Swooping Hawks

The Swooping Hawks are the aerial Aspect Warriors of the Eldar. The Swooping Hawks take their name from the wild hunting birds of Eldar Mythology, which are synonymous with vengeance and retribution. In ancient times, the Eldar believed that the spirit of a murdered Eldar would pass into a hawk and hover above the killer as a mark of guilt. The winged Aspect Warriors who take that hawk as their symbol, however, play a much more active role in their foe's destruction.

Combat Role
The Swooping Hawks have the ability to launch high into the air at a moment's notice. Their wings are made from vibrating feather plates and incorporate small gravitic lifters. When the Hawks fly, these wings vibrate with such speed they turn into a blur of colour. The ritual weapons of this Aspect are the Lasblaster, whih is a far more efficient energy weapon than the clumsy Lasgun of the Imperium, and the Grenade Pack that they use against enemy personnel and emplaced artillery to great effect. The Swooping Hawks can be equipped with Haywire Grenades, allowing them to disable enemy vehicles.

Phoenix Lord
The Phoenix Lord of the Swooping Hawks is Baharroth, the Cry of the Wind.
