The Howling Banshee is the swift and deadly shock-troop of the craftworlds, an all-female warrior aspect that embodies the Aeldari god of the dead and his handmaidens of destruction. Clad in flowing armour and crowned with a ghostly mane, they charge into battle screaming a war-cry so terrible it can stop an enemy's heart within their chest.
Their signature weapon is the Banshee mask, which amplifies their piercing shriek into a psychosonic scream that paralyses foes with primal dread, freezing them in place for the killing stroke. Into that moment of terror the Banshees leap with balletic grace, wielding power swords that carve through armour and flesh alike, striking down their prey before it can even raise a weapon in defence.
Among the many aspect warriors of the Aeldari, the Howling Banshees excel at close assault, sweeping across the battlefield to fall upon gun-lines and command squads. Fast, precise and utterly fearless, they are living wraiths of war, the mournful heralds of death made manifest upon the field of battle.
