Eldar aspect warriors are easily elite though... surely.
The Avatar and Exarches certainly should be. Are the phoenix lords being
brought back for the Eldar?

Hi!
I think there is a lot of confusion on "who" will be elite. Sure squat
get re-rolls but only against orks and which of there units DESERVE
elite status? I wouldn't give to any of their infantry, they are just
well trained grunts and guildmasters/hearthguard are HQ's so they don't
get it. As a matter of fact I cant think of any unit in the Squat army
that really should get it. As for chaos, company cards? Chaos marine you
mean? Why should they get it if most SM don't, sure their Termies would,
but that's it. Don't assume armies will get a lot of them or even one of
them. The standard, if any, should be SM terminators, if the unit is
that good then its elite. You'll find the list of possible elite units
shrinks big time. Also some armies, by fluff would have little to no
elites, its not their nature. Look at orks and IG, outside VERY few
special units (even if then) could be categorized as elites.
Elites are by their nature, rare. The only army I can come up with more
than one valid elite unit are SM (termies and veterans). I think
everyone is assuming HQ are elite and I'm against that all the way.
HQ/elite units are super-units, that simple. You are either one or the
other, not both. Once you institute that the choices for elites are few
and far between.

Well, Eldar Harlequins i believe came up. Not to mention alot
of Squats. Chaos has entire company cards with elites as well,
giving them an added edge on their already razor sharp blade :)
