Whats your favourite eldar aspect warrior and why?

**Shaman**

Warp spider.

Teleport, slice the mon keigh up teleport out. No phonex lord aswell.

**rivers64**

Ummm..... I think you missed Striking Scorpions. Which just so happen to be my favorite.

Also shining spears. (although I hate them)

**tko75**

ah crap, sorry.

**zonino**

Yeah no Striking Scorpions what's up with that? I'm reading the Path of the Warrior book the now, which is focused on them, and it's kinda cool. Makes them sounds like Space Ninjas.

I'd probably go with the Striking Scorpions as my favourite. Although it's a close thing between then and the Dark Reapers.

**Mr Nobody**

I'd pick striking scopions if they were there, but I'll just go with fire dragons. Nothing scarier than a fire-proof guy wielding fire.

**Nulipuli2**

Howling banshees! They look great, they work great, and in the Eldar fluff they are great! whats not to like?

**timetowaste85**

Warp Spiders seem like they should be the absolute coolest from their background, and I voted for them, but I feel that their stats do not do them justice. But the idea for them is great, and I want to make a Spider list at some point-using the Night Spinners, Warp Spiders, and maybe a battery of the cannon that uses the mono-filament tech. Throw a few units of Dire Avengers in or some Guardians with bright lance spam....hmm, maybe there is some potential. But probably not until the next codex. Oh well...

**anon/rassilon**

Fire Dragons for me. Exarchs that actually light on fire when the war-mask is with them? What aspect embodies the Bloody Handed One better?

**Victimized Tyrant**

Dark reapers. Even though they have ridiculous cost, and should never take a heavy slot. They pack a great amount of fire.

**Fifty**

You also missed Shining Spears, but I doubt that will be a problem.

I think Banshees just edge it for me over Spiders, as I love both models. Well, the original Jes models anyway, the more recent ones suck, especially the "middle" ones.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Banshees all the way for me. They're hot.

**asimo77**

DA, they got sweet hats and the exarch has a fly flag on his back.

**Mattieau**

Dark Reapers, Their phoenix lord is a total bad ass, and i love the way they look. But mainly the phoenix lord. He walked into the warp and brought back the survivors of his world. Bad. Ass.

**lordmoon**

Swooping Hawks, the 3rd ed minis are my favorite of the Eldar range.

**juraigamer**

Striking scorpions... oh wait the aren't listed.

In that case warp spiders, you can't kill what you can't catch after all.

**chaos0xomega**

Warp Spiders... because I have 30 of them...

followed closely by dark reapers.

**Mukkin'About**

Dark reapers.. because... Idk they look cool?
Also Maugan Ra

**phyrephly**

Banshees - they just look, feel and kill awesome. All power Weapons. Lots of Attacks. Cool mask. Cool Hair.

**LeetBix**

Definitely Warp Spiders for their nostalgic value of being my first 40k mini.

**=I= White-Wolf**

Incubi...I'm just sayin

**Ed_Bodger**

I voted Howling Banshees because I love those models I am considering buying them just as a painting project.

In game terms either Fire Dragons or Dire Avengers.

**Mattieau**

Win. Are Incubi still considered part of the aspect though?

**JazzyJ**

Gotta be Warp Spiders they're just so fething cool

**chaos0xomega**

Out of curiousity, why aren't shining spears on the list?

**mcyeatman**

Scorpions!

As close as one can get in DE society; they still have a Shrine, and Drazhar may be their Phoenix lord (Arhra, as even the old fluff and models made them seem like Striking Scorpions)

P.S. I also voted for Warp Spiders, i like them more than any others.

**Element206**

Fire Dragons. I think they compliment regular troops well, provide the punch that guardians are missing. My very close second was banshees though

**bloodaxegit**

You forgot Striking scorpions and shining spears

Just to add on to this, the organisation of the Incubi are very close to that of the aspect warriors, even in game terms. The Klaveix has access to powers similar to the ones the Exarches have and he also has the same stat increase as his Exarch counterpart. In addition the Incubi also possess similar equipment to the Striking Scorpions (namely the Mandiblaster in older editions, and the Klaives are similar to the Scorpion Chainsword). Drazhar is also prettymuch outright stated to be the Arhra the Fallen Phoenix.
