Wraith Constructs (Ghost Warriors) EXPLAINED By An Australian | Warhammer 40k Lore 

The T-shirt is new, super comfy and I reckon looks quite good. Might pick up the rest of the collection, Wadda ya think? Oh yea and heres some Smentai : www.patreon.com/majorkill

wraiths aren't even that bad morally considering being a wraith in a mech keeps their souls safe from the chaos gods

*"Why worship a machine god when you can become one?"* - Some Eldar probably

*MajorKill:* "the Eldar are the good guys" *The necron race:* "bruh I'm standing right here"

As someone who uses an eldar army entirely made of wraiths I see nothing wrong with necromancy.

Wraith's genuinley have me considering making a Craftworld army. They're that cool to me

If death was more permanent in 40k then necromancy would be horrible but this is the plight of the Eldar this is how it is they have no afterlife hence glimpses of family and playing what they would consider a video game in a mech they would probably not hate it

.....when you think about it... ....the wraith is literally the coolest coffin we could possibly have imagined.

After hearing “getting wraiths to serve them” Now I can’t unsee an wraith guard serving at a restaurant

But it's not the Necromancy you'd think of. These wraith constructs willingly defend the living. it's like an ultimate sacrifice. Not really grimdark. Because nobody's really forcing them to be like this. It's actually quite a noble act. Ofc, there are some naughty spiritseers and craftworlds, but it'd be like condemning an entire nation due to few individuals' actions.

yes! more eldar lore Major kill, maybe the aspects and phoenix lords next?

Eldars need more love. They’re codex is super old, they haven’t had new models since forever apart from just an upcoming box set, and GW said that they’re just shelving all projects for eldar books. This was my army when i actually played and i never enjoyed something more than deleting an entire squad of marines with my dark reapers, charging a terminator squad with my banshees, annihilating a command squad with bright lances while rerolling all dices because of psychic powers.

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure how being turned into a mecha bone anime titan is a "horrible thing to do" to someone, it seems like a 100x upgrade to sitting in a soulstone purgatory for eternity or being cock and ball torture vored for eternity.

I would love to hear new dawn of War with all the factions talking and insulting each other.

They are the least populated race in the galaxy- are they less Eldar than Tau? I was always thinking that they are the least numerous because of how tiny their empire is

Wraiths have so much design potential i really hope we see something new come for them

0:09 Death Knights of the Ebon Blade: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."

7:55 Mace Windu approves of the Purple Lightsaber.

With so much technology, you’d figure eldar would either clone or have artificial gestation systems to pump up those numbers.

"Wraithbone is incredibly versatile, you can make the most lifelike constructs out of it or the best and brightest can make an entire craftworld" That's it. Head Cannon officially is now Wraithbone is actually cocaine

No wonder the Ynnari wanted to wake up Ynnead the Eldar God of Death so that they won't have to rely on Eldar Necromancy anymore.

Very happy to see a wraith video! Wraiths are units that have always fascinated me and although wasn’t my main draw into the Craftworld Eldar, was a big part of it. Thanks for the video Majorkill!

Iyanden Spirit Host 💛💙 I just hope Iyanna Arienal returns as a named HQ with a glorious miniature on TT one day. I miss the times the Spiritseers used to be Iyanden unique datasheets.

Yknow what would be cool, a video about non Chaos based warp magic and entities

You forgot Castigators. Dark Eldar version of Wraithlords with a bunch of extra weapons duct-taped onto them and extra soul-stones slapped onto them with some programing making them think they are on an epic battliefield, killind enemies like heroes of old, while they are commiting genocides. Vet used them in the Path of the Archon when bunch of Dark Eldra rebelled against him, and everyone started to say that Vect uses the undead as his footsoldiers to fight the living.

I just ordered another 5 wraithblades this morning, cheers lads!

I suggest next to be about Tau's battlesuits

glad to see the eldar getting some love from schmames smirkshop after such a long time. besides, im sure Mjorkill would agree that it's hard to go past them pointy ears and shapely rears

It's Ironic that the Imperium, a death cult that uses flesh constructs and has an lich-god king, sees Wraith constructs as evil.

Wraith knights are one of my favourite models from GW

Thanks for putting out some solid Eldar content. Love my space elves!

Dark eldar: we do have rape mech Eldar: you mean Wraith Mech right? Dark eldar: :) Eldar: you mean wraith mech right!?

Ive always thought those big ass eldar robots are mecha. Didnt know its actually a possess dolls.

Major kill, A while ago, during your custodes video, you mentioned "The Lucifer Blacks." Can you explain more about these guardians of the imperial palace?

I really like the idea of Noble Undead. Like Ancestor Spirits. These “Ghost Warriors” are very cool.

I can't wait to buy the new Eldar box set first models I'll ever buy and paint

The Imperium: *survives Games Workshop: “Not like that!”

Evil alien necromancy! Proceeds to make dreadnaught.

*Hemlock Wraith Fighter flies right over me* Begins to see a swarm of fuck-off huge bees swarming right towards me and screaming my head off.

0:55 Either that or let those Eldar souls be sent to Slaanesh or remain at the Craftworld's Infinity Circuit.

Your videos are awesome! Keep up the bad ass content MajorKill.

More like Warforged in D&D than your typical necromancy.

GET IN THE WRAITH-KNIGHT SHINJRAD

Lol the imperium calling people necromancers when they worship a practical “god of death”.

I dig the black and pink Wraithknight. My first exposure to them was Dawn of War 3 with Taldeer and her brother.

Wanna know a potenital fun fact potenital fact definetly fun... jk Ive seen that the whole wraith bone asthetic is very similar to the works of the polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński specially when he depicts buildings. You can see it very well in the Dawn of War 3 annoncement trailer in the minute 1:25 even the building resembles one of his works id name it but its Untiteled like most of his its a big blue building very similar to the one in the trailer. Makes you wonder maybe GW got inspiration from him since his paintings are very grim dark and from the epoc. Glad you stayed till the end.

Glad you talked about these things my dude

yes. eldar lore at last. More love for eldar!

Happy new year!

GET IN THE ROBOT, SHINJI!!

0:05 Xardas from Gothic franchise is a decent necromancer who helps you, same with the one from diablo

Have you tried throwing wraith guards at it? That usually works. -TTS Vect

keep up the good work my good man 👍

God this channel is the greatest thing ever

9:40 why does that Wraithlord have the Inquisition insignia and purity seals This is so fucking heresy

I’m not huge on the tabletop game but this video dropping with all these new eldar models is tempting me ngl

Nice t-shirt 😉 While the Aeldari are cool in their own right, I'm still keen on the Necrons. They defied their so-called "gods" and beat them down. I find such defiance fascinating 😁

Love ya keep it up man!

Get in the wraithknight, Shinji

Hahahahhah, my friend sent me this. Didn't expect to see my art here. For reference it's the neon purple one in the thumbnail. I tried to do some like day of the dead neon style for a friend as a concept piece. I have no idea how you found it

nice to see you major

This was great 👌, u should do more eldar videos.

I'm mentally replacing every 'organic' with Psychoactive. Wraithbone is material made from warpstuff, it's not exactly living. But Eldar find it useful because as natural psykers, a substance like Adamantium that you can manipulate with your mind is pretty dope, even if you need to specialize in it before it starts becoming 'putty' instead of 'barely warm enough metal.'

More Eldar Lore this is awesome!

“Overly aggressive cockless mushrooms” killed me and that sense of humor is why I subscribed in the first place

Wraiths were my first model kit. Ive built a 5000+ pts wraith army. Knights , lords , blades , guards anf a seer. Love em!

“The Imperium considers the use of wraiths alien necromancy.” They say as they strap a drugged up, barely living pile of organs into an iron coffin in a dreadnought.

What? The Eldar forgot how to make certain Wraith constructs? What are they? The Imperium of Man? They might as well ally with the Imperium, just as forgetful as the cogboys, just as arrogant as the monkeighs, and just as fucked when Chaos, the Necrons, the Orcs or the Nids take over. Also the Imperium seems to have a better deal when it comes to Dreadies. Hey, you may be a bit of a Timmah! right now, but if you still want to kick arse for the Emprah we got this big giant walking robot for you? As opposed to you're kinda dead and stuck in this soulstone on the account of Slaanesh wanting to feast on your soul, but we can stick you in a giant walker, and if it gets destroyed, instant Slaanesh! Of, and extra super crispy fun if you are a twin. Only Chaos offers a worse deal.

"the dead must join our ranks, lest we be forced to join theirs. "

Hemlock D-scythes are my personal favourite slice of cheese in the entire setting. My Dark Heresy GM had a tween Eldar get abducted by a docked Hemlock that he had curiously broken into, which led to a rather interesting dual-part NPC; 1/2 of which knew what it was doing but couldn't speak, & the other 1/2 who was completely out of his depth but could at least communicate with the PCs. Who in their turn essentially saw a toddler holding a heavy bolter, & understandably freaked out.😂

You know it's a good day when I get to hear BOW TO ME.

wraith guard sound like my old gaming-toaster that barely handled my heavily modded oblivion and always took his sweet time in loadingscreens

just finished the infinate and the divine books. amazing novel, but could u do a vid on the flayer and destroyer curses a bit? cheers

Dude those are sick weapons

9:15 Ah yes, a "GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT SHIJI!" moment.

Nice video!!!!

GW: The imperium is xenophobic. Me: Well...have you seen the xenos?

Resurrection is just loving without giving up

Another nice video Majorkill, and some nice xeno lore. Do you think you could do the aspect warriors soon?

Based major bro keep liftin

2:05 Bad idea to build AI robots as it would end up becoming the *"Men of Iron Rebellion: Eldar Edition."*

Another banger

Majorkill. Can you do a vid explaining saints? I know you did one about loyalist demons but like. Saints

"GET IN THE FUCKING WRAITHKNIGHT SHINRI! THE WHOLE CRAFTWORLD IS IN PERIL! YOU FUCKING FUCK! DO IT YOU BITCH!" -Some Eldar Warlock

I think I found the next army I want to collect! Get the new Eldar and some wraith seers and warriors as back up!

any time the imperium is compared to nazis a bit of my soul cringes and dies

Mecha Elf Waifus, my fav!

'this video is sponsored by drukari flesh sculptors'

"Get into the fucking wraith knight Shinji"

Smole...slammer...that's a new one lol I like it

I had no idea that the Hemlock Wraithfighter was the ultimate savage 😂

Hey Majorkill, off topic to this video, but I had a somewhat wacky ass idea on how they could bring in the great Autismo Perturabo into the 40k setting. More specifically, what he would "Be" - Take the idea that his Great Crusade/Horus Heresy design makes him basically a compact imperial knight in forepower and boi didn't the Iron Warriors love their siege weapons and vehicles. Why not for his demon primarch form we kick that up to both combine and push it to the levels of insanity? Perturabo in lore would fill in this crazy niche that the other Demon Primarchs could not and how he could go about this would even get Papa Smurf caught off guard, now this would not be that much of a good idea for miniatures because of this BUT for lore would be bat shit insane. What if, we have Perturabo essentially become a "Transformer" in the almost literal sense, given the Obliterator Virus and demon engines that can typically be seen by the Iron Warriors, what if the concept could be applied to Perty whilst retaining his overall firepower and "Siege" appeal. Where he can warp his body to transform into various vehicles, even taking on excess scraps of metal to add more mass and even make different weapons on the fly. Imagine it, he appears as a typical humanoid Demon Primarch, guns blazing like an A-10 warthog, then when the enemy tries to retreat he just changes into something like a shunked down Baneblade/Chaos Landraider and gives chase? Food for thought, and I only had this wacky idea hours ago, but put your additions/hot takes to it in the replies.

It's either necromancy or having your soul devoured by slanesh, they don't have much of a choice.

Video idea: could a single space Marine legion conquer the real life world of earth in 2022

Dark Eldar do have wraith-bone they just don't have the capability to make it, they raid from other Eldar. But to use it they have to corrupt it. Bigboi Vect himself even has a whole bunch of corrupted Wraith constructs guarding his palace called Castigators as detailed in the Path of The Dark Eldar books

"GET IN THE FUCKING WRAITHKNIGHT SINJI!!!"

Get in the Wraith Knight, Shinji!

Any Ork lore upcoming? If not all good, luv tha vidz ya gitz

9:39 was already there before you even started the sentence.

Farseer: get in the f***ing robot shinji!
