The '''Wraithguard''' are [[Eldar]] warriors whose spirits are saved from death itself and arise once more in [[Wraith Construct]]s to wage war for their kin. These constructs are larger than typical infantry, spirit creatures whose senses are fixed upon the immaterial universe.{{Fn|4}} Wraithguard inflicted with an unquenchable anger and thirst for vengeance are known as [[Wraithblade]]s and kept segregated from their Wraith Construct kin.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|7}}

These warriors are saved through the guidance of a [[Spiritseer]] who removes the fallen 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 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.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|7}}

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]]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.{{Fn|2}} The most feared and wrathful of the Wraithguards are known as [[Wraithblades]], specializing in close-quarters combat.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|7}}

[[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.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|7}}

In war, the Wraithguard tower over their guiding [[Warlock]]s on the battlefield, where they bring death through the reality shattering [[Wraithcannon]] or soul-stripping [[D-Scythe]].{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|7}}
