The Swooping Hawks take their name from the wild hunting birds of the Eldar myths, synonymous with vengeance and retribution.
A Swooping Hawk Exarch
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.
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 a far more efficient energy weapon than the clumsy Lasgun of the Imperium and the grenade pack that they use against personnel and artillery to great effect.The Swooping Hawks can be equipped with Haywire Grenades, allowing them to disable enemy vehicles.
The Phoenix Lord of the Swooping Hawks is Baharroth, The Cry of the Wind.
