They have better ranged damage than scouts or Cultists. Best in the early game for rushing enemy bases, grabbing listening posts, and skirmishing. A warlock can be added for additional gun fire, and if you decide to do the research, adds a few support abilities and adds ranged protection to the squad. Can also take a light grenade, as if you ever needed one of those.

	*Dark Reapers: Equivalent to Marines with Heavy Bolters, they are Heavy Infantry that can only fire while stationary. They are fantastic at chewing through Heavy Armor and even listening Post defences in high enough numbers. They can't compete with the range of Heavy Bolters, but will get the job done in the late early game to early mid game. Add an exarch to ~~enchance~~ squad damage.		*Dark Reapers: Equivalent to Marines with Heavy Bolters, they are Heavy Infantry that can only fire while stationary.

They can't compete with the range of Heavy Bolters, but will get the job done in the late early game to early mid game. Add an exarch to enhance squad damage.

	*Howling Banshees: The Sword Ladies themselves. They are heavy infantry melee units that can run fast, and the Exarch buffs squad health and damage. Fleet of foot makes them dang near impossible to stop from entering melee, especially in the later game when they get power swords and '''TRIPLE''' armor. Great at nearly every point in the game, as their war cry ability(requires Call of War research) allows them to demoralize enemy infantry in moments. Stack with Rangers for super morale damage!		*Howling Banshees: The Sword Ladies themselves. They are heavy infantry melee units that can run fast, and the Exarch buffs squad health and damage.

	*Warp Spiders:~~Ipsum Lorem~~		*Warp Spiders: Similar to Dark Reapers in that their amassed firepower is much like heavy bolters, but different in that they are much more useful against hordes, such as the Green Retards or Guardians. They have "Jump packs" that allow you to warp into a location without taking damage much like a Jet pack, only not because your opponent cannot shoot them until you warp in. Don't forget to buy the Upgrade that allows them to use Haywire grenades, lethal to buildings and vehicles. Did we mention that the Exarch buffs squad damage and health? They take a long time to build and then fully reinforce though, so be careful.

	*Rangers: Eldar Snipers. Infiltrators that can be used to get you line of sight on a landing zone for jump troops and your grav tanks, skirmish, and push early game. Their cloak ability makes them difficult to pin down, as well as their mobility. You cannot shoot while cloaked in this version of the game, but when they do shoot, they deal substantial damage to enemy morale. Great for pairing up with some Banshees, though they will easily crumple under directed fire.		*Rangers: Eldar Snipers.

	*Avatar of Khaine: ~~Ipsum Lorem~~		*Avatar of Khaine: Expensive in terms of the research required to reach it and the required troop cap(5), but well worth it, as it is the second most powerful Relic unit in the game. Adds to your maximum troop cap and vehicle cap, allows faster reproduction, has a fearless aura, and above all else HEALS WHILE IN COMBAT. Just be careful, as ammassed AT fire or swarms of infantry will counter it in a sloppy, but efficient way, so try to aim it at vehicles, buildings, and demon units.

	*Webway Assembly: Calls in Guardians and Bonesingers along with early research for your units. The most important of these is "Fleet of Foot", which grants absurd mobility to your forces.

	*Aspect Portal: Calls in all your main infantry, including Dark Reapers, Banshees, ~~Snipers~~(limit one), the Farseer, and later on you can get the Avatar of Khaine and Warp Spiders. Also has a research to make your Snipers Cloak. Remember that in this version of the game Cloak is toggleable and thus you cannot shoot or take points while hidden.		*Aspect Portal: Calls in all your main infantry, including Dark Reapers, Banshees, Rangers(limit one), the Farseer, and later on you can get the Avatar of Khaine and Warp Spiders.

	*Soul Shrine: Allows you to build upgrade, and is the way you get more units and research options. The best to do are generally the "Fortune", "Wraithbone Reinforcement" and "Targeting Optics" research, as they offer protection and better attack to your units. Later in the game, you can double this, and even do the research for the avatar of war.		*Soul Shrine: Allows you to build upgrade, and is the way you get more units and research options.
