The Swooping Hawks are a highly air-mobile Eldar Aspect Warrior. They take their name from the wild hunting birds of the Eldar myths, who it was believed in ancient times would contain the spirit of a murdered Eldar and hover above their killers as a mark of guilt. The winged Aspect Warriors who take that hawk as their symbol, however, play a much more active role in their foe's destruction.3
The Swooping Hawks have the ability to launch high into the air at a moment's notice with their use of their armored wings. These are made from vibrating feather plates that incorporate small gravitic lifters, which makes them vibrate with such speed they turn into a blur of color.3
The ritual weapons of this Aspect are the Lasblaster (a far more efficient energy weapon than the clumsy Lasgun or the Imperium) and the Grenade Pack. Grenade Packs contain both anti-personnel grenades for fly-by attacks and haywire grenades for disabling enemy artillery.3
