The Razorwing is a supersonic flyer employed by the Dark Eldar. It is of a similar design to the Nightwing fighter utilised by the Craftworld Eldar.

The Razorwing has an impressive weapons layout for a vehicle of it's size, typically being armed with twin-linked splinter rifles, two wing mounted dark lances and four missiles. Razorwing pilots are highly skilled at high-speed combat, generally having come from the ranks of the most elite Reaver Jetbike riders.

Missile Types

The Razorwing can be equiped with one of several types of missile, the known types include -

  • Monoscythe missiles - designed to release a wave of energy at head-hight upon impact, decapitating nearby foes
  • Necrotoxin missiles - Filled with deadly neuropoisons, it fires shards of toxic shrapnel when it detonates, killing and pinning the enemy
  • Shatterfield missiles - has two separate detonation chambers, the first one sucks away all warmth, turning the foe into ice-like statues. The second one sends out a powerful force that blows the brittle enemy to pieces.
