Shadow Spectres
Shadow Spectres are members of an Aspect Warrior shrine specializing in quick, stealthy, long-range firepower.
Shadow Spectres are armed with Prism Rifles, which pack the devastating long-range firepower of the Prism Cannon into a man-portable package. Additionally, they are equipped with jetpacks, holo-fields, and Aspect Armor.
The members of this Aspect Shrine were long-believed lost by Eldar seers. Garbed in bone-white armor and shimmering blue robes, the Shadow Spectres are a terrifying, ghostly presence that epitomize the inevitability of death.
Ghostlight
The Shadow Spectres make use of a unique, complex targeting matrix known as the Ghostlight. This matrix further amplifies the effective range and power of the warriors' already-formidable weaponry. When used, the Ghostlight will allow a Spectre squad to combine the beams of their prism rifles into a single, brilliant torrent of energy; the additional power allows the squad to fire a single incredibly long-ranged shot, allowing them to hit distant targets. Additionally, the destructive potential of the combined beam is somewhat greater than a normal shot.
Exarch
An Exarch is the leader of an Aspect Shrine. He is one that has traveled so far down the Path of the Warrior, that he can no longer turn from that path to follow another path. This gives them great skill and dedication.
Exarch Wargear
In addition to the wargear of the aspect, the Exarch can be armed with a number of special weapons:
Exarch Powers
The Exarch may study the secrets of the shrine to allow himself and any of his Aspect warriors to go beyond the normal Aspect training.
- Cynosure. The Exarch, skilled in the use of the Ghostlight, allows the squad to use the targeting matrix with greater accuracy than normal.
- Withdraw. Though fast and stealthy, the Shadow Spectres are quite fragile and unsuited to direct, close-quarters combat. Exarchs are skilled at judging the best opportunities for the squad to withdraw, regroup, and take up a new firing position.
Phoenix Lord
The Phoenix Lord of the Shadow Spectres is unknown.
