Alaitoc

Alaitoc is one of the major craftworlds of the Eldar (Aeldari) in the Warhammer 40,000 setting. It travels the Webway and is renowned for stealth, reconnaissance, and long-range warfare; its forces rely on concealment and precision to cripple foes before a direct engagement.

Society and governance are organized around a Craftworld Council that includes Farseers and Warlocks, with Autarchs providing leadership for larger-scale operations when needed. The craftworld emphasizes secrecy and information-gathering, and its people are considered among the most secretive and patient among the Eldar.

Military doctrine centers on Ranger and Pathfinding specialists, who excel at stealth, camouflage, and long-range fire support. Markerlight assets are used to coordinate and magnify allied firepower, making even modest forces lethal at distance. While Rangers and Pathfinders form the core, Alaitoc can field Guardians and other Eldar assets in support roles to suit the mission.

Tactically, Alaitoc forces favor evasive, hit-and-run engagements and the use of terrain to their advantage. They prefer to strike from concealment, degrade enemy capabilities through precision shooting, and withdraw before a counterattack is mounted. This emphasis on intelligence, misdirection, and surgical strikes defines their reputation within the broader Eldar milieu.

In popular culture and lore, Alaitoc appears across codices, novels, and games as the archetypal stealth-focused craftworld. Its portrayal highlights the Eldar’s expertise in camouflage, reconnaissance, and the strategic use of markerlights to shape battlefield outcomes.
