'''Codex: Craftworlds''' is an expansion book for the [[8th Edition]] of [[Warhammer 40,000]].

== Cover Description ==
Lost in the vastness of space, the [[craftworld]]s float in utter isolation like scattered jewels upon a pall of velvet. Distant from the warmth of sun or planet, their domes gaze into the darkness of empty space. Within them live the survivors of a civilisation abandoned long ago amidst terrifying destruction. These are the [[Aeldari]], a race that is all but extinct, the last remnants of a people whose mere dreams once overturned worlds and quenched suns.

==Contents==
