Grombrindal introduces the Eldar release through their ancient knowledge, struggle for survival and impressive new miniatures. He also points readers towards the Night Goblins’ continuing presence and the start of a broader tactics series, while the Middle-earth battle promises a contest between two experienced developers. His joking frustration at the lack of Dwarfs links the varied contents with the magazine’s familiar narrative voice.

The Autarch applies experience of several warrior paths to commanding an entire host. Equipment borrowed from Aspect traditions allows the same entry to become a combat specialist, a mobile tank hunter or a fast threat to artillery, while strategic mastery helps the army’s reserves arrive. The feature presents the leader’s flexibility as a way to serve the wider battle plan rather than merely choosing the most elaborate combination of weapons.

Revised Exarch powers reinforce each Aspect’s speciality, with improved Dire Avengers taking the front-line shuriken role that civilian Guardians had too often filled. Bladestorm, defensive equipment and longer-ranged catapults provide different ways to configure the Avengers. Guardians instead become mobile support and objective holders, using their platform and accompanying Warlock to contribute without being treated as an expendable screen for the more valuable warriors.
