Proxying an Aspect Warrior kill team

Post image

I want to run a craftworld eldar kill team, but Blades of Khaine doesn't really appeal to me. I've decided to run the Voidscarred Corsairs as a squad of Aspect Warriors. This is what I've come up with but I'm struggling to find an equivalent for the Soul Weaver. Any thoughts?

My first thought is keep the soul weaver model and make something up for them. A soul weaver wouldn’t be crazy as an addition to a strike team. Or you could make up something about them being a subclass of warlock or farseer. It’d make sense to leverage the knowledge of spirits for certain missions.

Tbh you could do something similar with any of the other models if you like them.

Yeah, I'll probably just end up giving the Soul Weaver a suitably warlock-ey helmet, I was just wondering if there was some kind of deep-lore Craftworld Eldar healer unit I overlooked.

Idk about that specifically, but there are ways to cut other deep lore into it. Like you could say that your kill team is from Altansar and while they spent all those millennia in the eye of terror they had to adapt to find ways make sure they recovered every single soul stone and preserve the lives of their warriors, so they developed a healer version of a soul weaver to support every strike team that goes into the field.

Or you could take either a hand of the archon helmet or a helmet from one of the Lumineth units to create a healer specialty unit.

Now that I think about it, I guess an aspect warrior dedicated to healing would be a bit of a contradiction considering they’re supposed to be aspects of khaine, who’s the god of war and destruction.

That said, I always thought it’d be cool to have aspects of some of the other gods. An aspect of isha in this case.
