The '''Howling Banshees''' are an aspect focused on [[close combat]] made up primarily of female [[Eldar]]. The Howling Banshees are equipped with a [[Shuriken Pistol|Shuriken Pistols]] and [[Power Weapon|Power Weapons]]. As the Power Weapon Weapons can cleave through all but the strongest armour, the Banshees are very effective against well armoured opponents. They also wear a [[Banshee Mask]] that strikes fear into their foes, allowing them to strike with an advantage. They can deliver a devastating first strike, but if they get stuck in combat,then as with most Eldar, attrition will work against them. '''Howling Banshees''' [[Exarch]]s sometimes carry weapons known as [[Executioner|Executioners]] which boosts her their strength. The [[Phoenix Lord]] of the Howling Banshees is [[Jain Zar]], the Storm of Silence.
