Akaiken, Dire Avengers Captain

40K3 conversion by Tom and Erik Setzer; Based on 40K2 background and rules by Mike Freeman

The second of my installment of Aspect Warrior captains, Akaiken is inspired by the Dire Avenger Exarch model, a very inspiring figure at the very least.

There are hundreds of different types of Aspect Warriors throughout the Craftworlds that litter the galaxy. From the very few, to the many, from the bizarre, to the deadly. One Aspect of Khaela Mensha Khaine is reknowned and feared throught the cosmos. These are the Dire Avengers, most common of the deadly aspects of Khaine. With shuriken weapons and advanced tactical manuevers, these are some of the most deadly troops of the Eldar Warhost. One of the premiere Dire Avengers is Akaiken, which translated to English means "Woe of the Enemy". Akaiken is a very great field commander, able to take charge of a region of the battlefield, leading strike forces to take important positions. He is a very inspiring individual indeed.

Wargear

The Grimblade
The Grimblade is a uniquely crafted power sword carried by all times. It's unique appearance and complicated carvings are a inspirational sight on the battlefield and seem to allow Anaikan to lead troops to great lengths. In addition to being a normal power sword, any squad that Akaiken leads may re-roll for any leadership test that they fail.
