Specifically Craftworld Eldar. I know that Dark Eldar would likely pay a Haemonculus to regrow the limb, but do CWE have similar technics?
Or is there any fluff of an Eldar having a wraithbone limb?
I am picturing a Guardian with a Wraithguard arm.

I'm guessing they would just grow a prosthetic using wraithbone, it probably wouldn't look much different to a regular eldar armoured limb, you could paint it a more bony colour for modelling purposes.
Maybe they're psychically linked to it so they can use it like a normal limb.
Haven't heard of anything like this in the fluff though

I wouldn't put it past the eldar simply to be able to heal them, although I do remember reading somewhere that eldar bionics are so refined and delicate that they look indistinguishable to regular limbs.
Either that or you can go with my exodites that use sylvaneth bits for twisted skeletal wraithbone limbs

Short term fix, wraithbone bionics. Over time, the missing limb/organ would regrow or be replaced.

That was some text quote from the Old Dark millenium Bionic member card or such as i recall it too.

They are space elves with space magic. They probably use said magic to regrow limbs.

Ah, there's the source thanks.
So officially we've got 'eldar bionics look indistinguishable from eldar limbs'.
Unofficially we've got 'eldar probably regrow limbs using space magitech'.

According to the path books they're perfectly capable of regrowing lost limbs. Haemonculi are just the best at this kind of stuff, but they are not the only ones capable.

Old Eldar models had bionic limbs just like Space Marines --- but that was from when they were simply Space Elves. I'd assume - like the rest - Wraithbone bionics now would "look" cleaner.
Example from my army:

I thought that was an Eldar power fist rather than a bionic.

D'oh. It's the leg that's the bionic.

Don't worry - maybe the fist is a bionic too.

Yeah, you could have bionics with weapons built in for RT (bionic limb, built in power fist, etc). Which was also echoed in the Inquisitor game. Gav Thorpe's Eldar novels imply that eldar (with assistance from healers) can regrow even lost limbs over time. Something about them having awareness down to cellular level that can stimulate regrowth (but it does require help and a certain mindset - they cannot still be wearing their "war mask", for example).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Yes, her left leg is much faster than her right one, so she can only run in circles.

'Most races are capable of producing bionic parts which may or may not be cosmetically designed to match the original organs depending which race produced them. For example, Eldar bionics are often impossible to detect visually...'
(Wargear (2nd ed.), pg.70).
The illustration of an Eldar pirate in the 4th ed. Rulebook (pg.138) had a bionic arm.
The Eldar Ranger from Inquisitor, Alanthrasil, had an advanced bionic eye: 'Hiriaq [pirate prince] had his crippled hand replaced by the finest of gilt bionics, just as Alanthrasil’s damaged face was covered by the most advanced of augmetic replacements.'
('Alanthrasil Swiftblade', pg.97, PDF from Specialist games site (I presume from the page number, originally in an annual)).
