Honor Guard Wraith

Honor Guard Wraith The Honor Guard Wraith is a Covenant vehicle and also a special in-game item, included in the recently released Halo Wars Limited Edition.

It is a more ornamental version of the standard Wraith, similar to the "Flame Decal Warthog". Only its appearance is different, as it has a paint scheme that appears similar to the Halo 2 Sangheili Honor Guard armor hence the name (Honor Guard Wraith).

It can be activated in the skulls section on the pause menu while playing the game, it cannot be taken off until the game has ended. Unfortunately only the stripes appear when using it in play. As such you need to obtain the right player colour in multiplayer in order for it to look right.

Game Play
The Honor Guard Wraith is mostly the same in combat. Some think it is distinctly more powerful and faster. In the skulls menu it claims that it is a "Unique variant of the Covenant Wraith". It is driven by experienced Honor Guard Elites, unlike regular Minor Elites, which should technically give it a drastic increase in combat efficiency. The Honor Guard Wraith cannot be used in matchmaking but can be used in private Skirmish matches.
