Shining Spears are the fastest and most specialized Aspect, striking at ridiculous speeds and withdrawing in a flash. Shining Spears can be distinguished from all of the other Eldar Warrior Aspects for they are the only Aspect Warriors to make use of anti-gravity [[Jetbike|Jetbikes.]] The Shining Spears carry the fight directly to the enemy, pouncing upon them without warning to deliver a killing blow. Until recently, nobody knew their Phoenix Lord, but he has since been named as [[Drastanta]]. He went missing after the fall of the first aspect temple, so you still can't use him on the tabletop.

While Shining Spear squads are relatively small, just three to five warriors, a number which sometimes includes an Exarch to lead them, their mastery of the Eldar Jetbike is so complete that each one can execute complex high-speed maneuvers with but a single gesture. In this way even a small unit of Shining Spears can turn the tide of battle, delivering a devastating charge against the enemy before wheeling around for another attack, much like [[Exodite]] [[Dragon Knights]].

The Shining Spears possess a bright and clear virtue that marks each one out as a warrior hero and a champion of the Eldar race. Eldar mythology is replete with examples of noble heroes at one with their steed and in the Shining Spears, the glories of legend are made manifest once more.

Exarchs wear more elaborate and ornate versions of [[Exarch Armour]] which incorporates the spirits of their past wearers, granting an Exarch not only wisdom and knowledge stretching across the millennia but a raw pool of potent psychic energy that can be used in combat.

Shining Spears ride Jetbikes into battle and wield Strength 6 [[Laser Lance]]s (laser guns designed to be wielded as a melee weapon in addition to shooting) to fuck up MEQs/TEQs and light vehicles alike, and the Exarch can take a [[Star Lance]] for a more powerful bump up to S8, or a sword that'll grant him an extra attack and the ability to reroll all hits and wounds. This is worse in terms of damage than lance options but is much better for sustained combat.

Shining Spears are particularly suited for hit and run attacks, with their high speed and the fact that most of the power from their melee weapons is gained when charging, rather than just being in combat. If you're unable to put down a unit within the first round of combat with them, be prepared to struggle.

They represent Khaine in his aspect as a light-speed blade.
