Hi

Guess Im to blame for this one, as Im the one who made the unit.

They are supposed to follow the same rules for teleportation as Grey Nights. If I remember correctly, they cant move or fire the turn they are teleported to the battlefield. If they show up within close combat - range of an enemy, they must fight in CC.

I have only used the unit once myself, how did it fare?

This means greater demons as knight classed units could not engage infantry in a building in close combat since knight classed units cannot enter buldings.

The long and short of it is that all armies have cheap underpriced/overpowered units. Look at the demon primarchs, you think they are really worth the same 300 points as regular greater demons, heck no, but they do. You can find examples like this in all armies. The wind host is just the Eldar's liitle piece of goodness.
