Hemlock Wraithfighter

The Eldar needed a fancy jetfighter to allow them to dominate the battle and thus they came up with the Hemlock Wraithfighter. This fast flying vessel is manned with a spiritseer along with spiritstones. This most likely allows them to use some nifty psychic predicting to get the best targets. This is good, because armed with two heavy D-scythes this thing can do swift hit and run attacks to wrack your army's shit up.
Like with other Wraith constructs, the Eldar tend to dislike using these forces unless absolutely necessary, because the spirit stones are being used to power the thing and that is looked upon as Necromancy. Just cleaner and a lot less direct. Also, the pilot apparently has the risk of somehow having his soul transmute into the aircraft itself, leaving his body behind. So there's that, too. Finally, the main weapon of this vehicle works by literally separating the enemy's soul from their body; while this is clearly very effective, the Eldar apparently consider this way too disturbing.
An alternate form of aircraft that shares this body-type are used by the Crimson Hunters aspect, the Nightshade.
It looks like the experimental SU-47 Berkut. More like the old Monogram F-19A Specter model kit.
