but not below, like Space Marine Terminators. Exarchs are considered
command units and follow all the rules regarding them.

+AC+ Just one thing: these are _not_ Exarchs, but Phoenix Lords.
Exarchs are supposed boosting theri respective Aspect Warrior squads,
not joining together on the battlefield.

>>> Agreed - I like this change. Makes much more sense.

+AC+ Lower their armor save to 6+ fixed, they are not so tough.

+AC+ Give them a Shuriken Pistol, they have it!!! (25cm, 1, 5+, 0)

>>> True - no one will use it, but still, it reflects more on the fluff in
this way.

+AC+ Shuriken Pistol-armed like the Banshees (25cm, 1, 5+, 0)

+AC+ Why the 6+ save? He's still a Guardian

>>> Give him caemoline, that would explain it and is justified - I see
forward observers as being more like scouts than guardians.

+AC+ These should fit more a support role than an assault role. I
suggest lowering the CAF to +1, add a 6+ save and another weapon:
Twin-linked Shuriken Catapult (15cm, 1, 5+, 0). The Shuriken Cannon
should have a 0 TSM.

>>> Sounds good to me

+AC+ Same as other jetbikes: 0 TSM. Give them an ability named "Laser
Lance" working the same as Howling Banshees to represent their
devastating charge.

>>> Give them a free shot as they charge hitting 5+ with no save mod to
represent there devestating charge, then the survivors can fight a round of
close combat.
