Shadow Sect of Karandras
The Shadow Sect of Karandras is a military formation made by the Eldar race and is named after the Phoenix Lord Karandras. As was the case with all the legendary and near mythical Phoenix Lords, Karandras, like his kin, is often accompanied by a select group of warriors who are the best students of their aspect.
When Karandras selects his warriors, he does so to form a group known as the Shadow Sect, who do not perform the subtle assassination of a single enemy but rather the butchery of the entire enemy force. The tactics that these Eldar perform include stalking the enemy in order to find the perfect time to attack. As such, its members are often seen prowling the jungles or cities without leaving any indication of their presence. The only time they are sighted is when the unspoken command is given to attack, whereupon the Shadow Sect slaughters their enemy to the last man. Leading them is Karandras who takes the group into the must brutal of fighting where he vents his cold and methodical fury upon those that stand in his path.
Before the enemy can mount any form of defence against their attack, the Shadow Sect disappear into the shadows where they wait until the battle begins again.[1]
