Due to the gradual decline in the population of their race, the civilians of the Eldar are all too often forced to take up arms. Because of this dire circumstance, every Eldar is trained and ready to fight as a Guardian if need be. In some Craftworlds, the Guardians are the most common of all Eldar warriors. They are primarily a defensive force, employed when a Craftworld itself comes under threat, as the Aspect Warriors are often not numerous enough to overcome the hordes of the enemy without support. It is a testament to the skill and technology of the Eldar that even their civilians are capable of engaging an enemy army and emerging victorious.

You may include a unit of Guardians in your Eldar army as a Troops choice.

The weapons used by the Guardians vary depending on battlefield role. Guardian Defenders act as support units, manning anti-grav heavy weapon platforms that glide effortlessly over even rugged terrain. It is a testament to the skill and technology of the Eldar that even their civilians are capable of engaging an enemy army and emerging victorious.

If you choose to take a unit of Guardians, you must include an Eldar Heavy Weapon Platform and its crew as part of the unit.

Guardian Storm squads are formed from Eldar who were once warriors from one of the close combat Aspect Shrines such as the Striking Scorpions. Some Guardians carry a close-range weapon, such as a fusion gun, which enables them to fire a powerful and deadly blast of energy at any enemy that gets too close.

Any squad of Guardians may be upgraded to Storm Guardians, exchanging their shuriken catapults for shuriken pistols and close combat weapons.
