Editing Eyes of the Emperor (section)

==Expeditionary Fleets (Battlefleet Gothic)==

'''''Echo''-class Strike Cruiser (190 points)

The Eyes of the Emperor had little taste for fighting their enemies eye-to-eye and toe-to-toe.  Their preference was to strike precisely from a distance, emulating their great founder's marksmanship.  This posed certain difficulties for the Legion in space combat.  The shipyards of Mars mainly turned out vessels suitable for a close-in fight, prizing heavy armour and great batteries of relatively inaccurate weapons.  It would only be late in the Great Crusade that the Adeptus Mechanicum began to manufacture a light cruiser specifically suited to the doctrine of the Nineteenth Legion, but the ''Echo'' was fielded in surprisingly large numbers by the time of the Hektor Heresy.

|style="background-color:lightgrey;"|'''''Notes:''' The Echo class was a technological marvel.  Its advanced engine design gives it +1D6 movement on ''All Ahead Full'' orders.  In addition, enemy vessels further than 15cm away must make a Leadership check to target an Echo class.
