Wraithguard – Aeldari Wraith Infantry

This fits cleanly as Wraithguard, the infantry equivalent of Aeldari commitment pieces. On the tabletop, units like this are usually taken to hold space rather than chase targets. They’re slow, deliberate, and difficult to remove, which makes them well suited to anchoring objectives or pushing into contested areas where lighter units would fold immediately. Wraithguard work best when supported and delivered with intent — once they’re in position, they apply steady pressure and force opponents to deal with them properly instead of ignoring them. They’re not flexible and they don’t redeploy easily, so placement matters more than aggression. As a proxy, the heavy wraith construct silhouette makes their role obvious at a glance, which helps keep games clear and avoids confusion about threat or durability. This is a practical choice for players who want a reliable, resilient unit that can contest the board without turning the game into an all-or-nothing centrepiece play.
