Akin to the more commonly encountered [[Ravager]], the Reaper is a high speed attack gunship used by the [[Dark Eldar]]. Unlike its brother-craft however, its sleek, dart-like hull is built around a single powerful weapon — the [[Storm Vortex Projector]]. This cannon — like the smaller [[Haywire Blaster]] — unleashes a cascading pulse of electromagnetic energy but on a scale far more powerful than anything possible in a hand weapon. The vortex chamber at the heart of the Reaper is a cage for howling energies harvested from the spires of [[Commorragh]], which when unleashed creates a hurricane of lightning capable of crippling the heaviest enemy vehicles and burning out the nervous system of living creatures, roasting enemy soldiers alive from within. {{Fn|1}} For all its offensive power, the Reaper, like most other Dark Eldar warcraft relies on speed and manoeuvrability to survive on the battlefield, and disdains the brute attrition of armoured warfare as practiced by the [[Imperium]] or the [[Orks]] in favour of bloody ambush and predation. The Reaper, though a rare and costly device, is greatly loved by the [[Kabal]]s and [[Wych Cult]]s who field them, as the Storm Vortex can be used to easily disable fleeing refugee transports and shuttlecraft with the minimum of collateral damage — all the better for the Dark Eldar themselves to get at the delectable contents within.{{cite this}}
