These heavily armed infantry units pack almost as much of a punch as the signature Eldar tank. Fashioning the Fire Prism’s gargantuan cannon into the more portable Prism Rifle, these jet-pack equipped soldiers are masters at taking out enemy vehicles. Known to carefully conceal themselves and fire at vehicles from range, this is a unit that benefits from relentlessly pursuing the same target.
When Shadow Spectres continuously unleash their Prism Rifles on a single opponent, the damage they deal to them increases over time. While the Prism Rifle is highly deadly in most situations, this impressive weapon deals even more damage to enemy skimmer units.
General Notes[]
The only true anti vehicle-anti structure infantry unit of the Eldar, take a couple of seconds to actually start firing their beams when an enemy come in range and they take some time before their beams are doing decent damage. Their shields and health are also paper-thin even with a Doctrine to increase their shields; the low health and quite long delay between having an enemy come in range and their beams doing decent damage makes it highly not recommended for them to go against vehicles with good ranged anti-infantry weapons, despite them being an anti-vehicle unit. They are, however, a Skimmer unit (albeit a slow one) which gives the option of being a hit-and-run raider to buildings in small groups, but beware of enemy units catching up to them.
