Wraithlords are the embodiment of fallen heroes; Exarches, Autarches, Witches, etc of the pass returned to fight for their craftworld again. Each Wraithlord is tailored for that heroes preferred method of fighting.
In total there are 78 different weapon combinations for Wraithlords and over 500 different ways of mounting the weapons, add in conversions and the possiblities are endless.
With so many combinations it can be hard to decide what kind of Wraithlord to make let alone how to model it to capture the style of it's hero's soul.

Dire Avenger: Dual: Shuriken Weaponry.
Howling Banshee: Close Combat: Anti-Heavy Infantry and template "screams".
Fire Dragon: Ranged: Heat Weapons and anti-Armour.
Striking Scorpion: Close Combat: Anti-Swarm.
