===Vanguard Space Marines=== Available only to {{W40kKeyword|Phobos characters}}, aka the tacticool Captain, Lieutenant and Librarian found in the Shadowspear box. Chaplains can suck it because yelling catechisms isn't stealthy. #'''Shoot and Fade:''' Immediately after doing a shooting attack (except Overwatch), this warlord can move. If he does, he also has to advance. #*Imperial stealthy Jump-Shoot-Jump baby! There are better things to do than to play with ONE model's positioning, but this trait does enable your buff characters to be at many places at once, repositioning at max speed: be near one unit, those guys shoot, your captain shoots, then he dashes over to buff another unit's shooting. Can also enable him to get back behind his troops/break LoS and avoid retaliation. By the 2019 Spring FAQ you can also use this in conjunction with the Auspex Scan strategem, potentially allowing your warlord to move 3 times during a round, or bait your enemy deep striking his forces near your warlord, and scurry away without fear of getting charged. Note that this only triggers on the Librarian or Lieutenant, the Phobos Master can never use the auspex scan stratagem due to his omni-scrambler. #'''Princeps of deceit:''' At the start of the first round but before the first turn begins, you can remove and redeploy up to 3 {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|phobos}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} units present on the battlefield. Results depend on the mental games you can play on your enemy - it's not going to be a surprise to your opponent, but being able to make corrections after your enemy's cemented his choice instead of being part of the simultaneous deployment process can be an amazing benefit, and one that Eldar pay 2CP for. #*It happens after the Seize the initiative rolls, so it is perfect to be prepared to either getting or losing the first turn because of a lucky 6. #'''Master of the Vanguard:''' Friendly {{W40kKeyword|chapter}} units within 6" of the warlord gain +1" to both their move, advance AND ''charge'' rolls. #*Again, this works on non-{{W40kKeyword|Phobos}} units, though Master of Maneuver works better if you just want a better charge success rate. #'''Stealth Adept:''' -1 from hit rolls that target the warlord. Not just at range so he can prove he's the better sniper around, but it also works in melee; useful since the warlord lacks an invuln save. #*Combine with Shroud of Heroes for -2 to hit. #'''Target Priority''': The Warlord can skip shooting in the shooting phase to select a friendly Dark Angels PHOBOS unit within 3" and a visible enemy. The selected friendly unit gets +1 to hit against the enemy in question until the end of the phase. #'''Marksman Honours:''' +1D to ''all'' of the warlord's guns, and he can reroll all failed hit and wound rolls for ranged attacks. Explicitly does not apply to relics nor grenades.
