Canoptek Wraiths | Warhammer 40K Necrons | MOD Shop

The Warhammer 40,000 Necrons Canoptek Wraiths set is a multipart plastic kit that builds three Canoptek Wraiths — fast, serpentine constructs that flit through the dusty halls of a Necron tomb world as its eyes, ears, and silent guardians. Their phase shifters let them slip in and out of the normal space-time continuum, phasing their claws and tendrils straight through an enemy's body before resolidifying to sever arteries and nerve clusters without leaving a mark. On the battlefield, that same technology makes them maddeningly hard to kill and devastating to face in close quarters.

On the tabletop, Canoptek Wraiths are a premier fast-attack melee unit. They surge forward with surprising speed, ignore much of the punishment thrown at them thanks to their phase-shifter invulnerable save, and tear into infantry and elites alike. They're a brilliant tool for tying up enemy units, screening your slower Necron battle line, and striking where the foe is weakest — a flexible, durable harasser for any tomb world's legions.

For hobbyists, these are a striking, characterful build. The flowing, snake-like bodies make for dynamic, eye-catching poses, and the carapace plates and glowing power nodes are a perfect canvas for the eerie emerald-and-metal look that defines the Necron aesthetic.

What's in the box

• 3 multipart plastic Canoptek Wraiths
• Multiple head options and articulated serpentine bodies for dynamic posing
• Supplied with bases
• Supplied unpainted and requires assembly — we recommend Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints

Build & weapon options

• Every Wraith is armed with vicious claws for close combat
• Any model can replace its vicious claws with whip coils to lash and pin the enemy in place
• Any model can also be equipped with a ranged weapon — a particle caster or a transdimensional beamer — to add a little firepower to the unit
• A selection of head options and the flexible, segmented bodies let you give each Wraith its own menacing pose

Who this kit is for

Necrons players who want a fast, resilient melee unit to harass and disrupt the enemy, collectors building toward a Canoptek-themed force, and painters drawn to dynamic, alien forms and that signature glowing-green Necron palette. Wraiths pair naturally with a broader tomb world legion as the fast, hard-to-kill tip of the spear.
