Warhost: The 11th-Edition Aeldari Generalist Detachment

Warhost leans directly into the Battle Focus army rule: you gain an extra Battle Focus token each battle round, and your Agile Manoeuvres get better — the 'Swift as the Wind' manoeuvre adds 1" to Move, and you add 1 to any Agile Manoeuvre that needs a D6 roll. It's the "more of the good stuff" detachment: no niche gimmick, just a deeper mobility economy that lets you out-position any opponent. That extra token every round is quietly one of the strongest generalist effects in the faction.

• Feigned Retreat (Movement) — an Asuryani unit that Falls Back can still shoot and charge this turn. The classic Aeldari escape-and-retaliate.
• Blitzing Firepower (Shooting) — a unit's ranged weapons gain Sustained Hits 1 inside 12". Your close-range damage spike.
• Fire and Fade (end of Shooting) — an Infantry unit makes a D6+1" move after shooting (it then can't charge or embark). Hit and vanish.
• Skyborne Sanctuary (end of Fight) — an unengaged unit near a friendly Transport can embark, pulling fragile units to safety.
• Webway Tunnel — remove an Infantry unit near a board edge into Strategic Reserves to redeploy.
• Lightning-Fast Reactions (defensive) — -1 to enemy Hit rolls against a unit.

• Timeless Strategist — gain a further Battle Focus token each round, stacking with the detachment rule for an enormous mobility economy.
• Phoenix Gem — the first time the bearer dies, on a 2+ it returns at full wounds. Resilience on a key character.
• Gift of Foresight — use the Command Re-roll stratagem for 0 CP once per round.
• Psychic Destroyer — +1 Damage to the bearer's ranged Psychic weapons.

• Autarch — the command backbone that feeds the Battle Focus token economy and buffs a core unit.
• Guardian Defenders / Storm Guardians — cheap Battleline that holds objectives and makes full use of the +1" Move manoeuvres.
• Aspect Warriors — specialist tools the all-comers list mixes and matches.
• Wave Serpent — a durable transport that pairs with Skyborne Sanctuary and Fire and Fade repositioning.
• Farseer — psychic support and the Psychic Destroyer carrier.

Choose it when you want a flexible, tournament-safe all-comers army that can field any Aeldari mix rather than committing to one archetype, and the best beginner pick for learning Battle Focus. It costs the full 3 DP, so it uses your whole 2,000-point budget and can't take a support detachment — the trade-off for its deep, token-rich flexibility.

Sample gameplan: bank the extra Battle Focus token each round and use Agile Manoeuvres (now +1" Move and +1 on D6 rolls) to control engagement ranges. Screen and hold objectives with Guardians, deliver Aspect Warriors in Wave Serpents, then Fire and Fade or Feigned Retreat to shoot and slip out of retaliation. Hold Blitzing Firepower for a key close-range volley and Skyborne Sanctuary to tuck a unit back into a transport after combat.
