====Assault Units==== *'''Avatar of Khaine''' - The heart of every Craftworld contains a shrine in which sits the Avatar of the Bloody Handed God, Kaela Mensha Khaine - the Eldar god of war. When the Eldar engage in desperate struggles, the Avatar is roused from its brooding slumber as an embodiment of terror and carnage, prepared to lead the Eldar into battle. The Avatar is a monstrous creature, with molten metal for blood, steel-like skin, and smouldering eyes intent on death and destruction. In one hand it wields the Wailing Doom, one of the most devastating hand held weapons known. This mighty Sword is capable of smashing tanks and slicing the most heavily armoured warrior in two. The Avatar’s other hand constantly drips with blood, capable of crushing a skull with ease or smashing through muscle and bone with a single blow. The Avatar can be the ultimate Eldar fighting unit; however, even a lion can be brought down by enough jackals. Always defend the Avatar’s flanks. *'''Howling Banshees''' - The Howling Banshees are swift and mobile troops, most deadly in hand-to-hand fighting. Their Banshee masks contain psychosonic amplifiers that magnify their battle screams into mind-destroying barrages. Their screams inflict a severe shock to the central nervous system of the Eldar’s foe, causing momentary paralysis. Banshees are excellent at terminating enemy troops caught in the open or in light cover, as their psychic screams prevent most opponents from even firing back. Most Howling Banshees are female, although any Aspect Warriors can be male or female. Howling Banshees are armed with power swords. *'''Howling Banshee Exarch''' - The Howling Banshee Exarch represents the highest level of skill and proficiency possible for a warrior on the Howling Banshee path. A warrior having achieved this level can never again experience any life or existence that is not dedicated completely to their warrior code. The Exarchs’ fanatical dedication drives them to achieve spectacular levels of skill in their chosen path. Howling Banshee Exarchs are armed with a devastating power axe. Howling Banshee Exarchs make effective shock troops, as their stunned opponents are incapable of launching a full-force counter attack. If they themselves fall victim to a surprise assault, however, they can be vulnerable. *'''Striking Scorpions''' - The Striking Scorpions are among the most powerful of the hand-to-hand fighting Aspect Warriors. Striking Scorpions carry powered saw-toothed swords called chainswords. In effect, chainswords are elegant, high-powered chainsaws that can easily rip through flesh or metal. Striking Scorpions excel at breaking through hardened lines, where their heavier armour allows them to charge into melee range. Once Scorpions have closed the necessary distance, no opponent can stand long against their furious battle prowess. *'''Striking Scorpion Exarch''' - The Striking Scorpion Exarch represents the highest level of skill and proficiency possible for a warrior on the Striking Scorpion path. The Striking Scorpion Exarch is armed with a chainsword. Striking Scorpion Exarchs are best suited for close, hand to hand assaults. They are very durable, shrugging off wounds that would destroy lesser units.
