	*6th edition slapped them hard right off the bat with the new power weapons rules, the many nerfs to assault (not being able to run and charge was especially devastating), and a restriction that only allows them to bring swords. They got a lateral buff at best with the new book, which really didn't fix their old problems but improved their competition (buffing Scorpions a bit and introducing Wraithblades). The Exarchs did get quite a lot better, but they have been reduced to glorified sergeants.		*6th edition slapped them hard right off the bat with the new power weapons rules, the many nerfs to assault (not being able to run and charge was especially devastating), and a restriction that only allows them to bring swords.

	*The new 7th edition codex gave them a rather significant buff. They still didn't have plasma grenades, but could ignore cover when charging and could charge further. Also, their masks suppressed overwatch fire, which helps them out quite a bit, especially against shooty folks like [[Tau]], or units with multiple flamers.		*The new 7th edition codex gave them a rather significant buff.

Also, their masks suppressed overwatch fire, which helps them out quite a bit, especially against shooty folks like [[Tau]], or units with multiple flamers. Furthermore, the entire Eldar book and indeed the meta as a whole really wasn't lacking for AP3 killing capacity, thus further ensuring that the primary role of Banshees in 7th was that of shelf decoration— a cruel fate for one of the most iconic Eldar units.

	*8th edition changed them up by re-introducing the move stat which has finally allowed GW to do away with the million and one awkward rules that modified how fast a unit could move. The only [[Fail\|remaining mystery]] is why they ever removed the move stat in the first place. With a movement stat of eight, being able to charge after advancing, and getting three extra inches on their charge distance, Banshees can threaten anything within an average of twenty one and a half inches. Or more if you pick the Red and therefore fastest Craftworld. They also have outright immunity to Overwatch (suck it Tau!) and as long as the Exarch is in play, enemies have a -1 penalty to hit them in close combat. This means that most units will hit them on a 4+ at best, and when combined with stratagems and psychic powers dealing with Banshees in melee can become pretty hard, to say the least.		*8th edition changed them up by re-introducing the move stat which has finally allowed GW to do away with the million and one awkward rules that modified how fast a unit could move.

	Dire Avengers have [[Aspect Armour]], which gives them a 4+ save and 5+ invuln, and like other Aspect choices they are Leadership 8; these stats are adequate. They also have a rule that lets them shoot while performing actions. Although Dire Avengers can engage in melee if required, particularly if the Exarch has been upgraded to do so, this is not really their forte due to their low Strength, low Toughness, and low number of attacks. Therefore, you probably want to avoid melee in most situations. The real reason to take Dire Avengers is because of their Avenger Shuriken catapults. With an extra shot and extra AP, they become a decent threat to MEQs and GEQs alike.. Add in the squad's 3+ BS on top of all this, and you have a resilient, flexible, highly mobile squad that can deliver a volume of highly accurate firepower to wherever it is most needed.

	The main problem with Dire Avengers is where they sit on the the units chart. In 8th and prior editions, they were on the Troops list, where they formed the core of many eldar lists. But in 9th they were moved to the already crowded Elites list and made even more expensive per unit (although with an improvement in firepower).

			The story goes that Khaine once battled the [[Nightbringer]] and wounded him. The injury caused shards of the [[C'Tan]]'s being to migrate into the psyche of all of the races of the galaxy ([[derp\|except]] [[Orks]]), instilling the fear of death in all mortals. And according to the ancient tome known as [[Wikipedia:Death anxiety\|Wikipedia]], this urgent fear of death was what eventually precipitated the birth of the [[Chaos Gods]], CAUSING the very [[grimdark]] the 40k universe feeds on in the first place...[[FAIL\|WAY TO GO]], Khaine! In return, these shards pierced Khaine's body and he gained a new aspect as the Destroyer.

			The Phoenix Lord [[Maugan Ra]] founded this aspect. Which is a bit weird, because Ra himself handles... [[wat\|absolutely nothing like his aspect]]. He was said to be [[That Guy\|obsessed with death and stood apart from his fellow Phoenix Lords]] in that respect. Dark Reapers are something like a hybrid of Dire Avengers and Fire Dragons. They do their best work against [[MEQ]]s but can also put a decent amount of damage onto most vehicles. The Exarch can take a [[Tempest Launcher\|big missile launcher]] of the type only seen on support platforms or [[Wraithlord]]s, but with moar [[dakka]].

	On the tabletop, Dark Reapers are essentially a squad of plasma guns that don't melt your own dudes, with T3, good accuracy, and a 3+ save. This means that their [[Reaper Launcher]]s make them very good against MEQs and have the range and weight of fire to be dangerous to lighter but more numerous infantry and annoy heavier infantry, as well as 3+ save monstrous creatures. The Exarch can either use a Shuriken weapon (never do this) or a missile launcher that he can double tap and has all the same warheads as its Imperial counterpart (with the exception of the frag warhead being replaced by the better plasma warhead). There's a third option of a Tempest Launcher, which is kinda like a mortar - shorter range than your standard rocket launcher but it puts out more shots and doesn't require line of sight.
