Although I like the overall simplicity in the new system, the fact that
Dire Avengers, Howling Banshees etc. are clumped together into Aspect
Warriors is a bit disappointing. So here are some (not yet playtested)
house rules for the "missing" Aspect Warriors.

First the ones I managed to put together without altering the basic Aspect
Warrior
profile (KISS...).

  Swooping Hawks Aspect Warrior +Jump Packs
        (As before, but separated from the Warp Spiders.)
  Dire Avengers Aspect Warrior +Rapid Fire
        (There's an special rule variant below.)
  Howling Banshees Aspect Warrior +Rampage
        (Rampage to represent the facts, that when they charge the enemy
        are dead meat, but when they are charged, die like guardians...)
  Striking Scorpions Aspect Warrior +Assault
        (Here we have the problem with what happens when we add a Exarch, but
        in my opinion 2xAssault = +2 Assault is ok.)
  Shining Spears Jetbike +Assault
        (See above.)

Well over to the inevitable special rules then. :)

  Fire Dragons 15cm 15cm anti-tank 4 4+
        (This is just like an faster and lighter version of the Wraithguards.)
  Warp Spiders 15cm 15cm disrupt 4 4+ +Jump Packs
        (Disrupt is to represent the fact that everyone seems to go into overwatch
        when there are Spiders around. :) But it would be nice if the could
        inflict some casualties too. Any suggestions?)
  Dire Avengers 15cm 15cm 2 4 4+
        (FP 2 to make them more compatible with the guardians.)

Costs

Aspect Warrior squad 10 points
        Upgrade to Swooping Hawks +4
        Upgrade to Dire Avengers mk.1 +1
        Upgrade to Dire Avengers mk.2 +3
        Upgrade to Howling Banshees +2
        Upgrade to Striking Scorpions +1
        Upgrade to Fire Dragons +5
        Upgrade to Warp Spiders +6
        Upgrade to Shining Spears (May not be mounted) +6

Well that's it, suggestions and opinions would be appreciated.
