Wraithlords are towering wraithbone constructs imbued the spirits of dead Eldar warriors. They're bigger than the human-sized wraithguard, and instead of carrying guns that rip holes in space-time, they're either carrying heavy weapons on their shoulders (or like a bigass rifle) or huge fucking swords.
This one has has all the heavy weapons it could fit on its shoulders AND the huge fucking wraithbone sword, which is not strictly legal under 40k rules, but
a) in fluff terms, you'd need to be a specialist Farseer or Warlock just to find a dead Exarch in the Infinity Circuit, let alone talk it into jumping into wraithbone shell with no dick. Were you to achieve this at all, and the thing started grunting "Diiiiick! Where's my diiiick?" and plucking giant anti-tank weapons AND a huge fucking sword, you're hardly likely to start arguing about load-out limits, are you? No. You'd check your runes, and point the thing in the direction of the nearest Dreadnaught. If you were a skilled Seer, you might even provide the psychic implication Matt Ward's torso was inside, WITH dick intact!
And b) in game terms, it's worth the modelling time for the look on your your opponent's face!
Allegedly, they're not quite as dominant as Space Marine Dreadnoughts, partially because they don't have two power fists since 4th edition, and partially because they're occasionally whining about not having dicks anymore, behavior Idranel objects to.
In practice, their dickless-ness tends to promote WardRage *, and the Wraithbone sword gets used to slice off the dicks of opposing Dreadnoughts rather more often than tactical best practice would recommend.
- Previously, the Eldar have harnessed the power of living suns to annihilate their enemies; but since the release of Codex:Grey Knights, they've been able to harness the power of WardRage too.
So you're in trouble if you decided to play Grey Knights against the Eldar; God help you if you start quibbling which Eldar weapons are Ward-nerfed by the Plasma Siphon plasma; and if you're foolish enough to play a Grey Knights Dreadnought against a WardRaging Eldar Wraithlord, fucking look out!
