Howling Banshees

The banshee is a harbinger of woe and death in Eldar mythology, whose cry is said to herald ill fate and can even wrench a soul from its spirit stone. It is fitting that the most feared of all the Aspect Warriors draw their inspiration from this unearthly creature.

Howling Banshees are swift and athletic troops who are most deadly in hand-to-hand fighting. Their Banshee masks contain psychosonic amplifiers that magnify their keening battle screams into mind-destroying shockwaves. This inflicts severe damage to the central nervous system of the Eldar's foe, inspiring a feeling of mortal terror and causing momentary paralysis. A full squad of Banshees activating their masks in unison can cripple an enemy unit before a single blow is struck.

The Exarch of the Banshees is deadly for she can weild a Mirrorblades or the dreaded Executioner. The Phoenix Lord of the Howling Banshees is Jain Zar, the Storm of Silence.
