'''Guardian Defenders''' are the basic Guardian force, organised into squads of ten to twenty members armed with [[Shuriken Catapult]]s and occasionally [[Plasma Grenade]]s. Each squad will also include a [[Grav Platform]] crewed by two of its Guardians and mounting a [[Bright Lance]], [[Eldar Missile Launcher]], [[Scatter Laser]], [[Shuriken Cannon]], or [[Star Cannon]].{{Fn|11}}. These squads can be transported by a [[Wave Serpent]] if they do not exceed its capacity, and will sometimes be joined by a [[Warlock]] to lend them their aid.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}

'''Storm Guardians''' are Eldar who were once members of an Aspect Shrine that specialised in close combat. Rarer than the more typical Guardian Defenders, they are also effective assault troops capable of assisting Aspect Warriors. Numbering ten to twenty members, they are armed with a potent combination of [[Shuriken Pistol]] and [[Close Combat Weapon]], as well as the options of [[Krak Grenade|Krak]] and [[Plasma Grenade]]s. Along with a [[Serpent's Scale Platform]] for support{{Fn|11}}, two of the Guardians in this squad can arm themselves with either [[Fusion Gun]]s or [[Flamer]]s. If small enough to fit within its transport bay these squads may ride into battle within a [[Wave Serpent]], and are sometimes accompanied by a [[Warlock]] to lend them their aid.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
