Editing Autarch (section)

==Equipment==
Autarchs have gone from one of the most flexible HQ's in the game, being able to pick and choose from an equipment list covering pretty much the entire Aspect Wargear list, to one of the [[Fail | least]].

Since [[GW]] decided that equipment options could only include what was on the model and having retired most of the Autarch models, you can now pretty much only select from 3 preset options to go along with a 4++ forcefield and [[Plasma#Plasma Grenade|Plasma Grenades.]]

* Autarch with Swooping hawk wings, [[Mandiblaster]], [[Power sword|power sword]] and [[Fusion Pistol]] (Alright in a smaller game), but don't expect him to get much done in combat.
* Autarch Skyrunner on jetbike, the only one with even a semblance of choice, being able to switch out it's power sword for a [[Fusion Gun]], or the [[Laser Lance]] that everyone actually chooses. The laser lance can be great when taken in a Siam Hann list with the relic to upgrade it to the Novalance.
* Autarch with [[Power weapon#Star Glaive|Star Glaive]]... No shooting other than the 6" grenades. Doesn't even have an official model. Best guess is someone at GW forgot that [[Prince Yriel]] was a thing and assumed his model was an Autarch and gave it a datasheet, and then someone else also added in Yriel. Doesn't really matter though as there's no reason to take this version.

You can get some of the old flexibility back if you are able to use the [https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/84d4072d.pdf Warhammmer Legends PDF] which just expands the wargear options so you don't lose keywords or synergy, but it's usage is dependant on your opponent agreeing to it and won't be available for tournaments, per GW's suggestion.
