Banshee Mask

Eldar Portal

A picture of an Eldar Banshee Mask.¹

A Banshee Mask is a sonic weapon of terror worn by the Howling Banshee Aspect Warriors.^[1]

The mask uses a special psychosonic amplifier, turning the Banshee's raging battle cry into a devastating psychic barrage. Enemies exposed to this psychic scream suffer momentary paralysis as their central nervous system is flooded with psychic energy, making them easy prey for the Banshees.^[1][2][3] Eldar Autarchs who have mastered the Howling Banshee war path still often utilise these masks when fighting in close quarters combat.^[Help] However, the noise can be drowned out and overpowered by even louder sounds, such as Astartes yelling at the top of their three lungs.^[5]
