Spear of Khaine (Unit)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Spear of Khaine is a unit of battle-seers of the Eldar Craftworld of Eldar Ulthwé who serve as a bodyguard detail for an Avatar of Khaine on the battlefield. They are an integral part of the psychic-choir that summons the Avatar to war and thus sometimes even take part in the awakening ritual. The Spear is composed of Warlocks who have previously spent centuries on the Path of the Warrior and thus have the strongest link to the Avatar. Working in conjunction with the living incarnation of their war god, the Spear of Khaine is a near unstoppable force on the field of battle, where they consist of the Avatar itself along with two or five Warlock bodyguards.[1]
