The '''Wraithguard''' are [[Eldar]] warriors whose spirits are saved from death itself and risen arise once more to wage war for their kin.
This is done so == Overview ==These warriors are saved through the guidance of a [[Seer ]] who removes the fallen warriors 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 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.{{Cite This}}
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 [[spiritseer|spiritseers]]s, 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.<sup>{{Fn|2</sup>}}
The [[Craftworld]] [[Iyanden]] features many of these 'Ghost warriors' due to a [[Tyranid]] [[Kraken#The_Battle_for_Iyanden|attack on their world]] which ravaged Iyanden's population. {{Cite This}} == Wargear ==In battle, the Wraithguard tower over their fellow [[Warlock]]s on the battlefield where they bring death through the reality shattering [[Wraithcannon]].{{Cite This}}
