Added a citation from the 4th ed. codex, fixed a typo, added some more info.
The '''Wraithguard''' are [[Eldar]] warriors whose 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 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 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 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.
The [[Craftworld]] [[Iyanden]] features many of these 'Ghost warriors' due to a [[Tyranid]] [http://lex.124811.xyz/wiki/Kraken#The_Battle_for_Iyanden attack on their world] which ravaged Iyanden's population. In battle, the Wraithguard tower over their fellow [[Warlock]]s on the battlefield where they bring death through the reality shattering [[Wraithcannon]]. ==Related Articles==*[[Wraithlord]]*[[Wraithseer]]*[[Spiritseer]]
