Falcons and Serpents are vehicles that basically use Wraithbone where Imperials would use metal (only much, much more advanced).

Maulerfiends et al are metal-based machines that a demon has possessed. It can exert its will over it, even at times (5+) when the mechanism was destroyed.

Wraithlords are piles of Wraithbone, animated by psyker/soul energy. It has more in common with a greater demon than a walker. It has no internal mechanisms to damage. Not even redundant organs. Until the body is completely deformed, it is still fully functional. You can't break a belt or breach an engine.

You keep thinking there is a pilot. There really isn't. There is a being. It is the wraithlord.

You could blow off a weapon, but if you blew off a leg, it could crawl. Just like a DP or Nid.

The division is a line in the sand somewhere. Lots has been posted about it in Proposed Rules.

(Nids are less in line with being MCs instead of vehicles than Wraithlords, and they're the poster child of the class! Redundant organs are good, but not having organs is even less mechanical.)
