First model for Eldar army I used green stuff on. I must admit, my skills got a bit rusty. Anyway, here he is. Mighty Asurmen:
Sadly, Phoenix Lords aren't very popular in this edition (were they ever?). Looking at their profiles and point costs it's easy to understand why. Despite my 20+ years of experience with this game I were unable to make them usefull. All but Asurmen.
His main and most important skill is to give my Aspect Warriors 5++ save (4++ for Dire Avengers). Thanks to that all my Aspect units (and I use quite a lot of them) are a bit safer, expecially if I boost that save with Protect.
Other very important use for Asurmen is as a beatstick. He has 5 attacks with S5, AP-3 dealing D3 wounds. Each wound roll of 6+ makes the target suffer additional D3 mortal wounds. That's some serious damage in CC, expecially in Eldar standards. Of course I will not charge him through the board, but if anyone tries to kill my Reapers in CC, he has to deal with Asurmen as well. And that ain't that easy...
