Swooping Hawks - Swooping Hawks Wargear: Aspect Armour - Like other Craftworld Aeldari Warrior Aspects, Swooping Hawks wear lightweight synthetic bodysuits, reinforced with plates of psycho-sensitive bioplastics that will instantly harden to resist impacts. These plates can morph their shape in accordance with the wearer's movements, meaning the armour does not encumber the wearer in the slightest, affording excellent protection without detracting from the Asuryani warrior's unparalleled mobility. The Swooping Hawks wear cunningly constructed wings made up of vibrating feather plates that incorporate small anti-gravitic emitters. When the Swooping Hawks take to the air, these wings vibrate with such speed they turn into a blur of colour. The Swooping Hawks' armour is often coloured blue or grey to reflect the background colour of the sky. Their wings are coloured in brilliant, vibrant shades which create dazzling polychromatic patterns when in flight. Because the Swooping Hawks have to be concerned about maintaining their maneuverability in flight, their Aspect Armour is lighter and thinner than that of other Aspect Warriors. This means they have less protection from weapon impacts or melee blows than their fellows, but their increased speed and maneuverability normally more than makes up for this lack. The reinforced breastplate of the Aspect Warrior's armour bears their Spirit Stone, a precious item for all Asuryani. This psycho-receptive gem is attuned to the individual so that at the moment of death, when the Aeldari's psychic consciousness or soul is released into the Immaterium, it is captured instead within the crystalline matrix of the stone. Otherwise it is believed by the Asuryani that the soul would be released into the Warp, where the Chaos God Slaanesh, "She Who Thirsts," awaits to consume it. Contrary to popular belief, the small domes and blisters on the Swooping Hawks Aspect Armour are not extra gems, but small compartments that contain the suit's technical systems. A tabard or various pennants are a common addition to the Swooping Hawks' Aspect Armour. Its runic inscriptions in the Aeldari Lexicon name the shrine for which the Aspect Warrior is fighting and identifies the particular craftworld to which the warrior owes his or her allegiance.Aspect Helmet - Each Warrior Aspect has its own distinctive helmet, and within each shrine the helmet may vary in form slightly, with correspondingly more elaborate versions for the shrine's Exarchs. For a standard Swooping Hawk, the helmet is distinctively tall and swept back, allowing for better aerodynamics. By custom, it is this helmet that marks the Aspect Warriors as the protectors and avengers of their craftworld. It bears the Swooping Hawks Aspect's Aeldari Lexicon rune traced upon its forehead.Swooping Hawk Wings - Swooping Hawk Wings are specialised Craftworld Aeldari Jump Packs used exclusively by the Swooping Hawk Aspect Warriors. Composed of vibrating feather plates, these wings combine an anti-gravitic lifting field emitter with jet propulsion motors to provide the Swooping Hawks with their impressive flight speed and maneuverability. In addition, the large wings allow the user to glide for long distances, and provides added lift for an increased flight ceiling, while the vibrating feathers emit a distinctive shrieking sound. Because they are often coloured in vibrant shades of colour, the wings also create an impressive multi-colour pattern for the warrior while in flight.Lasblaster - The primary ritual weapons of this Aspect Shrine are the Lasblaster, a far more efficient and powerful directed energy weapon than the clumsy lasgun of the Imperium's Astra Militarum.Cloudsweeper (Optional) - The Cloudsweeper is a variant Lasblaster that fires in three-round-bursts , unlike the traditional single-shot Lasblaster. It sacrifices a modicum of accuracy for this increased rate of fire. Those Swooping Hawks who use Cloudsweepers like to strike from high above their targets, placing themselves in minimal danger of actually being shot at. From time to time they may find their wings "clipped," so to speak, and they're forced into close combat.Swooping Hawks Grenade Pack - The Swooping Hawks Grenade Pack is used in conjunction with the Lasblaster. Grenade packs contain both standard Asuryani anti-personnel grenades, Plasma Grenades for fly-by attacks and Haywire Grenades for disabling enemy artillery.Haywire Grenades - Swooping Hawks make use of Haywire Grenades for disabling enemy vehicles. They send out a powerful, short-range electromagnetic pulse that shorts out electrical wiring and disrupts the energy systems of the target.Sunrifle - The Sunrifle is only wielded by Swooping Hawk Exarchs, and are directed energy weapons potent enough to slay whole squads with a burst of dazzling laser beams. They are similar to Lasblasters, but have a far higher rate of fire.Hawk's Talon - A Hawk's Talon is a much more powerful version of a standard Lasblaster with more stopping power per shot. They are only used by Swooping Hawk Exarchs.
