Hmm. So it appears that at the least, all Aspect Warriors have Battle Focus, and it’s nice to see the dragon Exarch getting Fast Shot. The “pick two out of three powers” is pretty cool. So I’m thinking as an Eldar player that after years of cursing the rear doors on our lengthy transports, that the move, run, fire option is going to make Fire Dragon attack runs out of Wave Serpents that much nastier. It should be that much easier to get within melta range without having to flip you transports butt forward. The Exarch firing twice with a Firepike at BS:5 wont hurt either! Also 3+ Armor – WOOT!
Regarding Warlocks – that W:2 is a real eye opener. I’m betting these guys get Brotherhood of Psykers.
