Howling Banshees' Acrobatic is really kinda useless....I was thinking, to buff them up a bit you could have this:

Acrobatic: A unit firing at a model with this special rule receives -1 to their Ballistic Skill in that instance only.

I know the argument is "just cuz you're acrobatic doesn't mean you can dodge a bullet going at 100mph" but it's the idea that the banshees are agile and with the Eldar elegance it can be hard trying to hit something going so swiftly.

But to compensate I would increase their cost by 1 point.

Edit: Hum, triskele into template weapon? :O It's a boomerang. How about this:

Triskele: Template S3 AP3 Assault 1 Boomerang
Boomerang: A weapon with this special rule only cause hits by the outside edge of the template. Wounds caused by this weapon are allocated from the right side of the template to the left.

Why you say acrobatic is useless???

I quite like it

Well it doesn't help them that much..Would've been better on something that frequently uses battle focus but banshees really just run into combat they can't even shoot their pistols anymore

Is there any other feedback on this suggestion? Do you like the boomerang idea?

I like boomerang idea... But acrobatic is actually quite nice. They can still shoot pistols, I don't know why you say they can't, run extra far, and assult.

What's bad about that?

Sorry I meant you can't move, shoot, run, then assault (since battle focus), normally you can't move run and assault but with battle focus you should be able to move run shoot assault
