Baharroth - The Cry of the Wind!

Fund Raiser - Helping a friend with funding for a Wedding!

This post is part of the current Fund Raiser where a friend has given me an offer to buy a collection of Warhammer models, the money will go to putting down deposits for his wedding arrangements.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

  • Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
  • Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
  • Selling some of the collection to friends

The total needed is $580 (R10,000 ZAR).
Every bit counts!
The current progress is 21.25%!

Back to the review.

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!
534 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #193, I am 341 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, Baharroth

10th Edition Index

Baharroth, the Cry of the Wind is the Phoenix Lord of the Swooping Hawks Aspect Temple of Asuryani. Therefore his soul is in his armor. Should he die, an especially skilled and honoured Swooping Hawk Exarch will put on his armor and their souls will fuse.

This... Phoenix Lords do not die.

Like all Phoenix Lords, they are the most elite version of their Temples.

Baharroth costs 125pts to play and has no model on the webstore as I am certain that a new mini is coming out for him early next year. We have already see a new mini for Feugan, the Phoenix Lord of the Fire Dragons.

So my money is on a new Baharroth miniature!

Let's see what he does right now!

Let's see her stats!

Stats

Movement 14"
Toughness 3
Save 2+/4++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 5
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

Ranged Weapons

Fury of the Tempest

24" Range, 4 Shots, Hitting on 2+, S6, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.
Assault (This gun can be fired even after the unit Advances)
Lethal Hits (Rolls of a 6 to Hit automatically cause Wounds)

Melee Weapons

The Shining Blade

6 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-2 and 2 Damage each.
Sustained Hits 1 (Rolls of a 6 to hit generate an additional hit)

Abilities

Cry of the Wind

While Leading a unit, that unit get +1 to their To Hit rolls. Effectively the unit he leads hit on 2+. Super accurate.

Cloudstrider

In your shooting phase, after they shoot this model and his unit can move 6". If they do, they cannot declare a charge.

Thoughts

The Cloudstrider ability is going to sync up with the Swooping Hawk's Skyleap ability in making them nearly impossible to catch.

14" move with an Assault Weapon they can Advance move another 6" with a 24" range gun.

You don't want Swooping Hawks in close combat except for things like T'au and some Guard units.

But with Baharroth leading the unit, they can then move an additional 6" which may take them behind a piece of terrain and if the Aeldari player wants to disappear, at the end of his opponent's turn, Skyleap takes them off the board and then they come back in as Reserves the next turn.

Super fast! Burn them! (Overwatch)

That makes 29 Aeldari Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 40.27% Completed. The total Completed is 18.55% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
