==Swooping Hawks==

[[File:Swoopinghawk vs scourge.jpg|200px|right|thumb|An Eldar Swooping Hawk going against a Dark Eldar Scourge. Who's the swoopiest of them all?]]

In Eldar mythology, hawks point out those marked by guilt so that everyone will know their crimes and judge them accordingly. Fucking snitches...

Of all the Aspect Shrines the Swooping Hawks are among the most mobile, thanks to their <s>Winged Hussar</s> Swooping Hawk Wings, which allow them to lift off into the air at a moment's notice and fly across the battlefield.

The speed and agility this gives the Swooping Hawks more than makes up for the fact that their [[Aspect Armour]], compared to that worn by other Shrines, is thinner and offers less protection. The armor is typically colored like the sky, such as a pale blue or grey, with contrasting colors as well, especially on the wings. They are armed with the [[Lasblaster]] and the [[Swooping Hawk Grenade Pack]], while the Exarch will arm themselves with a [[Power Weapon]] for close quarters combat, or replace his lasblaster for a <s>[[Sunrifle]]</s> or a [[Hawk's Talon]] for some extra strength and AP.

The Phoenix Lord of the Swooping Hawks is [[Baharroth]], who was said to have been Asurmen's finest pupil, <s>which is [[derp]] since on the tabletop he's probably the most mediocre of all the Phoenix Lords.</s> HAHAHA NOPE, HE'S ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE CHOICES RIGHT NOW IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING CODEX.

Once used only for [[Eldar Grenade Launchers#Swooping Hawk Grenade Pack|yo-yo grenade bombing,]] Hawks are now the kings of speed. With the new codex update, they can hop off the board and come back in as if they were deep striking, every single movement phase. Certainly helps when their Eldar flashlights became surprisingly terrifying through the sheer number of shots they deliver, which auto-wound on 6s to hit now.

They are noted to be transported by a special Eldar craft called a Shooting Star which ferry Swooping Hawk Aspect Warriors onto a planetary battlefield. They briefly enter a planet's atmosphere where they remain undetected due to a complex cloaking system that masks them from enemy scans. Once in the atmosphere, their cargo hold of Swooping Hawks free fall to the surface, before the Shooting Stars return to their Craftworld.

They represent Khaine in his aspect as a precise predator.
