I remember when the Avatar could take Exarch powers - try and get invisibility on it
Make quie a ncie a variant Succubus out the maskless Banshee - they are perfectly servicable models but I have quite a lot of Bashees.....
Asume two to three books - Vigilis was ok but with a very Meh ending, only certain (mainly marines) got anything and they got loads.
Shield of Baal was a much better campaign book imo (especially if they had bothered to put in rules for Sisters in it!)

I think the new banshees still look worse than the 3e era ones. Why does the exarch have some short helmet and crown thing? What happened to the super tall and distinctive banshee helmets?

Looks awesome, finally some alternative heads too!
I had honestly given up all hope of plastic aspect warriors, aspect warriors were the catalyst that got me into 40k for real.
It doesn't matter if they made aspect models the best models their rules still suck! Kinda view the whole range of aspects need to be primarisfied to be useful. +1 W/A and especially need +1 at a minimum as S3 sucks and defeats the point. that and or points reductions.

They really do. I'm going to reserve judgment for when I can see the 360 of, but from this angle the pose doesn't work for me.

I’d say that implies the opposite, really. It specifies ‘all factions’ separately to the psychically sensitive, which says to me some factions are remaining psychically insensitive.
I wonder whether it'll just be Howling Banshees or all aspects that will be getting these special traits.
Also, I wonder whether maybe just maybe it'd have been more efficient to fix banshees being awful by making them slightly more powerful than 2x S3 Ap-3 attacks rather than tying all their power to a crazy potent squad leader.
I do look forward to my chad banshee exarch styling on my succubus even harder than she already does.
Virgin Succubus pays 65 points for 3 attacks that hit on 3s S5 AP-3 D1
Chad Banshee Exarch pays 13pts for 2 attacks that hit on 3s S8 AP-3 D3.

The Tau have plenty of Psychic allies and subjects - I really hope that GW does not make a Psychic Tau super suit instead but the actual lore supports a array of possible psykers that could be used in the Empire.

True, the Tau do have auxiliaries and it would be great if GW would use the Psychic Awakening to expand upon them, and introduce Nicassar, Kroot Shamans, psychic Gue'Vesa, and those creepy worm things.
Knowing GW though, they will probably go for the big dumb psychic suit approach. Hopefully they'll stick a Nicassar in there, if that's to be the case.

These banshees are pretty meh. The pose is awkward, the hair looks unaturally chunky, and the exarch's crown helmet looks stupid. And overall the design looks somewhat dated. I wish they had used the 3rd edition (?) version as a base, that had many cool elements.

This is what I mean; I have no problem with psychic auxiliaries of any of those sort, but please, no psychic Tau.

But there are already psychic Tau?

Namely, that whole warp god of greater good thingy.
And before that, psyker tau daemonhost air caste wizard.
You can thank Phil Kelly for both of these abominations, BTW
one was a possesed individual.
The other was mostly due to Gue'vesa i heard.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
I am curious about how easily swappable the heads/faces are. AFAIK, there is no bit in any kit for a female craftworld eldar without a helmet (several female drukhari heads and obviously you've got the fantasy elf ranges to choose from) but I'm guessing it's only the front part of the face you swap out for the mask. The hair sculpt appears to be completely identical.
So unless there's a third face bit, your choices out of the kit will probably be Maskshee/Dudeshee and if you want to have a helmetless female howling banshee exarch you'll have to do some surgery on a drukhari bit.
Having done a bunch of Drukhari-to-Harlequin bit conversion, removing the face area without mangling it is not an easy task.
