Aspect of Khaine
The Eldar Aspect Warriors are warriors that have progressed down the Path of the Warrior. Each aspect represents a fighting style embodied in the Eldar god of war, Kaela Mensha Khaine.
Dire Avenger Aspect
The Dire Avengers were the first Aspect Shrine founded. They are the most numerous of all the Eldar Aspect Warriors. They represent Khaine as the noble warrior.
Aspect Wargear
The Dire Avenger aspect warriors are armed with:
Exarch
An Exarch is the leader of an Aspect Shrine. He is one that has traveled so far down the Path of the Warrior, that he can no longer turn from that path to follow another path. This gives them great skill and dedication.
Exarch Wargear
In addition to the wargear of the aspect, the Exarch can be armed with a number of special weapons:
- Avenger shuriken catapult.3
- Diresword.3
- Power Weapon.3
- Shuriken Pistols.3
- Shimmershield.3
- Exarch Armor.1,3
Exarch Powers
The Exarch may study the secrets of the shrine to allow himself and any of his Aspect warriors to go beyond the normal Aspect training.
- Bladestorm.3 Under the guidance of the Exarch the Dire Avenger squad can fire more rapidly without loss of accuracy. However, this tactic usually depletes the squad's ammunition magazines and will require reloading.
- Defend.1,3 The Exarch leads the squad through a series of defensive moves that denies attacks of opportunity to the opponent.
Phoenix Lord
The Phoenix Lord of the Dire Avengers is Asurmen, the Hand of Asur. He was the first of the Phoenix Lords and the greatest, who instructed all the other founding Phoenix Lords in the skills of combat.
