Moving to Wraith Construct, to avoid conflict over name and clarify original intention of ghost-warrior
{{EldarPortal}}{{otheruses|USE=Category of Eldar Troop|OTHERUSE=Adeptus Mechanicus Infantry|OTHERPAGE=Ghost-Warrior}}[[Image:Wraithguard-Iyanden.jpg|thumb|right|220px|An Eldar Wraithguard]]'''Wraith-Constructs''' or '''Ghost Warriors''' are mechanical [[Wraithbone]] constructs created by the [[Eldar]] race, empowered by souls contained within [[Spirit Stones]] drawn from from an [[Infinity Circuit]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} [[Craftworld]] [[Iyanden]] specializes in the creation and use of Wraith-constructs.{{Fn|5}} ==Types of Wraith Constructs==*[[Wraithguard]]**[[Wraithblade]]s*[[Wraithlord]]**[[Wraithseer]]*[[Hemlock Wraithfighter]]*[[Wraithknight]]*[[Harlequin Dreadnought]]*[[Harlequin Wraithlord]]*[[Castigator (Dark Eldar)]] ==Trivia=={{Trivia}}'''Ghost-Warriors''' were first introduced in the [[1st Edition]] where they are also referred to as ''Battle Drones''. Along with [[Wraithlord#Trivia|Spirit-Warrior]]s, they are shown as an alternate to [[Wraithlord#redirect Trivia|Eldar Dreadnought]]s.{{Fn|1}} [[Image:Battledroneswd101pg2.jpg|thumb|right|1st Edition ''Battle-Drones'']]Smaller than Spirit-Warriors, their purpose is assassination, infiltration and sabotage missions. The control system for these robots is provided by an Infinity Circuit whilst their bodies are crafted from a special plastic substance known as [[Stelhene]] that makes them invisible to most forms of sensors. This combination of Stelhene along with internal energy shielding makes a Ghost-WarriorsWarrior nearly impossible to see by any means other than eye-sight.{{Fn|1}}Variant models include the '''Executioner class''' which is typically equipped with a [[chainfist]], a [[power glove]] and a [[flamer]], and coated with [[Cameleoline]]. In contrast, an '''Assassin-class''' models two [[power gloves]] and a [[shuriken]] catapult as part of its armaments; they are also coated in Cameleoline and equipped with a [[teleport homer]].{{Fn|1}} The concept has evolved toward [[Spirit Stone]]-equipped [[Wraithlord]] and [[Wraithguard]], and the word "Ghost warrior" has become the catch-word to describe wraith-constructs of the Eldar. ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Warhammer 40,000: Compendium]], pg. 73*{{Endn|2}}: [[Codex: Eldar (4th Edition)]], pg. 46*{{Endn|3}}: [[Imperial Armour Volume Eleven - The Doom of Mymeara]], pg. 182*{{Endn|4}}: [[Codex: Eldar (6th Edition)]] (E-Book), pg. 37*{{Endn|5}}: [[Iyanden: A Codex: Eldar Supplement]] - ''Iyanden's rise and Fall'' [[Category:Artificial Beings]][[Category:Eldar]]
