Very fond memories of watching a friend run Biel-Tan versus Black Templars. And, after sending another friend a picture of the board state at game start, and then turn 3, in response to his "what happened?!", "So the Banshees were in a tank, then they jumped out of the tank, ran faster than the tank they got out of, got into melee range with the Space Marines, and it turns out power weapons do not give a FUCK about ceramite." Good times.

Hey Pancreas, with aspect warriors all having their own unit heraldry, that makes them the Bretonnians of 40k

[@Draxynnic]

Not really. See, the thing is that the Bretonnians each have their own heraldry, with MAYBE sharing colours as a concession to unit cohesion. For Aspect Warriors, however, each Aspect has its own heraldry. A closer analogue would be, unsurprisingly, the elite units of the various elven subraces, some of which have similar mythological-animal-inspired heraldry (Dragon Princes, Phoenix Guard, White Lions, Raven Heralds before they sided with Malekith and became Dark Riders) while others could be viewed as embodying aspects of Elven warfare (Swordmasters could be viewed as the fantasy equivalent of Dire Avengers, Executioners as Dark Reapers, etc). I'm not sure which actually came first, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out that the High Elf units that are themed around creatures they're associated with inspired the Aspect Warrior concept or vice versa.

You have 2 stories the game on of you needing to find and destroy some threat trying to destroy your Craftworld and your Warrior Path stories of you following a story dedicated to one of the Warrior Paths. The non-warrior paths are there for a crafting mechanic, but wouldn't get to much focus. As you travel down a Warrior path and reach a fifth of its story you have the choice of dedicating to that path and becoming an Exarch or leaving it incomplete to travel a different one to continue the Aurtarch/Warrior story.

They'd also be good in a party setup, with each having a very distinct speciality that essentially acts as a class. Could even include a warlock, since warlocks are essentially warrior-seers: while it is technically the Path of the Seer rather than the Warrior, it wouldn't be a serious break to include one. Thing is, nobody's been willing to make an Eldar-focused game since Rites of War.

oh boy time to find some Eldar art! **sees Howling Banshees r34** On second thought, never mind!

I find it interesting examining how the Striking Scorpions managed to survive losing the connection to their first Phoenix Lord while the Shadow Specters didn't. Admittedly, the Scorpions still had the Phoenix Lord armor, but one could argue that having your founder go rogue could be seen as a bigger wound than your founder going missing. It would be neat to see them examine this in an Eldar novel if that was the kind of thing had the creativity and interest to do. And I see 3 ways to do it. 1 Autarchs can walk multiple warrior paths, so one who has struck without warning with both chainsword and composite beam cannon can have learned the lore of both and think on it from a single perspective. 2 "rank and file" aspect warriors in the field to break up action scenes and flesh out characters. 3 2 Exarchs to bring the depths of understanding of their aspects' histories and entrenched mindsets. The most alien to the reader and highlighting how distinct the aspects are, even ones that share stealth as a focus.

a little lore correction but the Fire Dragons are as name suggest represent the dragons of eldar mythology characterize by their destructive scourge earth nature, the Swooping hawks represent the eldar hawks who were believed to be the reincarnation of those who were wronged now a spirit of vengeance while Dark reapers take the form of Khaine grim reaper aspect a deal of death (possibly a nod to him killing the nightbringer)

32:25 Or 3) The guy was so instrumental in inventing(?) that Aspect of war that an entire position of the military was named after him, and thus, all future fighter pilots honor his legacy by calling themselves “Amon Harak”, bc he’s not just “**A** fighter pilot” but “**THE** Fighter Pilot”.

Regarding that end bit with the Ginyu Force I was expecting you to say Guldo was the Warp Spiders since his time stop would allow him to basically do what they do, appear where the enemy doesn't expect them to be seemingly out of nowhere.

I have been into Warhammer 40K for about 12 years now. I haven't bought a single model because I'm mostly a book lore and video game guy, but I've considered Admech for the cool cybernetic and transhumanist themes or the Tau for the cool federation/covenant mixed species feel. That last bit comparing the aspect warriors to the Ginyu Force is single-handedly make me rethink what my first Army should be. The idea of a faction dedicated to gardening or poetry living alongside literal super soldiers that create a background explosion via group pose is just too good.
