New Ship (Eldar Nova)

Nova Class Light Cruiser (150 points)

The Nova class is a frightening new encounter among Eldar fleets. Originally mistaken for the Aurora class (indeed, it may simply be a modification of the same hull), the Nova is a fleet support ship which fights at an unusually long range for an Eldar vessel, one matched only by the Void Stalker battleship. Its fearsome lances outrange Imperial weapons short of a Battlecruiser, although its torpedo armament is good for little more than harassment.

New Ship (Necron Exodus)

Exodus Class Harvest Ship (280 points)

Seemingly a variant of the Scythe Class ship, these newly encountered Harvest Ships sacrifice range and versatility for increased close-range assault power. Imperial forces have so far only had four or five encounters with an Exodus, but this distinctive vessel has certainly left an impression on its victims. Charging into point-blank range and unloading a particle whip array rivalling that of a battleship, the Exodus then disgorges cadres of warriors in numbers closer to those of a Tomb Ship than a cruiser. Most Exodus attacks are launched at single cruisers or small escort squadrons, situations where the lack of a mass-firing lightning arc is compensated for by the precision of the particle whip.

Notes

The Exodus class gains a +1 Leadership bonus when attempting the All Ahead Full special order.
 
Due to the intense power consumed by the oversized portal matrix, the Exodus is slower to regenerate from damage, so must re-roll any successful damage control repair results.
