Warhammer 40k Games Workshop Aeldari: Wraithguard 46-13

Product Information

There are many different forms of Wraithlord, most of which have been devised by Craftworld Iyanden to better suit the warrior spirit inside. If the animating force within the Wraithlord specialised in close assault when it was alive, it will seek to tear apart its enemies with great energised fists or cleave its foes with a swing of the sentient scimitar known as a Ghostglaive. Tradition has it that each craftworld keeps these vengeful constructs apart from other Ghost Warriors so that the immortal anger that pervades their wraithbone shells does not taint those who might one day attain peace within the Infinity Circuit. As Zhemon's empire of anarchy spread, worlds that had been cleansed of Chaos influence now fell deeper under the sway of the Dark Gods than ever before, the incepted madness spreading like a plague.

Prince Yriel during the scouring of the ExoWraithguard's powers: "Wraithguard's primary function is to protect the wearer from the fatal energies of the artifacts Sunder and Keening. It also has minor protective enchantments against physical and magical damage that you may find useful." When the call to war is heard, these beings are awakened by the most gifted Seers. Their Spirit Stones glow hot as the slow-burning anger of the dead flows through their cores. Once kindled, the wrath that animates their wraithbone bodies becomes an unstoppable fury that can only be quenched in the blood of their foe. Alas, it soon became clear that the Asuryani of Biel-Tan fought not to defeat servants of the Dark Gods, but to humble all who barred the Asuryani path to re-ascension. With every success, Biel-Tan grew more confident, and before long, they no longer limited themselves to the destruction of Chaos. Instead, Biel-Tan began to loose its fury against any alien-occupied planet the Aeldari had once claimed. gracious keeper: "I owe my life to Lord Fyr. He took me in when I was a mad monster, out of my mind. In time, I emerged from my dementia, and now I am quite lucid most of the time, though my body is still a grotesque and useless prison. And I still have some feeble hope of cure. Lord Fyr has tried many spells and potions. None have helped me, but neither have they harmed me. If anyone can cure this disease, Lord Fyr can."

These constructs were referred to as their own class of robots, despite the disembodied sentience that guided them. They have made no further appearance as originally conceived in the later editions of Warhammer 40,000 canon and seem to have been replaced by Eldar Wraithlord and Wraithguard constructs, which operate in a very similar manner and also are controlled by the Spirit Stones of long-dead Eldar warriors. Summoned into being by the necromantic processes of the Asuryani Seers, only a true hero of the Aeldari species has spirit enough to animate the massive wraithbone shell of a Wraithlord. An Asuryani army may be accompanied by several of these heroes of ages past, but, like all of their kind, they are dependent upon the presence of living Aeldari for their sense of purpose.It is well that each Wraithknight is capable of such feats of heroism, for it is they who are at the forefront of the quest for new Spirit Stones. By passing through forbidden portals and traversing the shattered multidimensional spars of the Webway, Wraithknights can emerge onto the surface of the Crone Worlds, where the nature of realspace shears with that of the Warp. The Resist Blight Disease effect is only significant if Wraithguard is obtained by killing Vivec; at the point in the Main Quest when Vivec would give you Wraithguard voluntarily, you would already have 100% resistance. Roused from their dreamless slumbers and interred within mighty wraithbone bodies, the spirits of the past must fight for Iyanden's future, and for its very survival.

Good! Very good! You have found Kagrenac's Journals! Now you must also find Kagrenac's Planbook and bring them to me before I can attempt to restore the mythopoeic enchantments on Wraithguard."Whether they’re fighting as the vanguard of a Tyranid swarm or as the killer elite of a cult uprising, Genestealers are swift as a blur and utterly deadly. Now that they’re only 13 points per model – or 15 for the Purestrain variety – we’re sure the maximum unit size of 20 Genestealers is looking all the more tempting. You must find Kagrenac's Planbook and Kagrenac's Journals and bring them to me before I can attempt to restore the mythopoeic enchantments on Wraithguard." So. It's you again. What brings you to visit Yagrum Bagarn, Master Crafter, and Last Living Dwarf?"
