 he
elite warrior caste of the Eldar armies is that of the Aspect
Warrior. Each Aspect has its own ritual wargear and specialties,
excelling at a facet of battle to the exclusion of all else.
Unsupported, this extreme specialization can work against
them, but that is not the Eldar way. When the Aspect Warrior
squads combine their abilities, each unit compliments the
next and their individual battle roles flow together into
a symphony of devastation. Never is this unity of purpose
better demonstrated than in the much-feared Aspect Warrior
assault waves. Swooping across rubble-strewn battlefields
in sleek Wave Serpent transports, Aspect Warrior assault
waves are capable of collapsing an entire battle line with
one well-placed charge. With the aid of a
shield enhancer mounted on the leading Wave Serpent, the
shimmering energy fields surrounding the hulls of these grav-tank
transports
bleed into one another. This forms a bow wave of force potent
enough to deflect the heaviest firepower as the Eldar close
in. Furthermore, whilst the command vehicle is intact this
forcefield can be projected forwards in a great tidal wave
of crackling force, typically a moment before the Aspect
Warriors deploy. This can stun and even paralyze the foe,
leaving them
easy prey for the graceful and deadly aliens that fall upon
them. |
