Dark Eldar do not use the super-heavy war machines favored
by other races, instead relying on their superior speed and
maneuverability to achieve victory. To this end, the pirates
of Commorragh field elite Ravager crews to locate and neutralize
enemy Titans and battle tanks ahead of the main assault.
These Titan-hunter packs employ a technique called 'Shadow
Dancing' to preserve themselves from the worst of incoming
fire. Using their immaculate reflexes the Ravager pilots
fly perilously close to the ground, skimming treetops — sometimes
even skirting between trees — and using the silhouettes
of enemy vehicles to mask their approach.
Once the pack has closed to weapons range with the target
Titan, the lead Ravager triggers its shadow beam. The resulting
etheric
lance probes the prey's defense shields with warp rift
energy, creating the smallest of breaches in the defenses.
This weakness is so minute that the Titan's crew remain
unaware of its existence and only the uncanny reflexes of
the Dark Eldar could hope to exploit it. Customizing their
targeting
systems and Dark Lance modulations, the Ravagers accelerate
towards the doomed Titan, unleashing pulses of lance energy
to cut the beleaguered behemoth apart, leaving its allies
ripe for enslavement. |
