Appreciate you going over many of the Aspect Warriors and giving a general synopsis. I get the feeling you’ll do vehicles later, but, Aeldari models need love either way. Nice video
Just a little more detail on the Aspect Warriors. First a clarification. Although Slaanesh failed to consume Kaela Mensha Khaine, Slaanesh did SHATTER Khaine after a protracted duel (Props to Patrick for using the pronoun 'they' to refer to Slaanesh). The shards of Khaine's form settles into the core of each of the Aeldari craftworlds and that shard is what is awakened as the Avatar of Khaine. Each school of Aspect Warriors is inspired by a different aspect of Khaine (hence the name), which is why they each specialize in a particular way to murder someone. It should be noted that although many people treat Khaine as if he's the same as the chaos god Khorne, that's like saying a master assassin is the same as a raging barbarian berserker. Another note on the Aspect Warriors that you guys guessed close to when you were talking about the Wraithguard: to achieve the ultimate level of skill, aspect warriors enter a trance-like state in battle that suppresses their ego so that all that is left is their skill, so it truly is like they lose themselves completely in their role. This becomes literal in the case of the Phoenix Lords. Each Phoenix Lord is basically just a suit of armor with the spirit of the original Phoenix Lord bound to it. When a Phoenix Lord is killed, the armor disappears until it is found by another aeldari. Once they don the armor, their body becomes host to the spirit of the Phoenix Lord until they are killed and the process repeats itself. I also want to say that you guys timed this video right because the Aeldari range had just had it's first major update in nearly 20 years.
