=== Baharroth === [[File:Spess Bird.jpg|230px|thumb|center|Did someone say laser tag?]] '''Baharroth, the Cry of the Wind''', was the founder of the [[Jump Pack|jump infantry]] Aspect: the [[Swooping Hawks]]. Noted by Asurmen as the best of all his students, and noted by everyone else as an evasive motherfucker. He reflects the [[Creed|tactical genius]] of his teacher more than the other Asurya—not that you'd know that from his performance on the table, but more on that later. Baharroth is the fastest Eldar to have ever lived, and is the most "youthful and vibrant" of the Phoenix Lords, and his appearance is seen as a good omen by the Eldar. He apparently specializes in [[Sanguinius|flying around, looking pretty, and inspiring people]]. No lore exists about his original death, so it's possible he's still in his first body, not having passed into his armor. If so, this would make him and his brother Maugan Ra (yep apparently the creepy kid and the happy kid are actually related) one of the oldest still-living beings in the galaxy, save [[Eldrad|one]] [[Asdrubael Vect|or]] [[Cegorach|two]] [[C'tan|others]]. '''On the Tabletop''' {| class=wikitable ! || Pts || M || WS || BS || S || T || W || A || Ld || Sv |- | '''Baharroth:''' || 110 || 14 || 2+ || 2+ || 4 || 4 || 6 || 4 || 9 || 2+ |} In-game, Baharroth is the cheapest of the Phoenix Lords, and... it's not hard to see why. His melee is a copy of Asurmen's weapon (S+1 AP-3 d1d3), but at -1A due to Baharroth's inferior statline, and instead of dealing additional mortal wounds, any unit he wounds suffers -1 to hit rolls until the end of the turn - meaning it's only useful on the charge, as it will expire before your opponent's turn starts. He has a completely standard Hawk's Talon like any Swooping Hawks Exarch can take, and can deep strike and skyleap the same way, although his grenade pack is upgraded - not only can he throw 3 of them, not just 1, but he deals mortal wounds on a 4+, not a 6+. Unlike most Phoenix Lords - including Asurmen - his buffs actually work on an entire unit of his associated Aspect Warriors, stacking with (and applying to) the Exarch: he supplies +1 Ld to all {{W40Kkeyword|aspect warrior}}s within 6", which will stack with the Exarch's +1, and he instead adds +2 to the Hawks (which also stack, giving them a net +3 with an Exarch), in addition to giving them re-rolling 1s to hit (which he does not have himself, ironically making Hawks near him under the effects of Enhance ''more'' accurate than he is in melee. Unfortunately, unless the player fielding him is bringing maxed out blobs of infantry under any craftworld not named Iyanden, leadership buffs are a very lackluster way to support your 5-10 elf units. He is surprisingly decent in melee however (unlike his aspect) and combined with his upgraded grenade pack, he can actually do not insignificant damage to enemy infantry squads ''if'' he can get the jump on them.
