![]() As the Power Weapon can easily slice through armour, the Banshees are very effective against well-armoured opponents like Space Marines in close combat. The Howling Banshees are equipped with a Shuriken Pistol and a melee Power Weapon, usually an Aeldari blade. The Howling Banshees are a close combat Aspect made up primarily of female Aeldari. The Phoenix Lord of the Fire Dragons is Fuegan, the Burning Lance. The Exarch can be given a Fire Pike, a stronger Fusion Gun with better range, and skills to make him an excellent tank-killer, as well as a highly dangerous melee combatant. The Fusion Gun is also very effective against heavy infantry such as Space Marine Terminators, but is limited by its short range. ![]() They carry a Fusion Gun and Melta Bombs, both excellent weapons for dealing with vehicles, and have Grenade Launchers built into their armour. The Fire Dragons specialize in short-range firepower and anti-tank warfare. Their skill and artistry in flight is nearly unmatched by the combat pilots of any other species, as they take to the skies in their Nightwing interceptors or Phoenix strike aircraft. These Aeldari are superb pilots of any type of Aeldari aircraft or spacecraft, but especially excel in the aerial arts of war. Like their fellow airborne Aspect Warriors, the Swooping Hawks, the Eagle Pilots take exultant pleasure in the arts of aerial combat. The Phoenix Lord of the Dark Reapers is Maugan Ra, the Harvester of Souls.Īn Eagle Pilot is an Aeldari Aspect Warrior who follows the Warrior Path of the Phoenix Lord Amon Harakht, of whom almost nothing is known. Their Exarch can be equipped with more powerful weapons, such as a Missile Launcher or Shuriken Cannon. Their standard weapon is a Reaper Launcher which is a powerful, long ranged weapon that fires several small missiles at the target. The Dark Reapers represent the Aeldari War God Khaine in his aspect as a destroyer, and specialize in long-range firepower. He was the first of the Phoenix Lords and the greatest, who instructed all the other founding Phoenix Lords in the skills of combat. The Phoenix Lord of the Dire Avengers is Asurmen, the Hand of Asur. The Exarch can be equipped to improve the squads' close combat abilities. They are armed with Shuriken Catapults, an effective if short-ranged weapon, and perform as elite troops. The Dire Avengers are the oldest and most numerous Aspect Warriors. Thus, if a craftworld subsequently goes to war, these former Aspects will frequently be called upon to serve as Guardians, a type of citizen-soldier serving as part of a militia to defend the craftworld. ![]() Since the population of the surviving Aeldari race is so low, all Aeldari are expected to serve if called to fight. Once an Aeldari warrior finishes their time as an Aspect Warrior, he or she moves on to other occupations, as called for by the conventions of the Asuryani Path. This means that the new warrior's soul merges with those of the previous wearers of the suit, which is essentially a compact and mobile version of the craftworld's Infinity Circuit. When an Aspect Warrior becomes an Exarch, they will don one of the ancient suits of Exarch armour that belong to that shrine, and this suit will bond to their flesh permanently. The first member or founder of an Aspect Shrine is called a Phoenix Lord. These Exarchs are powerful warriors, doomed to either die on the battlefield, or to eventually be chosen to become the Avatar of Khaine. Warhammer 40K Darktide Review - Left To ShredĮach Aspect Shrine is led by an Exarch, an Aeldari fallen to the curse of inability to leave the Path of the Warrior. The following table lists all known Asuryani Warrior Aspects and their roles in the Aeldari order of battle: When an Asuryani feels called to the Path of the Warrior, he or she will join an Aspect Shrine, a cult of warriors who train themselves to embody some aspect of the Aeldari War God Khaine or ancient Aeldari myths and legends.Īll Asuryani craftworlds maintain at least some Aspect Shrines, although some, notably the Biel-Tan craftworld, have more than others and place a greater emphasis on the Path of the Warrior in their society. The Asuryani are known to pursue any task they set out to do with an intensity that makes Human efforts pale in comparison. A group of Aspect Warriors led by an Aeldari Warlock from left to right is a Dire Avenger, Howling Banshee, Fire Dragon, Striking Scorpion, Dark Reaper and Swooping Hawk.Īspect Warriors are those Craftworld Aeldari or Asuryani who specialise in certain aspects of combat during their time on the Path of the Warrior.
