=====Special Unit=====
'''HQ'''
*'''Prince Yriel''': The cheapest Autarch variant you can take, Prince Yriel lacks the mobility options his generic cousins have access in exchange for one extra wound over his {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} kin. This isn't even mentioning the arsenal those generic Autarchs have access to if they run the Legends gear (when legal). The main selling point Yriel has would be his Spear of Twilight, a murderous melee weapon that deals d3 damage per swing and always wounds on a 2+. Just like your Warlock/Farseer witch blades, this applies to literally everything in the game, from the tiniest Grot to the largest Warlord Titan. Unlike those witch blades, the Spear of Twilight also has a modest AP-2 to carve through some armor as well, making it a legitimate threat to most standard units in the game. Unfortunately, that's about where the good news ends for Yriel. His only ranged option, The Eye of Wrath, is a 3" pistol that shoots d6 S6 AP-2 shots that can only be shot once per battle. Really more of a fancy finishing flourish against a character you don't much care for than an actual weapon. What's worse is that as a dedicated melee character, Yriel suffers from having to re-roll all saving rolls of a 6 from attacks made in the fight phase, making him defensively weaker in a fist fight than any other Autarch variant. If you do take him, make sure he has a reasonably fighty bodyguard unit or a transport to tuck him into when moving him across the field.
