All races get a ”fearsome new unit” for multiplayer, with Autarch not trainable but summonable as a ‘global ability’. Relic also name campaign heroes.
Retribution features an Eldar singleplayer campaign and to accompany that will be heroes of their race, and Relic has been kind enough to gossip about them behind their backs. They are Kayleth, Ronahn, Veldoran and Elenwe. They’re detailed on the blog.
Meanwhile Autarch has even had his abilities dished out:
Unit: Autarch
Availability: Tier 2
Abilities:
Fleet of Foot – Greatly increases the unit’s speed but reduces the Autarch’s damage output for the duration of the ability.
Leap – Soar through the air and land at the targeted location. Upon landing the Autarch increases the speed, damage, health and of nearby infantry units.
Skyleap – The Autarch jumps high into the atmosphere, returning to the global ability bar to be called in for a reduced cost.
