There are still 3 elite slots for Banshees/Scorpions/Fire Dragons, 3 FA slots for the Warp Spiders, Swooping Hawks, and Shining Spears, as well as 3 heavy slots for dark reapers. Lack of ability to take aspect warriors shouldn't be a complaint.

I must have explained it wrong :/

I want to try out the Eldcurion and I really had wanted to run a full on aspect warriors list at Alamo for the fun of it. Turns out I can't do that as I only get 1 or the other. That is a bit disappointing because the list I built is already really mediocre,and now I am finding out I can't even really play it without butchering it. Yes, I could play basically the same list as a CAD and give up all the special rules, but that kind of ruins part of it for me.(meh I like special rules)

Honestly, even with all these bonuses none of them are a competitive unit. They are just somewhat more viable and can hold their a bit better, and it gives players that have shelved said units a reason to use them again if only to try out all their cool new toys they got. Cool, Fluffy, and interesting rules that in no way break the game added onto units that needed it. THAT is fun.

Having a tournament format that allows you to take 60 scatlaserbikes, but not a bunch of slightly buffed mediocre aspect warriors... THAT is not fun.
