Special Characters
Phoenix Lords
An Eldar army may include one or more Phoenix Lords. Each Phoenix Lord counts as one of the HQ choices for the army. They must be used exactly as described below, and may not be given any additional equipment. Furthermore, Phoenix Lords may only be used in a battle where both players have agreed to the use of special characters.

Special Rules
Independent Character: A Phoenix Lord is an independent character and therefore follows the Independent Character special rules as given in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Fleet of Foot: Despite having a save of 3+, Phoenix Lords are an exception to the normal rule and may still benefit from the Fleet of Foot special rule as detailed on page 4 of this book.
Fearless: Phoenix Lords have travelled the galaxy for millennia and are utterly fearless. A Phoenix Lord will never fall back or be pinned – even by attacks that do not normally allow a Morale check to be taken. If the Phoenix Lord is leading a squad of their Aspect, then the whole squad becomes fearless.
