Unit Focus: Aeldari Wrathblades (10th Edition)

[@Alfie2609]

I think the first 40k unit I ever fully painted was my unit of wraithblades from the start collecting box!

[@makeytgreatagain6256]

I got into elder as my first army due to the wraithlord and blade/guard. I enjoyed them so much I brought another box of wraithguard and I didn’t even play the game back then I just liked having them on my shelves

View for the algorithm god. Comment for the engagement throne!

[@benpinches3497]

Ghostaxe wraithblades some of the sickest of models in the game imo 😍

[@markdorn8873]

And, of course, the Rule of Cool always applies. 😎 Wraithblades look cool, and so are worth fielding.

[@Vraimorte]

Always loved my Wraithguard. The OG rules. ABSOLUTELY BROKEN. Made the necrons look tame.

[@_Xerota_]

I'm fairly new to 40K, and I started Collecting Aeldari mid 2022 because of the wraiths, I love how they look.

[@ProxyHammer1]

Love wraiths! Have run a pure wraith list on and off for a long time! Such a cool unit as well!

[@chrisattwood5930]

I love how you point out you prefer the blades, i prefer the blades too. I have storm guardians, banshees and wraith blades all with blades painted the same

[@smoothgarak9537]

Running 10 + 2 units of 5 blades. And 10 Canon guards. And 2 lords at warhammer world next month lmao (+some gubbins like spiders etc). I just love them. Expecting to go 5 losses.

[@WBConcilio]

Hahaha, that is AWESOME!!

[@paulbostock897]

I love my wraithblades, they always end up being my mvp in games, they soak up so much damage with fortune on them and are a great distraction carnifex

[@paulbostock897]

In addition I think fates messenger on the spiritseer is still good with the wraithblades allowing you to flip a failed saving throw

[@TheLordNoodles]

I’m returning to the hobby after 17 years gone. Thanks for your work

[@Arcothefox]

Love seeing a fellow Iybraesil player. Also I love the Wraithblades, probably a bit too much as I have no wraithcannon wielding Wraithguard. I keep forgetting about the Farseer on foot being able to help everyone and not just his own unit.

[@ThKiller458]

theyre just so much cooler than guard imo, mini dreadnoughts with a shield and axe slapping people around lol

[@tsumugi1654]

Love the channel, please keep them coming!

[@Levity31]

You rock man! Love your videos and thank you for always sharing so much knowledge!

[@WBConcilio]

I HAVE SUCH A WEAKNESS FOR UNRESERVED ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT! Thank you :)

[@chrisgoddard7981]

Great breakdown. Thanks Brent. 👍🤘

[@WBConcilio]

My pleasure

[@rickytantriad]

Fantastic commentary and information! Great video, thanks for the upload Brent!

[@andysmith2235]

Can’t wait to view Brent, nice one

[@Sealbag]

This will pair nicely with my morning coffee ☕ Greetings from Aus

[@WBConcilio]

I actually love when people tell me where they are from in these comments- thank you :)

[@Sealbag]

No worries! Also, not sure if you're aware but Auspex Tactics just gave you a shoutout in his latest Eldar vid. On an unrelated note, incase you weren't aware, windriders seem to have received a pseudo buff via the latest Necrons FAQ about Lokhust Destroyers, since their re-rolls abilities have the same wording. Don't need to be closest to the unit on the objective for the full re-rolls. Unless I'm missing something...

[@WBConcilio]

@@Sealbag thank you! I had no idea- I really like Auspex Tactics. I will also look into the Necron thing; it's something else I didn't know

[@Sealbag]

Here's the link to the FAQ: www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/S5ThB5tL9CLxVU3a.pdf And here's the description of the ability it references from Battlescribe: Lokhust Destroyers Hard-wired for Destruction - Each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack that targets the closest eligible enemy unit, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. If the target of that attack is within range of an objective marker your opponent controls, you can re-roll the Hit roll instead.

[@physetermacrocephalus2209]

My favorite unit!

[@stamatisarvanitidis2430]

Wraithblades are like the Alarus terminators of the custodes. Insanely tough that you'llunderstand only after you play them and they do crazy dmg in melee. Definatelly a great unit that it's only problem is that it exists in the Aeldari codex where there are so many better options.

[@crangon78]

Im hoping these will see a price drop compared to the Guard. That'll then make them a viable competitive choice

[@initialrift9128]

My eldar list has a big brick of 10 wraithguard w/ cannons, 10 blades with shields, 2 wraithlords, skathack wraitknight, a squad of rangers and 2 squads of hawks

[@WillPeterson]

How much does the nerf to Phantasm effect the viability of these guys?

[@WBConcilio]

It's a blow, but you can still use Fire and Fade to rocket across the board turn 1- be sure to use a Fate die for the auto advance though

[@zramirez5471]

Whoa dude, massive upgrade to your intro!!

[@WBConcilio]

?? It's the same intro as always 🤣

[@davidfeline5850]

​@@WBConcilio Still very cool though 😉

[@WBConcilio]

@@davidfeline5850 I'll take it!!

[@RAINBOWBEARMAN]

this is several months old i know but is there a way to make these guys work en masse

[@WBConcilio]

@@RAINBOWBEARMAN you can definitely run two squads of ten each lead by a Spiritseer, but you would be better off giving the second block cannons

[@RAINBOWBEARMAN]

@@WBConcilio thanks, is there a reason you would want cannons over axes for the 2nd squad?

[@jackp492]

They can also allow you to summon a blue eyes white dragon into your games of 40k

[@ElGordoBandito]

I am pretty disappointed that the Wraithguard and Wraith Knight just outshine the other wraith units so much. I love my Wraithblades and Wraithlords, but they’re just not of the same caliber as the shooty wraiths.

[@tedcogley1939]

Nice

[@anselme9493]

*Wraith. Nice

[@mattsart415]

Intro volume needs lowering and voice volume needs a bump, bout went deaf then couldnt hear you

[@jdrobertson42]

The plastic wraith infantry are old? Ugh, I remember when you paid $25 each for monopose metal models if you wanted wraithguard…

[@WBConcilio]

I am so old that I remember when you could get to monopose wraith models in one blister pack for eight bucks

[@squizmasterzero9342]

3rd ed monpose models, never even got a unit of em cos of that.

[@craigbrunotte]

Helko

[@SCRunnie]

I had doomstalkers kill 7 wraithblades with axes in 1 shooting phase

[@WBConcilio]

OUCH!!! Did the Wraithseer have Fortune?

[@etrecklefrancois2792]

7:41 Sorry Brent, Cover cannot improve a save to better than 3+, so cover doesn't matter to AP-1 weapons. Great explanation on the movement tricks, pretty savage to move this 20-27" turn 1! 😂 Been a fan of Wraith Army since I bought an Iyanden Battle Force back in 3rd, loving the content. Cheers.

[@WBConcilio]

It does matter. Reread the cover rules; cover doesn't benefit models with a save of 3 or better against AP 0- so a 3up save cannot become a 2up save. But models with 3up or 2up save in cover still get a bonus against attack that DO have AP. A model with a 2up save naturally that is in cover still saves on a 2up against -1AP, but a model with 3up can never get to 2up with cover

[@SanDan3rdDan]

What do you guys think of 2 squads of 5? Then you can have both blades and axes. With 2 Spiritseers that's 2 revives per command phase.

[@WBConcilio]

I don't think it is two revives- I think an opponent will kill one squad, then the other to avoid giving you multiple revives. Also, you can't make two squads both fast,- and in small numbers, their OC is low. I think it's hard to use them especially well or be especially clever with two fives, but against very casual opponents, they would probably do just fine

[@SanDan3rdDan]

@@WBConcilio makes sense.

[@proffeserian219]

Wraiths are probably one of the only cool models in the Eldar range
