A unit of Dark Elf Darkshards wielding repeater crossbows.
Repeater crossbows in Eltharin called Uraithen ("the Deathrain"), are light crossbows wielded by the light infantry of the Dark Elves. They have two modes of fire, a longer-ranged single shot and a shorter-ranged double shot. A smaller, single-handed variant exists known as the repeater handbow.
While repeater crossbows are the favoured weapons of Shades and Darkshards, the repeater handbow is the favoured weapon of Black Ark Corsairs. Some Dreadlords and Dark Elf Masters are known to also favour them.
