A Wraithguard from craftworld Iyanden

The Wraithguard are Eldar warriors whose spirits are saved from death itself and arise once more to wage war for their kin.

Overview

These warriors are saved through the guidance of a Seer who removes the fallen warrior's Spirit Stone from the Infinity Circuit in order to place it into a psychoplastic body made of Wraithbone. Through the act, the robotic body is empowered with a living intellect that guides its artificial nature. This is done 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 abhorrent among their race, akin to necromancy, but none can deny the resulting warrior that emerges from the combination that adds to their arsenal against their enemies.^{[Needs Citation]}

However, the Wraithguard suffer from a phenomenon known as "Wraithsight" which alters their perception of the world from that of mortals, and causes them to react more slowly to changes on the battlefield. As a result, they are often led by spiritseers, Eldar psykers who specialize in guiding and summoning the souls of the dead. The Wraithguard are also fearless in battle due to the nature of their bodies and undead souls.^[2]

Craftworld Iyanden features many of these 'Ghost warriors' due to a Tyranid attack on their world which ravaged Iyanden's population.^{[Needs Citation]}
