The Wraithguard of the Craftworld Aeldari are not living warriors; they are artificial robotic constructs called Ghost Warriors created from the complex psycho-plastic material crafted by the Asuryani of the craftworlds known as wraithbone.
Each Wraithguard has a Spirit Stone containing the soul of an elite Aeldari warrior that was drawn out of the Infinity Circuit of a craftworld.
Wraithguard are smaller in size than Wraithlords, and carry a weapon known as a Wraithcannon which is a short-range, but potent weapon capable of opening a small rift into the Warp which sucks the target, or pieces of the target, within the Immaterium.
When used against infantrymen, the result is invariably fatal. Due to their wraithbone construction, Wraithguards can suffer damage that would cripple, or even kill, a living Aeldari warrior and still continue to fight, making them useful in situations that would be suicide for living soldiers.
Very nice, Dave! 🙂
Very nice, I never knew that about the Wraith guard…
Thanks John.
Very nice. Your colours on the heads (hats?) are really smooth; they look great.
Thanks Badger.
Very nice – always liked the look of the wraithguard.
Yep the Wraithguard and Wraithlords are my favourite part of the Eldar army. Thanks Wudu.
Those are great- my missus is very keen on those which are in her collection.
Cheers,
Pete.
Unfortunately the Gurvis only collects China Dolls (which each cost the price of a whole army). She has more display cabinets than I do.
