The Nightshade Interceptor is an Eldar fighter aircraft and the vehicle of choice for the Crimson Hunter Aspect Warriors.
Overview
Representing the pinnacle of Eldar aeronautic ability, the Nightshade is a high-speed craft designed to destroy any enemy fighter, even the advanced models of the Dark Eldar. The Nightshade is most typically armed with two Bright Lances and a Pulse Laser.[1]
Exarchs
Nightshade Interceptors piloted by Crimson Hunter Exarchs sometimes swap out their Pulse Laser for twin Starcannons,[2] and add an additional dorsal fin for additional control at high speeds.[3]
Notable Nightshade Interceptors
- Starsorrow – piloted by Crimson Raptors Exarch Lethraen[3]
