Editing Ethereal Guard (section)

== Tabletop ==

In 5th Edition, Ethereal Guards are bodyguards to Space Pope supreme himself, [[Aun'Va]]. Likewise, they were useless bodyguards for a useless HQ. Seriously, what can they do against an assaulting Terminator squad or Genestealer horde? ''Nothing''. Might as well bodyguard the space pope with a couple of Kroots who seem much more effective than these useless nincompoops.

In 6th edition, the bodyguards are still likewise meh but they're better than they used to be. 5+ saves combined with the Paradox's harder-you-hit-it-harder-it-is invulnerable save gives the whole unit a variable amount of protection. I mean, they ain't [[Adeptus Custodes]] material and are basically overglorified meatshields, so you use what you get.

Due to how pointless they are in comparison to Blueberries in [[Battlesuit|Battlesuits]], their rules haven't been seen since 6th Edition. Likewise, [[Derp|one must wonder what the Tau were thinking when a couple of near-shirtless fishfaces]] [[FAIL|that has a reputation for being as terribad as a]] [[Grot]], would even count as acceptable bodyguards in contrast to fishfaces in a protective and well armed mini-mecha.
