[[ImageFile:Spiritwarriorpicwd101pg 53.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Spirit-Warrior]]Spirit-Warrior:Eldar Dreadnoughts first appeared in [[White Dwarf 100 (UK)]], May 1988, pg.2. They are presented alongside [[Imperium|Imperial]] and [[Orks|Ork]] [[Dreadnought]]s. It is mentioned that Eldar craftsmen operate these machines through a "mind-impulse link", allowing them to control the dreadnoughts as if they were their own bodies.{{Fn|9}}:Dreadnoughts were joined a month later in [[White Dwarf 101 (UK)]], June 1988, pg 2, by the '''Spirit-Warrior''', also known 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, and they can use Psychic Power if the transferred Eldar spirit is that of a [[Seer]].{{Fn|10}}
;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: ''An Eldar Dreadnough Dreadnought contains the spirit of a dead Eldar warrior''{{Fn|11}}, and its name was eventually changed to '''Wraithlord''' in [[Codex: Eldar (3rd Edition)]] (see pg 18).
