of this with a liberal spoonful of salt until it's out for real. Though if it's a "GW sanctioned" leak, we'll be seeing the real pages very soon.

Nice, RIP Ynnari.
They are the way to go if you want CC Aeldari, but who wants that?

Yikes. To go from the outrageous Index: Assassins to this trainwreck...
Well, good riddance. I was sick of seeing armies aside from Imperium soup do well.

Yeah, judging by the wording of the rules, there's a little bit of upside and BIG changes.
First, if you look at the wording of the rules, Strength from Death triggers any time any unit is destroyed. It triggers globally. So the entire army benefits from it regardless of range, or from which army a unit was destroyed.
Sadly, always fights first is rather terrible, and +1 to hit if you already have fights first is pretty awful compensation. It makes a few select units super ridiculous (Shining Spears, Wraithblades with Axes, Incubi, Wyches, Wraithknights using Stomp), and it brings a melee-based elf army from terrible to playable but that's about it.
Word of the Pheonix has gone from ZOMG SO OP to hot garbage, Unbind Souls will be a staple of making Ynnari work now. Other psychic powers are meh.
Ynnead's Net makes Shining Spears a staple in Ynnari, you'll see at least 1 large unit of them in every list.
Shrine of the Whsipering God will be something you have to list build around, but allows you to get Ynnari benefits Incubi, which again, will likely be a staple unit.
Overall, it's the nerf Ynnari deserve. It's not a complete trainwreck, but it's certainly a HUGE power level and meta change.
