Detachment Rule
Martial Grace
Every element of a Warhost operates with speed and efficiency, units swirling around one another in an agile storm of blades and tightly controlled ferocity. The Aeldari know precisely where they must be at any given stage of the battle plan and move with inhuman elegance that leaves their enemies reeling in their wake.
