Once per phase, before making a dice roll for a model or unit from your army, if you have one or more dice in your Fate dice pool, you can use one of those Fate dice. To do so, select one of those Fate dice to substitute that dice roll. The dice that is being substituted is not rolled; instead, the value of the selected Fate dice is used as if it had been rolled (this counts as an unmodified dice roll of that value for all rules purposes). Each Fate dice can only be used in this way once. After using a Fate dice, remove it from your Fate dice pool and roll all remaining dice that are part of that dice roll (if any).

=== Exarch Powers ===
{| class="wikitable"
|''The Exarchs of the Aspect Warrior Shrines have long travelled the Path of the Warrior. Their skills honed over countless decades of war, they are amongst the finest fighters of the Asuryani.''
|}
If your army is Battle-forged and includes any '''ASURYANI''' Detachments (excluding Auxiliary Support and Super-heavy Auxiliary Detachments), then when you are mustering your army, you can upgrade '''ASPECT''' '''WARRIOR''' units from your army that contains an Exarch model by giving them one Exarch Power, chosen from those presented here. To do so, select one '''ASPECT''' '''WARRIOR''' unit that contains a model that has the word ‘Exarch’ in their profile, and select one of the appropriate Exarch Power upgrades from those listed below. That unit gains the ability listed under that Exarch Power.
You can also select any '''CRIMSON''' '''HUNTER''' unit from your army and upgrade that model to be an Exarch. When you do so, select one of the appropriate Exarch Powers listed below for that model.
Each time you upgrade a unit to have an Exarch Power, its Power Rating is increased by 1. If you are playing a matched play game, or a game that uses a points limit, then the points value of that model is also increased by the amount shown in the tables. Make a note on your army roster each time you upgrade a unit to have an Exarch Power. Unless otherwise stated, each unit can only have one Exarch Power.
If a unit has an Exarch Power, its Exarch model will also gain bonuses to its characteristics, as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|
{| class="wikitable"
|Add 1 to that model’s Wounds characteristic.
| +1 W
|-
|
|
|-
|If that model is a Crimson Hunter, Dark Reaper, Swooping Hawk, Warp Spider, or Fire Dragon Exarch, improve its Ballistic Skill characteristic by 1.
| +1 BS
|-
|
|
|-
|If that model is a Striking Scorpion, Howling Banshee, Shining Spear or Dire Avenger Exarch, add 1 to its Attacks characteristic.
| +1 A
|}
|}
Your army (or Crusade force) cannot include more than one unit with the same Exarch Power (or more than one '''CRIMSON''' '''HUNTER''' model upgraded to be an Exarch).
==== Crimson Hunters ====
''Few if any, can equal the airborne grace, skill and lethality of the Crimson Hunters. Their Exarchs are sufficiently deadly that they make even the ace pilots of the galaxy’s other races look like fumbling new recruits.''

'''EYES OF KHAINE'''
''This Exarch is an expert in guiding their aircraft on attack runs against their airborne foes. Against their aerobatic prowess, even the swiftest enemies seem clumsy.''
Each time this model makes an attack that targets an enemy unit that can '''FLY''', that attack automatically hits the target.
'''STRAFING ASSAULT'''
''This warrior’s blazing weapons strike with pinpoint accuracy at the weak spots of their target, even while moving at supersonic speeds.''
Each time this model makes a ranged attack, the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.
'''SWOOPING EVASION'''
''With an almost preternatural ability to sense danger and the trajectory of incoming projectiles, this Exarch dances effortlessly through enemy anti-aircraft fire without pausing their perfect attack runs.''
This model has a 5+ invulnerable save.
==== Dire Avengers ====
''Devotees of Asuryan himself, those who walk the path of the Dire Avenger become adept at both attack and defence. Their Exarchs are masters of a swift and flexible warrior stance that capitalises on everything it means to be Asuryani.''

'''DEFENSIVE STANCE'''
''Entering a battle trance, time seems to slow down for the Exarch and their warriors, allowing them to bring their ranged weapons to bear despite the close proximity of the foe.''
In your Shooting phase, while this unit contains a Dire Avenger Exarch model, models in this unit can make attacks with ranged weapons even while this unit is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, and can do so even if other friendly units are also within Engagement Range of any of those enemy units. If they do so, these attacks can only target enemy units within Engagement Range of this unit.
'''SHREDDING FIRE'''
''Calling upon Asuryan to bless their weapons, the Exarch and their warriors shred their foes with devastating volleys of shuriken fire.''
While this unit contains a Dire Avenger Exarch model, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack with a shuriken weapon, the Rending ability takes effect on an unmodified wound roll of 5+ for that attack, instead of 6.
'''STAND FIRM'''
''Taking the example of Asuryan, these warriors stand resolute before the storm.''
While this unit contains a Dire Avenger Exarch model:
* This unit has the Objective Secured ability. If this unit already has the Objective Secured ability, then for the purposes of determining which player controls an objective marker, each model in this unit counts as three models.
* Add 1 to the Leadership characteristic of models in this unit.
==== Warp Spiders ====
''Warp Spider Exarchs are masters of misdirection. Their minds spin constantly with tactical ruses and vicious predatory schemes, made all the more deadly for their ability to think beyond the dull physical dimensions of realspace.''

|}
'''SPIDER’S LAIR'''
''This Exarch and their warriors are experts in rapidly creating a web of monofilament wires, luring the enemy into close confines where they are entangled and sliced apart even after their slayers have flickered away.''
Once per battle, at the end of your Movement phase, if this unit is wholly within an Area Terrain feature and contains a Warp Spider Exarch model, you can select for that terrain feature to be webbed. If you do so, until the start of your next turn:
* Enemy units treat that terrain feature as if it had the Dangerous Terrain trait.
* Each time an enemy unit ends any type of move (excluding pile-in or consolidation moves) within that terrain feature, roll one D6: on a 2+, that enemy unit suffers D3 S5 AP4 hits.
'''SURPRISE ASSAULT'''
''Rapid target acquisition is the speciality of this Exarch and their warriors, materialising into realspace and slaying their unsuspecting foes in a storm of monofilament threads.''
If this unit was set up in Reserves and contains a Warp Spider Exarch model, when this unit is set up on the battlefield for the first time, until the end of the turn, each time a model in this unit is selected to shoot, it makes 1 additional attack with each death spinner it is equipped with.
'''WEB OF DECEIT'''
''Those who think they have this Exarch and their warriors cornered often find their quarry vanished, before suddenly coming under fire again from an unexpected direction.''
Once per battle, if this unit contains a Warp Spider Exarch model, instead of making a Battle Focus move, you can remove this unit from the battlefield and set it up again anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
==== Shining Spears ====
''Like elite cavalrymen, the Shining Spears fight from the saddles of their jetbike steeds with blistering speed and skill. So supremely graceful are their Exarchs that it is as though they ride the zephyrs of the wind and strike with the fury of the hurricane.''

'''EXPERT LANCERS'''
''This Exarch leads their warriors in deadly strikes, swooping down on their jetbikes to deliver a killing blow with every pass.''
In the Fight phase, each time a model in this unit makes an attack, if this unit made a charge move this turn and contains a Shining Spear Exarch model, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.
'''HEARTSTRIKE'''
''Even while travelling at tremendous speeds, this Exarch is able to make pinpoint killing strikes against their enemy without fail.''
Each time this unit’s Shining Spear Exarch model makes a melee attack, an unmodified wound roll of 5+ is treated as having the Rending Keyword.
'''LIGHTNING ATTACKS'''
''The Shining Spear shrines teach that mobility is the key to victory, and as such their devotees seek to destroy each target and move onto the next before their foe can respond.''
Each time this unit makes a consolidation move, if it contains a Shining Spear Exarch model, it can move an additional 6".
==== Howling Banshees ====
''Speed, grace and overwhelming force are the hallmarks of the Howling Banshee shrines. Their Exarchs exhibit the greatest ability of all, their very presence enhancing the terrifying capacity for murder that their followers can unleash.''

'''GRACEFUL AVOIDANCE'''
''Those who try to match blades with a Howling Banshee find their deadliest blows meeting nothing but air, as their foe dances around them before delivering the fatal strike.''
While this unit contains a Howling Banshee Exarch model, models in this unit have a 3+ invulnerable save against melee attacks.
'''NERVE-SHREDDING SHRIEK'''
''Working in concert with the spirits of past wearers of their ritual armour, this Exarch releases a multi-frequency, mournful screech from their mask, bursting organs and incapacitating any foe who hears it.''
Each time this unit finishes a charge move, you can select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of this unit’s Howling Banshee Exarch model and roll one D6: on a 2+, that enemy unit suffers a -3 penalty to their LD characteristic.
'''PIERCING STRIKES'''
''With a flourish, this Exarch extends their weapon in the perfect killing blow, driving it deep into their enemy with ferocious precision.''
To wound rolls of 5+ of melee attacks made by this unit’s Howling Banshee Exarch model have the Instant Death keyword.
==== Striking Scorpions ====
''Striking Scorpions rely upon stealth to stalk their prey. When they attack, their Exarchs lead them in lightning-fast explosions of violence that see their enemies reduced to bloody shreds in a frenzy of chainblade and shuriken attacks.''

'''CRUSHING BLOWS'''
''This Exarch’s speed and dexterity belie their great power. Every strike of their weapons crushes their unfortunate foes.''
Each time this unit’s Striking Scorpion Exarch model makes a melee attack that targets a non-'''TITANIC''' unit, if a hit is scored, that attack automatically wounds the target.
'''DEADLY AMBUSH'''
''Lurking in perfect stillness, the Exarch and their warriors become one with the shadows. As their unsuspecting foe approaches, they leap into action, swifty destroying them in a blur of mandiblaster fire and tearing chainblades before blending into their surroundings once again.''
While this unit contains a Striking Scorpion Exarch model and is wholly within an Area Terrain feature, each time a melee attack is made by a model in this unit, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll and improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
'''SCORPION’S STING'''
''This Exarch utilises their mandiblasters with expert precision, directing deadly volleys at the most vulnerable points of the foe.''
Each time this unit is selected to fight, if this unit contains a Striking Scorpion Exarch model, until that fight is resolved, replace the ability of this unit’s Striking Scorpion Exarch model’s mandiblasters with the following:
‘During the Fight Phase, at the start of the Initiative 10 step, roll a D6 for each model equipped with mandiblasters. On a result of 3+, an enemy unit that is engaged with the model (attacking player’s choice) suffers a single Wound (saving throws can be taken as normal). Gargantuan Creatures suffer a Wound on a result of 5+ instead of 3+.’
==== Dark Reapers ====
''Those who fight as Dark Reapers become living embodiments of death. Bent upon the annihilation of their foes by any means necessary, the Exarchs of the Dark Reapers are grim and cruel-hearted figures who are terrible to behold.''

|}
'''BRINGER OF DEATH'''
''This Exarch is completely at one with their weapon, entering a killing trance until their foes lie in ruins. Their ritual weapon acquires new targets even as each projectile streaks towards the previous victim, resulting in a hail of fire unmatched.''
* If this unit’s Dark Reaper Exarch model is equipped with a Reaper launcher or shuriken cannon, each time that model is selected to shoot, it makes 1 additional attack with that weapon.
* If this unit’s Dark Reaper Exarch model is equipped with an Aeldari missile launcher or tempest launcher, each time that model makes a ranged attack, the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.
'''FOCUSED FIRE'''
''With steely focus, this Exarch eliminates all other distractions from their consciousness. All that exists is the potent tool of destruction they wield, and its luckless victims.''
Each time this unit’s Dark Reaper Exarch model makes a ranged attack, add 1 to that attack’s wound roll.
'''REAPER’S REACH'''
''Some Exarchs train their warriors to maximise the reach of their weapons by constantly moving and firing. Such warriors are able to switch from a run to a stable firing position in the blink of an eye.''
While this unit contains a Dark Reaper Exarch model, models in this unit ignore any penalties to their hit rolls with ranged weapons. They still resolve Overwatch with Snapshots, and any rules that force them to fire Snapshots are not ignored.
==== Fire Dragons ====
''The Fire Dragons burn with the heat of Vaul’s own forge. Just as the Master Smith could melt down and destroy his creations, so the Exarchs of the Fire Dragons can unleash powers of fiery unmaking upon living warrior and war engine alike.''

'''BLAZING FURY'''
''Channelling the fury of previous wearers of their armour, this Exarch’s weapons and those of their warriors blaze with barely restrained fire.''
While this unit contains a Fire Dragon Exarch model, add 4" to the Range characteristic of ranged weapons models in this unit are equipped with.
'''BURNING HEAT'''
''With the benefit of centuries of experience, there is no foe this Exarch cannot identify the weaknesses of, coordinating the fire of their warriors into overwhelming surges of targeted heat.''
While this unit contains a Fire Dragon Exarch model, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack that targets a unit within 9", if a hit is scored, that attack automatically wounds the target.
'''DRAGON’S BITE'''
''Those familiar with the Dragon of Aeldari myth know that while its fire was deadly, those who drew close exposed themselves to its equally dangerous bite.''
Each time this unit’s Fire Dragon Exarch model makes a ranged attack that targets a '''VEHICLE''' or '''MONSTER''' unit that is within half range when this unit is selected to shoot:
* If that attack is made with a Dragon fusion gun or firepike, add 2 to the roll on the Vehicle Damage chart of that attack.
* If that attack is made with a Dragon’s breath flamer, when resolving that attack, you can re-roll the wound roll.
==== Swooping Hawks ====
''Swooping Hawks rely upon speed and firepower to tear their foes apart at range, committing to melee only when they need to strike a killing blow. The Exarchs of these soaring Aspect Warriors perfectly embody this way of war.''

'''RAPID REDEPLOYMENT'''
''This Exarch knows the perfect time to call a retreat - their warriors respond instantly, guns blazing as they take to the sky.''
While this unit contains a Swooping Hawk Exarch model, this unit is eligible to shoot in a turn in which it Fell Back.
'''SUPPRESSING FIRE'''
''This Exarch and their warriors are experts in providing supporting fire from on high, forcing their enemies to duck for cover as their allies close in, before swooping away to another critical location.''
Ranged weapons equipped by this units Exarch Model have the Pinning keyword, and when resolving a Pinning test, that enemy unit must do so on 3d6 instead of 2d6.
'''WINGED EVASION'''
''With the gentlest flicker of their iridescent wings, this Exarch and their warriors flit effortlessly through even the staunchest enemy fire.''
Each time this unit is selected as the target of a ranged attack, if it contains a Swooping Hawk Exarch model, until the end of the phase, each time a ranged attack is made against this unit, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll.
