Wraithguard
From Lexicanum
|
The Wraithguard were Eldar warriors who's spirits are saved from death itself and risen once more to wage war for their kin.
This is done so through the guidance of a Seer who removes the fallen warriors Spirit Stone from the Infinity Circuit in order to place it into a pscyhoplastic body made of Wraithbone. Through the act, the robotic body is empowered with a living intellect that guides its artificial nature.
This is done so only in the times of emergency or when there is a lack of warriors. This is because the act of placing an Eldar essence into such a construct is considered abhorent among their race but none can deny the resulting warrior that emerges from the combination that adds to their arsenal against their enemies.
The Craftworld Iyanden features many of these 'Ghost warriors' due to a Tyranid attack on their world. In battle, the Wraithguard tower over their fellow Warlocks on the battlefield where they bring death through the reality shattering Wraithcannon.
