;Eldar Dreadnoughts
:Eldar Dreadnoughts first appeared in [[White Dwarf 100 (UK)]], may 1988, pg.2. They are presented alongside [[Imperium]] and [[Orks]] [[Dreadnought]]s and ; it is mentioned that ''Eldar craftsmen who operate these machines'' (''The Development Of The Dreadnought'', §4 pg 67) implying that they there is a pilot, who drives the machine trough "mind-impulse link", allowing him to control the dreadnought ''as if it were its own body''. (''Control Systems'', § 1 pg 68).

;Spirit-Warrior
:Dreadnoughts were joined a month later [[White Dwarf 101 (UK)]], june 1988, pg 2, by the '''Spirit-Warrior''', aka by its commercial name : ''Eldar War Robot''. Similar in design to Eldar Dreadnoughts, the main difference is that they are controlled by an [[Infinity Circuit]] rather than a pilot (''The Spirit-Warriors'', pg 52 § 1), and they can use Psychic Power if the transferred Eldar spirit is that of a [[Seer]] (''The Spirit-Warriors'', pg 52 § 3)
;Evolution toward the Wraithlord
:The '''Spirit-Warrior''' miniature-design and rules didn't make it in [[Codex: Eldar (2nd Edition)]]; however, the Eldar Dreadnought lore evolved (pg 77) : ''An Eldar Dreadnough contains the spirit of a dead Eldar warrior''), adopting the construct design of the Spirit-Warrior, and its name was eventually changed to '''Wraithlord''' in [[Codex: Eldar (3rd Edition)]] (see pg 18).
