An Eldar Wraithlord

Wraithlords (also known as Iron Knights, Wraith-Giants and Eldar Dreadnoughts)^{[Needs Citation]}are giant constructs made of wraithbone and inhabited by the souls of dead Eldar heroes. Towering far above their still living Eldar brethren, the Wraithlord is a force to be reckoned with. Only the most capable warriors of the Craftworld are encased inside it. They can be armed with a myriad of weapons, including close combat, short ranged and long ranged weaponry with the ability to smash most enemies in combat.

The creation of a Wraithlord involves empowering an Eldar Spirit Stone with the proper soul from an Eldar Infinity Circuit (usually the soul of an exarch). The soul is then placed into the forehead of a Wraithlord chassis.^{[Needs Citation]}There is no way to extract a soul from a wraithlord, so the process is permanent.^{[Needs Citation]}If a Wraithlord falls in combat then its soul is lost forever.^{[Needs Citation]} The effect of the 'wraith life' on the warriors oftn means that they suffer from Wraith Sight, meaning that they are often out of time with the world around them. This can be combatted by a Warlock trained to be a Spiritseer.

Standard Wraithlord equipment is two power fists, with flamers or shuriken cannon attached to the side. In addition, some Wraithlords are equipped with heavy armaments such as scatter lasers, missile launchers, bright lances and starcannon.
