Omen of Asuryan (Arcane Phoenix)

is a Regiment of Renown monster unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Warden and the Paunch.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
== Description ==
The Arcane Phoenix is a majestic and fearsome creature, with a wingspan typically as great as any of the mighty war-eagles of the High Elves. They are cloaked in blazing feathers that can turn the sharpest arrow, their true power bound to their nature as a creature of spirit and fire; the living embodiments of the destructive and purging Wind of Aqshy. Flames dance across their pinions to sear their prey whenever they attack, a long pair of feathered tails leaving a spray of blazing sparks and embers in their wake as they swoop across the battlefield. Wizards go to great lengths to bind Arcane Phoenixes to their will whenever they appear, both to command their considerable power as well as to keep their destructive wrath out of the hands of their enemies.

== Strategy ==
An Arcane Phoenix with improved melee stats/leadership and an aura that provides immunity to psychology. Questionable usefulness given that High Elves do not often struggle with Fear/Terror but if you are concerned about it can have niche applications. Aside from that, the boosted melee stats can be helpful, but are not likely worth the increased cost.
As a panic-buy unit however (which many Regiments of Renown are used for due to their instant recruitment), the Omen of Asuryan has an excellent role. It is a proficient lord/hero killer with its high melee stats and armor piercing damage. In your "panic stack," use this unit to run hitman against enemy single characters while the rest of your RoRs and Ogres look for good matchups in the enemy force.
