The '''Shadow Spectres''' are members of a recently-rediscovered [[Eldar]] [[Aspect Warrior|Warrior Aspect]]. This shrine specializes in the deployment of stealthy, highly-mobile heavy firepower.{{Fn|1}}
== Overview ==
{{Aspects
|Model Image=Shadow Spectre.jpg
}}
Shadow Spectres are armed with [[Prism Rifle]]s, which pack the devastating long-range punch of the [[Prism Cannon]] into a man-portable package. They are garbed to appear as ghosts or wraiths, taking to the battlefield with jetpacks, [[holo-field]]s, and pallid [[Aspect Armour]] draped in thin, flowing, blue robes. {{Fn|1}}
==Ghostlight==
The Shadow Spectres make use of a unique, complex targeting matrix known as the '''Ghostlight'''. This matrix further amplifies the effective range and power of the warriors' already-formidable weaponry.
When used, the Ghostlight will allow a Spectre squad to combine the beams of their [[Prism Rifle]]s into a single, brilliant torrent of energy; the additional power allows the squad to fire a single incredibly long-ranged shot, allowing them to hit distant targets.{{Fn|1}}
===Exarch Wargear===
In addition to the wargear of the aspect, the Exarch can be armed with a number of special weapons:
* [[Prism Blaster]]:{{Fn|2}} A longer barrel further focuses and refines the prism beam, allowing for more powerful shots at greater range than the prism rifle.{{Fn|2}}* [[Haywire Launcher]]{{Fn|2}} : A heavy, launcher-style weapon that fires rockets similar to [[Haywire Grenades]], dealing significant electronics and systems damage to vehicles.{{Fn|2}}* [[Exarch Armour]]{{Fn|2}}
===Exarch Powers===
The [[Exarch ]] may study the secrets of the shrine to allow himself and any of his Aspect warriors to go beyond the normal Aspect training. * '''Cynosure''': The Exarch is skilled in calibrating the Ghostlight, allowing the squad to fire more accurately when the matrix is used.{{Fn|2}}* '''Withdraw''': Exarchs are skilled at judging the best opportunities for the squad to withdraw, regroup, and take up a new firing position.{{Fn|2}}
