Support Weapon Battery
| Points/Model | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guardian | 20 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 8 | 5+ |
Battery: Each unit consists of 1-3 support weapons.
Weapons: All of the support weapons must be armed with the same type of weapon from the following list: D-cannon at +30 pts per model; Vibro-cannon at +40 pts per model; Shadow Weaver at +25 pts per model.
Errata — Chapter Approved: Codex: Eldar Q&A (v2.0): The "Points/Model" figure above (eg 20 for a Guardian) is per gun-and-crew — the weapon's own cost is then added on top of that per-gun-and-crew figure, not per individual Guardian. So a D-cannon costs 20 (one gun's worth of crew) + 30 (the weapon) = 50 points total, not 70.
Crew: Two Guardians armed with shuriken catapults or shuriken pistol and close combat weapon.
Special Rules
Weapons Platform: The support weapon has two Guardians as crew. One crewman is required to fire the support weapon, the other is free to fire his own weapon. If one crewman is killed the platform operates as normal, if both crew are killed the platform is useless (the platform itself can't be hit).
Unlike other anti-grav platforms, the special nature of a support weapon means that it must be absolutely still when it is fired and so it may not fire if it was moved in the movement phase.
Errata — Chapter Approved: Codex: Eldar Q&A (v2.0): Line of sight for a support/heavy weapon platform must be drawn from both a crewman and the weapon itself, while range is measured only from the weapon. The exceptions are the D-Cannon and Shadow Weaver, which don't require line of sight at all.
Character: The unit may be joined by a Warlock from the Farseer's retinue. See the entry in the HQ section of the army list.
