Probably a dumb question but I thought I’d ask. He’s in Phobos gear, but I think it says only a Phobos Captain or Lt specifically provide the aura buff at any range to them right?

From looking over the Infiltrator rules, yes you would, assuming he has the PHOBOS keyword.

I don't have the Raven Guard book, but I am pretty sure Shrike's re-roll aura is named "Chapter Master" instead of "Rites of Battle" so the infiltrator com array does not help.

The bear's unit is always considered to be within range of the following aura abilities of any friendly PHOBOS units that are on the battlefield: Rites of Battle; Tactical Precision.

Edit: Never mind they added rites of battle in the FAQ

Add the following ability:
‘Rites of Battle (Aura): While a friendly Raven Guard Core unit
is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes
an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.’

Okay awesome. So I can have him give a squad of Vanguard re-roll all hits while they’re with him, and then infiltrators chilling on objectives can get the re-roll 1’s anywhere?

That's a nice discovery. At only 5pts, the comms array might be an auto add for my RG infiltrators since I often take Shrike.
