What's the best way to gear one of these guys? I plan on using him in a list with a few serpents, spiders, wraithguard, maybe some warwalkers, etc.

His only option are Remnants of Glory, so there's not much to consider. Most of them are no good for him either, as he is not fighty enough for Fire Sabre or Shard of Anaris, no access to a Jetbike to make proper use of the Mantle, needs to stay with his unit to be useful so makes the Wings useless, and the Long Rifle is just a joke, leaving the Stone as the only real viable option. Bare bones is his best bet.

For Vanilla, this is pretty true.


You have a few more options worth Considering in the Iyanden supplement, but for the most part just keep them stock, with perhaps one of them taking the Wraithstone or Helm.

The stone is absolelutely great.. Especially with telepathy..
It really depends if you want lots of MC if you want the Iyanden gear that gives extra wounds out..

Basically you go stock unless you have an MC you want to heal, then grab the wraithforge stone.

The other stone I mean.. I forget its name.. The one that your warp2 powers cost one charge by sacrificing your armour.. Endless poatential..Risky but you have wraithbone bubble-wrap on..

You know I thought he was asking that what unit was best to put him in, not best wargear...

The wraithforge stone is great if you have a WK.

I would normally go naked otherwise but here are some fun uses;

The helm is nice if you made a wraithscythe or axe unit to stick him in with otherwise the faolchus wing can be useful to get a line breaker point late game.

The Iyanden helm (Xellethon, is it?) is fantastic for your Warlord, to avoid giving away that point.
Of course, that might not be a Spiritseer, it's a Farseer for me.

Forgot about the supplement, but the OP didn't mention it so not sure if he is playing it.

If you are running a couple of wraith units (with the Iyanden supplement) I recommend a spiritseer with the Spirit Stone of Anath'lan so you can take the Iyanden primaris and still cast a second psychic power.

Not a fan of the wraithforge stone as the range is quite limiting.

If you aren't using the supplement then a bare bones spiritseer is best.

If you are running Codex: Eldar, then streaking spiritseers are best(naked, get it...lol).

If you are going Iyanden then you have options, Wraithstone, Helm of X..., and the Spear of Tethuas.

If you are fielding a Wraithknight the stone is nice to have, but the range is limiting, expect use in the first two turns or so, then its unlikely you'll see much use out of it.

Helm is great for your Warlord or if the Spiritseer is with Wraithblades.

The Spear of Tethuas is great for a Spiritseer running around with Wraithblades, who doesn't need a cheap S9 Rending 18" shot. Cheap versatility to add to Wriathblades if they have a Spiritseer along for the ride anyways.

I didn't think you could take equipment from the main codex if you are using the supplement?

Edit: Or is that only a change with the Farsight supplement?

Take him as he comes, then give him (or, indeed, her) a Wraithguard bodyguard with D Scythes. (His mere presence with a Shuriken Pistol boosts the range of the wound pool by 4" for a start.)

If you're lucky enough to roll Protect as a power, then enjoy curbstomping your enemy with your near invincible Ghost Warriors of Doom. But always take Conceal. There are too many Battlecannons and Krak Missiles out there just waiting to ruin your day.
