Third, again, as a DE player, if I go Ynnari, I can again field kabal and cult units without actually losing my detachment traits. This is actually a fairly big shift for me to wrap my head around… I can take a venom of warriors and of wyches and still benefit from the fight first SfD… Once you have selected an eligible unit to declare a charge, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of that charge. The targets of a charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit.

Each Ghost Warrior was controlled by the soul of a dead Eldar ancestor drawn from a craftworld's Infinity Circuit. A Ghost Warrior was smaller than the larger constructs referred to as "Spirit Warriors."

The helm-crested Wraithblades can be made with either a pair of ghostswords – there are five different pairs in the set – or with a ghost axe and forceshield. I’m very happy with the results and my progress so far. Working on this project alongside some friends, who are also progressing their armies during the pandemic, has really motivated me. In fact, I had my first tabletop game in about 20 years just the other day – a game of Warhammer 40,000 using the first 500 points of this army, all fully painted! We had an absolute blast. There are some good things. Honest. Arguably more good than bad, it just doesn’t mean that much. The Good

Iyanden is a craftworld renowned for its tragic history and its serried Spirit Hosts, making heavier use of ghost warriors than any other. Wraith constructs will still be an important part of Iyanden armies, but their Craftworld Attribute is versatile enough to allow for a range of powerful builds focused around elite units of all kinds, including tanks and aspect warriors.

Wrap Up

As you’ll see in the Munitorum Field Manual MkII, the Thousand Sons are also getting a new HQ choice called an Infernal Master. Sounds ominous, right? We’ll have more on this mysterious new addition to the sons of Magnus nearer to their codex’s release, so keep a third eye out for them on Warhammer Community. When used against infantrymen, the result is invariably fatal. Due to their wraithbone construction, Wraithguards can suffer damage that would cripple, or even kill, a living Aeldari warrior and still continue to fight, making them useful in situations that would be suicide for living soldiers. Either way, a single Wraithlord can turn the tide of battle, the legends of the fallen hero animating its shell continuing to grow even in death. About to put together the 10 wraith models I've had in a box for the past year, and I'm wondering whether to make them as Wraithguard over Wraithblades now. It seems like with the reduction of - AP across the board, and the increase in the wraith save to 2+, there aren't as many anti-infantry threats that would warrant the 4++ save that the blades benefitted from so much in previous editions. Is that a fair assessment? The only thing I can think of as an exception would be melta weapons and the like which could still wipe a squad. Yvraine saw a modest amount of use in 8th edition (including by me) as a pure value piece – her ability to throw out both a +cast smite and a Gaze of Ynnead every turn was basically always fine at her cost, and especially in Craftworlds helped you reach a critical mass of mortal wounds to really threaten anything that came to tangle in your lines.

What do you think about this list? I would preferred to not include so many dire avengers but I have no idea how to make this work without them. I love wraiths in the new codex and wanted to run a list around them. The core units I wanted in it were wraithguard/blade units, wraith lords, avatar of khaine and a wraithknight as they are some of my favourite in the new codex. I came up with the list from those models: Though much of Aeldari history is so old as to have become myth, there are more recent events in which the various craftworlds have been known to deploy their dreaded Ghost Warriors: The great measure of control afforded by this gestalt mind gives the pilot mastery over the construct's psychically-powered weapon systems and affords the war machine an acrobatic grace that belies its massive size. Stoic Endurance helps shore up the Craftworld’s vulnerability to Morale tests. Perhaps nothing is worse than watching a couple of casualties on a costly unit of Wraithguard turn into a devastating rout, and with this trait, you won’t have to worry. On the other side of the coin, 20-strong units of Guardians become much more efficient and make for an excellent target for Psychic Powers without having to worry about being mauled in the Morale phase.But if you play Flayed Skull I think you’ll have a leg up on getting the hang of new Ynnari as the Warriors in Venoms as a fire base and are essentially sprinkling some Wyches and CWE assault units on top of that for a great melee wing. Bone is the other core colour and I base Rakarth Flesh before layering on Flayed One Flesh, which as anyone who’s used it will recall is a total pig of a colour especially on large, flat surfaces. Thin layers work ok, or I think for the Wraithblades I actually just faced to bloodshed and drybrushed it on. When you are satisfied with the results rolled, those remaining dice become your Fate dice for the battle. These results cannot be changed or re-rolled further, unless a rule specifically states otherwise. Keep your Fate dice to one side – this is your Fate dice pool. I usually run protect and sometimes the 5+ ignore wounds on them (I do run a unit of wraithguard next to them, and this isn't really for tournaments, more a run what I have). If you can catch the Wraithblades before they get into melee, anti-armour units like Tankbustas and Lascannon Devastators will rip through them. Due to their slow movement speed, they are more vulnerable when they aren’t supported by cover fire.

They’re fine. They all stayed reasonably priced, Ynnari have some nice relics and warlord traits to slap on them with stratagems, and they’re basically just good models. Without a real plan for them, you probably don’t take them, but they’re not horrible. WychesThe infamous Ghost Warriors of the Craftworld Aeldari are formed primarily from the ranks of Wraithguard and Wraithblades . They may not be as big as Wraithlords or the towering Wraithknights , but each such construct is worth many times the warriors of other races. It is to guard against this danger that an Autarch of Iyanden seldom engages in battle without at least one Spiritseer at his side. By maintaining a telepathic link with both the Autarch and the Ghost Warriors, an Iyanden Spiritseer can ensure that the wraith-constructs react swiftly to changes in the battle-plan; more swiftly, sometimes, than the Aspect Warriors and Guardians who make up the remainder of the host. Next up, the other Yncarne configuration. It’s worth saying that this could easily slot into a list like the above as well, but feels slightly more at home here.
