For the record, bump in stats aren't because this phoenix lord is better then the others. Its because I think all phoenix lords should have this stat line. They should be better in combat then a lowly Archon and at least match an assassin.

Wargear. Phoenix armour, plasma grenades,

Remnants of glory
Slicing Orbs of Zandros. Ancient, battered silver orbs are inset into the phoenix lords amour. When battle calls these orbs, beckoned by Zandros's psykic stimuli, begin to orbit Zandros akin to a small moon. Zandros then orders the orbs to fly amongst the seething masses of interlopers and then they explode in a scintillating flash of blades which leaves enemies in bloody chunks.

Range18 Str 5 Ap -assault 2,blast, pinning, rending.
or Range Melee, Strength +1, Ap -, rending, Bladed rotation*

* Zandros inflicts an automatic hit on any enemy model in base contact with him, as well as making his normal attacks.

Warlord traint: Mark of the incomparable hunter

Special Rules:
Ancient doom, battle focus, Eternal warrior, Fearless, Fear, Fleet, Independent character, Psyker (mastery level 2), SoulFire.

SoulFire.Every phoenix lord's armour invariably contains the souls of thousands of powerful exarchs, each spirit coalesced into the greater spirit of the armour much akin to a miniature infinity circuit. This gives the phoenix lord a deep well of psykic power to draw upon with surrounds the Lords warp shadow in blazing soulfire which absorbs and reflects foul Magiks,

The phoenix lord has the Adamantium Will USR and for each successful deny the witch attempted rolled by the phoenix lord the psyker that attempted the power must take a blinding test, as well as any enemy daemons or psykers within 6 inches.

Can only choose powers on the telekinesis table.

Exarch Powers
Fast shot, Course of blades*

Grants a 4+ cover save to Exarch against any weapon blow strength 8, by way of the mystical orbs blocking the blow or obscuring the target.

The Aspect has been mentioned a few times and I think they deserve a phoenix lord. I imagine the aspect to use there psykic powers to levitate bladed spinning orbs to throw at the enemy of use in combat. I figured that 3 small blasts at AP - wont be OP, and his melee is decidedly worse then all the other lords, but the real difference is the level 2 psyker, of a fairly mediocre table, but its still a big difference. I think all phoenix lords should get SoulFire and Fear because of there towering psykic presence. Each eldar soul is a psyker, and a phoenix lord is made up of thousands of them.

Not entirely sure on the price though, maybe someone could help me out?

Which aspect is this supposed to be for?

Slicing Orbs of Zandros

The slicing orbs of Zandros is an aspect which has been spoken about in this and the last eldar codex, as well as in path of the warrior. But the way I see it every aspect would have a phoenix lord wouldn't they? Even if there aspect wasn't heavily represented itself.

I assume each has a phoenix lord... I'm not entirely sure, but the main ones that are on every craftworld are the ones in the codex. Those that are on a single craftworld are left out.

I'm impressed with your characters!

xD I'm being post stalked by an incredibly nice piece of bacon!!

@McNinja. I would think of course each aspect would have a phoenix lord, or at least someone a bit like it, otherwise who wold found the aspect itself?

Crazy Stevanesh? The angry Eldar hobo?

I command you to make rules for him, Let it be done!
