The Nightshade-class Destroyer is a class of Eldar Corsair space vessel. It is your token [[torpedo]] Destroyer vessel, but with a bit higher on paper dps with standard weapons than what is normally seen in its comparisons. Not a major difference to herald as a triumph on its own, but notable nonetheless. Now when you top that off with the insane speeds of the Aeldari and the special faction ability that allows the torpedo hits to shut off command stances, and you probably have a contender for top torpedo destroyer.

The Nightshade is extremely fast and designed to deploy ordnance close to the enemy before retreating. When coupled with the highly destructive torpedoes used by the Eldar (including neutron or vortex warheads), the Nightshade is basically a weapon that can strike anywhere quickly and at will. Since you need to give this ship extra attention to make strafing runs with your torpedoes, the Hellebore has an upper hand in this department considering the additional firepower makes it more worth your time.

There is evidence that three Nightshades crippled the Chaos battleship Damnation's Fury after three successive torpedo runs despite the protection of a number of other ships and escort vessels.

It is armed with 2 [[Torpedo]] Launchers and 3 Light [[Heavy Starcannon|Starcannon Artillery.]]
