<lurk mode off> I've always done well with a Warhost, pretty nasty
amounts of fire with all those Guardians and Falcons. Plus, my opponents
always tend to try for the Falcons. How many crew in a Falcon, 2 or 3
maybe?, compared to a squad of 5. I agree on increased use of Spirit
Hosts but I've always wondered how durable spiritstones are. Otherwise,
if the machine is pulverized by say a Titan weapon, the spirit is
released into the warp and damned, hunted down by Slaanesh and all.
Wouldn't all Eldar be kind of scared? I would be if I were risking
eternal damnation in every battle.
   Interesting bit about a rival to Slaanesh. I don't think I've ever
seen that before. You'd need a large critical mass of spirits though,
prolly more than one Infinity Circuit. Hmm...isn't the symbol of
Asuryan the phoenix? Rebirth from death...interesting... <lurk mode on>
