Each time this model makes an attack that targets an enemy unit that can '''FLY''', that attack automatically hits the target.

''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.

''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.

'''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.

''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.''

'''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.

'''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".

'''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.

''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.

'''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.

''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+.’

|}

'''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.

'''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.

''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:

'''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.

''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.
