'''Wraiths''' are units from the [[Necron]] army list, and are serpentine like killers. They are, like their more common brother [[Flayed Ones]], armed with only their claws, although they are horribly sharp. They also have a tendency to phase in and out of existance. This gives them marked advantages.
 
  
Wraiths have the ability t o float, bringing death from far above. They move like ghosts and attack with a terrifying fluidity. They have wide, hunched shoulders that supports a leering skull face. Their arms are long and whip like with scalpel blades for fingertips.

Wraiths locked in combat with a Space Marine

Wraiths are serpentine killers of the Necrons. They also have a tendency to phase in and out of existence, which gives them a marked advantage over their prey.[1]

Overview

Wraiths have the ability to float, bringing death from above. They move like ghosts and attack with a terrifying fluidity. They have wide, hunched shoulders that support a leering skull of a face. Their arms are long and whip-like with scalpel blades for fingertips. Their ability to phase in and out of existence gives them a great defence against weapons, allowing them to disappear when a bolt or beam of energy comes their way, have it pass through the space they had occupied, and then phase back into reality to continue the killing. This ability, coupled with their ability to float, also helps them to overcome difficult terrain.[1]
