The Phantom Titan is often overlooked but can make an excellent defensive unit that denies the enemy access to territory, especially when configured with twin Titan Pulsars. In addition, its Holofield generator mean it it has an excellent chance of surviving a battle.

Warp Spiders
Warp Spiders are extremely versatile assault orientated infantry capable of shredding formations of lower armoured troops before a shot is fired in return. A popular tactic is to emerge from Storm Serpent Webway gates and use their considerable assault range to hit unsupported or unprepared enemy targets.
Heavy Weapon Platform
Heavy Weapon platforms give Guardian formations some decent ranged firepower. They can be deployed in number to switch a Guardian formation from a largely assault orientated role, to a defensive objective guard.
Fire Dragons
Eldar Fire Dragons are excellent anti-vehicle specialists, and their Fusion Guns will melt all but the heaviest armour with ease. If an Exarch is added to an Aspect Warrior unit, it’s common to use a Fire Dragon to confer his extra attack.
Exarch
An Exarch can further increase the effectiveness of an Aspect Warrior unit. Depending on the Aspect they belong to, they are close combat or fire fight orientated. The latter are more popular, as they have more chance of surviving an engagement.
Shadowsword
The Shadowsword super heavy tank is designed for destroying War Engines; a role which it fulfills admirably. Its Titan class Volcano Cannon can vaporise smaller War Engines with one shot.
Gorgon
The Gorgon Siege Transporter is a large vehicle capable of transporting at least 50 soldiers to the front line. It will shrug off fire from small arms fire, but is vulnerable to more powerful weapons.
Valkyrie
The Imperial Guard Valkyrie is a transport aircraft with excellent all-round ability. Its Multi Laser and Heavy Bolter provide anti-infantry and anti-tank capability, and Rocket Pods are one-shot weapons that cause considerable disruption to enemy lines.
Trojan
The Trojan Support Vehicle is an armoured tractor capable of towing heavy guns into position.
Sentinel
The Sentinel is a light scout walker that is useful for holding territory and slowing an oppenents advance. It is vulnerable to all types of fire, so should be kept in cover as much as possible.
