The Shadow Spectres are a newer Aspect, thought lost until the armor of their Phoenix Lord, [[Irillyth]], was recovered from an Imperial world, as chronicled in [[Forge World]]'s [[Imperial Armour Volume Eleven: The Doom of Mymeara]] and is noted to be one of the most [[Derp]] of the Phoenix Lords.

They fly around on [[jetpack]]s and wear holo-fields, making them look kind of like ghosts, if ghosts also shot prismatic lasers of doom.

[[Prism Rifle|Their weaponry]] is fairly high-strength as infantry weapons go (especially for Fast Attack infantry), and they can combine their beams into a super-beam of death that gets more powerful as more of them join it (in fact, the technology is the same as the [[Fire Prism]]'s [[Prism Cannon|main cannon]]). Their Exarch on the other hand, mounts the [[Dick|even bigger and ''longer'']] [[Prism Blaster]]s.

The Shadow Spectres make use of a unique, complex targeting matrix known as the Ghostlight. This matrix further amplifies the effective range and power of the warriors' already-formidable weaponry.

When used, the Ghostlight will allow a Spectre squad to combine the beams of their [[Prism Rifle]]s into a single, brilliant torrent of energy; the additional power allows the squad to fire a single incredibly long-ranged shot, allowing them to hit distant targets.

Between their ghost-like appearance and name, and their tendency to become [[Wraithguard]] after they die, they represent Khaine's aspect as an eternal warrior, even after death.

Tl;dr, Shadow Spectres are essentially the Dark Reapers of vehicles.

Unfortunately, the 7th edition codex has enshrined Warp Spiders as the Eldar solution to Jetpack Infantry, which is clearly why Forge World invented these guys.

8th Edition gave these guys quite the overhaul. They've lost their Ghostlight abilities, but can fire their prism rifles multiple times in the Coherent mode as long as they keep landing their shots. They also shifted into the Elite category for some reason.

9E Once again revamped these guys, though not as dramatically as prior editions. Gone is their ability to shoot their Coherent mode again after each successful shot (maximum of 3 total), instead just dealing d3 damage. Though it still provides rather inconsistent damage output, it's considerably less swingy as a result. Additionally, their dispersed mode no longer auto-hits, but instead is now an 18" d6 shot blast weapon designed to clear away hordes and GEQ targets. They also remembered how to deep-strike like their Phoenix Lord.

Sadly Forgeworld is now removing their models, alongside their Phoenix Lord.
