Dark Eldar Portal

The Shadow Stalker Titan^[1] is a modified Phantom Titan used by the Dark Eldar.^[1]

Overview

Shadow Stalker (right) and Soul Stealer (left) join a Dark Eldar raid.^[1]

The Shadow Stalker is a dark and twisted necromantic version of the Eldar Phantom Titan, considered "undead" where other Eldar Titans are "alive". It is cloaked in a Shadow Field rather than a Holo-Field, a swirling miasma of energy. Its Wraithbone body is covered in myriad razor-sharp blades, both great and small, some still covered in the viscera of its victims.^[1]

The status of the Steersmen inside is unknown, nor is how the Dark Eldar pilot these constructs as Psykers are forbidden in Commorragh.^[2]

Weapons

Shadow Stalker Titans have a weapons battery in their fin-like wings, and are equipped with combinations including a Power Glaive, Dark Lances, and a unique weapon known as the Beam of Despair.^[1]

Soul Stealer

Crafted from a Warlock Titan rather than a regular Phantom Titan, the Soul Stealer Titan is a Psyker variant of the Shadow Stalker Titan.^[1]
