Warhammer 40k - Unit Review Library 183 - Aeldari, Jain Zar

The Silent Storm!

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

Now known as the Unit Review Library!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.

I should have started when 10th edition launched!
511 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #183, I am 328 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

January 2025 we are expecting Astra Militarum and Aeldari codexes as explained Here, so time to focus on THOSE Datasheets!

Aeldari, Jain Zar

10th Edition Index

Jain Zar is the Phoenix Lord of the Howling Banshee Aspect Temple.

A Close combat specialist good enough to give Lelith a run for her money!

She is 90pts to field and can only he attached to Howling Banshees.

Let's check Her stats!

Stats

Movement 8"
Toughness 3
Save 2+/4++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 5
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

Ranged Weapons

The Silent Death

12" Range, 6 Shots, Hitting on 2+, S6, AP-2 and 1 Damage each.
Assault (This weapon can be shot even after the unit has Advanced)

Melee Weapons

The Blade of Destruction — sweep attack option

12 Attacks, Hitting on 2+. S4, AP-3 and 1 Damage each.

The Blade of Destruction — strike attack option

6 Attacks, Hitting on 2+. S6, AP-3 and 2 Damage each.

Abilities

Fights First - Universal Special Rule - This unit fights first in combat.

Storm of Silence

While leading a unit, models in that unit get +1 to Hit. (Makes Banshees hit on 2+)

Whirling Death

Once a turn, this unit can be targeted with the Heroic Intervention Strat for 0CP. They can use it even if you have already used the Strat.

Thoughts

Jain Zar is fairly on her own with her abilities and weapons. Making Banshees hit on 2+ makes her better.

Her free Heroic Intervention feels a bit situational to me though. You are not always going to see value in it but I am sure that as an opponent against her, you are going to forget and its going to happen and be annoying! Haha

That makes 22 Aeldar Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 33.33% Completed. The total Completed is 17.52% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
